Flyout Updates

We have just released Flyout 4.055 today. It is now out of Beta.

It is compatible with all of our template modules including Storefront Template (it was not in the beta release). I have completely re-worked the token processing in the module. All tokens in all template modules are now supported. For example, consider a case where you are using Storefront template to display a random image. You can now using the following:

%module|LC_FLYOUT| %random|thumbL|01|% |%
%module|LC_FLYOUT| %random|thumbL|02|% |%
…

You can do even more complex things with the tokens supported in other template modules. Consider the case where you want to display a the first 100 characters of a product’s description in your category template, then have a customer mouse over the description to see the entire description with Flyout. You can do the following:

%module|LC_FLYOUT| %var1|substring(Products.d.desc, 1, 100)|% |%

Any token supported by the template module should now work in any Product template for Storefront Template, Category Page Templates, Product Page Templates (you’d probably only want to use it in the Related products template), Other Page Templates and Search Manager.

Also, Merchant 5 store owners - do not fear. We will be releasing a 5.x version of this module over the coming weeks!
