202626 releases

  1. Rich Showcase for Google Reviews 7.2.1Latest

    • New: Slider and Grid option “Read more opens the reviews in a popup”: the popup lists all reviews, scrolled to the clicked one with its text open.
    • Change: a place connected in several languages shows each review once, in the site language when the place is connected in it, otherwise in the first connection’s language; the dates follow the same language.
    • Improved: reviewers without a photo get a letter avatar, a place without one a storefront icon.
    • Improved: Places page: a place with reviews in several languages asks which one to update; the row shows the new counts and time at once.
    • Improved: a note shows while a place connects on the first step.
    • Improved: the Trust strip sticker wraps on phones instead of cutting its text.
    • Fixed: the rating popup follows the widget’s author name and stars colours; author names are readable on the dark theme, in the popup and in the list.

    • Change: the mouse wheel moves the slider one step per turn, and scrolling down goes to the next reviews.
    • Improved: the slider keeps its cards in place when the window is resized or the phone is rotated.
