Website Forge Web Site Updates 1/21/2007

Sub-accounts
* Permission internals changed. Many revisions.

 

If you are currently beta testing sub-accounts you must recreate permissions.

 

The sub-accounts themselves are there but their permissions need to be recreated. So I advise that you email those UN's making them aware of the change.

 

* Indication of the current sub-account being managed under the Sub-accounts :: Permissions screen.

 

* Section-specific permissions. For an ecommerce module, unfold the Order List section. You will see it's a link unlike all other sections. Click on the link and a popup will appear. For Order List, two permissions have been implemented:
- Can view credit card #
- Can delete orders

 

 Membership module
* Image Uploader for new members (Image fields made functional during the signup process)

 

* Next Allowed Package parameter of a package. Allows you to specified chains/sequences of allowed Package transitions. Say if you have two packages: Free and Paid, you can setup Next Allowed Packages for both=Paid. In which case once the trial period is over (Free package expires), the members can't select the Free package again. They will be forced to pick Paid package.

 

* Click to Send Email feature for member list allows you to submit a message using a Feedback frame to a certain members.

 

 Ecommerce module
* Add to Cart from Wish List (similar to Gift List)

 

* Custom labeling of payment types (Example if you only accept Paypal, then you can rename that payment type to “Credit Card” since Paypal will allow anyone to pay you with a credit card even without a paypal account. Some people are getting scared away thinking they cant buy because they don't have a paypal account)

 

 Item List frame type
* Multi-buy Mode option for List layout type so you can enter quantities for multiple items and hit the ADD TO CART or BUY button only one time.

Thank you Brian

No. We actually just added this feature for a food wholesaler.

 

Imagine a mass buyer. He needs to order 100 products of different quantities.

 

He can click the "Cereal" category and see a nice list of cereals and in the right hand column a QTY field.

 

He can quickly enter the quantity of EACH cerial brand he wants then click ADD TO CART just one time. All the items he entered a quantity for will be added to the shopping cart at once.

 

It's much faster than clicking ADD TO CART once per product.

 

Does this make better sense?

I just added another upgrade I overlooked in this original BLOG post. Take a look at "Custom Label for Payment Types".

 

Some Website Forge customers only accept paypal and feel that some novice internet consumers that do not have paypal accounts will assume that they are required to have a paypal account to make a purchase. Paypal started accepting payments via credit card without forcing the buyer to create a PayPal account.

 

This custom label will allow you to rename "PayPal" to "Credit Card" and entice buyers to purchase anyways.

Any word on when the sub-account login from the "Home" site rather than from WF will be ready?

 

Thanks Guys,

Brent,

 

This was added like 2-3 weeks ago. Under Basic Frames, the bottom most one is Login Area (I think I will have it renamed to WF Login Panel).

Brent
