V11 Features

[Benjamin Dyer]

As requested by the community, and for those that weren't at the customer conference, I promised to share the v11 features.

The core features are as follows:

1. Online Customer Accounts
2. Online Order History
3. Single Product Per Page
4. Single use Coupons
5. Improvements to SEO
6. Community niggles, as discussed already

Obviously we are talking about pre alpha software, so the usual caveats apply. Early indicators point to a May / June release, we should be having a very early alpha build in the new year, we'll put a call out .

Hope you approve

The first two are great news as they are the most I get requested, I assume it means customers can sign up for their own account?.

[leehack]

It will do yes Louise, fully automatic.

I like the idea that online history and order status will be available without having to create an account.

The idea is to present the option as part of the checkout, not compulsory just an option, and no Actinic are not putting in an Online database.

I am still trying to work out how you can make it secure if there is no account to link to

[Duncan Rounding]

Like many other sites, you will be able to check your order status with just the order number and your post code.

The new features should be great, but the API seems to be maybe for 12 now and upgrade to the access database similarly.

Enjoyed the conference, still trying to work out how you can do all that social media stuff in half an hour.

Wot, you mean you haven't managed to bang out 10 podcasts since you left Richmond? It's a doddle, you just get hubby to press a button and hey presto it's on the "net"

[Kombu]

So does this mean that customers who access previous orders online will be able to use those previous orders to build new orders?

[MJS]

Any updates on this yet Ben?

[Duncan Rounding]

I think the intention is to be able to reorder previous orders and then make modifications before checking out.

Are we still looking at a May/June release for v11?

[Duncan Rounding]

I suspect that time frame may have changed a bit. We haven't seen a public beta yet and there would be a period of time after that before a final release.
