Group Script 1.4 released

Dear customer, We are proud to present the latest update which adds several important features and fixes lots of bugs. The code responsible for payment processing has now been completely rewritten which should yield a more stable behaviour and easy customization/adding of new payment methods. New features:

  • PayPal Express Checkout transactions are now first authorized and if the deal tips-captured, instead of refunding.
  • Buyers get a confirmation e-mail right after a coupon is bought and another confirmation if the deal does not tip
  • Server time is displayed when adding a deal (should help choosing the right dates & times for deals)
  • PayPal Website Payments Pro can now be used to accept credit cards (this feature is disabled by default, see Notes on how to enable it)
  • Ability to filter deals by their status in backend
  • The deals now last until a maximum number of coupons is reached or the deal reaches end date. The deal still tips at minimum number of coupons though
  • Uploaded logo is displayed in backend instead of our product logo.
  • Internationalization enhancements- site visitors can now register accounts that contain full range of Unicode characters, instead of latin alpha-characters
  • Administrators can export data about deals from site backend
  • If there is no deal at the moment, the last active deal is displayed instead of 'No deal is available at the moment' Resolved bugs:
  • Random session logout occuring on some servers
  • Maximum number of coupons per user now works as expected
  • Multiple user registrations through referral link are now accepted from the same IP address.

To enable the new PayPal Website Payments Pro functionality follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have an active PayPal Website Payments Pro account.
  2. Create new API credentials and replace the existing ones in file sytem/application/config/paypal.php
  3. Rename the file system/application/payment_backends/_paypal_dp.php to paypal_dp.php
  4. Voila, enjoy credit card payments in your site.

Group Script 1.2 released

Dear customer, We are constantly working on new features and improvements for our product! This update brings the following new features:

  • Improved sign up process to keep off nasty spammers from registering with your site.
  • If no deal is available, a notice is shown instead of blank page (or errors, if error reporting is enabled for your website)
  • Company owners can add deals in the backend but your staff still have to approve the deals.
  • A glitch in validation of sign up form allowed duplicate usernames.
  • Cities can be deleted without deleting associated deals first.
  • City cache for front page menu was not properly invalidated in some cases, that might lead to stale information shown on the tools menu.
  • Other bugfixes and small improvements.

Best regards, Softlinch team
