Important Notes
- Use this guide if you're upgrading to Sweet Tooth 1.3 from an earlier version. WDCA also provides an upgrade service for $149.99USD which can be arranged by contacting WDCA.
- Install the Sweet Tooth referral/affiliate extension from Magento connect to gain the referral/affiliate points feature
- On Magento 1.4.*, the catalog points slider does not work because of a change in the way that they do the templates. Instead, use the shopping cart slider and shopping cart rules if you'd like to let the customer choose the number of points they're going to spend. We can't really fix the issue until Magento fixes an issue of their own with the catalog product view page javascript price display not working. We hope this will be resolved in a version after Magento 1.4.0.1.
- New translation entries are available. You'll need to merge them with your existing older translation file. New Translation Entries in 1.3

- NEW EASY DISPLAY CONFIG OPTIONS:

- This is the message that the customer sees when logged in in the summary box. Default is no message (blank). HTML is valid here.
- Show Send Points To A Friend
- Should the customer be given the option to send points to a friend in the customer account panel rewards section?
- Show Mini Redemption Catalog
- Should the mini redemption catalog in the customer account panel rewards section?
- Show Points Optimizer
- Show the 'as low as XXX with YYY points' message for each applicable product in the catalog product view pages? This will only show if you have catalog redemption rules present that apply to a particular product.
- Customer Account Summary Message
- NEW FEATURE: Customize the points summary area message in customer's My Points & Rewards page from the back-end configuration (rather than the templates like before).
- NEW FEATURE: + and - (plus and minus) buttons for points sliders
- ADDED: added numeric > 0 validation for Y value in catalog and shopping cart rules.
- NEW BEHAVIOR: Automatic application of coupon code for points redemption coupons.
- NEW BEHAVIOR: Cart "points" column now hides if no catalog points rules exist in the store
- NEW BEHAVIOR: You no longer need to enter a value for the points currency caption. If you don't enter something in no points currency caption is assumed and "points" and "point" are used.

- Shopping cart points distribution rules no longer display in the cart box (they only show in totals block)
- Rule names no longer show. The new format is "Spend %s, Get %s"
