This module allows you to build an online store with Fuzzle CMS. eCommerce module processes user actions very fast, as all changes are made within one page without reloading it or forwarding users to other pages of the website. Nothing will interrupt your customers from shopping now!

eCommerce module design is constructed like a Lego from the following widgets:

• Add to basket button, that has adjustments like product name, amount, price by one item. Also, there is a possibility to go to shopping cart in one click;
• automatically refreshing Link to Basket, that can show total price,  number of items in a basket or something else on your choise;
• Basket, actually. Customers can change the amount of each item in a basket and delete unwanted items;
• The button for Clearing the basket;
• The button of Processing the order.

We insistently advice you to consider a demo page of new Fuzzle’s eCommerce module (thus you’ll have the better visual understanding of its usability). Later on, we will share an API of this module to encourage third party developers to create their own widgets for eCommerce websites.

Yours faithfully,

Fuzzle CMS Team.

New product of Fuzzle CMS developers, FLAscheme,  is based on a Flash technology and allows creating and editing diagrams right on your website in a fascinating way – using visual editing. The system provides a wide range of tools for scheme construction: large collection of designer’s icons, various types of arrows and pointers, text fields. Creating new element requires just 2 mouse clicks, and then you can move them by simple drag and drop.  All icons and arrows are drawn by professional designers, so there is no need to search for them in the internet or give additional work to your designer.

Watch this video to learn the process of diagram creation using FLAscheme:

Each element can be decorated with frames of different size and color, with a background or outer glow. Also, FLAscheme affords to supply blocks with tooltips. Shortcuts will help you to achieve even better speed of diagram creation.

Where use of the diagrams most appropriate? First, it is business process description, when you need to create effective team collaboration between co-workers and partners. For instance, by drawing a detailed scheme of two department’s interaction, you can save a lot of time that could be spent on a word description. Later on you and others will be able to edit the scheme at any time.

Second, such system can be successfully used in multiple user generated content websites and corporate wiki-style documentation projects thanks to pretty easy visual editing feature. The most striking example of multiple user generated content system is Wikipedia, the internet encyclopedia. Also there is a lot of other user edited websites, based on wiki engines. FLAscheme can be integrated into such system, adding one more degree of freedom – ability to create editable diagrams.

Currently FLAscheme contains modules for MediaWiki, WackoWiki and WikkaWiki, soon the module for Drupal will arrive. FLAscheme developers claim their product can be integrated in any CMS and give a detailed scheme of how to perform it.

You can test FLAscheme online on a demo page. To get a better understanding of what scheme types can be constructed using FLAscheme look at a number of cases: business diagram, website prototype and funny scheme. You can get an unlimited free version for home use or free 15-day trial to install on your website on a “Download FLAscheme” page. Purchasing the system you have to pay only once.

Schematize your information for better team collaboration!

Faithfully yours,
Fuzzle Team

We Fuzzle developers have released new “spring widgets” for you. Now we’ll describe the widgets in numerical order.

First widget, RSS reader, is designed for feeding your blog, Twitter or any other web source of information to Fuzzle site. RSS Reader allows to adjust not only technical parameters like number or daily posted news, data, time and headline format, but also the appearance of the widget. You can set the design for RSS Reader block, choose the behavior of news strings on mouse over and on mouse click. Look at the sample RSS Reader at Fuzzle homepage. Install this widget at your site and share your good news!

By the means of the second widget, 3D Vertical Cover Flow, you can show photos at your site in an entirely new way. 3D graphical interface Cover Flow (that got a wide spread occurrence at Apple products) allows to smoothly turn photos over in vertical direction. The order of showing the pictures is defined by the user. Fuzzle site administrator can choose the pictures for widget, supply them with text descriptions and adjust the size and appearance of each widget’s element. For instance, choose a relative size of text field, large images field and preview images field.

Also, the absolute size of image previews and decoration effects for all images can be set.

The third and the last widget is well known musical MP3 player. But only in multimedia Fuzzle CMS MP3 player has highly adjustable decoration effects:

• you can choose any color gamut you want;
• you can set track strings state on mouse over and mouse click;
• you can even select block appearance.

Taking into account that you also can easily change player size, select the gap between the track strings and music start mode, we could surely say that MP3 player will have a splendid integration with your website design.

We sincerely hope our users will appreciate this new feature. Site templates is a convenient and rather inexpensive way to create site design for the minimum of time. With a ready-made template you just have to fill your web site with appropriate content and images. Though, using site template doesn’t mean you couldn’t make some changes in site design (and even completely modify it).

Out templates store contains 5 wonderful templates by now.

Among these 5 templates there are templates that will ideally suit for personal site, online business card for a photostudio,  hotel web-page or day SPA site. For intance, 360 panoram template gives a  possibility to put a detailed sphere panorama at the home page. Template from  SPA-salon category affords to create pleasant atmosphere for site visitors thanks to beautiful music and aesthetic transitions between the pages (made with so called splash screens appeared in 3.5 version). You can view templates in detail at http://fuzzletemplates.com page. This page will be constantly updated with new templates. To see a sample web site made using any of presented teplates, click “View in FULLSCREEN mode” button.

Web designers are welcome to create new templates for Fuzzle having a certain percentage of the profit. We are also interested in mutually benefitial cooperation with web studios, that can have 20% of revenue. Thus, by selling a licensed copy of Fuzzle CMS with a template, the stidio can receive (475€+75€)*20% = 110€.

In association with Pho.to project we propose you to open a photo lab for making photo collages at your Fuzzle-site. Put the photos in frames in homely phrase. In fact, this skill is not available to everybody.

Look at 5 more examples of photo collages. And 200 more photo effects that you can easily place on your website. New Year, Love, Travelling, Nature and other themes are represented. Photo can be inscribed either into a frame, or several photos can be added into one collage. Some templates support 3D transitions of uploaded photos. Thanks to intellectual face detection algorithm putting the face into “facial” templates is as easy as ABC.
