Version 2.1 of Photography Orders released
Posted on 16. May, 2012 by Luke in Blog, Latest news
We’re happy to announce the release of version 2.1
Version 2.1 brings in a significant new feature… “Pages”. With pages you can create informational pages on your shopping cart. So now you can put extra information about your services, about your business, contact information, everything.
You can also create menu items that will redirect back to your website (if you have a separate website).
We’ll be posting more videos and information on this in the future.
There are also a number of other smaller modifications and bug fixes.
- Added currency symbol to client show photo page
- Changed mail that is sent to customers to come from contact email instead of a noreply address
- Changed order notification email to come from customer email address
- Changed the email that gets sent to clients from “Hi [Username]” to “Hi [Firstname]”
- Fixed a bug where background wasn’t updating in settings->design
Existing customers can get the latest version from their original download link. A support ticket can be purchased for assistance with upgrading.
New customers will automatically get the latest version.
Beta testers wanted to test out Pages
Posted on 10. May, 2012 by Luke in Latest news
Soon we’re rolling out a feature called “Pages”.
Pages will allow you to have content pages on your Photography Orders shopping cart, so you can post information about your services and your business.
We’re looking for customers who want to test out this feature and give us feedback on it before we launch it to all our users.
If you’re interested, please send an email to info@photographyorders.com and we’ll get back to you with instructions on how to get it.
Payfast integration released
Posted on 16. Apr, 2012 by Luke in Latest news
We’re just released a new version of Photography Orders, now with Payfast as a payment option you can offer your customers.
Payfast is a popular payment provider in South Africa.
If you’re an existing customer, you can download the new update from the download link you received in the confirmation email when you first purchased.
New version: Administration interface released
Posted on 04. Apr, 2012 by Luke in Latest news
Today we are releasing our new administration interface for Photography Orders!
The interface is still very easy to use, and now it has been given a face lift so that it’s more appealing as well.
Here’s a screenshot:
You can see the whole thing in action on our live demo.
Why did we do this?
Firstly, Photography Orders is now a hell of a lot sexier!
Also, as our current users will know, before today, the admin theme was exactly the same as the front end theme (the front end theme is the theme your clients see). If you changed your theme for clients, your admin theme changed. Therefore, if you wanted to create a theme for your users, it would also affect your administration area as well.
In upcoming versions, we’re rolling out a bunch of new front end themes very soon, and separating the administration theme from the theme the clients see makes it a lot easier to make really fantastic themes for Photography Orders – not just for us, but for web designers as well.
Stay tuned for the new front end themes! And designers stay tuned for a new and simpler way to make themes for Photography Orders!
The new version is already available for download when you complete your purchase, and existing customers can download it using the link in the email they received after they purchased.
Cheers,
Luke

Photography Orders 2.0 released. New Features!
Posted on 05. Mar, 2012 by Luke in Latest news
We’re excited to announce that after a couple of months of beta testing, Photography Orders version 2 is now released.
Some of the enhancements in version 2:
- Sub categories in galleries
- Customise email templates
- The interface has been improved. We’ve made the program flow faster and look nicer
- We’ve completely rewritten Photography Orders. We did this because we have massive plans on the horizon, and rewriting the code base is going to allow us to add a lot more features soon
Unfortunately, you can’t directly upgrade from version 1 to version 2. When you upgrade to version 2, you will need to setup from scratch and reupload all of your galleries.
Photography Orders 2.0 is already available for download when you complete your purchase, and existing customers can download it using the link in the email they received after they purchased.
Enjoy!

Announcing Photography Orders Hosting
Posted on 11. Jan, 2011 by Luke in Latest news
With the release of v1.4.1 of Photography Orders, we’re also announcing we’re bringing back our hosting plan.
While Photography Orders is simple software, it does some heavy lifting behind the scenes, especially when it’s uploading and resizing images.
Because of this, a lot of the hosting plans that Photography Orders used to work on, will no longer be able to support Photography Orders.
We’ve created a hosting plan that allows for unlimited photos and unlimited galleries so that you don’t have to worry about if Photography Orders will work on your web host. The hosting plan is finely tweaked for Photography Orders, and because we work with so many photographers, you won’t get support that makes you want to slap your head.
To ease the transition from your existing account to a Photography Orders hosting account, we’re offering free migrations – that is, we’ll get your site off your existing host, and set it up for you for no extra cost.
The introductory price is $30/month. You can cancel at any time, however if you leave in the first 12 months, you can’t take Photography Orders with you. After 12 months, the license is fully yours, the same as if you’d bought it outright.
Happy Snapping!
