Well, some time has gone by since we released our last extension. But the waiting has an end now. We are happy to announce the release of our latest extension within the velite family, called Superflow for Magento.
 
If you own an iPod or an iPhone you might already be familiar with the extension’s concept. Superflow lets you highlight featured products. You can embed it for example on your store’s homepage. Basically Superflow has all features included you might already know from our quite popular extension Magento Productslider. This means it already has features like scoping (“multiple instances”) included. And besides that it provides many new features like setting the colors of each panel or interactive element as well as JavaScript callbacks. So this extension is highly customizable and brings fun, for you and your clients.
 
Enough said, check out the Superflow Demo. Magento Superflow is available from now on for an amount of USD 99,00 per single license.

As we already mentioned in the last post, we have released a new version of our Magento Productslider extension, which is currently 1.5.3.
 
First of all, we did some code refactoring and elminated bugs that customers told us about. Beside that, the biggest improvement is the possibility of multiple sliders within your store, we call it "scoping". That means, that it is now possible to embed the Productslider on different shop pages and show different products in each one. We differ in target-based scoping and category-based scoping. You can read more about this in the updated Productslider documentation.
 
If you are already a customer of us and purchased a copy of Magento Productslider you can send us an E-Mail with your personal serial number, to get a copy of the latest Productslider version. We also provide an updated documentation on how to handle the new features. If you wish to, we do the update process for an update fee of 50 USD.

That’s a good question indeed. You might haven’t heard from us for a while now, at least when you don’t follow us on Twitter. Well, some things were going on in our private lifes… so, for my part I relocated to Stuttgart City and Simon took some time-out in France. However, I write this blog post to get you up-to-date and let you know what happened and what’s on our roadmap for the next months.

Magento Teaserbox

First of all, our Magento Teaserbox extension surpassed 1.500 downloads. That’s even more than we expected. Thanks to everyone giving us positive feedback, we even want to thank these ones who made us almost go mad by weird support requests. That made us learn how we won’t handle Community Extensions in future.

Magento Productslider

The next news is concerning our Magento Productslider extension. Simon just finished debugging and test runs for the release 1.5.3 which contains some nice new features like the usage of multiple sliders within your store (we call it “scoping”) or the option to disable watermarking, in case you make use of that.

Website Relaunch

Another big milestone is the upcoming relaunch of our corporate website velite.de, which will be totally implemented on Magento Software. We’re currently doing the screendesign and its layout grids. The relaunch will hopefuly go live in the mid of november, bringing you the advantages of Magento and even more great features.

Meet Magento

Well, we will participate in the Magento event Meet Magento on November 2nd in Frankfurt, Germany. We’re kinda excited to meet all the people, we already got in contact with virtually and those we heard about. There will be some real nice speeches, too many to take part in all of them. Just having the hope to see online screencasts afterwards.

Miscellaneous

We will for sure update our extensions Magento Superstage and Teaserbox as well. There will be a commercial version of Teaserbox available, as we already published some weeks ago. New extensions are also to be done, the next one will be Magento Mediabox, which handles the product images and its thumbnails in a nicer way than Magento default does it. Well, that’s it so far.
