MDG Announces WS4D/eCommerce 4.0, Web Server 4D 4.0, WS4D/Developer 4.0 and WS4D/Developer eCommerce 4.0, and WS4D/Banners 4.0 Adds OS X Support, lots of new features. Cary, IL December 22, 2003 -- MDG Computer Services, Inc, a leading developer of web and eCommerce tools for Macintosh and Windows, announced today that it shipped version 4.0 of Web Server 4D and WS4D/eCommerce, its a single application that includes a full featured web server, shopping carts, storefronts, credit authorization, virtual domains, and database publishing. What's New With Version 4.0? Web Server 4D 4.0 adds native OS X support. No longer is classic required to run WS4D. This has been the number one feature request from our current customers and a simple upgrade process is available without losing any entered data or changed HTML. MDG delivers a simple upgrade path to OS X. There are many enhanced database commands which can simplify database navigation for users. Sorted headers allows users to click on a header to change the sort order. A search selection tag allows users to search on the already displayed selection. A SearchAgain tag allows users to change the view of the database, without having to do the search again. A silent post feature allows you to post your added records to another server or even the same server (to add 1 record to 2 databases. For those of you that use the Configurable database, you can now get an email every night when ever a database has been changed during the day - this is great to send an email to a list server whenever records have been added. Also, you can upload databases via a browser instead of one record at a time. A New XML option allows you to take WS4D database results and return them in XML. WS4D provides automatic Robots.txt support. You no longer have to place a robots.txt file in all your directories or folders. WS4D will serve one up automatically on the fly when requested. This will aid in getting search engines to index your site Finally, WS4D includes support for LiveSync4D. LiveSync4D allows WS4D to mirror its database to another database, giving your a backup or mirror of your existing database. What's New With WS4D/eCommerce WS4D/eCommerce 4.0 supports AuthorizeNet's Advanced Integration Method (AIM) for processing credit cards. Since WebLink will be going away sometime in 2004, this gives those using AuthorizeNet the option to keep using AuthorizeNet. A brand new Affiliate program is now part of WS4D/eCommerce. WS4D/eCommerce 4.0 now supports a style sheet (css) that can be applied per storefront to the standard shopping folder. For those that do not have many products OR want a faster and simpler way to order a few products, WS4D/eCommerce now offers a single page order form. This single page allows the product to be selected and he customer information to be entered on one page. WS4D/eCommerce offers enhanced auto publishing support. Every night a URL for your eCommerce products will automatically be sent to Google for indexing.
