Paul Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 It's looking like the beta will be starting next week as we have a few things left to do to wrap up 3.2. If you're a direct customer, you will be able to participate in the beta as soon as it starts. 3.2 will have a total of 5 order templates you can select from, including. - Standard (The order form shipped with Blesta 3.0-3.1, converted to Bootstrap) - Ajax Boxes - Ajax Slider - Wizard Boxes - Wizard Slider The new ajax order forms are essentially a one-page order form (for the most part) and come in two package selection options, boxes and a slider. The new wizard order forms are essentially the ajax order form as a multi-step, and it support both the boxes and slider package selection options. The overall designs are basically the same. Here's a screenshot of the ajax boxes, and ajax slider order forms. We look forward to your feedback, especially during the beta. We want these new order forms not only to look great, but to work great too. IP Board scaled down the full size screenshots for some reason, so they appear a little blurry. They are smaller than the maximum size allowed, so not sure why it's doing that. PauloV, alexistkd, Ken and 6 others 9 Quote

alexistkd Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 awesome work looks clean, as suggestion the order pages should be different between each other in that way we can have more options right out of the box without too much customization. Will be awesome to have one order page template more colorful that could impact more the client just a suggestion. Can we see the wizard boxes and slider? thank you for this great work Quote

Can we see the wizard boxes and slider? thank you for this great work The wizard boxes and slider look identical to the ajax version, but the flow of the order form is multi-step. Additional designs will follow over time, at least initially with package selection. Here we have a slider and boxes design for package selection. We are likely to implement additional sliders and boxes that vary in look & feel and introduce other types like a vertical listing of packages for selection. The implementation of new bootstrap based order templates makes it not only easier for us to move forward with new designs, but it makes it easier for others to customize the look on their own.

sysc Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Looking nice! Just curious, is there a link to the release notes? Quote
PauloV Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Great work Blesta It would be great if in the order forms, if there is alredy a Domain in Cart, be able to auto populate the Domain Field from the Hosting/Server/etc Keep up the good work Quote
MemoryX2 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Will the colors be customizable like the rest of Blesta? Anyways looks awesome! Quote
Michael Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Will the colors be customizable like the rest of Blesta? Anyways looks awesome! They use the Blesta theme colours so you can edit them via the style changer as far as I know. MemoryX2 1 Quote
Paul Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 They use the Blesta theme colours so you can edit them via the style changer as far as I know. The screenshot showing the boxes have a blue heading, I believe this is inherited from the panel color set for the client area. The slider version doesn't utilize any real color. Both have a header, and the header colors are part of the client theme which can be changed. marcel, Michael and MemoryX2 3 Quote

eversmile_host Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 it looks awesome. great work team. Quote
Paul Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Posted April 18, 2014 Since you asked, here's how the ajax boxes order page looks with a few different client themes. The purple theme is a new theme shipping with 3.2 called "Booty" as it's based on the Bootstrap 3 color scheme from the Bootstrap website. marcel, Michael and PauloV 3 Quote
Michael Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 Oh yes Booty Yum and also I see the new feature you have mate *cough* colour changing logos haha Quote
Paul Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Posted April 18, 2014 Oh yes Booty Yum and also I see the new feature you have mate *cough* colour changing logos haha If no logo is specified for the client theme, it defaults to the Blesta logo. It automatically detects the background color and chooses the white logo, or the color logo for the proper contrast. Michael 1 Quote

Yeah haha is there a way for us to do it soon so for dark bits like footer go grey and if it's light it shows the coloured one PauloV 1 Quote

marcel Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 it`s getting better and better....say hello Blesta! , goodbye WH**S Michael and Paul 2 Quote
ChrisB Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 If you use the boxes order form, will you still be able to link to them directly from your external site? Quote
Michael Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 If you use the boxes order form, will you still be able to link to them directly from your external site? Yes however I believe the selected link will show as the Selected box. Quote
Paul Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Posted April 19, 2014 Yep, you can link directly to a specific item on the order form. Mike's right, it will just make the item pre-selected on the order form though, at least for the ajax one. I have to check, but for the wizard type, you may be able to link to the 2nd page where you configure a specific item. If so, this would bypass the package selector and go straight to configuration which may be preferable. The new "default" order template in 3.2 will be Wizard Boxes, I think it's likely to be the most used order form. Michael and marcel 2 Quote
Paul Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Posted April 19, 2014 Are the sliders based on jQuery UI? bootstrap slider for jQuery is used. http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-slider/ Michael 1 Quote
ChrisB Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 We going to be seeing the beta soon(ish)? I've already completely re-themed the old order form so I'd like to make sure I can get the new one ready to go before I have the site go live vs having to update it after the fact. Quote
