We’re excited to bring you another FoxyPress update! This one has some cool stuff in it! Let’s dive in…

New Forum and Knowledge Base

We realize that the old forum has quite a few helpful topics in it, but we were lacking a good way to produce articles on how to use FoxyPress, not to mention a few sign in problems and other various functionality that we disliked. We discovered TenderApp, and we’re giving it a spin! It allows for us to create knowledge base articles that are searchable, as well as the fact they can be recommended based on what you’re looking for in the forums.

We plan on updating this as much as possible to get all that is possible with FoxyPress into a documented area. We will try to import as many of the existing topics from the old forum as well. Thank you for being flexible with us through this transition. We’d love to hear your feedback on how the new forum works too and if we should keep it or not. Check it out here!

Status Management Enhancements

Thanks to Kirk Woller of MamaDoo Kids, we’ve been able to enhance our status management email templates to use the same legend that we created for product email templates. Basically you can customize your status emails with things like tracking number, products ordered, and much more. Read up on it on our new knowledge base, located here. We’ve given some basic instructions on how to create a status that sends out an automatic email.

User Portal Additions

In release 0.3.8, we added functionality to our API that allows you to grab your customer’s transactions and ultimately create an order history page. We’ve been able make this user area even better, thanks to Delgado Protocol, by adding affiliate stats API calls.

We’ve added these two pages to our FoxyPress Demo store as well. Please login to the admin with username demo and password demo, then you can view the following pages:

We’ve been able to grow our features list quite often and we thank you for that! Let us know what you think we need to add in our UserVoice forum too! Thanks for using FoxyPress!
