unica e-shop Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 @Havouza your right, but i was suggesting that why not make an already free module a part of thirty bees, not that they should make all their own modules free :)
ajensen27 Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Should probably steer away from using sliders/carousels anyways. They're pretty useless, take up valuable space above the fold, and slow down your site. There's a lot of articles on the web that back this up.
vincentdenkspel Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 @Havouza i think they can. By crowdfunding a lot of the develpment.
Havouza Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 No one outside the team will develop modules for tb using crowdfunding. You will find that out
lesley Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 @ajensen27 As many articles as there are to back it up, I think most are written by non ecommerce people. I think they are mostly written by designers. I know that there are hot rivalries between some of the big American ecommerce sites, but I see all of them using sliders or hero images. I think people like to claim they are bad, but if they were bad for visitors or conversions then sites with huge ecommerce, marketing r and d, and design / development departments would not be using them.
vincentdenkspel Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I'm talking about the Tb developers. They want tb to be successfull. If all the voters on the crowdfunding blog would pay € 100 than all the modules could be developed. These modules will make TB better. If we had to buy all these modules from third party developers each of us had to pay hundreds of euro's (only for one site)
lesley Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 I hope everyone pays that, it will really get us moving and we can start looking into other modules too. :smiley_cat:
Havouza Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 The first crowdfunding project is not set up yet. And its a very big difference in voting and contributing
vincentdenkspel Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 @lesley You will have to create 4 indiegogo projects than. I'm more than happy to pay €50 each.
lesley Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 This is what worried us, that is why we gave different options with different pricing options so we could make the best possible decision as to which one might be successful.
lesley Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 What we thought was doing it like this, creating one project with a 2000 euro goal, then having the extended goals, like if we raise 3k we will do the search and the review module, if we raise 4k we will do the search, review, and blog module, ect.
ajensen27 Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 @lesley Yeah that's true. I think as long as they are well done, then they can work. I just see a lot of small store owners with some bad looking designed banners and it just makes the site look unprofessional. My .02 :)
unica e-shop Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 @lesley exactly that is why i am suggesting that since slider will and is a part of ecommerce so why not incorporate a slider that is way better (in my opinon) then the standard one, and is free as well (so there is no extra work)
vincentdenkspel Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 @lesley Great. I can't wait till the Indiegogo project is online
lesley Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 @ajensen27 I do as well. I think there is really a void in the market for affordable services to get banners designed from. I know most of my clients would pay a reasonable amount for a banner that looks good
unica e-shop Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 I would also like to see a full html editor (like tinyMCE) incoprted into the thirtybee, instead of the limited and normal HTML editor, as it will make it much easier for eCommerce like me who doesn't have much technical knowledge, this is a minor feature but it will have a great impact.
lesley Posted July 2, 2017 Author Posted July 2, 2017 We have actually looked at some of the choices. Like extending tinyMCE with a more feature rich version. But that is expensive to go with them. I haven't seen any other options that were as good given our budget.
Havouza Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 I have used Vekias tutorial and just changed code in one page and got the full tinyMce editor https://mypresta.eu/en/art/prestashop-16/extended-rich-text-editor.html Works directly like a charm
lesley Posted July 3, 2017 Author Posted July 3, 2017 That is an option as well, a pretty easy one to be honest that I thought we already did.
lesley Posted July 3, 2017 Author Posted July 3, 2017 Apparently not. I was just about to push it, but then I see that it makes useless the allow iframe button. We will have to figure something out about this, but it will get handled, that button might disappear.
Havouza Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 There is also some small bug in it or missing buttons. Also on his site you can see the last three buttons without icon
lesley Posted July 3, 2017 Author Posted July 3, 2017 Yeah, we might have to play around with it. I can check what the buttons actually do. I am going to start another topic about this in general, I have a question that deserves its own topic.
lesley Posted July 3, 2017 Author Posted July 3, 2017 Here is a link to that topic, https://forum.thirtybees.com/topic/494/tinymce-editor-in-the-back-office
