Sytist 5.1 Upgrade Now Available

View detailed information about this update in the changelog here.

Some of the things in the upgrade include:

• Added the option for pre-orders: "Customers will return later to select photos for ONLY PRE-ORDERED DOWNLOADS to download those photos.". This way they can get their downloads even if they are not selecting photos for prints. It is in the Settings section of your Price Lists. 
• Added Pre-Order Account Credits
• Added "Show only orders with downloads" in the sort section when viewing orders from a gallery to only show the orders with downloads. 

• Added Pre-Register text & success text on a per gallery basis. 
• Added if a gallery set to QR Passcodes & Pre-Register, you can have visitors pre-register and supply information like subject name, and additional fields that tie in with the QR Passcodes system and automatically generates passcodes. 
• Learn more about the Pre-Register update. 
• Updated downloading photos in zip files that if the total size of the zip file goes beyond 3GB, it will automatically create multiple zip files. 4GB is the max that can be generate, so this resolves the issue with it being too large. The size it starts to generate multiple zip files can be set in Settings -> Photo Settings. 

And more. Please see the complete changelog here.

Hi Tim

After this 5.1.0 update, when adding via ftp some keyworded photo's, there are still no keywords processed. In stock sections, the text part that shows the keywords disappears completely. 

Download this zip file.

Unzip it and upload the included 2 files into your sy-admin folder on your website overwriting the existing ones either with your FTP program or the file manager in your hosting control panel. This will fix it.

We completed the update last week, and now our customers are reporting an error when trying to process credit card transactions. This error was not received prior to the update, and is likely connected to the Square API connection. Any thoughts

Hi Tim

It seemed to work, but after uploading 104 photos with ftp processing to a stock section, it seems to have other bugs now. keywords from one or some photos are added to other photo's in that upload session

This is for paying invoices.  Fixed in the 5.1.1 update released this morning.

When you did the last update, you didn't do the last step, editing the theme and save, so the CSS file wasn't rebuilt as needed. I have done that and it is working now.
