A whole load of new transparent, optimised background tiles / images have been added - preview - download - courtesy of subtlepatterns

I've also made some improvements to the 'latest blog posts' widget (reBOOT v4.7.3+), which you can get - here

(it now uses the proper slugs and displays featured images)

We working on a dev site upgraded to XC 4.7.4. and using reBOOT. I need to have my products default to sorting by date, with the new added appearing first. What's the best way to accomplish this?

There isn't an automatic way to sort by date added, unless you have it custom coded.

But, go to admin/configuration.php?option=Appearance and set "Select the order in which products should be displayed within a category" to "Default".

Then go to your category products list (admin/category_products.php?cat=x) and set a custom order to your products by changing the Pos. fields.

Edit: Live sort by 'date added' has been added to reBOOT v4.7.4.1. Also, live sort buttons have been changed to a dropdown - Demo. Get in touch if you want the instructions.

If you have a large amount of manufacturers, here's a handy A-Z mod for the manufacturers list page... Demo - Download (reBOOT v4.7.x). Just backup and upload the files in the zip.

Thank you very much for the update. I would love to receive it. I sent you an email.

I'm having a problem which I have isolated to Reboot. When a new user gets to the check out, they are not able to put in their address, instead the screen stops and everything is grayed out. When I revert to the default XC theme, it works fine.
Perhaps there's a setting I am missing to address this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Happy New Year Phil !!!

Thank you for another fantastic 'reBOOT' Year!!! Our customers love how easy it is to browse and order from our site. It makes our lives so much easier, especially during the hectic Christmas ordering season.

Thank you again!
