Pixaria 3.7 Now Available

Pixaria 3.7 Now Available

Posted on Monday, January 2, 2012

Welcome to 2012! To kick off what promises to be an exciting new year, I am delighted to announce the release of Pixaria Gallery and AssetDeck versions 3.7. It's been a longer than usual gap between releases but I've been working hard during this time to add some exciting new features and improvements to the software which I hope will be welcome additions.

For AssetDeck users, the big news in this update is the addition of support for authentication against LDAP servers such as Windows Active Directory or Mac OS X Open Directory. LDAP support can be enabled from the newly updated registration settings control panel where you can configure details of the server such as login credentials, SSL support and the directory distinguished name information. It is possible to link any existing account to LDAP or to allow any valid LDAP users to log in without having to create an account for them in the Pixaria database.

An exciting change to the store functions in version 3.7 is the ability to change the order of products and create categories for grouping products for display. This new addition makes it easier to present your products to customers if you have large numbers of products and want to keep related items listed together.

Responding to a frequent request over the last year, it is now possible to specify five custom fields for new user registrations. As with the existing, built in fields, it is possible to choose whether the fields are requested or required. In addition to the new custom fields, an additional built in field has been added to allow capture of sales tax (VAT/IVA) registration number information.

These are just some of the new features but you will also find many others so before upgrading, please be sure to check the release notes to make sure you're aware of all the changes. Don't forget that, as always, the change log contains details of all the files that have been modified since version 3.5.

Registered users can download the update from the 'My Support' website using a license code and e-mail address. If you do not know your license details, please send an e-mail to info@pixaria.com.
