www.discountsignshop.com - we rely entirely on SEO and repeat orders. magneticsigns.com and stickerz.com lead to the same place. If you can define the process you need, step by step in comparison to what rtd does now, we will either guide you on how to do it or try to change the code as needed.

Loading New Templates? Not sure what you mean. New Templates are created by "drawing" designs using text and clipart. Are you trying to load an existing template? Or perhaps you are trying to upload new Clipart? Either way, we will need more specifics - your site name included. mark at magneticsigns dot comby magneticsigns - General Discussion
We need more info - your site name, the product being ordered, etc. Thanks Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
I've configured the font groups.... Neatest part of this that I didn't realize was the ability to put one font in several groups... Neat! You can see what I did here. Stickerz designer screen Also changed my buttons and added an external border to the design frame. (used Image Cut version 1.5 to slice the external border into the required pieces). Your comments are welcome. Mby magneticsigns - Announcements from the RealTimeDesigner Team
Sure - check out the EXPORT TEMPLATES - you should include something like this code in the box for SIDES line1: width: height: color1: font1: This will export all the info about line 1, use similar code for line 2, etc. You can also do the same for cliparts using these special codes: Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
I'm seeing the same black/gold logo in your designer that is loaded in your admin panel. It could be a case of caching on your own computer. If not, please send us a link to the image and we will upload it for you. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion

Here's our first real attempt at writing a comprehensive manual for RTD. It's basically done through page 54 of 68. The remaining pages are being written in conjunction with the latest updates that Alex has been speaking of. As soon as he finishes the coding (and teaches me all the details) I will write up the final chapters. MS WORD FILE Your comments are welcome! Markby magneticsigns - Howto and Tutorials
bartongraphics, we're not sure what INDICATOR you are referring to. If this is something inside UPS, then perhaps your UPS rep can get you in touch with their data people. For orders over 150 pounds, I suggest you do shipping by quote and check with freight carriers. Do you really have many orders over 150 poundsby magneticsigns - General Discussion
Sorry but it's not possible - for system clipart basically you have to take it or leave it. You are simply viewing our library and not keeping a copy of each in your installation. You can turn off individual categories. If you find a particular piece offensive, we may be able to eliminate it. From early on, we expected 2 types of users - those content with our clipart, and those that wantedby magneticsigns - General Discussion
Thanks Cos - we can't say speak for all companies but from those we've reviewed, it's about 50/50. I know for sure that Smart Designs ( i think that is their name) explicitly putting their clip art on the web in any form. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
Complicated - perhaps. Versatile and powerful - absolutely. The external variables can do a ton of things - discounts are just a small part of it. Sorry, but there is no other way that we know of. We scratched our heads for some time before settling on this method. We are looking at the ability to enter the discount code in the cart rather than passing it through the URL.

I've verified that you will need to set up 2 products - create the first one then clone it and change it slightly - much easier than creating 2 products. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
No, but you can see the size of the text box by clicking on the alignment tool. The reason for this is the translation from screen pixels to the actual size results in numbers which don't "look pretty" Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
I've recreated the default MAGNETIC CAR SIGNS in your account - please check it thoroughly ASAP if your site is live. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
i can't say what is wrong without more details - site name, exact product, template etc. my first impression is that you are using a direct link to a specific product size. i checked my site - discountsignshop -> deluxe magnetic car signs and templates resize to the selected size. markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
Check out the external variables feature which was added in the most recent update. You can pass the URL with a special code which will then turn into a discount for your client for all or specific products.by magneticsigns - General Discussion
Here's a work-around for your situation.... use 2 similar products with different background color options ... after you set up the first product, use the clone feature to duplicate it and then change the available background colors and pricing. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
I edited the posting above to add a link for the demo.by magneticsigns - General Discussion
The RTD site was updated Sunday, October 4th, 2009 with 3 really neat new features. They are: 1 - PRODUCT CONFIGURATION AND INSTANT PRICING TOOLS 2 - EXTERNAL VARIABLES - PASSING DATA FROM OUTSIDE RTD 3 - LIVE SHIPPING RATES FROM CARRIERS Demo link added below - 10:38 pm Sunday. Here's the link to the instructions for using the new features: http://designer.realtimedesigner.com/admby magneticsigns - General Discussion
YES YES YES in paypal you need to request API credentials - it's under PROFILE. You must have a PRO account (monthly charge) to do this. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
You have no direct access to rtd disk. You'll need to setup a hosting service with one of the providers such as godaddy.com Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
to turn off the button use this trick.... make a 1x1 pixel image and replace the button - it will be invisible to users. All of the buttons below the designer are moved together in one lump. You can not move one button around by itself. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
We're still not 100% happy with the payments through paypal BUT keep in mind that YOU can re-label all of these buttons to say what YOU feel is the best wording for your clientele. Submittal only means NO ONLINE PAYMENT - payments are expected to be finalized via other means if you enable this option. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
The internal workings of RTD carry 4 places for all values. The customer should see only 2 places but your admin panel will see 4 all places. If your customers are seeing 4 places, please direct me to the exact product/quantity/options so that I can repeat the error. Thanks Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
Hmm- I guess EPS isn't supported in background images..... Can you make a gif or svg file? Corel Draw does these nicely. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
Don't use jpg files for backgrounds if you intend to change background colors - jpg does not support transparency - the "hole" becomes white. We recommend that you use a vector format such as eps or svg. gif will also work if your transparency settings are correct. I can step you through it in corel but I don't know flexi well enough.

Nicely said Cos! Thanks. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
You are free to try inserting the analytic code into your header or footer, but I have no idea how it will work. Give it a try and report back to us. There was one of our clients who inserted a counter that turned out to be reported as a trojan by some browsers so he lost a lot of users. Markby magneticsigns - General Discussion
I'm not sure you can accomplish all that you are trying to do, but you can assign a fixed amount and/or a percentage to every shipping fee. You can not assign various "rules" beyond that such as you describe above. We do not track how many packages within RTD at this time. However, if you exceed the max weight for the UPS tables, there will be an alert that it can't be shipped in oby magneticsigns - General Discussion
