We are releasing one of the largest updates to cciDEAL ever, and this is just the beginning for 2014! Please welcome cciDEAL 4.0, the first version of the new cciDEAL generation, with at least 6 new feature releases already planned for the following months!
We started cciDEAL 4 as a major code refresh. With it’s origins in 2008 (cciDEAL Virtuemart) and code rewrite in 2010 (cciDEAL Platform 1.0) it was time to have a good look at our code and do a large cleanup. That is now completed, making cciDEAL 4.0 easier to maintain, support and extend. This was needed because we have big plans for 2014.
And, we even managed to sneak in a few fantastic new features in cciDEAL, read on for screenshots!

To better match the new user interface in Joomla! 3 we have continued converting ccNewsletter layouts to the Bootstrap framework (or JUI as you might know it). In my opinion this improves consistency between Joomla! core and other Joomla! extensions that are based on the same framework. View the screenshot below to get a good impression of these changes.

We have recently released ccInvoices 1.9 with a lot of code improvements and finally: update notifications and one-click “live update” functionality. Read on for screenshots and more information!
Most of our time went into reviewing and updating our code to the latest web development standards. This is an ongoing task. You won’t “see” these changes in the extension output itself, but you should feel them due to the increased stability of ccInvoices and the speed in which we add new features in the future. Part of the code improvements was the continuing conversion of ccInvoices into a user interface based on Bootstrap, just like Joomla! 3.

This week I got the chance to have a look at a new book about Virtuemart 2, called “Building E-commerce Sites with VirtueMart Cookbook“. I was not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised! The book actually explains everything in a way that is easy to understand even for less experienced users.
I liked the fact that the book is not limited to just a boring overview of Virtuemart with the technical facts, but included explanations about SEO (search engine optimization), analytics (with Piwik) and template frameworks (Gantry and Warp). It even has a chapter about Virtuemart alternatives like HikaShop.

Although social media had received a lot of hype in the last years, you should not forget that e-mail marketing is still the most effective online marketing method.
