    Actinic v8 Beta Goes Live

    Hi Everyone,

    We are very pleased to announce the much-anticipated Actinic v8 Beta release.

    Version 8 sees the introduction of two distinct ranges of products - tailored specifically to the needs of merchants who want to build and manage their own ecommerce web sites; and web designers who want to build and deploy ecommerce sites for clients.

    Actinic v8 For Web Designers

    Based around a new and completely rebuilt, flexible architecture, Actinic v8 provides an object-oriented design view offering point-and-click access to the code. This will enable web designers to develop ecommerce sites easily, more economically and with few compromises.

    For more information about the v8 product range for web designers go to: http://www.actinic.co.uk/v8/wd.htm

    Actinic v8 for Merchants

    Actinic v8 also provides a significant feature upgrade to Actinic Catalog and Actinic Business - the products for merchants who build and maintain their own sites. Actinic Catalog and Business benefit from new functionality in the areas of design flexibility, advanced marketing and merchandising, and catalogue and store management.

    For more information about the v8 product range for merchants go to: http://www.actinic.co.uk/v8/diy.htm

    Special Offers

    We have some special offers available during the v8 beta period. Details will be included in our latest email newsletters, which are being sent out this week.

    If you do not receive your email newsletter by Friday 7th July and would like to know more about our special offers, please contact the Actinic Sales Team on 0845 129 4800.

    Support

    Support queries and user feedback for the v8 beta will be by email, to v8beta@actinic.co.uk

            OK - first question - what's the equivalent of the V7 Actinic Devloper?
            Is it Business Multi Site? - And if so does Business Multi Site contain the Web Developer features of Web Designer?

                Yes. It will include a Dreamweaver Interface as well as all the new design features that are introduced across the range.

                I'm starting to think a v8 forum will be a good idea. I'll run it past the management team and get it set up tomorrow. In the meantime, feel free to keep posting here.

                By the way, there is a beta testing guide available to help you through the new features. The link is on the download page.

                  Top tip - pretend you have never heard of Act_Templates.html or NETQUOTEVAR's .. after a few days of thinking like v6 and v7 came to the conclusion you can't

                    Yep I agree with this, its driving me mad not being able to plough in and hack the templates, having to work out where the bit of the template is that i want.

                    Still come back to me next week and I'll go netquotewhat?

                      a forum would be nice, as there is a huge learning curve here...

                      why not have it a login only forum? or use the same criteria to access it as the developer one

                              It won't install for me.

                              Install hangs at 23% at:
                              C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\IDAutomationC39S.ttf

                              Is it just me?

                              (I've sent an email to the beta feedback address)
