Mirasvit Last Updates — February 2025

The second month of the year is behind us, and we’re ready to share the latest improvements our team has made to enhance our products. In February, we updated over ten modules, providing you with new tools to optimize your online store’s performance.

For example, in Advanced Product Feeds, we added 40+ new marketplace templates, updated filter validation, and improved support for key product parameters in feeds. Additionally, the module now runs on Laminas, ensuring greater stability and compatibility.

In Advanced SEO Suite, we introduced flexible breadcrumb configuration and automatic exclusion of redirect URLs from the sitemap, improving navigation and SEO.

Meanwhile, in Layered Navigation, you can now better control the indexing of filtered pages, helping to reduce duplicate content.

Let’s take a closer look at these and other updates, as well as how to apply them.

Advanced Product Feeds

The Advanced Product Feeds module led the February updates.

🔥 40+ new ready-to-use feed templates for marketplaces

Our developers have added 40+ new preconfigured feed templates for popular marketplaces. This update saves you time by eliminating the need to create feeds from scratch while also reducing the risk of errors—each template is already optimized for marketplace requirements.

To use this feature, go to Catalog > Advanced Product Feeds > Feeds > Add New Feed. Select the desired template (e.g., Google Shopping, TikTok, Instagram), adjust the parameters if needed, and click Save and Generate.

🔥 Consistent validation for filter previews and feed generation

Filter previews now use the same validation as feed generation (previously, they had separate validation), ensuring more accurate results and preventing selection errors. This means that the products displayed in the preview will match those in the final feed.

Accurate exports and proper filtering ensure that only relevant products appear on marketplaces, eliminating missing or extra items.

To use this feature, go to Catalog > Advanced Product Feeds > Filters, select or create a filter, and use Preview to verify which products will be included in the feed.

🔥 Include minimum order quantity and quantity increments in product feeds

Previously, product feeds did not support displaying the minimum order quantity (Minimum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart) or quantity increments (Qty Increments), making integration with marketplaces that require these parameters more difficult.

You can now include these values in feed templates using the following variables:

• {{ product.min_sale_qty }} — Minimum quantity required for purchase.
• {{ product.qty_increments }} — Quantity increment step.

This improvement ensures more accurate XML/CSV feeds, making them better suited for marketplace requirements.

To configure this feature, go to Catalog > Advanced Product Feeds > Feeds, open or create a feed template, and add these variables:

• Minimum Qty Allowed: {{ product.min_sale_qty }}
• Qty Increments: {{ product.qty_increments }}

Save and Generate the feed.

Note: To ensure this feature works correctly, configure the Minimum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart and Qty Increments values in the product settings and include the corresponding variables (product.min_sale_qty, product.qty_increments) in your XML/CSV template.

🔥 Migration from Zend Framework to Laminas for better compatibility

Previously, the module relied on Zend Framework, which is no longer supported. This could lead to compatibility issues with newer Magento versions. For instance, accessing the feed management page (Catalog > Feeds) could trigger an error due to a missing zf1/zend-reflection library.

This issue has now been resolved, as the module has transitioned to Laminas, the official successor to Zend Framework. Starting from Magento 2.3.5, Laminas is included by default, so you only need to update your system to ensure compatibility.

Layered Navigation

🔥 Control indexing for filtered pages with rel=nofollow

The Layered Navigation module now allows you to specify the number of applied filters, determining when links in filters should have the rel=nofollow directive. This instructs search engine bots not to follow these links.

Previously, this parameter could only be enabled or disabled for all filter links, with no customization options. What does this mean for you? You can now limit the number of reindexed pages when filters overlap, helping to prevent duplicate content issues and optimize your SEO budget.

To enable this feature, go to Stores > Configuration > Layered Navigation Filters > SEO Settings > Active filters nofollow threshold.

Advanced SEO Suite

Two updates were introduced in February for the Advanced SEO Suite.

🔥 Exclude SEO redirect URLs from the sitemap

We’ve added a new mechanism that removes redirected URLs from the sitemap. If a request URL redirects to a different target URL, there is no need to include the request URL in the sitemap.

This feature helps reduce unnecessary entries in your sitemap and prevents potential indexing issues caused by redirects.

It works automatically—when generating a new sitemap or regenerating an existing one, it scans request URLs from the configured redirects in the Redirect Manager (Marketing > Redirects) and excludes them.

🔥 Flexible breadcrumb configuration for product pages

You can now customize breadcrumbs in the Advanced SEO Suite module. Breadcrumbs help users navigate your store by displaying their path to the current page, making it easy to return to previous categories or product listings.

Previously, breadcrumbs followed a fixed structure. For example, if the product "Montana Wind Jacket" was in the "Jackets" category, which belongs to "Tops," the breadcrumb path would always appear as Men > Tops > Montana Wind Jacket, which might not be the most intuitive option for navigation. Now, you can configure them to display only Men > Montana Wind Jacket, or another preferred format.

To customize breadcrumb format and conditions, go to Marketing > Settings > Product Breadcrumbs.

AI Assistant

🔥 New support for CMS block fields

In February, our developers added support for fields in CMS Blocks: Content > Elements > Blocks in the AI Assistant module.

Before working with a block field, you need to create a Prompt in System > AI Assistant > Prompts with Scope = CMS Block.

Note that if you are using the Page Builder editor, the AI Assistant button will only be available inside the editor.

Dynamic Categories

Two useful features have been added to the Dynamic Categories extension.

🔥 Improved special price condition for dynamic categories

For the Has active special price smart attribute, our developers have introduced a condition ensuring that the special price is lower than the regular price. This resolves the issue of products with a regular price (previously assigned a special price that later became the default) being included in a dynamic category based on this smart attribute.

As a result, you no longer need to manually go through problematic products and adjust prices, saving time and effort.

The condition is now built into the smart attribute and requires no additional configuration.

🔥 Smart attributes now prioritized in conditions list

Smart attributes will now appear at the top of the Conditions list (previously listed below standard attributes), making them easier to access, use, and configure. This improvement enhances efficiency and increases their visibility.

Elasticsearch Extension

🔥 Excluded spell correction for numeric search terms

A small but highly useful feature has been added to the Elasticsearch Extension—spell correction will no longer apply to search terms containing numeric characters. This prevents irrelevant search results from appearing.

Why is this necessary? When searching by product SKU, for example, an exact match is required. If spell correction is applied, it could generate potentially inaccurate results.

No configuration is needed to enable this feature—simply update the module.

Custom Form Builder

🔥 Bulk delete action for answers

Previously, in the Custom Form Builder module, removing unwanted customer responses required manually selecting and deleting them one by one, leading to unnecessary time waste.

Now, you can select multiple responses at once and delete them in bulk using the Actions > Delete dropdown. The list of answers is available under Content > Form Builder > Answers.

GeoIP Redirect

🔥 New "Storage Lifetime" setting for redirect sessions

Our developers have added a new parameter—Storage Lifetime—to the GeoIP Redirect extension. It applies to sessions and cookies that store information about whether a user has accepted or declined a redirect.

With Storage Lifetime, you can now conveniently set the duration of these sessions and cookies in seconds directly within the module, without needing to modify server settings as before.

To configure this feature, go to Stores > Configuration > GeoIP Redirect > Storage Lifetime.

Help Desk MX

Two new features were introduced in February for the Help Desk MX module.

🔥 Clickable image preview for attachments

Previously, viewing an image in the message history required downloading it, which was often inconvenient. With the new Attachment image preview feature, this issue is resolved.

Now, images appear as previews, and you can click on them to open them in full size within a pop-up. If needed, you can still download an image using a dedicated button.

This feature is enabled automatically after updating the module, with no additional configuration required.

🔥 Quick access to documentation from admin menu

Help Desk settings pages now provide direct links to the documentation.

This improvement makes it easier to navigate to the relevant section whenever you need guidance on a specific configuration.

The feature is applied automatically after updating the module.

Product Finder

🔥 Improved filter logic for dynamic option updates

In February, our developers enhanced the filtering logic in the Product Finder module.

Previously, each subsequent filter became available (not disabled) and received the corresponding set of options only after selecting a value in the previous filter. Now, a non-required filter can remain open, and if the previous filter is not selected, it will dynamically update its options based on the selected value of the next filter.

For example, when searching for the best tires for your car, you might select: width 205 > profile 55 > rim size R16 > load rating 91 > load rating (left empty) > speed rating Y > load rating 94. As a result, the speed rating Y is removed, and only H, V, and W remain, ensuring that unavailable combinations are excluded.

With this update, attribute dependencies are now revalidated, preventing incorrect product selections. This means customers will only see the correct set of available products.

Full Page Cache Warmer

Our specialists have also introduced two improvements for Full Page Cache Warmer.

🔥 Compatibility with NitroPack for automatic cache updates

We have added support for the NitroPack module. It follows the same logic as our extension—tracking changes to product pages, categories, and other pages and automatically updating their cache.

This ensures that your store pages always display the most up-to-date information.

If NitroPack is already installed in your Magento, no additional configuration is required after installing our Cache Warmer—both modules will work together seamlessly.

🔥 Optimized database queries for cache status checks

We have optimized Magento database queries to more accurately determine whether a page is cached. These enhancements have been included in the latest release—simply update the module to apply them.

That wraps up our February updates! We continue to refine our modules, making your work even more efficient and convenient. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact our support team—we value your feedback!
