What Webal Phoca Pages has not been tested with, what it cannot know, and what comes from Phoca Cart itself.

Tested with

  • Joomla 6.2, Phoca Cart 6.1.9, PHP 8.4 (it needs PHP 8.3 or later), the Cassiopeia template and a child template of it.
  • The Chrome browser, at widths from 320 to 2560 pixels.

On a newer Phoca Cart version, product pages keep working and the checks say the version is new to Webal Phoca Pages (see Checks and publishing).

Not tested yet

  • Other templates than Cassiopeia, and child templates that change Cassiopeia's page frame (for example its "Back to top" link or its scrolling).
  • Browsers other than Chrome, and older browsers. Some newer features have a fallback: for example, the larger view of the gallery closes on a click outside it in every browser.
  • Real phones (iOS Safari and Android Chrome), a screen reader, and Windows' high contrast themes: checks by a person, still to do.
  • Languages written right to left: checked in tests by switching the page to right to left, but no right-to-left language was installed on the test shop.

What it cannot know

  • A module position or plugin area is known to be empty only once the page is printed, so a column holding only empty positions is left as an empty box, which takes no space.
  • An SVG picture has no size it can read, so a product picture in SVG may still move the page while it loads.
  • A Phoca Cart plugin that prints its own gallery replaces the whole gallery, as on Phoca's own page.
  • A Phoca Cart plugin that changes the picture viewer while the page prints is not seen by the note about "Image Popup Method", which follows Phoca Cart's Option.
  • The builder's preview does not follow links, so the larger view of the gallery and the small picture links are tried on the shop itself.
  • After a visitor chooses an option with its own picture, the first small picture of the Webal gallery keeps the product's own picture.

From Phoca Cart itself

These come from Phoca Cart 6.1.9 and also show on Phoca's own page:

  • With "Display WebP Images" on, Phoca Cart's own gallery does not show an option's picture in browsers that use WebP. The Webal gallery shows it.
  • Phoca Cart loads its own main picture late and gives its pictures no size, so the page can move while they load. The Webal gallery loads the main picture first and sizes every picture.
  • Phoca Cart checks required options when its Add to cart button is clicked, not when the form is sent another way. The phone bar presses that same button, so the check runs.
