Softpress (the developers of Freeway) have released Xway, their next-generation web-design tool.

We have written a couple of supplementary manuals showing how to use both Sitelok and Vibracart Pro in Xway projects. These should be used alongside the relevant full manuals.

This new version has a number of new features, bug fixes and tweaks.

• Products can now have categories and tags assigned to them. This allows discounts to be applied to groups of products for example. The Store front page can also be set to show only specific categories or allow the buyer to select one. Please note that currently tags are almost the same as categories so you could use tags for internal tagging perhaps. New features using tags may be added later.
  
  
• Up to 5 checkout fields can be collected. For example you could request further delivery instructions. Each field can be set as required and can be set to either text, number, date, time or textarea type.
  
  
• Product buyer input fields can now have field types of text, number, date, time or textarea.
  
  
• New sales by category / tag stat added
  
  
• Audio can now be played on the image grid as well as images and video.
  
  
• New snippet to display a cart icon overlaid with the number of items. This can be used match the store front page which use the same style.

Sitelok V6.9 has been released with some new features, bug fixes and tweaks.

Multiselect fields

Registration, update profile and contact forms now have a multiselect field available. You can optionally set the minimum and maximum selections allowed as well as the number of rows shown in the form. The selected options are stored in the custom field separated by commas.

Handling existing users in registration forms

Added options to handle registration forms when the user already has an account. Useful when using a registration form to add user to a newletter usergroup for example. Options now include

• Block registration and show warning (default action)
• Delete existing account (use with caution)
• Delete existing accounts if all usergroups are expired
• Just add user to the form usergroup and continue
• Send an email template to the user and then redirect to a different thank you page.

Product selection during registration

Previously if a registration form was used to take payment the relevant product had to be set in the form. We now have a new Product dropdown field so that the user can choose the product to purchase. There is also an option to use a hidden field instead which you could perhaps set from javascript.

Automatic username based on name

If you would like a registration form to generate a unique username based on the users full name or first name the you can add a hidden username field to the form containing the value UNIQUEFROMNAME or UNIQUEFROMFIRSTNAME. This will generate the username and append a number to make it unique if needed.

Other features

Added !!!lastgroupname!!!, !!!lastgroupdesc!!! etc email template variables have been added.
New Send Email action snippet added.
Email template conditionals now work in the email subject.
Specific users can be set to bypass concurrent login (if enabled) by adding a setting to slconfig.php (useful for admin users for example).
