This is not just another upgrade, this is a new product!

Works several times faster

The latest version of Files utilizes a new WebAsyst kernel. With this new kernel all data (folders tree, file lists, files themselves) are transferred from the server’s side much faster than in the old version of Files. On the client’s side, almost all user actions in the main screen of the service are implemented using javascript and AJAX without page reloading.

New user interface

In the new user interface we repositioned all control elements and important information in the most suitable and prominent places. Menus which contain access to actions with files and folders are now residing “close” to the objects to which these actions are related. Menus themselves became “live”; i.e., they immediately display a result on user’s click, or a prompt to enter additional information if necessary.

Quick links to files or folders

Only one click is now required to get a link to any file or entire folder. Address (URL) of this link is immediately available on the screen and is ready for emailing or publishing in blog. Previously created links are as easy to remove if access to these files must be revoked.

New version of Files is already on the WebAsyst server. Just login to your account and try it, or create new account.

WebAsyst Software (PHP scripts) buyers can download new version from their Customer Center account.

As we promised, here is a collection of “Add to cart” and “Buy” buttons for online stores.

Download all buttons in one archive (87 KB; 32 gif files).

Adding new buttons to WebAsyst Shop-Script. Soon we will add a new configuration option to WebAsyst Shop-Script which will allow you to select “Add to cart” button style directly in the store backend. Until then you can install any of these buttons to your WebAsyst Shop-Script manually. To do this replace your files add2cart_en.gif and add2cart_small_en.gif with the files of the button that you like. Here is an example (yellow button):

1. Download add2cart_yellow_en.gif and rename it to add2cart_en.gif,
2. In WebAsyst Shop-Script backend “Design → Image uploader” screen delete your existing add2cart_en.gif file,
3. Upload new add2cart_en.gif.
4. The same applies for add2cart_small_en.gif.

Next time we are going to publish more “Add to cart” and “Buy now” buttons, with more than just color variations. There will be buttons of completely different designs.

WebAsyst Installer is an administrative WebAsyst application used for setting up and configuring WebAsyst installation on a web server. WebAsyst Installer is included in WebAsyst delivered as PHP software. Installer is not included in WebAsyst service hosted on our servers (we handle all technical side).

New Installer is much more stable than the previous version, works on various server configurations. WebAsyst software installation and updates got much easier with the new Installer. We successfully tested this update on various platforms including most popular hosting providers (such as GoDaddy), Windows, Mac OS X, Apache and IIS servers.

Here is a brief list of new features:
— Improved installation procedure and thorough analysis of server settings,
— Server configuration diagnostics,
— Improved WebAsyst software update system,
— File manager,
— More configuration options,
— View server logs,
— New design.

To install this update: run update procedure from your present WebAsyst Installer as usual.

WebAsyst Installer will update itself. If you notice something weird about the look of your Installer, or if you get any kind of error during update, simply reload current page in your web browser by pressing Ctrl+F5 on Windows, Cmd+R on Mac. Errors may occur if local browser cache was not properly refreshed during the update installation, or if archive extraction procedure of the new Installer has not finished at the moment of the page display. Reloading current web page should fix all such issues.
Contact support if you have any questions.

What has been changed:

1. Using an iframes technique and HTML and javascript code optimization, we enabled the system to work faster – main menu is not reloaded  when switching between services or navigating inside a service.
2. You can now choose one of four positions for the main menu: Top, Left, Bottom, and Right (before you had only Left and Bottom). For every position user can select a convenient menu view: Icons and Names, Icons only, or Names only. This flexible tuning allows you to set a layout which is most suitable for your current screen resolution. Selected view will be remembered on a local computer in cookies. To manage these personal settings, simply click your name in the top line of your WebAsyst window.
3. We changed the bright background colors in the service heading and toolbar. These elements are now in a light, white-gray palette that allows users to concentrate on the main service content. Color customizing is now possible only for top panel.
4. “Control Panel” screen has been re-named “Account”, and is now accessible from the top line, next to the current user name. Using “Account” screen you can now customize color scheme for entire account and select account name and logo appearance options.
5. Login form has been personalized – it now displays your account name and logo.

Login to your WebAsyst account – it already has the new interface!

If you purchased WebAsyst software to install on your own server, you may go to your WebAsyst Installer and upgrade.
