We’ve updated our system today with several improvements that were requested by our users. Among other things, we’ve made it easier to use the wish lists in Kitely Market, and to add Demo items to Kitely Market product listings.<\/p>\n

Improved Wish List Usability
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s now easier to\u00a0buy items that are in your Wish List.\u00a0The Wish List contains a “Buy” link next to each item. Previously, clicking this link would switch to the Shopping Cart, where the item would appear. This made it cumbersome to add multiple items from your Wish List to the Shopping Cart, because you’d have to flip back and forth between these two pages for each item.<\/p>\n

Now, clicking “Buy” adds the selected item to the Shopping Cart but doesn’t switch to the Shopping Cart page. This makes it much faster to buy multiple items from the Wish List.<\/p>\n

Simplified Demos Creation
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kitely Market has built-in support for adding Demos to product listings. Previously this feature\u00a0required a lot of work from content creators, because they had to create a Demo item for each of the product’s variations. Products in Kitely Market often have many variations, so this quickly became tedious. It was also mostly unnecessary, since usually a product only needs one Demo, regardless of how many variations it has. For example, even if a dress is available in 8 colors, it’s often enough to provide a demo in only one color.<\/p>\n

To address this issue, we’ve now changed Kitely Market so that if a product has\u00a0any<\/strong> Demo, in any\u00a0of its variations, then that Demo can be used by\u00a0all<\/strong>\u00a0of the variations. This eliminates the need to create multiple Demos for the product.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can still create\u00a0individual Demos per variation if you want. Each variation uses\u00a0the following Demo, in order of preference:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The variation’s own<\/strong> Demo.<\/li>\n
  2. If that doesn’t exist: a Demo from the nearest previous\u00a0<\/strong>variation in the Variations table.<\/li>\n
  3. If that doesn’t exist either: a Demo from the nearest\u00a0succeeding<\/strong> variation in the Variations table.<\/li>\n
  4. If none of the above exist then the product has no\u00a0Demo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Removed Warnings for Standard OpenSim Assets<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Kitely Market has built-in tools for finding and fixing problems in products<\/a>. When content creators add a product to Kitely Market, we check their product and show warnings if it contains references to non-existing assets. However, sometimes these references are for standard predefined OpenSim asset identifiers. These predefined identifiers aren’t regular assets, but they’re not missing, and therefore shouldn’t cause our system to display warnings.\u00a0We maintain a list of such assets, and we’ve now added several\u00a0additional asset identifiers to that list to eliminate a few incorrect\u00a0warnings that our system had previously displayed.<\/p>\n

    Enabled OSSL Functions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We’ve enabled the following OSSL functions for use by everyone. Previously they were only enabled for the world owner, but this was too restrictive:<\/p>\n
