webshop.stack Version 1.3.0 of the Webshop.stack was released on 7 October 2025

Changes, additions and improvements:

- Fixed: Sanitizing an entered email address.

- Fixed: Decoding URL data with raw to retain '+'-signs in keys.

- Fixed: Clicking on the blue shopping cart button on the Catalog-page did nothing, in some cases.

- Changed: Search fields in the 'backoffice' apps are now of type 'search'.

- Added: Generate a canonical URL on the product page to be indexed by Google

- Fixed: Trim spaces, tabs or new lines from copied/pasted email-address, serial number, PSS- and database host fields.

- Added: Sort descending is implemented. The active sort-button shows the current sort order. Clicking again, reverses the sort order.

- Added: A 'No taxes'-checkbox to the stack's main 'Cart'-settings. By checking this option, all tax-caculations will be calculated agains 0%, no tax related texts and or tax-summaries will be shown or passed to the payment methods.

- Fixed: Discounts and Costs formatting and calculation. Sometimes these were calculated and/or formatted incorrectly

- Fixed: '%i' placeholder for Discounts and Costs now works with all types.

- Fixed: Total amount less or equal zero before the 'Payment Provider'-section:

  • Choosing a Payment Provider will be skipped.
  • No taxes will be shown.
  • Added text entry 'Place order' in de 'Localization'-substacks.
  • The invoice will show a total amount of zero.

- Fixed: When the price of a product becomes less than zero, because of a huge discount, 0,00 is displayed instead of the negative value.

- Fixed: If the webhook call fails, the error is ignored and not sent to the user.

- Added: If there is an error with sending emails or with the webhook call, the error is logged in the 'notes' field of the stored order. This of course works only when a database is used.

- Fixed: A negative 'Up-to' and 'Sum up-to' of the chosen shipping rule is now set to 0. This could happen with free shipping.

- Changed:

  • The 'EU VAT ID field'-field is now a general VAT ID field, so it can also be used with non-EU countries. Only if the customer's country is an EU-country, the VIES-check will be done, if you ticked that box.
  • Renamed the 'EU VAT ID field'-field to 'VAT/TAX-ID field'.
  • Removed 'EU' or UE' from the localizations for this field.
  • The tooltip has been removed. There is no restriction to EU-only anymore.
  • The subtitle has been changed.

- Changed:

  • The title of 'Local VAT' has been changed into 'Local VAT for digital products', which it is for.
  • The explanation of 'Local VAT for digital products' on the manual page has been updated.

- Added: Five custom fields below the cart's 'Address'-section.

  • Each can be set to Hidden, Show or Required.
  • The labels for these fields, plus a title for the whole block, can be set in the 'Localisation'-substacks.
  • These fields, if used, are passed to the webhook in the array 'customer->custom_fields'.
  • These fields are stored in the table 'ws_orders' as a JSON-array and shown in the app 'WSAORDERS'. The new column is automatically added to the table 'ws_orders'.

- Added: 'Street 2', a second address line.

  • You can change the label in the 'Localisation'-substacks.
  • This new field is automatically added to the table 'ws_orders'.
  • This new field is added to the webhook as 'customer->street2'.

- Changed: The length of Street was 64 characters, while the entry allowed 100 characters. The lengths in the database of both Street and Street 2 are now 100 characters.

- Added: The address data + IP-address to the app 'WSAORDERS'.

- Fixed: Allowed lengths in some fields in the app 'WSAORDERS' were too short or cut off at 55 characters.

- Fixed: App 'WSACOUPONS' was not being published.

- Replaced: When no taxes are applied to certain products, costs, discounts, etc., 'VAT/TAX 0%' would be displayed. This looked the same as the low 0% tax percentage. It is now called 'Not taxed %d', where %d is the amount not being taxed. This text can be found in the 'Localisation'-substacks. If left empty, this text is not displayed.

- Improved: Address-section in the e-mail invoice has been made more compact.

- Added: You can now add your own icon to the address, phone, company and custom fields; to each cart option, cost, discount, shipping-rule, and payment provider. These icons are only shown in the 'Cart'-section on the order-overviews and Cart-options level. If left empty, the icons default to 'fa fa-none' to assure correct alignment with labels with icons.

- Improved: The Cart-section has been split into three sections, because of the added icon-fields.

- Zoomed-in product: When you now click outside of the product-pane, the pane is closed as if you clicked the zoom-out icon.

- Improved: CSS for icons has been improved.

- Improved: You can now use an invoice/order number as coupon code. Check the checkbox 'Invoice number is coupon code' and set a 'Days valid' limit.

- Improved: Coupon code check has been improved.

- Changed: The word 'Specified' is removed from the 'Type' dropdown menu in Costs and Discounts.

Dit beschrijft precies wat er mis is in de ouderenzorg... #ouderenzorg #zorg

Al in 1793 verklaarde Benjamin Rush dat het niet zozeer de ouderdom is als wel de een of andere ziekte die 'in het algemeen de laatste levensdraad doorsnijdt'.

De moderne geneeskunde heeft sinds die tijd het idee dat iemand aan ouderdom sterft doeltreffend de das omgedaan.

Daarvoor in de plaats is een enorm aantal haarfijn gedifferentieerde medische problemen gekomen dat een gestaag groeiend deel van de particuliere en publieke gezondheidsbegrotingen opeist.

Het is wel ironisch dat uitgerekend de geriatrie, waarschijnlijk het minst gerespecteerde medische specialisme, nu het grootste deel van de tijd die een huisarts aan zijn praktijk besteedt in beslag neemt.

De moderne westerse geneeskunde heeft er, paradoxaal genoeg, toe bijgedragen dat er meer gezonde, actieve zeventig- en tachtigjarigen zijn dan ooit tevoren, en tegelijkertijd (hoewel minder leuk en minder zichtbaar, aangezien het merendeel van hen is weggestopt in tehuizen) meer chronisch zieken en bedlegerige oude patiënten dan ooit tevoren.

Zij heeft er tevens voor gezorgd dat degenen die tegenwoordig de meeste kans lopen om magere Hein tegen te komen mensen boven de 60 zijn, terwijl dat vroeger de zuigelingen en kleine kinderen waren (en uiteraard in veel arme landen nog steeds zijn).

Het meest bizarre van alles is nog dat de medische technologie op dit moment kunstmatig bijna elk teken van leven kan bestendigen zonder dat er meer dan de geringste aanwijzing is voor een voortzetting van een zinvol bestaan.

Het ziet ernaar uit dat het eeuwige leven eindelijk bereikt is, maar dan wel op de minst wenselijke manier die je je voor kunt stellen.
