IPR Statement Updated

Claymore Project users should note that the Intellectual Property Rights compliance statement has been updated to cover third party channel content distributors.

Green Fees Information for Golf Clubs

As part of ongoing enhancements to The Claymore Project we have added a new Green Fees section for Golf Clubs which ensures it is clear what each field should be used for. Previously Green Fees information was stored in the Facilities field but now Clubs can ensure the Facilities field gives details about cart hire and catering etc. while the Green Fees field provides pricing information.

The first website to take advantage of this will be the Scotland's West Coast Golf Links project and it will also form a Core part of our forthcoming Sitebuilder Lite for Golf Clubs product.

Already in the pipeline for future development is a full Green Fees Module which will allow Clubs to easily add their information in a uniform format which is important as the details can be published on several websites at any one time including Scotland's For Me and any other destination or channel marketing websites that feature your Club.

Catering Information for Golf Clubs

As part of ongoing enhancements to The Claymore Project we have added a new Catering section for Golf Clubs. This allows Clubs to split Catering out of the existing Facilities area and provide more detail about the Catering service available to Members and Visitors.

History & Herritage Field for Claymore Project Golf Clubs

Golf Clubs can now enter information about their History & Heritage as part of their details. This field was created specifically for the Scotland's West Coast Golf Links project which will use information from The Claymore Project to drive their website.

The History & Heritage field will be integrated with other channel websites including Scotland's For Me in the near future.

Administration Area Updated With New Business Overview Field

A new Business Overview field has been added for all users. This allows 800 characters of plain text to provide a concise description of your business activities, main markets and notable products, services or clients.

Access to the Global Meta Tags has been moved to the Administration Area as part of a usability update to the system. All items in the Administration Area will become compulsory in the near future to ensure uniform coverage of all businesses via third party channel websites.

White Labeling Underway

As part of the drive to release The Claymore Project as a White Label product all references to the Web company behind The Claymore Project have been removed from the admin panel. Work on the public area of the website has been scheduled to remove remaining references.

These changes will allow developers to seamlessly resell The Claymore Content Management System to their clients providing a powerful sytem in a very short timeframe.

Tests were performed this week to ensure that alias access via a sub domain or generic domain can be provided in future as well. For example, resellers could provide CMS access to their clients via:
  • the client's own domain eg. cms.myclientsdomain.com
  • a single generic domain registered by the reseller for CMS access for all their clients eg. cms.resellercms.com
A single generic domain is the recommended option as it will ensure minimum maintenance to reseller's client's domains is required in future.

Business Logos in The Claymore Project

As part of the effort to roll The Claymore Project out as a white label content management system a small update was pushed to the website on Thursday. Where a specific company logo has been set for your business it will be displayed after you login to The Claymore Project in place of the Claymore logo. This is particularly useful for those who provide content management for their clients via Claymore.

Header logos can only be set by Admin users at this time.

Avatars For All Claymore Project Users

The number of third party channels using data from The Claymore Project is increasing which has prompted the addition of Avatars for all Claymore Users. Avatars are small images that capture the essence of your business and are usually dislayed next to your business name and address or map location on a particular third party website your business is associated with.

Avatars can currently only be set by Admin users.

Premium Module Access and Backup Module Launch

We pushed another series of updates to the Claymore Project Admin website this afternoon. One of the most significant change is that Premium Modules are now available for purchase on an individual basis. Access to the modules is granted specifically by an Admin user, those without access will find details of each module's features along with pricing information.

The new Backup Module has also been launched with this update. This Module keeps your data secure by allowing you to download a backup of your website data including text, images and any uploaded files. All of this is neatly packaged in a single zip file which you can store on your own system. Access to the Backup Module can be enabled for an annual fee of £75.
