• Add a new field to the cms table on install to track modified dates (auto updating)

Newest Developments……….

The latest development in progress that we think is a nice little add-on to any e-commerce store is the integration of the Vanilla forum by Mark O’Sullivan, being used in a joint project between Rainbow Studios and Ecartservice this little tweak (thats an understatement on ecartservices technical ability i can assure you !) enables the user to make an account within either the store or the forum and hold an account for both, automatically logging you in to both pieces of software.

Still in the testing stages the Vanilla 2 plug-in will have added functionality that allows content to be cross-posted between the two as both are really still separate installations which happen to reside on the same server (and share authentication). Once that’s complete We think it will be a powerful combination.

Once the project is complete I’m sure that will be getting a showcase spot on our Portfolio Blog here at Rainbow Studios, followed by a new module for presta launch over on ecartservice.

As a bit of an experimental foray into the way of the SEO world and as a marketing exercise we decided to build a blog aimed at readers interested in spoiling themselves and those they love. With a mixture of topics and more than one author the aim of the exercise is to give the blog varied but relevant content just as a bit of a test to see what results we could achieve. Its an ongoing project that over time we hope will grow.

We are currently testing out plug-ins for it and would welcome more contributors and article writers.

Pampering for You

The Rainbow Studios Team were asked not so long ago to get involved in designing a new forum dedicated solely to online trading and e-commerce, there are plenty of business forums out there geared to various types of businesses and it was felt that there was a gap available for a dedicated e-commerce forum that was focussed around making a success of an online store.

It has sections dedicated to all aspects of e-commerce from cart software to dropshipping and wholesale.

So pop along a join up, join the friendly online community of small business owners looking to make a success of their online ventures.

As the zencart templates produced by the  Rainbow Studios Group are growing in popularity we have decided to produce a ZenCart focussed design blog to enable you to keep     up to date with all the latest Zencart design developments from the Rainbow Studios Group.

Containing a wealth of free and premium graphics and links to resources available we aim for the site to be a complete resource for those of you using Zencart to run your e-commerce business.
Subscribe to the rss feed to enable you to keep up to date with the latest template releases and graphics on offer.

Or follow Zing your Zencart and the E-commerce show site on face book we will be launching a twitter page for this as soon as the design is complete.

Updates will also be included for our E-commerce Hosting and Domain purchasing services and special offers as they become available.

Feel free to make suggestions as to the graphics and features you think would be nice to see available from us for use with your zencart store to improve both the design and the functionality of your e-commerce store.

We hope that you will bookmark the site and follow it as it grows to provide we hope the biggest zencart resource available on the web producing quality graphics and templates at affordable prices if not FREE, remember all graphics produced are custom made by us at Rainbow Studios and should not be available elsewhere.
