1.1.0

A reworked pop-up, the collection header as its own section, a rating block, and fixes to the header, product page and cart.

New

• Collection header section: collection title and description blocks, plus text, rich text and buttons; the collection image, height, veil strength, and a color scheme with and without the image. The veil sits behind the words instead of a flat overlay over the whole photograph. See Collection page.
• Pop-up:
  • Display as a window or as a corner panel that leaves the page usable; a bottom sheet on phones; Image position.
  • Opens after a delay, once the page is scrolled, or when the shopper is about to leave; Shown on to choose the pages.
  • Stays closed for the number of days set in Show again after; Show a tab after closing lets the shopper open it again.
  • Discount code block, shown from the start or once the sign-up is taken.
  • A "No thanks" link.
  • The newsletter block has its own Confirmation message and Customer tag.
  • Kept off the cart, account, search and bot-check pages, and waits for the cookie consent banner.
• Rating product block, and Show ratings on product cards in Theme settings > Product, read from the ratings a reviews app stores in Shopify. See Product blocks.
• Link to the collection when sold out in Theme settings > Product, to hide the sold-out "Browse the collection" link.
• The collapsible row takes text, rich text, image and Custom Liquid blocks. See Content blocks.
• Statement: Text size.
• Footer: Show “Powered by Shopify”.
• Gift wrap block: a Text setting for the checkbox's label.

Fixes

• Header:
  • The sticky header keeps one height: it no longer turns compact as the page scrolls. A transparent header is transparent only at the top of the page.
  • A hidden header comes back before a link to a place on the same page is followed, and the place lands just below it.
  • In Safari, the page ends at the footer.
  • The shop name shown in place of a logo stays on one line on small phones.
• Product page:
  • A buy box taller than the screen can be read to its end.
  • The quantity selector disables minus at the minimum and plus at the maximum.
  • The phone image carousel can be reached with the keyboard in Safari without JavaScript.
• Cart:
  • Once shipping is free, the summary says so.
  • The cart's accelerated checkout buttons match the product page's.
• Pop-up:
  • A sign-up from any newsletter form on the store is remembered.
  • The close button stays at the top of a pop-up that scrolls.
  • Closing a corner panel with the keyboard returns the focus to the page.
• Predictive search no longer shows result counts, which were only the number of results loaded.
• The image shared on social networks is served over https.
• In Safari, placeholder images no longer make the page stutter while scrolling.
• Translations reviewed in every language.
