New Features/Improvements Wish List

Have you got a great idea that will help improve the TOTECS Ecommerce platform?

Are you doing the same steps that could be simplified with a tweak of the platform?

Does your organisation need a great new piece of functionality to help its online strategy grow?

If you've said yes to any of these questions then please submit a topic that describes your idea.

Please search the forum first to avoid duplicating topics that have already been covered by somebody else. Duplicated topics will be deleted.

If you like somebody elses idea, please comment their topic with a "+1" in the comment text. The more people who comment with a +1, the more incentive we have to develop a popular piece of functionality.

If your idea is similar to someone elses idea then place a comment in their topic with details of how you would like to improve upon it. The more requirements we get, the greater amount of detail we can factor in when developing the functionality.

Please avoid creating single sentence improvements. The more detail you provide about the new feature/improvement, the easier you make it for us to understand what you want, and the greater the chance we will develop something that you were looking for.

Please note that the research and development team is constrained by time, cash, and resources. So ideas that require a large amount of investment by us may take a long before they come into fruition, if at all. We may ask interested parties to partially fund development, or if its needed yesterday you can fund the development with us to place the functionality ahead of the queue.

Please ensure that you do not post any information containing user names, passwords, or any other sensitive information that could compromise the security of a project or website relating to an organisation or person.

Is there any way to integrate Google sign in to the website?

I was wondering if there was any plans to add functionality to overcome the current styling limitations of all the current CMS Popups? It would be awesome if we could get rid of them all together and add a new format library areas so that the functionality can be better presented and more functional. Currently the ones giving us a headache are: 1. Change Password popup 2. Forgot Password 3. Search item combo popup 4. Basket Surcharge Calculator.

Hi Guys, I was trying to work out why Google is not crawling all Pagination Pages of each of our categories, as a lot of our customers are using organic Google searches to look up our part codes but not being able to find our products. This is especially important to us as many of our products codes are specified in tenders, but our company name is not always listed as the supplier. What I found, and please let me know if I'm on the wrong track, is Google is efficiently crawling our site and caching the first page but once it crawls the page, because the "cached" page is not connected to the www.alectro.com.au server the "http://www.alectro.com.au/search%20page%2010" page request fails, and in turn the content on all of the remaining pages is not being crawled. Step 1. Google search for "HDMI Wall Plates" Step 2. Click the [Cached] or " v " down arrow next to our listing and view the Cached content of Alectro's (HDMI Wall Plates) Step 3. At the top click View the "Text-only version" http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zrbaAjRJ_QEJ:www.alectro.com.au/wall_plate_products/cat/hdmi-wall-plate.html&num=1&hl=en&gl=au&strip=1&vwsrc=0 Step 4. Scroll down to the pagination links which are about half way down the page and if you click on any of these page links it takes you to "http://www.alectro.com.au/search%20page%2010" respectively Is there a way to insert a link for each one of the pages for Google to crawl, so google can cache the rest of our products?

currently when the "update area" button is pressed in the template area of the web page editor, the page closes automatically. This means if you have assigned the incorrect area when testing you have to reallocate each or the area which can be quite monotonous.

Hey, Are we able to have the 'Payment Method' section that appears on the emailed web confirmation removed? This wording confuses our customers as we have multiple 'Account' setups. Even if you can't remove the section at least remove where it comes up saying either 'Account' or 'Credit'. can we just have it blank? Thanks

Hi, Would it be possible to have multiple email address entered into the 'Confirmation Email' line on the 'Order Details' page? Thanks

I'm looking at the idea of implementing an online account application form for a credit account. We currently use a downloadable PDF that the applicant needs to fill in and send back as an email or fax. The double entry and delay in processing can be frustrating for both us and the customer. I would love to hear if anyone else is already doing something that is interrogated into there site.

If someone wants to have product review comments appear on the category page, is there a way to pull the product review data from a product and then put it on the category page?

Is it possible when a shopping list is selected form the drop down on the Product Details page, to display the description of the selected shipping list by either an additional hook or via the back end code?

Would be great if the "Not Found Image" for Categories and Products that haven't had an Image assigned to them, could be uploaded and managed in the admin area.

Within the Administration Centre, under the Stores menu, in the Payments interface, within the table that displays in the View Payments tab, it would be beneficial to show which administrator user submitted the custom credit card payment on behalf of the customer, using the Make Payment functionality in the payments admin interface.

There is a table like the below one that shows on "Web Product" but not on "Combination products". Is there a way that I can modify the way this list/table is displayed on Web Products and Combination Products? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Buy over 2 for $40.34 (EACH) (Inc GST)", "Buy over 3 for $38.21 (EACH) (Inc GST)", "Buy over 9 for $33.97 (EACH) (Inc GST)", "Buy over 19 for $31.84 (EACH) (Inc GST)" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My preference would be to have two new hooks, an "Ex_Dis_Table" and an "Inc_Dis_Table" that only showed the "Qty Value" and the "Unit Price Value".

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to change the User message and logic. The current message is And it takes the quantity & price from MYOB data.

The issue is that a number of Users don't read the message (I know its quite clear!) and assume that the discount applies from "4" (in this case), whereas it only applies when quantities is more than 4. If possible, could the message read "Buy 5 or more for... " and the code retrieving the quantity break would need to increment the value by 1 If it was only the very odd occurrence,

I wouldn't bother raising this, but we get a number of orders coming through at the break quantity (ie the value displayed in the message) and then need to ring the customer to confirm whether or not they want an additional item to get the discount. Also as a FYI, customers have mentioned that this is how a number of other systems present the info when ordering.

Thanks,

Peter Howard

We currently group debtor types together using different rep codes (same rep but different type of customer) Eg John1, John2 It would be great to be able to assign multiple mirrored sales rep accounts to a rep user, so they can operate with one login. Any +1's on this? Thanks Ian

Hi Everyone, It would be great to see if a user is active from the Search Users interface within the Administration Centre, this helps with password resetting (to know if it will affect anyone if it is changed) and also when maintaining a user to know if it is the correct one. If we could see last login date and last order date (or list of orders) by clicking a button on the screen it would be ideal. How about some +1's? Thanks!

Would be great to be able to add a product review summary area on a content managed web page that displays highly rated reviewed products like flagged products

When setting Deal Products and Deal Users, it would be great if the search would function in the sames ways as the other Product / User searches throughout the admin centre, with autofill.

Over the years there have been requests for a Dealer Locator module to be added to the TOTECS® platform. We are inviting all clients with an interest in seeing this feature developed to please join in on the forum discussion and contribute their ideas on how such a function could be imlemented to meet their needs
