Statistics Modules

2018-08-23T07:41:51-06:00November 26th, 2017|

If you have spent any time in our Slack or Gitter then you know there is one thing that drives me crazy, the number of modules it takes to run a thirty bees shop. There are so many modules that are not needed as separate modules. This clutters the page in my opinion and helps to scare off new users. At the same time it makes things harder to find. Do you edit this address in the Block Contact module? The Block Contact Infos? Or is it on the Preferences Store Contacts page? To me, this is just insane. This crowds [...]

Module Road Maps

2018-08-23T07:41:57-06:00November 22nd, 2017|

Over the years I have contributed to a fair number of open source projects, but one thing has always bothered me. Not knowing the direction that the developers want to take with a feature, or how they want to handle adding new features. This lack of communication makes some developers less likely to contribute to a project. I think I have come up with somewhat of a solution. Roadmap.md files While we are reorganizing our module files and getting them setup to work with the automation flows for the thirty bees store, we will be adding a Roadmap.md file to each [...]

We are happy to announce we have released a native integration with Piwik open analytics platform.  This module will allow our users to interface their thirty bees sites with Piwik to provide quick and accurate analytics, while at the same time owning all the analytics data.

Whether this believe is founded or not, we have decided that we need another analytics integration with thirty bees. Now our users have a choice on which analytics platform they want to use with their thirty bees site. [...]

Free modules in our store

2018-08-23T07:43:41-06:00October 15th, 2017|

Over the last several months there has been a lot of time put into the thirty bees store getting it ready for launch. Some of the features we have been developing took a bit longer than we thought, but we feel the wait and extra development time is well worth it. As most of you know, we are a very small team with a few outside contributors. So we have to maximize our time usage to get the most bang for our time buck. But what does this have to do with free modules? A lot. Free module repository We want [...]

Three new cache modules just released

2018-08-23T07:43:53-06:00October 12th, 2017|

We have been some busy bees here lately at thirty bees. Today we are adding three new modules to our growing list of core modules.

New module JSON+LD

2018-08-23T07:48:03-06:00October 9th, 2017|

We are happy to announce we have released a new JSON+LD module this morning. This module has been tested very thoroughly, but is still being released as a beta and it is not in your module feed. There is a download link at the end of this blog post if you want to download and test the module out. So what is JSON+LD? JSON+LD stands for JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data. That doesn't explain much does it? I am sure you are familiar with rich snippets though aren't you? JSON+LD is the new format for replacing microdata rich snippets. Most [...]
