Really New Features

18 April 2008: The newest Stockashop feature is that the text in the left (and if applicable right) column can be inherited by other pages, and can include images. For instance, you can put in some text or an image into the left column on the home page, and it will then display on all other pages below it which have an empty left column. Or you can change it just for a particular section. If the inheriting isn't working, click Source in the editor to make sure the lower page's left column is indeed empty.

* indiciates that an add-on is required. Bold indicates that the feature is part of the customer management package. Many features are included in the standard Stockashop package but you may need to request us to enable them. Italicised features definitely have to be enabled by Stockashop using CSS.
