New Features

    • Folder Structure - The theme is now integrated by two folders: Background and Header, which contain the backgrounds and headers respectively and which make up the theme.
    • JSON File - The new json format contains only four sections: Theme, Header, Background and Color.
  • New Complete - This option allows you to load the themes using a json file in the new theme format, this is the default way in which we upload theme packages. All Vigeowebsite Theme Packs can be accessed from Downloads under Support in your Client Area, just select the Vigeowebsite Theme Pack (Default, Holidays or Seasonal) you want and click on the theme you want to download. Then from this option (New Complete) in your Dashboard you can upload the theme.

  • Backgrounds - Consult or delete the backgrounds of the theme or add new backgrounds to the themes and create various configurations for your website.
    • Backgrounds List - It allows you to see an expandable thumbnail of each of the backgrounds that make up the theme. Also, from here you can delete the backgrounds that you no longer need.

    • Edit - It allows you to individually modify any color of the color scheme. This is a very useful feature since it applies to both the new color schemes created by you as well as the default color schemes. For example, if you want to change the submenu color located in the Home, from here you can do it and very easily, with just a few clicks.
• New Optionals Module - In this release we have created a completely new, more powerful and flexible Optionals Module with a lot of features that will encompass, most of the particular needs that you may have. This new Optionals Module covers eleven areas, the first three were redesigned and are Complementary Menu, Rewards Program and Transition Bar. The remaining eight areas allow the inclusion of videos, change the maps by images, add an image to the footer, configure the carousels, select a Product Link Name General and the color of the button that appears in the product details window, add general external links in practically all areas of the website, change the address by any other information and activate only the external login providers you want. To generate and manage your website is not necessary to work with this module, there are already selected options by default that work well for most users. However, if you have some special needs or want to make some particular adjustments, this module will definitely help you achieve your goal.
  • Complementary Menu - It allows you to activate/deactivate options from the main menu (Home and Market) and user control options (Sign up and Log in) that you do not want to appear on your website.

  • Change Map by Image - If you do not have a physical address or a location, or simply do not want the maps to appear on your website, this option allows you to change the maps by images in both the Home and the Contact template. In addition, if you wish you can also add a link to the image that replaces the map. Also with this option you can choose to keep one of the maps, for example the map that is on the contact page and replace the map of the Home with an image and take advantage of the space to add another promotion.
  • Footer Image - This option allows you to add an image at the end of the footer. This image is designed as an elongated banner that covers the width of the central section of your website.

In addition, if you wish you can also add a link to the image.
  • Carousels - Now you have the possibility to decide if you want the Dots or Arrows to appear on the carousels, you can select both, one of them or none, you decide. We have also added the possibility of including a general link for all the images of the upper carousel and a general link for all the images of the lower carousel, both located in the Home of your website. If you decide to add the general link to the carousels, each carrousel image will point to the same general link, regardless of whether each image has an individual link configured or not.
  • Products Link Name - In addition to being able to add an individual link to each product/service or configure a General External Link for all products, you also have the option to select the color of the button that contains the link and if you want a general message that is displayed on the button. This button appears at the end of the product/service details window. If you do not enter a Link Name (General or individual) for the product/service and if you enter a link url (General or individual), then on the button that contains the link it will show the message Details.
    • Link Name Color - It allows you to select the color of the button that is located at the end of the product/service details window. This is the button that contains the link to which you want to redirect the visitor who is consulting the product/service. The default color is red.

  • General External Links - As with the images of the carruceles, now you have the possibility of adding a general link to all the elements of a certain group that are shown on your website and also change the default behavior by clicking on those elements, so that everyone points to the same general link. The general links take precedence over the individual links and over any other default behavior of the item on which the general link is being applied.

  • Sign-In - We have included four external login providers in the module: Facebook, Google, Twitter and Microsoft. This will allow users of your website who wish to register or log in, using the account they have in any of the aforementioned providers. The great advantage of using external log-in providers is that they performed all the user's checks and verified that it is a real user.

However, you will be offering your customers a security mechanism that is already a standard in the market. Activating this option depends to a large extent on the activity you perform and the services you offer your clients, you probably will not need this option at first, but you already know that you have it in this module if you need it in a future.

We have also included a details button in the details window of the products/services to also allow individual links for products/services. Now you can redirect your visitors and clients to other websites or services from a specific image on your website or from the window details of the products/services. The links of the images can all be different, or depending on their needs some images can have a link, other images may not have a link and some images have even the same link. The above also applies to products/services. The new individual links are optional and only you decide when to use them or not.
  • Carousels - Now you can click on each of the images that are shown in the upper and lower carousels of the Home.
  • Categories - Now you can click on each of the images that represent a product/service category.
  • Products - Now from the window details of the product/service you can click on the new Details button, which appears if you have assigned an individual link to the product/service. In addition, if you want you can replace Details by the name you want to be displayed on the button that contains the link, this can even be done individually by product/service.
  • Promotionals - Now it is possible to change the behavior of the two promotions located in the Home, so that instead of pointing to a product/service in promotion, they contain a link to any other website or service.
  • Contact - Now you can click on any of the images that appear on the Contact template.
  • We Are - Now you can click on the image that appears on the We Are template.
• New Activation/Deactivation of Items - From now on it is not necessary for you to erase anything, unless you really do not want to use it again. Now you can add everything you want and activate only what you want to use at the moment. This new feature allows for example to have stored images for various occasions and activate only those that correspond to the current situation. This is also a great option to activate/deactivate certain categories or certain products/services that are only offered in special seasons.
  • Carousels - Now you can activate/deactivate the images you want to appear or not in the upper and lower carousels of the Home.
  • Categories - Now you can activate/deactivate the categories of products/services that you want to appear or not on your website. If you deactivate a category, none of its associated products/services will appear on your website, whether they are activated or not.
  • Products - Now you can activate/deactivate products/services individually. Note that active products/services will only appear on your website if the category that groups them is also activated.
  • Configurations - Now you can activate/deactivate promotional images, or the images that appear in We Are template and in Contact template, so they can be used or not in the configurations of your website.
  • Promotional Stamp - From the first version of Vigeowebsite, you could indicate whether or not the promotional stamp should appear on some images of the top carousel of the Home, marking whether the product/service represented by the image was in promotion or not. Now we have extended this to both the categories and the products/services. If a product/service is marked in promotion, by default the promotional stamp will be placed both on the image of the product/service, and on the image of the category to which it belongs. However, with this new feature you can indicate that the promotional stamp does not appear.
    • Categories - If you deactivate the promotional stamp, even if all the products/services of the category are in promotion, the promotional stamp will not appear on the image of the category.
    • Products - If you deactivate the promotional stamp, even if the product/service is in promotion, the promotional stamp will not appear on the product/service image.
• New Introduction of Wildcards - A wildcard is composed of five consecutive dashes (-----) and allows you to change the default operation of certain areas of your website. For example, you can use a wildcard to indicate that a certain product/service does not come from a specific country, the country of origin is unknown or you simply do not want to include the country so that your flag does not appear on the product/service image in the details window. In this new release, we have decided to introduce this feature in the categories and products with the purpose of using it to quickly create independent promotionals that do not depend on any product/service.
  • Categories - To use a wildcard in a new category, just enter five consecutive dashes ----- in the Category Code field. Remember to turn off the wildcard category so that it does not appear on your website. Also note that you only need to create a single wildcard category.
  • Products - To use a wildcard in a new product, just enter five consecutive dashes ----- in the Product Code field. The wildcard product must belong to a wildcard category and the Is Promotion option must be activated. It is not necessary to deactivate the product since you should have already deactivated the wildcard category, you only need to create a single wildcard product.
  • Promotionals -  To create an independent Promotional, it only needs to be related to a wildcard product. The rest of the data is handled as usual. An independent promotional is shown on your website as a standard promotional, the only difference is that the independent promotional has no link, or if the independent promotional has a link and clicks on the independent promotional, it links to a site or service external and not a product/service that is part of a category. If you want to create promotional items that do not point to anything, this is the only option to do so. If you want to quickly create promotionals that do not link a product/service this is also your best option. You can create all the independent promotionals you want from a single wildcard product.
• New Help - We have reconstructed the help to make it even easier and practical, making it easier to find specific tasks and also explaining deeply why and what are the different areas that make up the Dashboard.
  • Help Button - We have added a button with contextual help on each screen.
    • Big Button - Located on the main screens, it shows the help of the visual manual.
    • Small Button - Located on the specification screens, it shows the step-by-step help of the task you want to perform.
  • Help Menu - We have made adjustments to the help to make it more useful, maintaining the grouping by menus but now providing direct links to the tasks that you want to perform, we have also added new sections.
    • About - Explain in detail the topic treated, here you can know: what it is about, why it is there, possible uses and more.
    • How to - Explains step-by-step instructions on how to perform a certain task.
    • Steps - Each of the five steps to build your website maintains its original structure, only now you will find the About and How to, to help you in understanding and performing step by step any task.
    • Manage - Contains help related to the administration of the account of the user who logged in to the Dashboard.
    • Settings - It contains the help of all the preconfigured areas of your website that you generally do not need to touch. However, this section is for all those who wish to delve deeper into the default settings and make finer adjustments to their website.
    • Reference - In Login and Logout section you will find the information needed to log in and log out of the Dashboard. In Dashboard section you will find the information common to the entire application and in Learning section you will find direct links to Guides, Mind Maps and Tutorial Videos.
• New About Vigeowebsite - Now at the end of the Settings menu you can find the new About Vigeowebsite with relevant version information and links to our social media.
