CSS form elements / Calendar / Customer Acc / V7

[technodom]

Hi there, has anybody used css on the form elements in Actinic? If so, how - is it part of actinic.css

Also on a slightly different note - is it possible to sell items based on a time slot i.e. using a calendar showing available day/hours etc?

and...

customer accounts, how can I gather email address from customers and then use them to email back with marketing campaigns, is there a way built in, or can we programme it in?

and final is the a feature list for Version 7 anywhere, I was told by one of the sales guys that lots of new features would be in V7 so I could do with knowing what else there is to come.

thanks for your help.

Hi there.

In relation to the calender feature, the only way I see of doing this is to use attributes and choices, but this will mean constantly amending the list of choices. You could use the date prompt under the product as an alternative.

In regards to the feature list for V7, I am afraid that we do not have one that can be published at the moment as features are subject to change. As they say, watch this space. News on the release of V7 will be on www.actinic.co.uk and here on the community.

In regards to marketing and css, I am checking with my colleagues. Will post again when I have news.

how can I gather email address from customers and then use them to email back with marketing campaigns, is there a way built in, or can we programme it in?

Hi there.

Regarding your css elements,

In the css file you can create a class that sets the background colour, size and font for an edit field. To then use these in the HTML you use:

<input type="text" class="whatever" ... >

I hope this helps.

Hi there.

In relation to email extraction, if you are happy with SQL in MS Access and are using customer accounts in Actinic you can try the following:

create a new query in the ActinicCatalog.mdb database (make sure you make a backup of this before starting)
SELECT Customer.sAdministratorEmailAddress FROM Customer;
Plus adding name, address etc.. to make it more usable

Then export this query to a csv or txt file

In outlook there is an option to import address book from a txt file, you
can use this one and add them to group and send all

Hope this helps.
