uWebshop April News Update

Posted on by

April started as quite a busy month for the uWebshop team. We released the 2.1.1 version of uWebshop with a lot of improvements in features and overall quality. Next to this release we also launched our new website.

There has been an amazing response to this latest 2.1.1 release. We got so much feedback and ideas that we decided to try something we normally only available to our partners and support-contract customers: a rapid release schedule. We released stable, but smaller updates 2 to 3 times a week to our website, instead of letting you wait for a ‘bigger’ release for a few weeks. All updates are non-breaking and stable, most of them only require the replacement of DLL files, unless noted otherwise.

While writing this blogpost we pushed version 2.1.2.5 of uWebshop to our website.

So what has happened since the 8th of April?

What is the uWebshop team working on?

With currently over 40 sites running uWebshop, we frequently get questions about our development progress and other things we are working on. What will be next? Do we  already work on uWebshop for Umbraco 5? Will you continue to build for Umbraco 4? Can you please build the shop for us?!?

uWebshop 5

As you could have noticed from the previous blogpost bij Sebastiaan we are indeed working on an uWebshop version for Umbraco 5: uWebshop 5.

While we can’t give you an exact date when this version will be finished, we can promise a working demo and in-depth tech session at the Dutch Umbraco Festival 2012. So be sure to be there!

uWebshop 1.7 for Umbraco 4.7

While a part of the team is working hard to develop uWebshop5, we also actively develop the uWebshop package for Umbraco 4.7. The new uWebshop 1.7 version, to be released soon, will contain quite some nice updates:

  • Ability to define a template per category or product node in the catalog.
  • Reworked URL functionality. Now without node Id’s.
  • Category and product url’s configurable in the web.config (sswsCategoryUrl & sswsProductUrl).
  • Razor extentions in own dll and returning objects instead of combined with xslt extentions.
  • Razor extentions return objects
  • Some new API functionality to use with the Razor scripts
  • Examples Razor scripts
  • Updated XSLT extentions to work with the new URL functionality
  • Accept Terms & Conditions checkbox on customerdatapage
  • Overrule shipping providers checkbox that will only show those shipping providers if they match with an order (they overrule weight)
  • Various code optimalisations & Bug fixes

This version is already being actively used in a few live shops and will be available soon in the Umbraco Deli.

New uWebshop website coming soon!

With uWebshop being a company on it’s own since this year, we also needed to update our website to reflect these changes. Our new website will contain more information about our product for both developers as end customers and there will be a WIKI to find all the information you need. We are also building integration with other services to centralize the customer support.

uWebshop training & certifications

While uWebshop is developed with both shop owners as shop developers in mind, we do regularly get requests from companies that want us to train their developers, or shop owners, how to work with uWebshop as good as possible.

For those who are interested we do offer training & certifications at your company or in the uWebshop office in Leiden. Get in touch for fees and possibilities.

Let us build your shop!

If you are developing a shop, but need some extra hands, some customizations, or a shop completely build from scratch in the highest quality, we are more then welcome to help you with that! We will also help shop-owners (to-be) with choosing the right uWebshop partner to get their shop developed.

Using CMSImport to import to your uWebshop catalog

If you are working with the Umbraco Content Management System there is a big chance you’ve heard of the CMSImport package by Richard Soeteman.

CMSImport PRO helps you import content or members from any datasource into Umbraco.

CMSImport PRO allows you to save wizard steps so you can run an import later or schedule it for a certain date and time. When you re-run an import existing records will be updated and the new records will be added. When media is imported references in content or member data will be updated automatically.

Best of all CMSImport Pro makes it possible to import structured data. This allows you to import a complete product catalog, blogposts including comments, or any structure with the same ease as normal data!

CMSimport is optimized to work with uWebshop.

uWebshop Excel catalog

We created an Excel sheet to help you with your importing needs:
uWebshop-CatalogSheet

The Excel file Data source requires you to install the Microsoft Data Connectivity Components before CMSimport can handle the importing.

Below you’ll find a explanation of the Sheets and cells of the file.

uWebshop launch vendor in the Umbraco Deli!

The uWebshop team is proud to be one of the Umbraco Deli marketplace launch vendors. The Umbraco Deli was launched at the Codegarden 11 conference in Copenhagen.

The Umbraco Deli is the repository and marketplace for Umbraco packages, utilities, add-ons, starter kits, and skins. The projects in the Deli are independent, Umbraco related software projects and packages, created and maintained by community members. The Deli is not only for commercial packages as free packages are allowed, even encouraged. The Umbraco community enthusiastically supports new, useful, high-quality Deli projects with downloads, feedback, karma points, and purchases. If you have a great project, whether it’s a simple skin or a massive CRM extension for Umbraco, we encourage you to create a listing in the Umbraco Deli.

More information about the deli can be found on the our.umbraco wiki

uWebshop licenses can now be bought directly from the Umbraco Deli store in a unified way that is used

Because of this new way of purchase and licensing we had to change the uWebshop license model a bit. You now have to connect your license to a domain instead of a ‘per installation’ license we had up til now. The license is valid for 1 development, 1 staging and 1 production domain which you can enter when ordering a license. The price stays € 99,-

We also offer extended support licenses (€ 499,-/year), complete implementations and/or create modules on request, if you want more information about one of these options you can contact us for details and price information
