    Secure forms (availability based on plan/upgrade)

    With the secure forms upgrade, you can collect information via secure forms.  When a user browses to a page with a secure form, the page redirects to secure mode (https://).  Data that is submitted via the secure form is saved in an encrypted data area of your website.   The form data is not sent via email.  To view the form data you need to login to your website.

    • Secure https:// page
    • Data is not sent via email.  You must login to your website to view form data
    • The secure form cannot be used to collect credit card/billing information
    Form data/csv

    All data will now be saved in a forms database.  To view form data, you can login to your website, click the form data link and select the form that you want to view. 

    The form data csv file has also been updated.  The csv data file for newly submitted forms will contain the form data fields in the file header.  This will make it much easier to use/import the file into other applications.  The form data file will also contain all data fields such as radio buttons and checkboxes.  Each time you change the form field data structure, a new csv file will be created.

    Ecommerce rewards

    With the ecommerce rewards system enabled, you can give your customers discounts for shopping at your website. Customers will earn reward points for making purchases at your website. They can login to their accounts and redeem the reward points for credit that can be used on future purchases. You can configure how points are converted, which products are included/excluded and set specific products to be worth more/less points.

    AppDb (availability based on plan/upgrade)

    Use the AppDb feature to setup a searchable/sortable data table. You can define your own custom fields when setting up the data table. To create a new AppDb go to the page list and click the AppDb page type.

    Design updates

    We have many new site design templates being developed.  The next update will include several new template designs.

    Animated menus : We are experimenting with several different animated menu styles.  These menus will move/animate when moving the mouse over the menu. 

    Blog enhancements

    New customization options have been added that let you customize the styles, fonts, colors of many of the blog display elements. You can also customize how many blog posts are displayed on the first page. You can set the system to show all the post from the last 7 days, last 30 days, or you can specify the number of posts to display.

    Social networking

    The social networking icons can now be added to the bottom of the product catalog detail pages.  Social networking icons allow visitors to share the product page/information on their social networking pages (twitter, facebook...)  To add the social networking icons to product detail pages, view your website, click the settings button and then click the social networking link. 

    Google Buzz has been added to the list of social networking icons.

    Misc Updates

    • Image tools: A slider has been added to the main resize image page allowing you to easily reduce the image size by moving the slider.
    • Footer styles: the advanced padding/border/margin settings have been added to the footer styles area.
    • Image gallery/rotator: all of the image gallery/rotator modes now support the image description display.
    • Product search: the product search from within the store manager now allows you to change the product category/login after clicking on the edit link from the search.
    • Ecommerce order notes:  The new append to notes button allows you to enter time stamped updates to the order notes area.

    Site Builder Preview

    Many minor updates have been made to the site builder preview. An increase size option has been added to the popup component edit window. Clicking the size button at the top of the edit window will expand the edit window to use the full width of the screen.

    FireFox 3.6 file upload/drag drop

    Firefox 3.6 supports the HTML5 enhanced multi file upload.  When the advanced file upload option is enabled, you will be able to use the Firefox 3.6 upload features.  When you browse to select files to upload you, will be able to select multiple files in the file open dialog box. 

    Drag/drop upload: A drop files box will appear next to the file upload/browse button.  To upload files via drag/drop, open a file/explorer window.  Select the files you want to upload, click the files and drag the files to the "drop files" area in the browser window.  The files will be uploaded to your website.

     We always appreciate your feedback.
