July Update

I have been toying with the idea of changing the site around but given all the search results would be lost it’s best just to keep it the same.  The design works well enough as it is but it may need some tinkering if we get many more products.  That being said I have fixed and added a few things that were on the to do list.

  1. Fixed variation images not showing when you try to magnify on them.  This looks like a theme issue, now when you click the image it will open out to a new lightbox image whcih you can also expand too.  Better this way.
  2. Added a new 55cm pot trolley rubber mat.  I got asked for one of these previously and was not able to help but I figured I should complete the set out.  I should say rubber is not cheap and the 55cm uses a fair bit of it.  It’s also designed that if you want you can buy a 55 and 34 mat to cover the base of a 55cm trolley completely (if thats a need)
  3. Added a little filler product in the rectangle drip tray.  I got some of these as we were designing a drip tray for the 34cm trolley and have it slide in and out.  It did not work out as well as I would have hoped but the tray itsef is actually quite a sturdy little thing.  These are made in Malaysia too (not mainland imported)
  4. The big back end change is we have moved the Alcast server over to Shinjiru in Malaysia.  I was having some difficulties with the server that was hosted in Australia (VentraIP) In the past they were OK but I have found the site slowing down.  I have also had trouble buying from them (domains, renewals, etc) as I am frequently at the foundry in Malaysia I come up a a potential fraud case, so better I just move on.
  5. Also fixed up the problems of the checkout quantity selector being offset, this was a simple problem in the end where the page builder Elementor was mucking up Woocommerce so I needed to remove it and use the native tools only.
  6. Added the 2 other colour options to the square pot trolley (grey and anodised)
  7. Added our cast aluminium strainer as a product.  This was a part that was commonly sold together with our muff couplings but have died of for no apparent reason so maybe I need to promote them a bit more.
