Security update for WebAsyst Shop-Script

Mike Ushenin — May 13, 2013

A security update for WebAsyst Shop-Script has been released in version 309, which improves security of the mechanism processing requests from storefront visitors.

We strongly recommend all owners of WebAyst licenses to install this security update. All accounts of WebAsyst online services have already been updated.

If you have a modified version of WebAsyst scripts installed on your server or if you do not want to install this update via WebAsyst Installer, then you can simply replace file published/SC/html/scripts/core_functions/picture_functions.php with its updated version.

Release of Shop-Script 5

Mike Ushenin — March 14, 2013

Shop-Script 5

The first version of Shop-Script 5, the new shopping cart application of our popular Shop-Script products, has become available for purchase. Shop-Script 5 has been entirely rewritten on the basis of PHP Webasyst framework. Unlike its predecessors, Shop-Script 5 is not a standalone application for simply creating an online storefront with a certain number of available functions, but rather a flexible, configurable platform allowing you to adapt your online store to virtually any imaginable type of business logic.

We are very happy to have released this new version of our popular application based on the Webasyst framework, because this will allow us to rapidly develop further versions and extend its functionality. Moreover, the release of the new version means easy modification of the operating logic of an online store by third-party specialists with minimum changes (or none at all) to the original source code through development of custom design themes, plugins, and their own framework-based applications.

Note that from March 12 through March 31 only, this special introductory offer is valid:

  • 1 license of Shop-Script 5: $299 $199
  • Upgrade from WebAsyst Shop-Script: $249 $149

You can order Shop-Script 5 right now while special offer holds.

Maximize your WebAsyst Productivity for a Minimum Price

Mike Ushenin — November 20, 2012

WebAsyst applications have been developed mainly for team work, in which several users with different access rights can use the same account at one time. As experience shows, such collaboration becomes much more efficient when not only users are interacting but the   applications as well! You can make use of such synergy by pairing applications Mail & Contacts, Contacts & Shop-Script, Projects & Issue Tracker. Mutual integration of WebAsyst applications helps our clients to use them together for complete solutions.

To help you obtain the maximum impact from WebAsyst applications, we actively promote application bundles which give you the most effective tools for various business operations: establishing an online store, running an efficient CRM system, creating a website management system, and organizing online collaboration of virtually any size team. This is why we offer specially selected bundles, as well as the entire WebAsyst suite, with permanent discounts. The main point which we try to convey to all our clients is that bundled applications not only give initial savings at purchase, they save time and money in the future by efficiently solving everyday business problems.

Say Hello to Webasyst framework!

Vladimir V. Tuporshin — November 15, 2012

We are excited to introduce the new Webasyst — an open source PHP framework for building sleek multi-user web apps, intranet solution for businesses and teams, and complex websites.

New website & Download: http://www.webasyst.com/
View demo: http://www.webasyst.com/framework/demo/
GitHub: https://github.com/webasyst/webasyst-framework

We had been working on the project during the last two years. The alpha-version of the framework was first released in June 2011, and was available in Russian localization only (you may check out framework’s russian blog to see how the project evolved). By now most of the framework’s code has been finalized, the alpha-version stage is over, and we are thrilled to present the framework internationally!

The framework is the successor to our company’s products — WebAsyst.net and Shop-Script shopping cart software. Our dev team continues to re-write, one by one, all 10 web applications of the WebAsyst.net family so that all will work fully on the basis of our new framework. A brand-new version of Shop-Script, which is being developed on the basis of the new Webasyst framework, will be introduced in December 2012.

To be in the scoop about the new Webasyst framework and the upcoming Shop-Script: subscribe for the new blog at http://www.webasyst.com/blog/, follow us on Twitter or Facebook.

Make Your Website Even More User-Friendly!

Mike Ushenin — November 8, 2012

Please take a close look at your website and ask yourself:

  1. Does the website have a section with answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs)?
  2. Are there enough detailed and colorful pictures on the website pages?
  3. Do your visitors have an option to download documentation or product descriptions as PDF or ZIP files?

If at least one answer to these questions is “no”, then we have good news for you: you can make your website even more user-friendly and thus more profitable!

Knowledge base

With a good knowledge base, website visitors who send you the same FAQs can find the information in a detailed article on your website. This will help them to decide more quickly on a purchase and will also save you time to respond to other customers’ requests.

It is very easy to establish such an online help system with any number of sections and pages using the WebAsyst Pages application. You can quickly create an entire online book, adapt its design to your corporate colors, and publish conveniently organized articles on your website. In the WebAsyst Knowledge Base at webasyst.net we also use Pages to publish useful articles for you!

The Visual Effect

The more information about your company and products that is available on your website, the more likely a customer will choose you from other competitors. Most important, it is always better to see something with your own eyes! See detailed photos of your products taken from different angles and under different usage conditions. See how carefully products are handled in your warehouse.  See your excellent working places… and your smiles!

With the Photos application you can upload pictures to your website — any number at once. A variety of publication options is available: several resized versions to choose from, HTML code, BB code for popular online forums, slideshow and online gallery widgets, or as entire albums with a large number of layout and picture size options, and easy navigation. We  ourselves actively use WebAsyst Photos to store scanned documents and to publish our team’s photos.

File Archive

It is always convenient when you open a website of a computer hardware manufacturer and can quickly find and download documentation in a PDF file, or review the latest version of the pricelist without having to send a request to the support team and to wait for response. Unfortunately, very often uploading such files to the server and creating links to them requires attention of a technical specialist.

With WebAsyst Files this “technical operation” can be completed absolutely by anyone in your team—it takes only one click on a button on an ordinary web page and to select a file on your computer. Moreover, any assigned members of your team can upload an updated version of a published file, and you can see their names, update time and date, and all previous file versions. By the way, creating a link to an uploaded file as even easier than the uploading!

Business Notes

New project ideas, comments on the work of your subordinates, efficiency suggestions, brief instructions­—where should all this be stored?

The answer: in WebAsyst Notes.  It is extremely simple but truly functional because it will: a) keep all new information which you may need in the future; b) allow your company’s managers to leave comments on the work of their subordinate departments or individual employees; c) provide the possibility for all your colleagues to post suggestion on improving the work of the entire company.  Depending upon your access, you can even store your passwords there.

Please familiarize yourself with all the useful features of WebAsyst applications: Files + Photos + Pages + Notes. It is very likely that you and your team will find these very efficient tools useful to manage and publish files, photos, and web pages, and to securely share important business notes with your colleagues.
