Coming Next Week – Module Manager and CRED Commerce

Next week is going to be intense for Toolset. We are releasing two new components, that have been in the making in the last few weeks.

Module Manager

The Module Manager will make it so much nicer to reuse your work, as well as get completed functional blocks from us.

Modules can contain everything that you set up in Toolset. This includes custom post types, field groups, Views, Content Templates and CRED forms.

For instance, take our Magazine site:

Magazine reference site
Magazine reference site

It includes a homepage slider, related stories and other module. We built this site like we would build any Toolset site. Then, to make the different elements portable between sites, we wrap them in modules.

Now, we can simply click Export on one site and import on another and we get the complete elements. I’ll write a lot more about this next week and also include a video that shows how it works.

CRED Commerce

CRED Commerce will make it possible to include payments with Toolset sites. When visitors submit forms, you can send them to pay. When payments complete, you update the status of the submitted form.

Here is how to use CRED Commerce to on a classified-ads site:

  1. Visitors go to a form for creating a new ad
  2. They fill the details and submit
  3. Then, they go to the payment page and pay for the ad
  4. When payment completes, the ad status changes to published

CRED Commerce creates a new section to CRED forms:

CRED Commerce
CRED Commerce section in the form editor

You can choose the product for the form and what to do when payment completes.

CRED Commerce is built for developers. The GUI will let you do the basic setup and get payments working. A complete API will help you further customize things and get it just right for your application.

We’ll be creating a fully functional classifieds ads site together with CRED Commerce. It will include the payments workflow, client account management and access control.

Happy Easter

In the meanwhile, we all like to with you a very happy Easter. Rest well and prepare for lots of new stuff next week!

  1. Congrats, team! Good job. Module Manager looks very interesting indeed– also has a nice UI.

    I was looking at that CRED Commerce screenshot you provided and noticed that small, monochrome help icon– it’s looking cool and modern. Please use that across Toolset (and WPML) instead of the current blue one that’s coming from the 90’s, which really doesn’t look nice at all. I believe I already posted about this at some other article 🙂

    You might think this is a tiny thing, who in the world will ever notice that?! Maybe because I’m mostly a designer and focus on “pretty” things, but it’s these little details that put the finishing touches on products and make them look more professional and a pleasure to use.

  2. Having problem trying to filter. I used shortcode filter and the query returns the the whole db without filtering.

    Anyone else too?

    • Have you posted about it in our technical forum? We would need a bit more information in order to understand what’s wrong and help you.

  3. Hi – I’m not getting any notifications for any Toolset Plugin updates … should I be?

    If needed how would I go about updating Toolset Plugins manually then?

    Thanks!

  4. I actually only received the update notification for Types, but not Views and CRED.

    I keep rechecking but nothing. wordpress.org updates work fine though.
    Looks like Installer plugin is having hard time knowing there are updates.

    I’m reluctant to do a manual update; that’s why we installed Installer in the first place.

    • That shouldn’t happen. Are you sure that you are logged in to wp-types.com repository? You can see it in Settings->Repositories. If you’re logged in and still not seeing an updated version, please let me know.

      • Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m logged in. I keep checking since yesterday, but no notifications yet. This shouldn’t happen, I know (and it didn’t happen before) but it actually is happening now.

        Also, when I click “Install plugins from Toolset” in Settings > Repositories, I still see the old version numbers of the plugins in the table. Something’s not right, I see Laura above me is also having difficulties.

        • I’ve got a related issue: I do get plugin update notifications for Views / Cred, but get this message: “To update this plugin, first log-in to Toolset.” Clicking on the link shows me a modal page to login, but with a greyed-out form (so I cannot fill out my credentials).

          The installer is installed, and I am logged in at the repositories section.

          Is it safe to update manually and overwrite the entire cred/views plugin folder?

          • Yes, it’s safe to update manually. I’m writing an email to you and Bruno, who’s recently become responsible for our Installer plugin. Bruno should be able to help with this, so that automatic updates work too.

  6. BTW, I just noticed in Views changelog “Added logged_in and role options for wpv-current-user shortcode”.
    What does that do exactly? I can’t find anything about that in the documentation… yet.
