OX6:OX6-Upsell

Upsell Gui

Introduction

The Open-xchange Upsell packages provide the ability to show the OX user advertisements for different OX features which are only available when he upgrades his account to a higher level of access rights like "Groupware" or "Mobility". It also enables hosting companies to easily integrate their online shopping system into Open-Xchange to directly sell features without actually leaving the Open-Xchange application / Gui. The upsell layer window will be shown if the user clicks on a deactivated feature like calender/infostore etc.

We have implemented 3 different types of upsell possibilities:

• Show the Upsell Layer window and trigger the upgrade via a generated email
• Show the Upsell Layer window and open a configurable URL including all needed parameters after the user clicked "buy" or "trial.
• Directly display a configurable URL/Online SHOP (systemwide or/and per context configurable) within the upsell Layer window instead of standard OX upsell content

The upsell layer has full i18n (EN and DE are included) support integrated and offers following components for advertisement:

• Text
• Video
• Screenshots

to promote a certain feature for Open-Xchange.

Installation

• Download and install following OX upsell packages from the corresponding repository:

open-xchange-upsell-multiple
open-xchange-upsell-multiple-gui

After installation of these packages, you have installed one server side plugin and one gui-plugin. If you have dedicated apaches running in your setup, only install the "open-xchange-upsell-multiple-gui" package on them. The upsell layer is now available to ALL contexts/users of this OX application server/gui instance.

Configuration

Once installed, all nessecary configuration can be done in one single file. This file can be found at the following directory on the OX application server:

/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/upsell.properties

Switching between the 3 different types of the upsell layer, edit parameter:

com.openexchange.upsell.multiple.method=

Possible values: "direct", "static" or "email".

direct = Redirect within IFRAME immediately to parameter "com.openexchange.upsell.multiple.method.static.shop_redir_url" or to the context specific URL value after clicking one of the upsell triggers.

Adding new feature (e.g. video, screenshot)

• Open register.js (located in gui folder)
• Search for upsell.config.features
• add the following code ( description inline )

featurename: {
  name: ["trigger element"],
  title: _("upsell window title"),
  product_name: _("feature headline"),
  intro: _("upsell description text"),
  list: {
    list_item_1:  _("enumeration"),
    list_item_2:  _("enumeration"),
    list_item_3:  _("..."),
  },
  outro: _("upsell text that shows at end"),
  videos: {
    video_1: {
      thumb: "name_of_video_thumbnail.png",
      video: "name_of_video_file.swf"
    }
  },
  images: {
    image_1: {
      thumb: "name_of_image_thumbnail.png",
      image: "name_of_lightbox_image.png"
    }
  },
  buttons: {
    trial: {
      content: _("buttonlabel"),
      action: "put javascript actions here if any"
    },
  },
  checkboxes: {
    invite:{
      content: _("checkboxlabel"),
      action: "put javascript actions here if any"
    }
  }
},

    },
