How to update:
The first time each day you log into the admin it will check for the update and if one is available you will have a notice in blue on your Sytist admin homepage

If you have already logged into your admin today, then you won't get the notice until tomorrow. Or you can click Settings in the main menu then UNDERNEATH the left menu click check for update.

Thanks Tim, looks promising. 

Possible bug?

The collection picker does not appear correctly at the bottom of screens on desktops (chromium and FF), but is on android mobile (same) for the client demos (assuming they are on the 5.3 version).     

It is losing the PHP session which is making it change and make it appear to not go into cart which was caused by a new security check.

I've released 5.3.1 that will fix it. 

Click Settings in the main menu then UNDERNEATH the left menu click check for update then you can apply the update. 

Tim - THIS LOOKS AMAZING!  Thankyou!

Would I be correct in assuming any credit is tied only to this gallery and therefore null for any future gallery ( like how the batch coupons are ), or is it simply tied to an account so we need to be aware to delete any unspent credit when the gallery expires?

Thankyou so much!

The credit is tied to the account, not gallery.

Hey Tim, Thank you for the update.

I think there is a major bug after I updated, galleries that already had subject QR passcode , it removed their other details such as what class they were in e.g. Room 1 etc. 

Could you please look into this. 

Thank you  

Tim,

This is great! We offer a Buy All for some of our events. We separate each participant in their own sub gallery after we capture the images as we don't know what will be at the event. If they do a pre-order for a buy all or buy-all w/print like we offer are they able to pick the sub-gallery they want afterwards? OR should we do say a credit and have that apply to their order afterwards? 

old passcode method where you import a csv with passcodes is not working correct and it is assigning the filename as the passcode.

my csv is structed like this

is there a way to rollback the update on our server until this is addressed

Click the Data Fields tab for that gallery. Check the custom fields to enable them and see if they show up then.

There is not a way to sell a buy all with a pre-order. You would either use a credit, or assign free downloads to the gallery if they are getting them all.

There will be an update out today to address that.

awesome thanks for the quick update!

Hi Tim

Looking forward to using the new 5.3 pre-register features, especially the ability to email the qr codes to attendees which will save a lot of time in distribution and administration.

Q: Do you intend for the new features to be integrated for use with the booking calendar at some point in the future? 

I believe they are only available for pre-registration at the moment.  Is that correct? 

Thanks.  

You can already import from special event booking services into the QR Passcodes. There is an option in the import option if there is a special even booking service.

Tim, that makes sense.

Could we bundle a buy all with a print in a collection? We do that already in a separate Season pre-order gallery with no photos. We end up having to manually send the digitals over to the client and then have them pick their print. Trying to streamline to process where they do all the heavy lifting so when we are busy they can get their products quickly!

Or whats the easiest way to have different priced "credits"? Figure we have multiple collections for pre-order that have a "Buy All" and a print to go with it. 

Perhaps in the future, but now not possible.
