Announcing the release of v1.6 of our OpenCart integration. This one took some time as OpenCart had some major changes starting with version 2.2.0.0. We also wanted to incorporate all of the latest features that we have been releasing this year as part of v3.6 (version history).

So now you can enjoy multi-row 3D product views, Google Analytics integration, new styling with svg skins, new hotspot modes and various other improvements and fixes. This also allowed us to take some time to polish up our admin dashboard to look good and consistent with the rest of the OpenCart admin eco-system.

Folder structure of the module was re-worked to comply with the new OpenCart guidelines, so if you are on OpenCart 2.2.0.0 or 2.3.x and upgrading from the previous version of the webrotate plugin, it's best to remove the old plugin files first and then re-install using the new download links.

To remove old plugin files, please delete these files and folders fist:

• admin\controller\module\wr360
• admin\controller\module\webrotate360.php
• admin\model\catalog\webrotate360.php
• admin\view\template\module\webrotate360.tpl
• admin\language\english\module\webrotate360.php
• catalog\controller\module\wr360

You will also have to delete this webrotate vQmod file as it has changed as well:

• vqmod_webrotate360_header.xml

Good news is that the database structure hasn't changed, so all your existing 360 product view configurations will remain intact and will still work with the latest version of the core 360 product viewer.

We now also have a dedicated page for the OpenCart plugin where you can find the latest downloads and instructions as well as the version history:

WebRotate 360 Product Viewer Integration for OpenCart

If you have any issues with the installation or upgrade, please let us know.

Happy to announce that the first version of WebRotate 360 Product Viewer for Shopify has been released.

This time it's a full blown web application that neatly hooks into your Shopify dashboard while providing all latest features we released so far in v3.6. It's quite flexible too and should work with pretty much any Shopify theme or fine-tuned further by a Shopfiy theme developer as needed. And it's free!

Note that Shopify doesn't allow uploading folders to their file hosting yet which is required for WebRotate 360 and 3D product views to operate, so a separate hosting account is necessary. You may use any existing FTP account, setup an Amazon S3 account, etc.

v3.6 Release Candidate is now available for download! It includes a long list of improvements, new features and fixes that you can review here. These changes and updates were mostly driven by the work we have done on our new website in the last 6 months.

It could have been the final v3.6 release, but we still have to update the user guide and the info tooltips inside SpotEditor and it takes somes time.. Otherwise, it's a solid release that we recommend to all our users.

There're two major additions that most users will notice:

1. Vector SVG images are now used across all of viewer resources (no more raster graphics!). This ensures that your viewer skins and hotspots look sharp on any device. We also completely restyled two existing skins (thin and round) to look modern and usable with a greater variety of website designs out there. Also, all of the skins finally have the row navigation buttons for your multi-row 3D product views.

2. There's a new "shortcode" integration mode and publishing template which removes the viewer script snippets from your pages completely. This can drammatically simplify your website integration with various CMS platforms, especially when there're multiple 360 product views on the same page. Documentation is still in the works but you can simply select Shortcode template on the Publish form in SpotEditor and see it in action.

If you are a developer, this release adds a good number of API improvements, giving you more options for major viewer customizations. All new APIs are listed in the JavaScript template that you can select on publish in SpotEditor (and then explore the source html for additional bits and pieces as needed). Not to mentioned the long awaited support for jQuery 3.0!
