What's new for users

 » A better sign up screen

We improved the signup screen to make the registration on a Noosfero environment cleaner and prettier.

Also, we included some tips that are displayed when the new user is filling in the fields and javascripts validations to save user's time.

» Description of product's price

Some enterprises becomes more reliable when the price of their products are fully described. With Noosfero, besides describing the list of inputs and raw materials used on the product/service, the enterprise administrator also can describe the other costs that affect the final product/service price  The price composition can be defined on the product's page by the enterprise administrator. The progress bar indicates whether the price is fully described or not.

If the product's price is fully described, the item Price composition will be displayed under the product's image. Clicking on it you will see all the product's costs.

» Redesigned product's catalog for enterprises

The enterprise's products are displayed in a catalog page completely redesigned! Information about description, price composition and inputs and raw materials are displayed only when the user clicks on it, giving more emphasis to the products.

 » New plugins

Plugins are a great way to add features without having to worry with the existing infrastructure.

• Tracker and web analytics for people and communities

 » Small enhancements

Now if an unauthenticated user comments on an article, his Gravatar image is a link to his profile on Gravatar where the picture can be changed.

Another enhancement made is on visualization of menu and profile's balloons. We disabled the sliding effect and now the menu and balloons are displayed as soon as they are clicked.
