Simply Buy

1.4.2

• Changed: The Google Calendar entry of an order now has the postcode in its title, between the amount and “Tour” (for example “149,00€ – 10115 – Tour” instead of “149,00€ – Tour”). A quick booking has no postcode and keeps the short title. If a script or an automation reads these titles, adjust it.
• Fixed: The checkout page could show a different price than the booking email and calendar entry. The page now uses the same server-side calculation.
• Fixed: With “Provide separate billing address?” ticked, all billing fields could be left empty. Street, postal code, city and a company or a last name (one of the two) are now required, marked with a star while the box is ticked, and checked in the browser and on the server. The first name stays optional.
• Changed: Easier to read checkout. Labels, fields and buttons use 16px whatever base size the theme sets, so iOS Safari no longer zooms in on a field. Error labels and the “please tick the box” note are dark red (contrast 6:1 instead of 2.2:1); the orange field border stays.
• Changed: The text on the booking button is white or dark, whichever is easier to read on the button color of the site (also on hover).
• Changed: “Company” is a normal field with its label above it instead of a collapsed line. The second street line has an accessible name (“Additional address line”) for screen readers.
• Changed: The “Notes” field is open from the start. A hint between its heading and the field says what belongs there (invoicing instructions for a company, a special parking situation); the field itself starts empty.
• Changed: When a Reply-To address is set, the booking confirmation to the customer ends with an invitation to reply by email if an important detail is missing.
• Developer: The action “sbuy_add_google_calendar_event” passes the postcode as a seventh argument.
• Changed: The license is stated the same way everywhere: GPLv3 or later (plugin header, readme, LICENSE.txt).

1.4.1

• Fixed: The daily log cleanup never deleted anything. The table name was passed to the database as a text value instead of a table name, so every run failed with a syntax error and the log table kept growing.

1.4.0

• IMPORTANT: Products now have their own permissions. Editors and authors can no longer create, edit or delete products, and can no longer manage product categories and tags. Give those people the “SimplyBuy Manager” role if they should keep access.
• Changed: the “SimplyBuy Manager” role no longer holds WordPress’ general “manage_options” permission. It can now use every SimplyBuy screen — settings, bookings, products, categories and tags, price adjustment, starter products, review requests — and nothing else. WordPress settings, other plugins, posts and pages are out of reach, including by typing the address directly.
• Changed: the Branding tab is now visible and editable for administrators only. Enabling branding unlocks the Pro features for the whole shop, so it is not a manager’s decision.
• New: the role is created and repaired automatically after an update, on every site of a multisite network where the plugin is active. Previously it only existed where the plugin happened to be activated after the role was introduced.
• Fixed: users on the old “sb_manager” role, left behind when the plugin renamed its prefix, are moved to “SimplyBuy Manager” instead of quietly losing all access.
• Fixed: uninstalling only removed the role from one site of a multisite network.
• Fixed: the branding switch checked a security token but no permission at all.
• Fixed: the settings and bookings screens relied on the menu permission alone and had no check of their own.
• New: Complete labels for the product type. The admin bar and the list table said “View Posts” and “Search Posts” on the products screen.
• Changed: A SimplyBuy Manager no longer sees other plugins’ admin notices or their filters in the product list. Those regularly linked to screens the role cannot open.
• Fixed: Four strings that had no German translation are now translated.
• Fixed: The form of address in the German translations was mixed — fourteen strings used the wrong one for their catalog.
• For developers: new filters sbuy/admin_capability, sbuy/manager_capabilities and sbuy/manager_allowed_screens.

1.3.19

• IMPORTANT: Order links that have already been sent out become invalid with this update and need to be created again.
• Security: Order links are now created individually, expire after 14 days, can only be used once and can be revoked.
• Security: Fixed the permission check in the dashboard.
• New: Quick booking link — price, ticket number and notes are
  filled in beforehand, the customer only picks a date and time.
• Fixed: Bookings with an invalid date were accepted and ended up
  in the calendar with a wrong date. This affected visitors who
  viewed the site with the browser’s page translation.
• Fixed: The daily booking limit had no effect — days could be
  overbooked.
• Fixed: If an error occurred while booking, the loading indicator
  kept spinning without any message to the customer.
• Fixed: The price from an order link was calculated incorrectly.
• Improved: Single-column checkout, jumps to the first missing field.
• Improved: Corrected the floor labels.

1.3.18

• Fixed: Review request emails were never scheduled because the booking confirmation hook was unreachable
• Changed: Review request delay now counts from the end of the booked time slot instead of the booking time
• Changed: Default review request delay is now one day after the appointment
• Added: Review requests are skipped and logged when the appointment date is invalid

1.3.17

• Fixed: An invalid customer email address no longer prevents the admin booking notification from being sent
• Fixed: Duplicate “Ground floor” entry in the floor dropdown
• Fixed: Missing space between label and value on surcharge and total price lines in booking emails
• Fixed: Typo in the English string “Celler”, now “Cellar”
• Added: Email typo hint on the checkout form — suggests a correction for common misspellings and applies it on click
• Added: Notice in the admin booking email when the customer confirmation could not be delivered
• Improved: Booking confirmation emails are now grouped into labeled blocks for better readability
• Improved: Admin and customer emails are logged separately
