Release Notes for Current Marketplace Release

Released November 30, 2011
This release fixes some outstanding issues from the September release of Marketplace, as well as adding some new functionality. The merchant admin inventory management counts, filters, and search functionality have all been fixed. In addition, inventory items not associated with a listing have been separated out into an inventory only section--and we have added User Licensed as a permissions option.

The final feature that has been added is a minimum account age for becoming a merchant. An account must be at least 5 days old to create a store (become a Merchant) on the Marketplace.

See below for more details.

Fixes

  • Merchant Admin Inventory Management fixes to counts, filters, and search functionality
    • WEB-4150 Unlisted and unavailable incorrect.
    • WEB-4152 Fewer listings are shown per page than pagination settings should display.
    • WEB-4215 Manage inventory product count does not match actual listing count.
  • Searching by SKU code now works immediately after codes are updated (in the past, there was a delay before this was searchable).
  • In Merchant Admin, Merchants will now be able to view inventory and listings separately in Manage Inventory. See the Knowledge Base for more details.
  • User Licensed (for Merchants who sell full perm items and the buyer is required to abide by a user licensing agreement) is now an option for permissions on listings. Merchants will be responsible for providing the licensing terms on the listing.
  • Resident accounts must have a minimum age of 5 days to create a store (become a Merchant).

Release Notes for October 18, 2011 Release

Merchant Facing Fixes

  • Maturity bug fixes for Marketplace RSS feeds

Details: The following RSS feeds are available:

The easiest way to create a feed URL is to search on the Marketplace for what you would like to create a feed for. Copy the resulting URL and then replace "products" with "feeds". (This works with Items search only.)
Possible search parameters are:

  • search[category_id] (this id can be obtained by clicking on a category and pulling out the value in the URL on the Marketplace web site)
  • search[maturity_level] (options are: G, GM, GMA, A)
  • search[keywords] (keyword to search for)

If the user who is pulling the RSS feed is not logged into the Marketplace, only G (General) products are available. Here is a sample URL: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/feeds/search?search[category_id]=222&search[maturity_level]=GM&search[keywords]=silk
