We have just added a new feature that allows you to issue a discount coupon. When someone shops at your web site with the correct coupon code, you can configure Web-store-buddy to give the shopper either a fixed amount off their order, or a percentage discount.

In your web form, those fields that are not set as “required fields” may or may not be completed by the web user.

 What to do with those blank fields?

Previously Web-form-buddy would include the field in the form data list, but with the “~” character to signify the field was blank. This might look like so:

Name ~ Peter Smith
Email ~ peter@gmail..com
Address ~ ~
City ~~
Country ~ USA

In this case, the “City” & “Country” fields are blank fields.

Now we’ve added the option for Web-form-buddy to suppress blank fields if you prefer.  Using the same example, you would now receive data like this:

Name ~ Peter Smith
Email ~ peter@gmail..com
Country ~ USA

To select this option just navigate to the form’s “data options” settings.

We are pleased to announce the addition of a new file upload option for Web-form-buddy.

As usual with Web-form-buddy, you have no special coding to do or software to install. Just select the file upload option for your form using your control panel and - heh presto! - you’re done.

You can limit the size of the file upload you will accept and you can define the types of file that can be uploaded (e.g. you could limit the file types to image files of the type .jpg, .gif, or .png). You can also choose whether to offer the file upload as required or just optional.
