A Falling Hearths effect for Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day (Febrary 14th) is approaching and you want to beautify your website for that event? Well, if you previously used and appreciated the snow effect introduced by TOWeb version 8.06 then you will probably want to give a try to the new falling hearth animation over the content of your pages !
Which PHP version to choose for your site
Version 5 of PHP is no longer maintained since January 1, 2019 which means it has not been updated for more than a year now. Knowing that security flaws are regularly discovered in old versions of PHP, for more security, durability and not leaving your site obsolete or vulnerable, we recommend to use a recent version of PHP (7.2 or 7.3). Regarding the i-services scripts integrated in TOWeb, we also recommend PHP 7 but only with TOWeb V8. If you use an old version of TOWeb, then you will have to keep and stay with your current version of PHP in order for your website to continue working properly.
Version 8.07 is released
This update brings improvements to the CSS editor for multilingual websites as well as several fixes in particular regarding the social buttons, the display of the cookie consent banner and the management of the <head> section of the catalogue products.
Best wishes for 2020
We hope you discovered and enjoyed all the new features of TOWeb V8 coming with more possibilities for your websites still remaining perfectly viewable by all your visitors, whether they use smartphones, tablets or computers.

TOWeb not compatible with Mac OSX Catalina
TOWeb 5, 6, 7 and 8 do not work with Catalina because this latest version 10.15 of the Apple operating system no longer supports 32bits but only 64bits applications. Therefore, if you want to continue using TOWeb and all the other 32bits software installed on your computer, we do not recommend installing Catalina but rescheduling at a later date.
Suspension of Klik&Pay
On July 25, 2019, the Luxembourg-based Financial Sector Supervisory Commission (C.S.S.F.) announced by press release that it has temporarily suspended the Klik&Pay service. The reason for this suspension, still in effect in the last press release of September 17, 2019, is a non-compliance with certain points of the European law on payment services.
Klik & Pay is still supported by TOWeb but as several of our customers have reported payment problems with this provider, we pass on information and invit you to follow the evolution of the situation directly from the site of the C.S.S.F.
