It’s been a while from time when Osclass 4.3 was released, today we bring you important updates and improvements of most favorite classifieds script. Open complete osclass changelog.

jQuery updated from 1.8 to 3.6

After 10 years, it is again possible to use latest jQuery version within Osclass. Once you upgrade to 4.4, you will be able to change jQuery version to latest (3.x.x) in Settings > General section. You should test your theme and plugins properly before using it in production, as libraries used in themes or plugin may not be compatible with jQuery 3.x.

Bulk actions are now supported on plugins page

Have you ever think about, how to disable 50 plugins at once, or how to search for particular plugins between 100 others? Until now, this was not possible and it required time consuming one-by-one updating of each plugin. Not anymore, important features has been created on plugin page, including bulk actions, search as well as layout & wording changes in plugin table.

Bulk actions you can now do with plugins:

  • Enable
  • Disable
  • Install
  • Uninstall
  • Delete

UX is very friendly and in case you want to i.e. enable plugin, that is already enabled, this plugin will be skipped and nothing happens to it.

Besides this, you can also search between plugins, where following fields are used in search:

  • Plugin name
  • Description
  • Version
  • Author

Breadcrumbs customization options

New section has been created in backoffice: Settings > Breadcrumbs, that allows you to customize breadcrumbs including:

  • content of breadcrumbs
  • Added option to disable/hide breadcrumbs on specific pages, including custom (plugin) pages
  • Added option to show all levels of categories on listing page
  • Added option to add country, region and city into breadcrumbs on listing page
  • visibility of breadcrumbs on different pages and sections

Essential category tree has been redesigned

Looks like small change, but important is that i.e. custom fields can now be enabled just on subcategory of level 1+ , including different plugins settings using this box.

Backoffice color schemes

Admin can now choose from 9 different admin color schemes. Color scheme is applied on whole backoffice including login (and other gui) pages of oc-admin.

Following color schemes, based on WordPress template, has been created: Default, Light, Modern, Blue, Coffee, Ectoplasm, Midnight, Ocean, Sunrise.

Other important updates and fixes

  • Redesigned architecture of structured data.
  • Checking for plugins, themes, languages and core updates has been redesigned and now reuse cache. Change includes also checking for latest versions of all products in 1 API call.
  • New constants can be defined in config.php: DEMO_THEMES, DEMO_PLUGINS; that can be especially useful for developers.
  • Tabber functions has been added into backoffice
  • Backoffice home page widgets now cache data for 3 days
  • Custom HTML code section has been created in Appearance > Customization and works in similar way as CSS code section.
  • Added cyrilic to latin conversion for URLs.
