Hello there Oxwallers,
Our community grows. It’s exciting to see this growth since it assures that our work is important, and warrants that Oxwall is here to stay. With user growth some aspects of the community work also need to evolve, and today it’s the Oxwall Store that is affected.
We just released some small and big improvements that I want to introduce. They are based on developers’, designers’ and users’ feedback, and also on our own careful examination of the usage patterns. Let’s look in detail:
My purchases:
- Item list is now divided into Plugins and Themes;
- Search by item name (new);
- Add review for purchased items right there (new).
My items:
- Item list is now divided into Plugins and Themes;
- Search by license key and buyer’s username.
Item listing improvements:
- Oxwall Store now supports version compatibility between items and the platform. From now on every item should state platform versions that it supports, and users will see it;
- Mandatory “Terms of Use” field for items (new);
- Optional “ReadMe” field for items (new).
Suspended items:
- Suspended items are now shown to license holders in “My Items”;
- “Item suspended” page is shown to all but license holders;
- Suspended items can’t be deleted by owners but will be deleted in 4 months unless activated by Store moderators.
Reviews:
- Now authors can not only modify but also delete their reviews.
Apart from these changes there are many tiny things changed to help developers better manage their items.
Policy updates
Last but not least, we have updated Oxwall Store Terms of Use, and added Store Item Policy and Item Review Policy. Everybody is encouraged to actually read this document, it’s written by humans for humans in the most comprehensive way possible.
