Hi Everybody,

We have had in excess of twelve inches of snow in the Dallas Ft. Worth area of Texas. Since we office in the middle of DFW, and we all reside in the area, there has been loss of power at both the office and some of our homes. However, as of this post, it looks like things are on the up and up. I apologize if our responses have been slow the last 24 hours. We are playing catch up now and should be caught up soon. Have a great weekend!

Best Regards,
Brian Warburton

Hi Everybody,

We just wanted to put up a quick post regarding our coming major release of 5.0.0. As of today, we have version 5.0.0RC2 available for download. Release Candidate 2 is looking very good so far and we are hoping for a final release soon. We have received very high praise so far which has been great considering the work put forth for this release.

Currently, we are supporting New installations and some Update installations. By that I mean, we can support an update from an older version, of the software, to this newer version, if you want to implement the NEW default design(PLEASE SEE DEMO LINKS BELOW). If you want to update and KEEP your existing template design, then as of this post, we are not able to support this type of installation. We do expect to have it completely ready for ALL installation types as early as tomorrow. So, if you are interested, please Contact Us. We are expecting quite a bit of installations so, if you want us to do the installation for you, please let us know as soon as you can.

Geo version 4.1.3 has been released, and is available for download in the client area. If you are currently using the Paypal Pro payment gateway, you will want to update to this new version as there are changes needed in order to keep using Paypal Pro. This new maintenance release also contains other minor fixes that have accumulated since the release of 4.1.2, see the release notes for full details of what is changed in the new version. The update is available for all Classifieds, Auctions, and ClassAuctions software products, running with Enterprise, Premier, or Basic editions.

For more info check out the release notes, for all the technical details look at the release info posted in our user forums, and see the update instructions from the user manual for the instructions on how to update to this new version.

We just made available a new maintenance release, version 4.1.2 available for Geo Classifieds, Geo Auctions, and GeoClassAuctions products at the Enterprise, Premier, and Basic editions. This new update has minor fixes that have accumulated since the last release, 4.1.1 and is a recommended update for anyone on the Geo v4.1 platform.

For those of you with an active support & updates service, you can get the new release from our client area. For more information on the release, check out the Release Notes here, all the technical details here, and the update instructions here.

We are pleased to announce the release of 4.1.1 for all Classifieds and Auctions software products, on Enterprise, Premier, and Basic editions. This is a bugfix release, anyone using Paypal or who is experiencing problems viewing the new Lightbox image display in Internet Explorer 8, we recommend updating. No critical problems have been found yet in the 4.1 release, just a few not so critical bugs found and fixed in 4.1.1. Resources for more 4.1.1 info: Release Notes | Technical Release Info

We just released version 4.1.0 for our Classifieds, Auctions, and ClassAuctions software products. This includes Enterprise, Premier, and Basic editions. The new release has some new checks in it during the update process, see the first note on the release notes for exactly what to watch out for, especially if you are a 3rd party vendor who updates people's Geo software for them, or if you have multiple licenses.

The new version adds a few pretty big new features, and a few minor ones as well. Up at the top of the list on the new features, are Recurring Billing on subscriptions, a new re-vamped image uploader page for listing placement and listing edits, and a new Lightbox view for displaying a slideshow of full-sized images on a listing. Of course there are more features than that, see the release notes for more info on what is added. For all the technical details, check out the forum post.

This is a notice to anyone using the 2Checkout payment gateway, and is going to, or has recently updated from Geo version 3.1.* or before, to Geo 4.0.*. Be sure to follow the steps listed below to ensure that your site can still "receive the signal" properly from 2checkout when a payment is successful (These changes are only needed in Geo versions 4.0.9 and before):

1. Be sure to update the Geo software to the latest version of 4.0, currently 4.0.9.
2. Log into your admin panel, and go to Payments > Payment Gateways.
3. Click configure next to 2Checkout to bring up the settings for the gateway.
4. Ensure that the settings are set correctly, if not correct them with the values needed.
5. Near the bottom of the "configure" window will be a URL that ends in: process_transaction.php?gateway=twocheckout Keep track of the entire URL, it will be specific to your Geo installation. You will be using it in a few steps. Also, note that the rest of the instructions on that page in the Geo admin panel are a little out-dated, see below for the rest of the updated instructions.
6. Log into 2Checkout Vendor area at https://www.2checkout.com/va/.
7. In the tabs at the top, navigate to Account > Site Management.
8. In the section Direct Return, where is says something similar to "After completing an order, buyers should be:", change the selected option to "Immediately returned to my website" if it is not already.
9. For the Approved URL, enter the URL from the Geo admin, the one I talked about in step 5 above. This URL has changed in 4.0 so be sure you update it, the "old" URL from Geo 3.1.* ends in cc_process_2checkout.php, you will be replacing this URL with the new one.
10. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Note that normally these type of needed changes will be mentioned in the release notes for a release and/or in the new release information forum post, not as a major topic on our blog. This time is a special case since we were only recently made aware of the needed changes. I wanted to make sure the word got out to anyone using 2checkout since it is not in our normal documentation.

(Thanks Sonia for bringing this to our attention!)

UPDATE:: [07/07/2009] The 2CO vendor admin panel "layout" has significantly changed since the steps in the Geo admin panel were last updated. The instructions above now reflects the most recent 2CO vendor admin panel layout.
