TOWeb V13 changes

• Stripe payment method has been updated to support other payments via international platforms such as PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay as well as some specific to certain countries like for instance as Twint (Switzerland), Cash App (USA), MobilePay (Denmark and Finland), PayNow (Singapore), Konbini (Japan) and Pix & Boleto (Brazil). These platforms can be added from the list located in the "Mode" tab of your Stripe payment by selecting them one by one while holding down the CTRL key.
  If you were already using Stripe on your site and want to update it on your site, you will first need to delete Stripe from your site's payment methods before adding it again using version 13.11.
  Some payment gateways (such as Apple Pay and Google Pay) may require additional subscriptions to your Stripe account. If you use them without having subscribed, you will see an error on your site such as "Error: Invalid payment method types" instead of the Stripe payment button. For more information on their terms of use, contact Stripe.
• In "File > Versioning", right-clicking on a version in the list now allows you to select and display the different possible actions for faster access than via the buttons on the right of the screen
• On some sites, the terms of sale page could end with the banner and button "Obtain the legal documents of your website" normally only visible in TOWeb design mode
• Missing translations for some texts in the TOWeb interface (only for languages other than English)

• Added links to WebLegalAI in various locations in TOWeb, such as at the bottom of your site's terms of use page and the cookies & privacy screen, to facilitate the integration of your legal documents into your sites (the terms of use page being the minimum legal requirement)
• The VAT rate can now be generated in CSV and XML files when exporting catalog products from an e-commerce site
• On smartphones and mobile devices, "Range" type fields in forms did not display the new value when changed
• Certain VAT options and coupon end dates could sometimes not be retained after being modified
• Removal of local "file://" links that could be coded in topics saved as PDF files
• Cancelling a "File > Restore" operation could cause the buttons at the bottom of the screen to disappear
• Fixed incorrect display colors in certain controls of the interface, such as in the tax drop-down list at the product level of catalog products
• The scroll bar for a site's optimizations list was not always visible or accessible depending on the height of the application
• Following the permanent closure of Skype by Microsoft on May 5, 2024, all management related to Skype has been removed form TOWeb including its use in websites generated
• Fixes of certain texts in the UI that were systematically displayed in English instead of the TOWeb user interface language, such as those relating to Mailzy in the "Publish > Inform your contacts" screen.

• A new option located in "Options > Search Field" now allows catalog product images to be displayed in larger sizes in the page of results
• A new option located in "e-Commerce > Related Products" now allows related product images to be displayed in larger sizes
• After a successful PayPal payment, the site could sometimes incorrectly display an error code #0. It is recommended to entirely republish your e-commerce site after installing this update (instead of simply publishing the changes)
• In the "E-Commerce > Shipments" screen, the first delivery method selected by default did not have its information updated in the fields located aside. Additionally, clicking a second time on a previously selected delivery mode would cause its information to disappear
• A "Warning undefined key" message could sometimes be displayed on the Back Office Orders page of an e-commerce site
• In the "Options > Search Field" screen, the labels of certain options appeared in English and not in the user interface language defined

• In some sites, sending email via SMTP might not work for their web forms as well as for e-commerce orders. To correct this problem, a complete republish of the site is necessary (and not just the changes) after installing this update, but, in case  this is not enough, you may need to first delete the site on your web space from the "Publish" step before republishing it completely
• Fixed instability of the TOWeb interface in the "Topics" step where certain actions (such as clicking on an image containing a link) could cause display problems and/or interface blockages
• The limit of search result to display for the catalogs' search engine was not always saved after being modified
• Depending on the language of the site, the words could all be underlined in red while they did not contain spelling mistakes when editing the content of paragraphs (titles and texts)
• In certain circumstances, modifications to the coupons of an e-Commerce site could not be saved (such as the start and end dates of validity of the coupons for instance)
• Under Windows 10 and 11, the the TOWeb preview window displayed in the Windows taskbar appeared completely black. In addition, when using a Studio edition with multiple instances, the TOWeb windows once set as an icon no longer reopened with a single click
• Depending on certain Windows 10/11 activation or configurations, creating a new site might not work but display an error message "please enter a valid email address" instead
• Pressing the CTRL key at the same time as clicking on an add image button in order to select and reuse an image already existing in the site no longer worked when the WebP option was enabled on a site
• The "CSS Editor" and "Explore Themes" buttons could no longer be displayed and the content of a page preview could appear as empty in the "Theme" step when returning to this step and/or after changing the TOWeb interface to dark or light mode

• Ability to test external links that you have placed in your site by clicking on the link while holding down the SHIFT key. This new feature allows you to directly open a link in your web browser to check that the URL you have entered opens the right page and that this page/website still exists (especially if your link was created a long time ago) 
• When a product is no longer available in stock, its "Add" button now reuses the CSS styles defined in "Site > General > Buttons > Disabled button" to allow you to customize the color and presentation of inactive "Add" button on your e-Commerce website
• Correction of an instability of TOWeb previously introduced by version 13.03 which, after saving the modifications, could sometimes randomly no longer open correctly certain windows (such as the link window) by placing them in the background, thus causing a blocking of the use of TOWeb with not visible and not accessible window and/or causing display bugs in the user interface
• Adding an email address or an IP address to the blacklists (accessible from "e-Commerce > Backoffice") could cause a crash of TOWeb
• Strengthened verification of certain e-Commerce parameters for which TOWeb could allow the entry of incorrect values
• Minor corrections to certain TOWeb screens in which texts could appear incomplete and certain buttons not correctly positioned

• New WebP option in the "Publish > Performance" step allowing a site to keep images in WebP format only (and therefore no more images in other formats such as JPEG, PNG or others) in order to significantly reduce the total size of the site and therefore reduce publication times but also improve page loading times and therefore SEO in Google
• New progress bar at the top of the screen appears and disappears automatically to show the progress status of blocking treatments that can sometimes be long, such as when switching a site to full webp or when saving important changes to  site
• The opening of the "Publish" screen no longer systematically calls the site optimization function but only when necessary
• Some texts could be incorrectly displayed/overlaid when opening the screens of certain options of the site optimizer
• Some access paths could have been incorrect in the .htaccess files of a site when published in a subdomain

• The "index.html" (or "index.php") file name of your home page no longer appears anywhere but only the main URL of your site. Whether in the "sitemap.xml" file or in the internal links of your pages (in particular those present on the logo and in the main menu of your site), the address of your home page thus shortened will improve the SEO of your site with more coherence for Google and will allow you to be able to change the extension of your home page to .html or .php if necessary without this having the slightest impact on search engines
• Deleting a catalog item did not work when done from the new button in the toolbar appearing on hover
• On certain configurations, creating a new site was impossible with the "Start with this template" button not performing any action
• The presence of an apostrophe character in the title field of a link caused errors and malfunctions that could go as far as completely blocking TOWeb
• On some Mac OS X configurations, publishing could no longer work as well as the site preview in the default browser defined in the system
  
• The export catalog function did not work in the "e-Commerce > Products" screen but only from a catalog in the "Topics" step
• Some texts in contextual menus of the TOWeb interface could appear in English while TOWeb was used in German, Spanish, French, Italian or Portuguese

• Corrections of  "paste" issues in text or html format that could occur following "copy" performed from certain applications like Microsoft Word 2021 or Microsoft 365.
  Important : if you do not want the "copy/paste" in your paragraphs to keep any format (bold, underline, links, ...) but directly copy in "pure text format", you need to use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + V instead of CTRL + V
• When a catalog product had sub-products, its edit, delete and copy buttons for a category did not work (i.e. no action)
• The "File > Versioning" function could not work on certain computer configurations
• On e-Commerce sites using real-time stock, an ERR_SNE error could appear after the order validation step
• The list of sites could appear empty in the "File > TOWeb Portable" screen
• CSS style changes to catalog images was not taken into account when the WebP option was enabled
• On e-Commerce sites, the order confirmation email could contain html tags (only if sending by php mail but not by SMTP)
• In order to avoid any involuntary deletion error, uninstalling TOWeb no longer ask the question nor confirmation to delete the data of your websites. If you uninstall TOWeb and also want to delete all data of your sites (located in "\My Documents\TOWeb Sites") you will have to do this manually.
  Important : Deleting your sites' data on your disk means that you will no longer be able to modify/publish them later, unless you have previously made and kept backups of your sites (on a USB key for example) via the "File > Save" function of TOWeb
• The titles and texts of the images in the Theme Slider could be temporarily grayed out and not editable after using the "More" link located in the simplified CSS editor screen
• The label of the checkbox in the sub-product management window was only very partially visible and therefore not readable
• Update of a deprecated meta tag for Apple mobile devices
