Create Popular Products
The mission of the product addon manager is to allow programmers to develop custom add-ons, products and solutions for clients utilizing the ILance software. As ILance is our primary product, many other unique add-ons have already been created. Check out our products page for futher information.
A Closer Look at the Template Plugin System
As shown below, the templates used in the framework include numerous template api hooks (aka code placement strings) allowing you to write your own xml plugin files without the need to hard-code or hand-edit changes. The purpose of the template hook parser is to allow you to customize portions of your templates and easily be able to upgrade your templates if a new version of ILance is released.
Installation
While ILance provides massive features in its base framework alone, the add-ons and components section offers continued development for your marketplace. PHP developers have a unique and consistent method of creating customized add-ons in the form of XML Product files. ILance provides administrators with the ability to un-install product add-ons that have been previously installed via Product Upload Manager. Easily uninstall product add-ons by selecting the component you wish to uninstall from an easy to use drop-down menu.
Upgrade Manager
The upgrade system will auto-detect the currently installed addon version vs the new upgrade version and will apply changes without the loss of any addon data.
XML Product Releases
ILance provides product developers with an easy to use XML markup logic that allows definable "Addon Tabs" for sections within new products. Creating new product add-ons has never been so easy before giving admins complete control.
You won't find this control in any other marketplace software or solution!
Generated Product Tabs
Using the demonstration code above clearly represents how the tab GUI interface is reflected within the example below. The "Forum", "Moderate" and "Settings " tabs within the "LanceBB" product provide additional management areas for that installed addon, which is completely customizable to the developers vision.
