[Rick Wilson]

Here's the Template Changes for 9.0004. These are recommended but only necessary to utilize the new URI features as well as the new Wishlist/Registry feature.

This is all good for the people not using readythemes. Any help like this for readytheme store?

Specifically the wishlist pages. I'm finding that I have to rewrite all the new pages.

Rick, the non-compliance fee prompted me to update last week from 9.0002 to 9.0003. I was just about to update the templates and 9.0004 drops (which is a good thing). I do want to use some of those features so I need to update to 9.0004 ASAP. Do I need to make all of the 9.0003 template changes first and then make the 9.0004 changes?

This is good to know! Now to rollback all those little URI template change updates... oops. I was anxious to try out the new URI management, but they seem to be breaking a lot of things in Suivant (quick view, add to basket, breadcrumbs...), or it's possibly a user implementation error. That being said, it seems that switching from URI Management back to Legacy SEO does not seem to go very well, luckily this is a dev so gives me lots of opportunities to learn what not to do!

Also, ever since the update the admin has been hanging a lot (needing to be forced back to home screen, losing all changes) at the ajax "processing"--could just be me, but maybe worth noting anyway. Otherwise, customer notes, wish list, etc. looks really neat so far! Always impressed with all the new stuff.

Looking forward to the readytheme update/template change docs soon!

Rick, one follow-up. If I come across a template that's not been changed since the 9.X upgrade, will the approach of "Point and Click and Regenerate" work while we manually do the 9.0003 and 9.0004 updates on the others?

The short answer is: It depends. If the template was a NEW template in 9.0 (ie, you had no custom stuff in the template, it was just the generic stock template), then yes, you would be able to just regenerate using point and click. However, if the template contained any custom code, regardless of whether you added all the necessary template changes for 9.0, using point and click to generate will override any custom code you had. Since we save all the previous versions of your template, if you notice there was something custom and you accidentally overwrote it with point and click generate, you can always go back to the previous version(s) of the template.

Just checking to see if the templates changes for the ReadyThemes, Suivant in particular, are ready.
