This month has mainly seen many bug fixes and patches added to the platform but a few new additional features have managed to sneak in which could easily be missed if you are not looking for them. Read on to find out more.
Aero Commerce Core updated to Version 0.35.2
Categories and Manufactures now have listing rules allowing granular control over what products will show under that page. you can set multiple rules to chose from such as products that have a certain tag, if they belong to a particular category or manufacturer or if they are in a price list.
You can also have a rule so that the products shown are within a set price range or if they have been published within a chosen date range.

Product Types – Setting Definitions
Last month we highlighted the new Product Types feature that allows you to build templates for similar products across the site. Now this has extended to Categories and Manufacturers as well allowing site admins to create custom fields and settings that can apply chosen categories and manufacturers across the site.
In addition a sort order option has also been added to allow the order these appear in to be set.
