Full
change log
The two new plugins allow you to integrate with HikaShop user points (a user custom field with the name "user_points") and AlphaUserPoints.
You can generate serials which will contain a point value. The value can be fixed or can depend on the product price which is the source of the serial generation.
The point value is used by the second plugin, the "points consumer". When a user will consume a serial which include points, his points account (HikaShop or AlphaUserPoints) will be credit.
So with HikaSerial 1.8.0, you can now send a newsletter including a serial which will give points to the customer.
You can create "gift cards" which won't be just a coupon but some points that the final customer will be able to use in several times.
In HikaSerial 1.8.0, you can also generate a lot of serial directly in HikaSerial and then, export them into a CSV or XLS file.
The export popup will ask you which elements you want to export and will use your current filters to know which serials you want to export.
All the interfaces in HikaSerial 1.8.0 have been improved. Not more input box where you will enter a "discount id", you have now "selector" which will help you and guide you during the HikaSerial configuration.
We also add new columns in the plugin listing and a lot of little modification to make the HikaSerial interface easier and better.
See the
documentation of the "AttachSerial" plugin
with an example of configuration.
