IMPORTANT NOTE: if you purchased the Pre-Release version of the Ecwid Stacks, just re-download it from your Paddle account. Please uninstall the pre-release version prior to installing the official release of the Ecwid Stacks. The official release stacks includes a legacy store stack to ease the migration to the official release stacks (mainly the settings from the legacy store, which are now part of the customizer stack). They now also have self update functionality from within Rapidweaver, for updates and bug fixes.

Contemplating integrating an Ecwid store with a RW project. Would love to see an overview video.

Hello @Jody,

I’m actually traveling at this time, and not able to do a video. However, please check the following conversation on the Realmac forum. That might help.

The Ecwid Stacks are very easy to implement in any Rapidweaver project. Whether using a regular theme or a framework. After you add the stacks to your page, you can take your time customizing the store. After I’m done with my trip, I can try setting up a webinar.

Here is the link to a discussion that might be helpful to you:

Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

Cheers,

Ricardo

Axyn Ecwid Stacks was just updated today to version 1.0.4

This version includes several improvements and additions in the following stacks:

  • Customizer: added more controls of font size and color in product page
  • Customizer: fixed custom target classes bug introduced in previous version.
  • Search: added color and size customization and minor fixes
  • Font: added more target elements for custom fonts control
  • Font: reworked the settings area to better match customizer layout

If you have v1.0.0 or above already installed in Rapidweaver, just press update under the stacks library. If you only have the pre-release version, please re-download it from your Paddle account.

Please note: the font stack received many improvements and changes, including variable changes. For that reason, if you have already used it in a project, you will have to either, remove the font stack from the previous project OR toggle the “qty” setting under “Product Page” in the “headers” row, see image attached below:

Cheers,

Ricardo

Just about to launch a new site which uses these stacks. I’ve barely customised them at all but the ability to pop them anywhere on a Stacks-based site is brilliant!

Hi Robb,

Also if you used the an older version customizer or font stack in a project, you may have to follow the instructions above, or replace them with fresh new stack .

Hello everyone (@rob.beattie, @Jody)
Version 1.0.7 of Ecwid Stacks are now available, with SEO friendly query based clean URLs, which are now the default when you use the Ecwid Customizer, even if NO options have been selected.

No changes to the project are required, except to republish it, so that the new defaults take effect.

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

Just pushed out version 1.0.8 of Ecwid Stacks. It corrects an issue with RW preview mode with the new SEO friendly query based clean URLs enabler, introduced in v1.0.7. Clean URLs are now the default when you use the Ecwid Customizer, even if NO options have been selected. Just update the stacks from within RW.

Please note that if your already published your site with v1.07, there is no need to republish it. The issue was only in RW preview mode. If you are coming from version prior to 1.0.7, no changes to the project are required, except to republish it, so that the new defaults take effect.

Cheers,

Ricardo

Pushed out version 1.1.0 of Ecwid Stacks. This is another important upgrade to improve the SEO friendliness of the Ecwid Store links. This is an advanced feature that requires editing the .htaccess for the website, to add some “server rewrite rules”. If the advance clean URLs option is selected, warnings and some instructions are displayed when in edit mode.

If you are developing your Ecwid Store for the first time in RW, I suggest that you leave this advanced option unchecked until your website is finished and tested. Once you are satisfied with your site, then try enabling this option, edit the .htaccess file, adding the rewrite rules needs and then republish it. If things don’t seem to work, it may mean that additional custom editing of the .htaccess file is required. In this case, unless you are sure of what you are doing with the server rewrite rules, I suggest that this option be disabled.

Cheers,

Ricardo

Version 1.1.1 of Ecwid Stacks has been pushed out.

  • Improved reliability of clean URLs implementation.
  • Improved and simplified the lines of code to be added to the .htaccess file

Hi @Ricardo,

thanks for the update, I just tried to copy the code to be added to the .htaccess file and I could not copy it.
Rather than rewriting it by hand would it be possible to make it easy to copy that code
thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

I haven’t figured out a way to do that for the stacks when in edit mode. That was my intention all along.
I am still looking into it.
