Web Builder Update History


	Complete Services Unbeatable Value Reliable Engineering Easy Maintenance				Web Builder Update History The current version of Web Builder is 4.236. If you have an older version of Web Builder, and would like it updated, please contact us. v4.236: Added functionality to large-store shopping cart module that enables privileged customers to log in, then see and purchase restricted products that are not available to the public. Drop-ship orders are now supported by means of a packing list that can be printed by shipping staff to accompany orders. The packing list omits discount information (showing retail prices only) and features the bill-to party rather than the name of the online store owner. Added 4th product category to large-store shopping cart. The same item can now appear in up to 4 categories. The blog module's RSS support has been upgraded from v0.91 to v2.0. Improved handling of automated date/time stamp in blog module. v4.017: Removed 9-scheme limitation; up to 35 schemes (page layouts) are now possible. Added support for unique description meta tag on each web page (pages created with prior Web Builder versions must be rebuilt in order to fully exploit this new feature). Added 2nd & 3rd product categories to large-store shopping cart. The same item can now appear in up to 3 categories. Invoice, Ship-to name, and Ship-to address details now show on client financial statements when merchant uses PayPal Express Checkout. Clients using the large-store shopping cart module will now find that uploaded images are automatically reduced to the optimal size, so less image pre-processing is necessary (if any). Special Order item status is now supported in large-store shopping cart. v3.782: Added Appointment Scheduling module. A bug was corrected involving enlargement images in HTML code segments created via the small store help wizard. Image editing zoom level is now more flexible for larger images. Clients using the gallery module will now find that uploaded images are automatically reduced to the optimal size, so less image pre-processing is necessary (if any). v3.634: Entire folders can now be excluded from the site search engine. This is especially helpful on sites who order SEO landing pages (see Traffic Enhancement package M5). Calendar module now offers week view, enabling users to see available and unavailable time blocks at a glance and navigate more intuitively. v3.53: Added support for PayPal Express Checkout, making it possible to exploit real-time impulse purchases while making online stores PCI DSS exempt. Simplified table tags in help wizard. v3.289: Added image editing module. Gallery module now supports caption editing. Shopping cart invoice page now supports affiliate marketing tracking pixels without significant customization. v3.182: Added graffiti module. Web Builder users can now host forums, chat rooms, and whiteboards on their web sites using a pre-existing software module. How is this similar to and different from the blogging module? v3.062: Added support for social bookmarking to Web Builder's content management module. Social bookmarking is a means of driving more traffic to your web site. See details. Added site search management tool so site owners can prevent certain pages from being found via site search. Useful for pages that are not meant for public view. v2.996: Added more complete support for ISO 8859-1 symbols. Cutting and pasting between the Web Builder page-editing dialog and a Windows word processor which uses special characters including smart quotes will now be more seamless. See details. Added notification email to be sent to your shipping staff when orders are placed for tangible goods via your Triskelon shopping cart. (It is still recommended that shipping staff check the secure web interface a minimum of 3 times a week for orders to be shipped.) v2.955: Added support for date/time stamp and RSS subscriptions in blogging module. v2.903: Added optional pay-per-download module for selling downloadable digital content. Added optional eTicketing module for selling etickets and parking permits for a series of events. Shopping cart now displays a graphic progress indicator to visually guide customer along through the checkout process. v2.766: In past versions, it was not possible to charge handling but not shipping. Now it is. Two variables are involved: "handling fee" and "free shipping threshold". To eliminate all shipping & handling charges for domestic ground shipping, both variables should be set to 0. To charge a flat rate, "handling fee" should be set to the flat rate value, and "free shipping threshold" should be set to 0. If you wish to have these variables configured for your shopping cart installation, please contact us. v2.519: Added calendar module. Can be used to maintain either public or private calendar. Unlimited calendar accounts to support each member of your organization with a personal private calendar. Maintain it easily on any computer where you have a full keyboard. View it from your mobile phone or PDA from anywhere in the world. Changed action item links in pages, images, and gallery areas from text to icons. v2.487: Although still not recommended as a best practice, added support for WYSIWYG editing (via a free third-party Firefox extension) for those clients who are just not interested in learning simplified HTML. Please see details. Modified help wizards pertaining to headers and fonts in order to provide better support for current trends in search engine optimization. v2.426: Added function so that, if you forget to release a locked page, you can now override the lock without having to call for support. Increased editing area on page editing window. Added promo discount amount to shopping cart order status screen. Added confirmation when pages are deleted so pages cannot be deleted accidentally. v2.407: Added option in shopping cart to offer discounts to customers using a promo code which can be provided via special advertisements and entered on checkout. Only those customers who know the promo code get the discount, like an online "coupon". Store owner determines discount percentage, expiration date, which products are discounted, maximum number of discounted items, and whether a customer can use the promo code more than once. v2.377: Added options in shopping cart to ship without tracking number, such as via USPS Priority Mail; and to collect payments without a merchant credit card account via PayPal and money order. These options are not recommended as best practices, but are now supported for those clients who have special circumstances, such as low sales volume when just starting up an online store. Still recommended to use package tracking to reduce your order status inquiries and loss claims. Still recommended to get a merchant credit account ASAP for best per-transaction rates and order-completion rates. v2.314: Image gallery support added. Now a photo album or other series of images can easily be maintained without having to manually lay out captions, links, and thumbnails. v2.213: Blogging support added. Enables the web site owner to offer web site visitors a series of journals or articles (one per page) without having to create or maintain a page of links. Please see details. v2.144: Shopping cart software modules are now built into Web Builder and/or available as optional add-ons, depending on your situation, no longer requiring costly custom software development nor monthly subscription fees (as are charged by some shopping cart services). Please see details. v2.076: Added file locking support to facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. Using older versions, multiple authors could have opened the same page at the same time, and work would have been preserved only for the author who saved last. Now, with file locking support, no one's work is lost. List of existing pages is now shown in date order. Last modified date is now available by hovering over the edit link in the list of existing pages. Added support to results.php for search engine spiders to index site, bypassing menus, for schemes which employ JavaScript menus. v1.879: Added support for centered images in image help wizard. Added help button next to scheme selector in page editing window.

(Previous versions allowed users to edit only one content area per page, which lead to a less friendly experience when more complex page layout schemes were used.) Even where a complex page layout is required, the user experience will now be more friendly. v1.077: Added functionality: (1) Deinstallation process. Web site owners may now choose to deinstall Web Builder without Triskelon support. (2) Save button does not appear until page has been modified. Visible Save button is a reminder that the page has not been saved since last modified. v1.068: Added preview pane to page editing window to enable users to view raw HTML and formatted pages simultaneously. Clicking back and forth between views is no longer necessary. High resolution screen recommended (1152 x 864 or better). v1.049: Corrected rounding error in version number interpreter, such that false "outdated" indicator no longer appears. v1.047: Replaced fixed file size limit with max time drop-down selector in image upload function, to help make web site owners aware of how large files consume bandwidth. v1.044: Added indicator to show whether the version of Web Builder installed on your web server is current or outdated.
