Hi Sitebuilder Customers,

The Development team is currently working on finalizing release 4.13.  They anticipate that it will be available this week.  This update includes the ability to setup user accounts that have access to the site administration areas, the new advanced shipping rules module as well as many other design/system enhancements.


Site Administration Access (NEW)
Use the new site administration access area to setup site administration privileges for users. With the admin accounts setting you can give users access to manage email accounts, view statistics, edit pages, manage images and access store order management features.

Ecommerce: advanced shipping configuration (NEW)
A new advanced shipping configuration module has been added to the system. The new shipping rules allow you to setup when different shipping methods apply to customer orders. You can set which shipping methods are available to customers based on location (shipping country, state, zipcode) as well as order sub total and order weight. New product specific shipping settings allow you to set which products ship in their own box, to set an alternate ship from zipcode, specify a fix product ship cost and specify that a product requires a specific shipping method (ex. product requires overnight shipping).

Design: page/content area backgrounds (NEW)
Use the background link on the design page to select from one of the many system backgrounds or upload your own. The new background support also includes the ability to upload the background for the main content area. NOTE: some layouts do not support the background in the content area. There are also layouts that will not work well with background images.

Design: main design page (UPDATED)
The main design page has been updated to allow for quick one click access to each of the main design areas.

Design: design library (UPDATED)
The design library has been updated with new design combinations. You can find a design that you like and click the customize button to quickly adjust the design settings (color, banner, logo...)

Design: color picker (UPDATED)
The color picker on the main color page has been upgraded. The new color picker will give you more options for choosing your color. If you know the color code that you want to use, you can enter it directly into the color picker.

Design: new groupbox styles (UPDATED)
12 new groupbox styles have been added to the design system.

Image Upload: (UPDATED)
The standard image upload has been updated to allow for image size selection and upload location.   You can create new folders directly from the upload form.

Components: Google maps (UPDATED)
Google maps requires a unique key for each domain that will be using the maps service. This update allows you to enter multiple google map keys for additional domains.

Photo gallery (UPDATED)
Several new display modes have been added to the photo gallery. You can set the gallery to show previews to the left of the main image or below the main image. You can also enable number mode which displays a clickable number below the detail image.  The new image rotation feature is also available directly from the photo gallery list allowing you to rotate images as you are setting up your gallery.

Ecommerce: payment gateways (NEW)
The following payment gateways have been added.

   DPS-PaymentExpress
   epsSecureNet
   GoEMerchant

Ecommerce: shopping cart buttons/icons (UPDATED)
Many new shopping cart button styles have been added to the system. The shopping cart settings page in the design area now includes the ability for you to select from different styles of shopping cart icons (new arrival, special offer, clearance, free shipping)

Misc Updates

  File manager: remembers the file type/show count settings
  Image editor: added support for image rotation
  Header & Images: new header mode added to tile your custom image across the header area (fills banner area for wider layouts)

More updates may be potentially added to this release.

Thank You,

Keith Hickman
