Joomla 3.8.12 Released

Choosing the right e-commerce platform is essential for your business. In order to thrive online, your business will need an exceptional website, one that seamlessly melds the digital and physical shopping experiences.
Magento and Shopify are two of the most <a href="https://www.inc.com/bill-carmody/top-seven-ecommerce-platforms-in-2018.html">popular e-commerce platforms</a>. Both are great choices for businesses of all sizes. However, it’s good to take an in-depth look at both to see which platform is the best fit for you.
<h2>Magento: an in-depth look</h2>
Magento is a popular <a href="https://www.cminds.com/the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-magento/">open-source e-commerce platform</a>. It’s used by small business and large brands alike as it’s easy to customize and scale for both B2B and B2C businesses.
Some key features of Magento:
<ul>
<li>Ability to create and deploy custom e-shops</li>
<li>Massive marketplace stocked with website themes and useful applications</li>
<li>Search engine optimization</li>
<li>An easy-to-integrate shopping cart system</li>
<li>Intuitive inventory system</li>
<li>Multi-store support</li>
<li>Integration of software tools such as a CRM, an ERP, etc</li>
</ul>
Magento is one of the fastest growing cloud-based e-commerce platforms as well, in part because of its customer support, user-friendliness, and flexible shopping cart system. Magento comes with some essential digital marketing features including search engine optimization and customizable user interface design.
The enterprise e-shopping platform is used by over <a href="https://www.thepixel.com/magento-ecommerce/">200,000 online stores</a>. Magento continues to garner more stores as its services and marketing campaigns expand. Its massive community, replete with application designers, theme makers, and Magento experts, attract e-commerce newcomers.
Magento was recently acquired by Adobe, the American software giant, for <a href="https://news.adobe.com/press-release/corporate/adobe-acquire-magento-commerce">$1.68 billion</a>. Adobe has a rather large developer base, active creative community, and a strong cloud infrastructure. Adobe’s resources will undoubtedly shape Magento. At present, it’s unclear how the partnership between the two companies will change e-commerce as a whole. All we know now is that Magento is bound to benefit.
As attractive as Magento sounds, it’s important to note an important technical detail. Magento is self-hosted so you’ll need to have a bit of web development skill in order to get your e-shop up and running. In fact, you may even need the assistance of a <a href="https://www.developersforhire.com/magento">Magento developer</a>.
It’s also important to note, however, that Magento is open-source (and therefore free to use). You’ll have to pay for hosting, apps, and premium themes, but the use of the platform itself is completely free.
<h2>Shopify: an in-depth look</h2>
Shopify is a Canadian e-shopping platform that allows for multiple sales channels, unlimited inventory, and single-step order fulfillment.
Shopify is an increasingly popular e-commerce platform and a major contender to Magento. According to Shopify, over <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/01/shopify-beats-on-big-revenue-jump-as-it-crosses-500k-merchants/">500,000 merchants</a> are using Shopify in some way, shape, or form and over $65 billion worth of goods have been sold through the platform.
Shopify allows shop owners to:
<ul>
<li>Set up an online store with a custom domain</li>
<li>Customize your online storefront with pre-made, tweakable themes</li>
<li>Accept credit card transactions</li>
<li>Add social media sales channels (like Pinterest)</li>
<li>Track orders</li>
<li>Respond to orders</li>
</ul>
In contrast to Magento, Shopify is hosted. This means they take care of hosting for you. For small business owners without any real web development experience, Shopify could be the best option. This means you’ll have to pay to use the Shopify platform itself, but that most of the technical details are taken care of for you.
Like Magento, Shopify allows users to customize their e-shops with over 100 ready-made themes. Shopify setup is extremely clean and simple to get the hang of for beginners. The e-commerce platform comes with a 14-day free trial so you’ll be able to test out the e-shop solution before committing.
Customer support is provided 24/7 for e-shop owners. So, if you do encounter any problems with the platform, from dysfunctional themes to errors processing payments through the Shopify credit card processing system, you’ll be able to receive help from experts.
Shopify, like Magento, has a dedicated community. So, if you’re looking for tips, tricks, or some help with initial setup, the Shopify community will be able to assist you.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Making an eye-catching website with superb ease-of-use, beautiful digital design, and optimized content is no easy feat.
Building your own e-shop, complete with a dazzling frontend and a dependable backend that takes care of orders and shipments, is nearly impossible on your own. Instead of building from scratch, you can leverage enterprise-grade e-commerce platforms.

Magento vs Shopify: Which Is Right for You

<a href="https://www.dreamhost.com">DreamHost® </a>has launched a WordPress Export Feature built into its proprietary website builder, <a href="https://www.dreamhost.com/website-builder/">Remixer</a>.
Effective immediately, DreamHost Remixer users who are also DreamHost customers have the power to export their sites to WordPress, carrying across all styles, theming and content created within Remixer into a freshly created WordPress website. The new WordPress export tool does away with Remixer’s “walled garden” approach to website content and brings true data portability to Remixer users, aligning with DreamHost’s stance to fight for the Open Web. 
“We’re committed to supporting the Open Web,” said DreamHost’s vice president of product, Remixer, Ralph Castro. “From free speech to free software, to giving our users complete control and ownership of their data, this launch builds on the web’s early promise to help users share their content online on their platform of choice.”
Remixer has embraced WordPress’ new, in-development “Gutenberg” design paradigm, exporting block-based designs and content designed to work with the WordPress of today and tomorrow.
To date, Remixer is the only standalone website builder with the ability to export websites and their content directly to WordPress, making this a noteworthy industry first. More than that, once a DreamHost customer’s site of choice is moved to WordPress with Remixer, they will have the freedom to take their site to any hosting service of their choice. 
“DreamHost customers can use WordPress' own built-in Export tool to take their data anywhere,” explains VP of Corporate Communications for DreamHost, Brett Dunst. “That's one of the great benefits of the Open Web and open technology like WordPress — true data portability.”
Other notable features of the newly updated Remixer website builder include:
<ul>
<li>Unlimited websites: With Remixer, feel free to build as many websites as you’d like all under one plan.</li>
<li>No page limits: Build an unlimited number of pages on your website.</li>
<li>Custom domain name: Assign your own domain name to your Remixer website.</li>
<li>Free stock photos: You’ll have access to gorgeous professional photos via Pixabay.</li>
<li>SEO made easy: Update your SEO-friendly titles and meta descriptions. </li>
<li>Your own media library: Publish photos, videos and audio directly to your site.</li>
</ul>
Like its new WordPress Export feature, Remixer’s unique ability to guide the average internet user through the intimidating process of website building is built on the foundation of the Open Web. The website builder caters to the majority of internet users who don’t know code and whose web experience is limited to sending emails. Whether you need a site for your small business, you professional portfolio, or your creative ventures, Remixer allows you to easily build your foundation and export your creation to WordPress, the home of 75 million other websites.
DreamHost Remixer’s WordPress export tool is in beta and is available at no charge to all new and existing Remixer All Access users and DreamHost Shared Hosting customers. User feedback during this period will be used, as always, to shape the future of Remixer and other new offerings from DreamHost.
<h2>About DreamHost</h2>
DreamHost is a premier Managed WordPress hosting provider, giving over 400,000 businesses, developers and content creators worldwide the tools they need to own their digital presence. Powered by a strong team of industry experts with nearly two decades of advanced web experience, DreamHost is a leader in Managed WordPress hosting.

DreamHost Remixer gets WordPress Export Feature

Nuxeo, the leading cloud-native Content Services Platform, today announced Fast Track 10.2, which includes several updates and adds new features to the core Nuxeo Platform.
Nuxeo 10.2 adds enhanced capabilities for annotations, including the ability for users to annotate office documents, images, videos, PDFs, and AutoCAD documents for review/validation processes or for media enrichment. The latest release of the Nuxeo Platform also features a new Adobe Creative Cloud connector, which has been rebuilt from the ground up to improve the user experience and leverage the full capabilities of Adobe CC 2018.
“The latest release of the Nuxeo Platform further strengthens our foundation for building intelligent solutions that connect information across the enterprise, improving business performance and delivering competitive advantage,” said Chris McLaughlin, chief product and marketing officer at Nuxeo. “Nuxeo 10.2 is an intelligent information management platform that enables enterprises to build personalized business solutions to deliver the right information to the right people at the right time on any device.”
Other updates and enhancements featured in<a href="https://www.nuxeo.com/about/what-is-new/?utm_source=Press%20release&amp;utm_campaign=Nuxeo%2010.2%20announcement"> Nuxeo 10.2 </a>include:
<ul>
<li>Federation Blob Provider: The Nuxeo Platform can now manage binary content “in place” (i.e. content that remains stored in external ECM or EFSS systems). In addition to extending the Nuxeo content federation strategy, this enables customers to get all the benefits of a modern Content Services Platform (scale, search, workflows, automation, and permissions) without the cost and pain of forced migrations.</li>
<li>Metadata Comparison: Nuxeo’s Web UI now offers functionality for comparing metadata values across multiple documents. Accuracy and speed are critical when users must clearly identify granular differences across a lot of data linked to different documents or versions of the same document (e.g. product or catalog use cases). Users can now easily review an entire document or just compare the differing metadata values.</li>
<li>Identifying Similar Content: The Nuxeo Platform now supports “More Like This” type queries, which enables intelligent searchesacross a repository for content that’s close to the content of a given image, document, case or other business object. This is particularly useful in case management projects where finding similar cases can reduce resolution time.</li>
<li>Bulk Actions Framework: When dealing with large volumes of data, even a simple action like updating metadata across the entire repository can take a long time and impact overall platform performance. Nuxeo has streamlined these bulk operations with a Bulk Action Framework built on a Kafka-based streaming infrastructure. This framework allows customers to execute custom actions on millions or even billions of content items easily, and in a highly-scalable and robust manner. This can be particularly useful for enterprises that have high-availability solution requirements, or that have specific needs around bulk or volume processing of content or data.</li>
<li>Avro: Nuxeo Stream now sends Asynchronous Processing Messages in Kafka using Avro. Avro is a standardized way of enabling modern systems to communicate with each other. This allows any service to consume Nuxeo messages in a standardized manner, and its programmatic capabilities enhance the openness of the Nuxeo Platform.</li>
</ul>

Is screen tearing while using Nvidia drivers in Linux driving you nuts? Do you have an Optimus laptop? I believe we may have a solution for you!
I experienced this issue for quite some time before finally finding a fix. This would happen in Ubuntu Mate, Ubuntu and similar distributions where Prime was used as a method to switch between Nvidia and Intel drivers.
Typically on the Intel side of things, everything was fine but as soon as I switched to using my Nvidia driver, all hell would break loose. That was, until I found this solution buried in the Ubuntu forums.
In terminal –
<pre>sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/zz-nvidia-modeset.conf</pre>
<div class="bbcode_container">
<div>Now, you're going to add a line such as the one below, replacing 384 with whichever driver version you are using, Add this line, adjust 375 if using newer driver, ex. 381 or 384 ect.</div>
<pre>options nvidia_375_drm modeset=1</pre>
</div>
Updated for Ubuntu 18.04: I took me a while to find this but if you are using Ubuntu 18.04 or any of it's derivatives and finding the above does not work, it's because prime synchronization does not require the driver number. The proper command should be:
<pre>options nvidia_drm modeset=1</pre>
Save and exit nano
<div class="bbcode_container">
<div class="bbcode_description">Now type:</div>
<pre>sudo update-initramfs -u</pre>
</div>
Reboot and keep your fingers crossed. If all goes well, things should be fixed.
Update for Solus users:
<div>
<div>
<div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Go to /usr/lib/modprobe.d and make a file called zz-nvidia-modeset.conf. You then put the following code within it:</div>
</div>
<div>
<pre>options nvidia_drm modeset=1</pre>
</div>
<div>
<div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">then run </div>
<pre>clr-boot-manager update</pre>
</div>
</div>
Let me know if this works for you or if you have another workaround that has been successful.

A new version of 3dcart is available for store owners and it includes quite a few sexy updates for those of you using (or considering using) the platform.
To start off with, they've introduced Google Pay which allows your customers to use their Google Wallet for transactions either from the desktop or via their Android Phone. This is another great way that 3dcart is making the overall purchasing experience easy for customers.
3dcart also now supports 3-D Secure 2.0 through our integration with Cardinal Commerce, which includes Verified by Visa, Mastercard SecureCode, American Express SafeKey and Discover ProtectBuy.
Another great addition is the ability for customers without PayPal accounts to use the PayPal Express, which allows them to check out as guests without an existing PayPal account.
Furthermore, for those who have stores that wish to integrate a loan solution, Affirm has also been integrated for orders over $50 which means customers can pay in installments but store owners are paid in full immediately.
Check the release announcement over at <a href="https://www.cmscritic.com/3dcart">3dcart</a> for more information on this release.

Brands and their local retailers are moving to digital faster than ever. Weekly promotions, coupons via print offers are being supplemented by digital postcards (landing pages). There is an immediate savings from the hard cost of print and when paired with changing consumer behavior mobile and online shoppers – digital marketers know where to put their brands money. In order to drive additional traffic to their core websites, brands are building promotional <a href="https://rallymind.com/blog/how-to-scale-landing-pages-effectively/">local landing pages</a> to deliver offers. Using localized landing pages, brands are capturing more in-depth information about their local consumers, determining what promotional messages are most effective and gathering key demographic and redemption information to further segment their audiences for future promotions. Why Online Coupons and Offers? According to <a href="https://www.inmar.com/press-release/2017-marks-the-demise-of-print-at-home-coupons-as-digital-redemption-climbs-67-percent/">Inmar</a>, while digital coupons and offers only represent approximately 12 percent of all coupons redeemed, they regularly convert at higher levels between 5 and 20 percent compared to .4 percent for print coupons. In fact, <a href="https://retail.emarketer.com/article/emarketer-forecast-us-consumers-slow-let-go-of-paper-coupons/58fa7500ebd4000a54864b2a">eMarketer reports</a>, “52 percent of adults used a digital coupon in 2017.” Using online targeting and corresponding loyalty program information, retailers are able to better deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time. Utilizing a landing page allows brands to more accurately target their local audience and deliver more actionable information on a landing page. Major brands, using landing pages to market weekly promotions and offers, also find they are able to localize offers and experiment by region or market to test which campaigns perform the best. So where are consumers actively looking for offers and promotions? A recent <a href="http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/news/2015/digitally-disrupting-the-habitual-shopping-routine.html">Neilson study</a> shows, “50 percent of digital coupons and offers are found on brand sites and apps.” With significant investments in core websites and location pages, brands and their local retailers are more determined to drive additional traffic to engage customers and increase revenue. The Mobile Shopper The mobile phone has had a significant impact on the way people shop. Whether shopping online or in a store, shoppers are using their phones to look up competitive pricing, search for coupons or offers or seek additional information like reviews or more in-depth product features before making a purchase. A <a href="https://www.digitalcommerce360.com/2016/05/10/72-shoppers-research-smartphones-buying/">Nielson report</a> finds that “60% of shoppers use their smartphone to find a product first.” Using websites and promotional landing pages, specific to promotions, allows brands to influence shoppers who may not have any particular product in mind. Mobile shoppers in particular can be influenced prior to shopping when they have the ability to send promotional codes or coupons to their phones. Neilson also found that “59 percent of pre-shopping activity was focused on finding sales and coupons.” Using printed ads and email marketing containing specialized mobile-friendly promotional landing pages allows marketers to further increase the success of their campaigns. 

Using Landing Pages to Drive Traffic and Brand Awareness Locally Promotional landing pages are a “creative canvas” allowing brands to inform consumers about the unique benefit the product(s) fulfills. Great page design and visually appealing photos and video conveys the brand benefit in an engaging way while offering incentives to purchase such as a coupon, promotional code, product detail or signing up for future offers and incentives. The key to successfully using promotional landing pages is the ease of designing and publishing promotional landing pages to a single site or multiple local sites. The RallyMind platform has found that brands with 40 or more local or <a href="https://rallymind.com/brand-to-local/">regional landing pages</a> receive 12 times more leads. Nearly every action taken by visitors to the landing page(s) is tracked and made available via API access, allowing marketing teams to make key decisions on campaign direction and advertising channels. Also, <a href="https://rallymind.com/">RallyMind</a> has made it easy to deploy landing pages with a simple spreadsheet thats integrates A/B testing, giving brands even more data to track and drive sales and marketing decisions.

Landing Pages Are The New Print

Fixed in this release:
<ul>
<li>Fixed – Issue with SDK and Windows local development for language packs.</li>
<li>Fixed – Added default “everyone” privacy value for “view_privacy” for SocialEngine official plugins where it was missing. This impacted imported sites.</li>
<li>Fixed – Removed 2CO from the admin payment gateway list as social networks are on the 2CO prohibited list. The gateway is still in the files for any experts that may want to work with it.</li>
<li>Fixed – Profile video browse UI as it was cutting off details and username for long titled videos.</li>
<li>Fixed – Issue with hashtags with a “null” value. (This is not a common issue and most would not have it)</li>
<li>Fixed – Added phrase “From %s %s”;”From %s %s” for Recent Messages widget.</li>
</ul>
Also, do be aware that this version requires your server have a minimum PHP 5.6.31 or above.
