It’s great but I don’t understand why there are no Cancel buttons?

Are you referring to our add-on Frontend Manager, there is no “Cancel” button, because it doesn’t automatically save any of the products. If the page gets reloaded, it will automatically keep all the fields blank.

If the product is saved as Draft or published, you can also delete this.
The same concept goes for the coupon also.

Let me know if you need any further clarification.

I understand that… but on everything you can possibly imagine there is a cancel, back or abort button … Why make a customer (which is what a vendor is to us) have to go through to the products and delete a draft… when they could just cancel… ? Alternatively… I would go one better and if the page is reloaded it SHOULD save a draft… so many times you might lose internet connection or spend ages doing something and I always find it great when at actually saves it rather than have to type everything in again…

@theshift1 We get your concern, but our plugin is based on WooCommerce, and WooCommerce itself also doesn’t support this functionality. Moreover, if a page gets reloaded, WooCommerce also doesn’t save that data.

However, we will definitely keep this in mind for our future updates and already informed the team accordingly.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me and informing your team… When you say it is based on Woocommerce I dont understand why this would matter… All you are essentially doing is if you click Cancel is you don’t save product and it returns back to the dashboard.

The idea of your plugin is to generally prevent vendors from having to use anything else other than the dashboard and the options around that. From what I can see everything in your plugin works this way but by not having a cancel button it leaves the only way to Cancel creating one is clicking the “Back” button on the browser… This doesn’t make sense… It should simply have a Cancel or Abort option which would then take it back to the dashboard.

From the other perspective you’ve also got to remember the people using this. I want it so that things are obvious… and everyone must be thinking where is the Cancel button… it’s on every other site / program. They won’t know to click back on the browser necessarily and they don’t want to create loads of drafts products.. (or coupons as that is similar).

They also won’t know, as you say, if the page gets reloaded it won’t save the data… So you stumble across another issue: Someone has spent 10 minutes and they either press refresh, f5, back or close window and it doesn’t give a warning that data will be lost… again a general thing that almost everything does.

It can’t be a big job either my website guy does it for me in 5 mins everytime the plugin is updated…

Please seriously consider my feedback, I rarely spend time doing any feedback, but this is great work you have done and I want to see it work well and continuously improve!

@theshift1 Thank you for providing us feedback regarding our add-on.

Your suggestions will definitely make our add-on more enriched.

We have added these in our future roadmap and will soon make all the plans regarding the features to be included in the plugin.
