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.
This release is primarily to address performance problems we have been experiencing intermittently in the early morning hours SLT.
 
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.

  • WEB-4260: Performance work to improve the early morning delivery success rate

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
