PolyCMS CE v1.2.0

Version v1.2.0 introduces comprehensive multi-language integration, robust localization routing, optimizations across core modules, and polished theme styling.

🚀 Key Updates & Features

1. Comprehensive Multi-Language Site Integration & Smart Routing

• Localization Routing Engine: Upgraded the LanguageRoutingMiddleware to support empty-base categories and single-segment path resolutions (e.g., /vi/modules-extensions redirects dynamically to the translated Category page /vi/mo-dun-tien-ich-mo-rong).
• Post Tag Localization: Enhanced tag resolving to correctly query localized models from post_tags instead of standard tags.
• Dynamic Admin Selectors: Upgraded the category and tag selectors in the admin panels (CategorySelector.vue, TagSelector.vue) to dynamically load and bind attributes based on the active post's locale, resolving reactive reloading bugs during editing.
• Translatable Models API: Added locale and translation group ID filters to Post, Product, and PostTag controllers to return clean, localized datasets for multi-language frontends.

2. Theme & Layout Adjustments

• Flexidocs Theme:
  • Code Blocks Hilite: Redesigned syntax highlighting blocks (pre codehilite) to look cleaner by removing the obsolete blue left border.
  • Mobile Scroll Controls: Centered the floating scroll-to-top/bottom utility buttons vertically on mobile viewports, resolving viewport clipping.
• Flexiwhite Theme: Refined listing card layouts and metadata displays for improved mobile responsiveness.

• Seamless Authentication: Driven by secure AJAX requests, handling Laravel Sanctum SPA tokens and traditional web sessions seamlessly.

2. Custom Purchase Channels Support

🛠️ Improvements & Bug Fixes

1. Theme Styles & Dark Mode Enhancements (FlexiWhite & FlexiMyTa)

• Text Contrast Fix: Removed inline hardcoded text colors on titles, rating details, and labels, ensuring absolute legibility across Light and Dark modes.
• Unified Accent Palette: Replaced hardcoded purple/indigo accents with FlexiWhite brand blue variables (var(--primary) and var(--primary-rgb)) on variant borders, active tab indicators, and buttons.
• Icon Rendering: Included FontAwesome stylesheet to restore missing star ratings, thumbnail chevrons, checkmarks, and cart icons.

2. Tab Interactivity & Smooth Scrolling

• Isolated FAQ Accordion Logic: Self-contained accordion toggles in the FAQ tabs, resolving JS conflicts when loading the FlexiMyTa subtheme on top of different parent themes like FlexiWhite.
• Smooth Auto-Scroll: Restored smooth scroll-to-top transitions when users click and switch between the main product description tabs.

3. Redesigned Project Releases Section

• Streamlined the Related Project Releases container by swapping heavy cards for a clean, readable list of links that open in a new tab (target="_blank") and style beautifully in dark mode.
