native modules

Its been a while since the crowd funding of the Git Updater module finished. Don't worry, we did not forget about the module, we have actually made some great progress with the module and are ready to start sharing the beta version of the module. The Git Updater module will usher in a new era of thirty bees. Since many people are not familiar with how the update process works, let me explain it a bit. In the current update process to update thirty bees, we need to create what are called file actions. We have a huge list of file [...]

As we are finishing up our GDPR module, I would like to point out that we do have a solution already that will make most sites GDPR compliant.   Setting Cookiebot up Once you install the module, you will need to go to the Cookiebot site and register. Once you sign up for an account, you should see a screen like the one below. Cookiebot will send you a registration key by email, you will need to enter that key here. Then you can start setting Cookiebot up. The module will ask you for your Domain Group ID. This is somewhat [...]

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 [...]

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. Some of our users have expressed that they do not trust Google with all of their 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. [...]

We are proud to announce that our Indiegogo funded Elasticsearch module is now stable enough to be beta tested by our community. If you have a development version of your site and would like to provide feedback on the module, we need you. I would like to say again, this module is a beta version, it is not stable enough for and does not have the all the features you will need in production. That being said, lets get to testing. What is Elasticsearch? In case you haven't been following the search topics on the forum and our Indiegogo project, Elasticsearch is [...]

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. By now most users know that we focus a great deal on performance at thirty bees. The new modules are no exception to that. They are managers for the most popular server side caching systems that thirty bees users use. The three modules are Memcache Manager, Opcache Manager, and APCu Cache Manager. The new modules are not for increasing performance in your shop per se, they are to help you manage the caching system that you [...]

You might remember a few weeks ago we did a poll on which module we should crowdfund. The answer was overwhelmingly the Elasticsearch module. We started the campaign today and we are really excited to see how it goes. Check it out and if having an awesome free search in your shop is something you are interested in, please donate to our campaign. Donate to the ElasticSearch Module Campaign   The plans If we exceed our goal by $1000 we are going to also expand the blog module as discussed in our post here.  If we exceed the goal [...]
