   Hallo everybody,

   I just installed webcards - I supposed it was the latest version, as it was directly proposed by my server cyon.ch...well, I was wrong :(. The code says I have 1.3.

   As I have already worked quite a lot on it (design, translations, links to my homepage...), I have to decide wether I upgrade or not. Would you be so kind and help me with some questions ?

   - I suppose that everything I personalized will be lost on upgrade ?

   - Is there other languages in the new version ?

   - I suppose editing will be easier, but can I edit more things or less things with the new version ?

   - Can emails be personalized as to the design too (not only language) ?

   - Corryboy told me my version is no longer supported, what does that mean concretely ?

   I'm sorry I have so many questions - if anybody can answer to ONE of it, i'll be grateful !!!

   The latest version is 2.4.

   Unfortunately, all the template modifications willl be lost. But the way the templates work in the current version is still the same, so moving your templates shouldn't be too difficult.

   There are no other language files available, but they will become available in time.

   There is a lot more that is customisable in the new version. You can even change the name form "WebCard" to something of your own choice.

   Emails can be personalised. All email text is in the language files. You can also send html emails.

   1.x versions are not supported. They were released under a different licence, and are no longer developed.

   Let me know if you have any more questions.

   Thanks a lot for your answer !

   There's just one thing I haven't understood yet: as to the e-mail, even in my version I could change the text, but I couldn't change the appearance - can you do it with the actual version ?

   Thank you for helping me !

   You can send full html emails, so yes you can customise the appearance of the email too.

   What about going from 2.4 to 2.5? Do you lose the template modifications then?

   Are you referring to the html templates? If so, then yes you will lose your modifications. It has been necessary to make some changes to the templates to ensure that some of the new features such as sending full card content and pay-per-card work correctly.

   There aren't huge modifications and if you use a tool such as CSDiff you will see that there aren't many massive changes in each file. More tweaks really.

   I will have a look at preparing a guide for migrating your templates to version 2.5.
