Mar 20, 2013

Template news... The Adapt, Ability and Smart templates will not be updated beyond X-Cart v4.5.5, as they will be replaced with a single new fully responsive template, which will be launching early-mid April.

Adapt, Ability and Smart are however open-source from now on, so one license will enable you to use on as many stores as you wish. Prices are dropped also.

The new template will be compatible with X-Cart Gold, Gold Plus and Platinum and only have 'essential' features included.

With a single template code base, it will be easier to maintain and update to newer X-Cart versions (quality, not quantity).

This is partly brought on by the radical changes in X-Cart lately, but is also necessary so that we can provide better support and updates for customers.

I would be interested to get some feedback on what 'essential' features you think ought to be included in the new template...

Mar 9, 2013

v4.5.5 was released by Qualiteam, but bugs and unhappy campers means v4.5.6 is probably around the corner soon.

X-Cart Next got released... we may start developing for the new platform in the near future.

New mod - X-Cart Instant Speed Boost.  New fully responsive template coming soon...

Jan 11, 2013

Oct 3, 2012

Last week X-Cart revamped their product line, splitting X-Cart up into several editions.

An unfortunate situation for developers (no advance warning of this decision was given from Qualiteam) but a step forward for X-Cart nonetheless.

X-Cart Gold will be perfectly adequate for the majority of users, as Gold Plus features are readily available from many third party developers. The double price for Gold Plus is not necessarily justified in our opinion.

However, we are in the process of upgrading our templates to support v4.5.3 Gold Plus and anticipate this taking 1-2 weeks.

Aug 15, 2012

Just a note to say that the new v4.4.x template will be here reasonably soon!  No firm launch date at this time, but hopefully within 2-3 weeks time.

It's become rather complex with the the amount of features included and it's taking a while... we want to get this right first time. We also hope to have it fully documented in time for launch. Thank you for your patience.

The new Smart Template will be launched around the time that X-Cart v4.4.1 is released (Sept 25th) - Roadmap

Aug 6, 2010

So at last, v4.4.0 is released ! I'm sure there will still be minor bugs, as with all new releases, but it's definitely the recommended platform to use right now.

Mods will gradually be ported over to v4.4.x - In the meantime you can assume that they are not yet compatible, details will be published on the products pages when they do become compatible.

Work on the Smart Template for v4.4.x is under way and progressing well. There are many new features and improvements. It will be available for purchase very shortly, so stay tuned for details.
