  • Fixed: TT4654: Add new product styles and adjust existing styles. Page style 8-PAAM_1 has a problem with the minicart because the breadcrumbs is nested in a couple of container divs that hasn't finished rendering yet, so the browser will have difficulty doing the insert statement.

And they should be positioned correctly next to each other.
  • Fixed: TT4406 small medium and large if statements needed on page, product and website theme. Import Wizard was calling the wrong method to obtain a newly created department's parent department. This resulted in incorrect product image sizes.
  • Fixed: TT3000 Incorrectly creating more details pages. The syntax change from <sfm_ to <sf:macro has caused this problem to reoccur.
    The code was looking for <sfm_QntyAndIcons> but the productloop style template
