Does anyone remember how to modifiy the page builder so that the session id (or customer number) doesn't show up in the URL? I did the modification for two sites, but I still can't remember how I did it... :D

In PGM-realtime builder you have to delete every occurence of customer number. There are a few other files I can't think of off the top of my head, but you can "sniff" them out by searching for them when the customer number pops up after clicking on a link.

*On a side note 4.7 takes out customer numbers automaticly.

Not to change the subject when will a stable version of 4.7 be available.

And is there a list of new/changed features in 4.7 anywhere?

R-n-R:

Im not the right person to anwser this question, but can tell you that there are great new features in there :-)

[Cameron Allen]

A rough list of the changes include:

-product interface is now fully stylable via centralized css file

-many more styles added to the end website display elements, particularly the menu system giving the end user more control over the automenu system.

-many new template variable features like: newsboxes, promoheaders, promotxt, logoimages, hmain menu, vmainmenu, hsubmenu, and a few more.

-email invoices now include order number

-email notifications and reciepts are sent at transaction based times

-shopping cart now recieves and reacts to payment responses from paypal

-custom templates can now have alternate disigns for the homepage, and interior/cart pages, as well as alternate style sheets

-remember me features in shopping cart made more prominent and intuitive

-auto menu system now sortable

-all hard coded soholaunch meta tags removed

-serveral new automated SEO features

-various bug fixes

-added language selection to initial setup form *thanks RUBEN!!!!!!

-customer number variable removed from URL

That is all I can think of that has been added since beta 2, but there is more!

As per the release date, we are currently constructing a new website which is almost completed as well as reconstructing the partner area. Keep your fingers crossed, hopefully we will get this out next week. I will post an official list of changes before the relesase.

Sounds great! I'll wait for the stable version of 4.7, rather than fooling with the current version.

i also would like to add the following NEW tags:
#BIZ-COMPANY# - Pull company name data from site_specs table
#BIZ-ADDRESS2# - Pull company address data from site_specs table
#BIZ-STATE# - Pull company state data from site_specs table
#BIZ-ZIP# - Pull company zipdata from site_specs table

[oneeach]

Is there a way to add these tags to a page without modifying the template?

I have tried adding a tag such as #NEWSBOX# in the text editor but it does not interpret this as a tag.

Maybe adding it as custom code on a page?

Tony

[Ruben]

nope, you have to edit this in the template (index.html) file in the template you want to edit.

there you can also choose to use the tag #NEWBOX-125# or #NEWSBOX-075# to show the first 125 or 75 characters of the news article.
