PetPress

Version 2.3
1) Allows for designated detail page (template) instead of using the same page for both the list and detail pages (premium feature)

Version 2.2.3
1) New shortcode parameter, “randomize=true”, means animals will be shown initially in random order rather than alphabetically. Alphabetical order by name is still the default.
2) Update to vendor code sdk
3) Security enhancements around escaping output, etc.

Version 2.2.2
1) “Location” is now a field that can be on the list pages.
2) Added filters (breed, age, sex, size) to list pages (premium feature)
3) Additional code to make sure that more attempts are made to schedule the refresh cron jobs if the initial scheduling fails.

Version 2.2.1

2) Cron job scheduling more robust, with locking and re-try

2) Cron job will retry 5 times if initial scheduling fails.
3) BUG FIX: Detail page was showing “125 years” for PetPoint animals who did not have a declared birthday (as PetPoint defaults birthdays to Jan 1, 1900). Detail page now shows age group or nothing (if no birthdate and no age group)

Version 2.1.1
1) PetFinder specific: “Days in shelter” computed from publish date in PetFinder.
2) “Weight” / “Size” label not shown on list page if there is no value for weight or size.
3) Refresh interval for Premium plan is user-selectable. Shortest interval is now five minutes (from 15).

3) Added option to shorten refresh interval to 15 minutes (premium feature)
4) Added option to include “Stage” on the list page tiles (along with age/weight etc)

7) BUG FIX: removed extraneous /DIV tags on the list page that could potentially interfere with pages that have a sidebar.
8) BUG FIX: Fixed broken detail page links for animals with entirely numeric names.

3) New CSS for list pages adjusts the size of the tiles for a better fit.
4) Bug fix: Resolves an issue discovered for websites using the Themify Builder that resulted in the lists of animals sometimes showing each animal twice. It is unknown if the problem extended beyond the Themify Builder.

1) Bug fix: Prior to fix, sometimes PetPoint would be called for an individual animal’s record even though there was a cached item recent enough to use instead.
