ampleShop™ version 2.5 released!
The July release of ampleShop" ecommerce software now in its 2.5 version brings forward
the following improvements/features:
- Subscriptions Module
- Auctions Module
- New Storefront template framework using a centralized file to include all
the other functional pages thus totally separating the content
- All storefront labels now stored in one file "includes/labels/English.cfm".
This will greatly facilitate the storefront internationalization and customization
process for the developers and store owners. The labels contain markup that
is replaced by their corresponding dynamic equivalent in the order in which
they were passed to the component. The markup in the label definition is
similar to the following string: "Hallo {1} {2}. Thank you for
signing up for account at {3} store.". In the run time the
markup will be replaced by dynamic value and the result will be the similar
to the following string: "Hallo Joe Doe. Thank you for signing
up for account at Amplecom store."
- Storefront appearance is now configurable through the includes/navigation/navigationSettings.cfm
file allowing to toggle the display of the side includes from one central
location. The file names and paths of the available include pages are
stored into variables. Passing the literal value of the variables coma separated
list to the page configuration variables will load this includes in runtime.
- Added several new filters for browsing by product types, new releases,
discounted products, most popular products, browse by manufacturer and featured
items
- Greater use of CSS to control the look of the site.
- All storefront forms now rely on XHTML standards for table-less forms
- ampleShop" Store Manager Guide released as PDF and Html Help formats
(new button added in the Store Management Console in the top left corner
that opens the HTML Help application)
