Sytist 4.4 Upgrade Now Available

View detailed information about this update in the changelog here.

Some of the things included in this update:  

• A new method of downloading multiple photos in a zip file has been developed that no longer has to split into multiple zip files, gives an estimated process time and more. Learn more.
• Added the ability to download original photo files from multiple orders from the order list in the admin
• Added Stats -> Photo Downloads. This will show all photos downloaded from the site which includes free downloads, purchased downloads and downloads with download credits. 
• Added to the Stats & Sales section of a gallery to show total free downloads, purchased downloads, downloads with credits and links to the photo downloads stats for those just from that gallery.
• Added the ability to disable address fields when someone is only purchasing download photos. Settings -> Account Requirements.
• Added the ability to see active shopping carts for specific galleries in the Stats & Sales tab of the gallery and the option to delete all carts associated with that gallery.

How to update:
The first time each day you log into the admin it will check for the update. If you have already logged into your admin today, then you won't get the notice until tomorrow.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the update, especially because of the good stats and new way to handle downloads. But the zip downloading isn't working after the update: when clicking a download all option (in gallery or in admin) nothing happens. In a gallery it shows a spinner, but no popup appears..

EDIT: I'm using php 8.1. No difference in 8.0, but in 7.4 it works, but without good text dialogs. And can't find a place to edit page text for the new features. Something went wrong with updating?

Edit 2: Now it shows 'Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "_seconds_" in /var/www/vhosts/.....' when clicking a download all option.

Pleas email me the following for me to look into it. I've had no issues with PHP 8:

• 1) The link / URL to your Sytist admin (where you log into your Sytist admin).
• 2) The admin username and password (or create me an admin account by clicking Admins in the upper right corner of the admin pages).
• 3) FTP username and password.

Try the 4.4.1 update out this morning first. 

When I tried the all download it said it would be 60 secs to ready the zip, I waited over an hr and nothing.  Don't know if it is part of the problem I am having with my hosting or just the sytist program.

If you don't see the progress bar move then there is an error somewhere. You can email me the following for me to look into it: 

• 1) The link / URL to your Sytist admin (where you log into your Sytist admin).
• 2) The admin username and password (or create me an admin account by clicking Admins in the upper right corner of the admin pages).

This feature:

• Added the ability to see active shopping carts for specific galleries in the Stats & Sales tab of the gallery and the option to delete all carts associated with that gallery

is going to be very useful to me - thanks for including it in the update Tim. 

My school galleries changes from a full price list to a digital image only price list on a certain date.  Previously, customers with baskets from the full price list were still able to check out.  This is going to prevent that problem.  

Is it possible to now automate deleting all baskets when a gallery deadline has passed?

new account email now contains the following random string “rnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrn“

stops nothing but is strange

You're welcome.

There is no automated way to delete the carts when the gallery expires at this time.

I don't see anything like that. Screenshot?

this is what I am getting

• Added the ability to disable address fields when someone is only purchasing download photos. Settings -> Account Requirements.
• Added the ability to disable the option to create an account when only purchasing download photos, overriding the default settings. Settings -> Account Requirements. 

thanks for the new feature introduced, if I could foresee it also for "other" it would be a complete and concluded package.

I'm super happy to see this...

"

• Removed the quantity option for buy all downloads in the buy all popup."

...but I can't find where to do that.  Please help.

Thanks!

You don't have to do anything. It is removed for download buyalls.

Great...this makes us happy
