After a couple months of not saying much, we've put a very nice update to RealTimeDesigner online this week.
For those with active RTD sites, no immediate action is needed. Please look over the new features and changes. While you probably won't need everything that we've added, we hope that there's something for everyone. If you need help on any specific topic, please let us know.
-------------------------------
New "IS PAID" field
in Manage Orders and Reports the new field is now used.
It can be set from within the "view order page", on the right.
In Reports you will be able to filter by that field, so that you can show only "paid orders", for example.
"Is Paid" is automatically set to YES in there is a successful payment via PayPal, PayPal PRO and Credit Cards via PayPal Pro
-------------------------------
New PayPal things
PayPal PRO option added.
Now also normal paypal will use IPN. When IPN is received, a notification email is sent to company owner, and paid status for that order is changed to YES.
About PayPal PRO: it will allow customers to use both paypal express and credit card processing.
When using any paypal, order will be saved only after a successful checkout via paypal itself.
------------------------------
USPS shipping options added.
In admin panel, "ONLINE PAYMENT OPTIONS => Shipping costs", we've added "USPS method".
Just like UPS and FEDEX, it works with CSV files.
------------------------------
New Items name
In designer, there's a new field into "admin options".
It allows you to define the name of the Item, instead of the stndard "Text 1" or similar.
It is saved into templates only
------------------------------
Design tools (texts, shape, cliparts, undo, redo...) are now always visible
------------------------------
Better interactive margin tool
Fixed some bugs that changed your hires image size
------------------------------
Product templates in Catalog
When browsing a product in catalog, also product templates will be shown, if any. Previously only general templates showed in the catalog.
------------------------------
Logged in users can now also see past order designs. Previously they could only see their uploaded files.
------------------------------
Changed the "move order" in "View Orders" sum page to be a mass tool with check boxes so that you don't have to move orders one by one.
------------------------------
Added the "still image" option below the image in designer.
Option is product based, defaulted to "disabled".
IT can be found in "Configure Products => Configure Generator", label "Enable "Save still image" button"
Saved image(s) will be in JPG format, designer size.
If multi-side product, all sides will be saved.
Once clicked, user will always get the image(s) for download in a zipfile
Icon for the button is in style setup, named "Command: Save still image"
------------------------------
Added "TEMPLATES OPTIONS => General Templates Links" in admin panel
It allows to create mass links by mixing general templates and products.
At the end, result can be saved also with specialcodes based templates
------------------------------
Added OWN PAGES IN CATALOG
The admin option is in "SYSTEM OPTIONS => OWN PAGES IN CATALOG (LINK BUILDER)"
It will return a direct link to load catalog with an external custom url embedded in it
Can also be used to populate menu links
------------------------------
Added a new parameter in "Styles setup => OTHER STYLE OPTIONS".
The new style param is "Items Box Width (% or px)".
It is defaulted to 100%, which is the value it had hard coded.
You can change it to be a px size (IE, 300px), and all you item boxes will have the very same width.
Icons will eventually wrap in newlines automatically, if all can't remain in a single line
------------------------------
