Vanquish Upload Files for WooCommerce

2.1.1

• Security (Premium): the Google Drive OAuth file, which holds your Google client secret, no longer stays in the Media Library, where it sat in a public folder. Its content is kept in the plugin settings and the file is deleted: right after you choose it in Settings, or, if you already had it, the first time Google Drive is used. Only shop managers and administrators can upload .json files to the Media Library now.
• Fix: on the product page, the extra costs in the totals counted again the costs of the upload fields shown before.
• Fix (Premium): “Product price × number of files”, and an extra cost added to the item price, could be applied twice when another plugin recalculated the cart.
• Tweak: “Place the upload area with a shortcode” now says it applies to the classic cart and checkout only; on the block ones, place the Upload fields block.

2.1.0

• New: a Settings page with four tabs – General, Appearance, Texts, Separate cart items – in place of the Options, Texts and Repeatable products entries. The settings are grouped in sections with clearer names and help texts, written from what each setting really does. Nothing you have set changes. The plugin menu is now Upload fields, Settings and, in Premium, Cleaner.
• Fix: a product could disappear from a customer’s cart, with the notice that its uploaded files had expired, when the files that ANOTHER visitor had uploaded for the same product expired.
• Fix: the first save of the settings could empty the summary box and put the upload fields side by side, on sites that had never saved those settings before.
• Fix: “Show the copies of each file in the cart” (it was “Show the quantity for each upload in the item cart table”) had no effect.
• Fix: the files of visitors who had not ordered were deleted after 20 minutes of inactivity, not the 34 the settings showed, until the settings were saved.
• Fix: with “Warn before leaving the page: Only the first time”, the OK of any popup of the plugin – a refused file type, for example – turned the warning off.
• Fix: with protected file links on, the file that blocks direct access to an order’s folder grew at every page view. It is now written once, with the rule for Apache 2.4 too.
• Fix: the text before the number of repeated products (Texts tab) is used on the order pages and in the emails too, not only in the cart; the customer’s note is shown in the emails under every file, not only under images.
• Fix: image previews – square photos were stretched when the two preview sizes differed, and a preview size of 0 hid the file icons. With “Keep the small copies” on, GIF and BMP files had no preview, and the copies were not made again after a size change.
• Fix (Premium): the “Quantity box for each file” switch of an upload field changed only the emails; it now hides the quantity box on the pages too.
• Fix (Premium): with “Crop the photo: On the server” and no Imagick on the server, the customer was left waiting with no buttons. The photo is cropped in the browser then, and the settings say so.
• Fix (Premium): on PHP 8, the email telling the shop that a file could not be sent to Amazon S3 or Dropbox failed with an error, so it never arrived.
• Fix: “Your own button colours” did not reach the PDF Preview button, and the DPI limits were shown in “px”.
• Tweak: settings that had no effect are gone from the page (crop area width and height, distance between upload buttons). “How image previews are made” and “Keep the small copies” are now in the free version too; the crop editor settings, the PDF preview, the price per number of files and the layout of the upload form shortcode are shown with Premium only, where they work.
• Tweak: “Place the upload area with a shortcode” (it was “Disable standard upload-field management”) is Premium, like the shortcodes it needs: without an active licence it is not applied, so the upload fields are shown again.
• Templates changed: upload-form/field.php, order/field.php, emails/order-item-uploads.php. If your theme has copies of them, compare them with the new ones.

2.0.3

• Security: the uploads details sheet of an order can now be opened only by shop managers and administrators. Please update.
• Removed: the “Uploaded files” panel in the vendor dashboards of Dokan and DC Multivendor (WC Marketplace). Neither had been maintained for years: the DC Multivendor one no longer ran with current versions of that plugin (now MultiVendorX), and the Dokan one did not show the files of orders split between several vendors. The uploaded files remain available to the shop on the WooCommerce order page.
• Tweak: unused images, scripts and stylesheets removed from the plugin.

2.0.2

• Fix: on stores using High-Performance Order Storage, a bulk action added to the orders list by another plugin could end on a blank page instead of going back to the list. The plugin’s own “Delete uploads” bulk action dropped the address the list returns to for every action that was not its own. “Delete uploads” itself was not affected.

2.0.1

• Fix: without an active Premium licence – with the free version, or after a licence had expired – an upload field kept obeying the Premium visibility conditions set on it (user role, payment method, shipping method, order status, time), while the section that sets them is no longer in the configurator: a field hidden by one of those conditions stayed hidden, with no way to show it again. The conditions now apply only with an active licence. They are not deleted: they apply again as soon as Premium is active.
• Fix (Premium): the “Time” visibility condition now works on the order details and Thank you pages. “Hide some time after the order” did the opposite of what it says: the upload field was hidden on the product, cart and checkout pages, before any order existed, and was never hidden afterwards. It is now shown until the order is placed, and hidden once that time has passed since the order. “Hide after a date” hid the field on the product, cart and checkout pages only: it now hides it on the order pages too.
• New (Premium): “Hide after a date”, in the Time visibility condition, can have a year. With a year the upload field stays hidden after that date; with “every year”, as before, it is hidden from that date until the end of the year and comes back on 1 January.

2.0.0

• New: the upload field configurator has a new interface. Your upload fields are listed on the left – search them, drag them to change their order – and the one you pick opens on the right, with its settings in tabs: General, Visibility, Media, Price & discount, Notifications and, on a site with more than one language, Translations. Each setting has a plain name and a line that says what it does, and a “Search a setting” box finds a setting whichever tab it is in. No setting has been removed: the upload fields you have configured are read and saved as they were.
• New: the configurator says at the top what needs your attention – an upload field that accepts a file type WordPress refuses or a file size above your upload limit, disk space running low – with a link to the field or to the option to change.
• Improvement: the “Change” links of the Upload limits panel open the Options page at the option they are about, and highlight it.
• New (Premium): automatic cleanup. In the Cleaner, “Repeat every day” turns the cleanup you have set up – the files of the orders older than 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or 2 years, with the order statuses you choose – into a rule that runs by itself every night. A box at the top of the page says what the rule does, when it runs next and what the last run deleted, and removes it. The first run is the night after the rule is created.
• Improvement (Premium): the Cleaner works in three steps. It says how many orders match and asks you to confirm before it deletes anything, shows how far it has got, and when the server stops answering it says where it stopped and goes on from there. When the page opens only the closed order statuses – completed, cancelled, refunded, failed – are ticked: they used to be all ticked, orders in progress included.
• Fix (Premium): “Show the price per MB or KB in the cart”, in the extra cost per file size, could not be switched off: it came back on at every save.
• Fix: on a site with more than one language, saving the translations of an upload field stored the texts of the main language as the translation of the fields that had none yet, so those fields no longer followed a later change to the main text.
• Fix (Premium): the “Time” visibility rule could not be set to the 31st of a month.
• Fix (Premium): in the “Shipping method” visibility rule, the methods of Table Rate Shipping by Bolder Elements did not stay ticked: they were shown unticked when the configurator was opened again, and lost at the next save.
• Improvement: two bundled libraries the plugin no longer needs – a date picker and a lightbox – have been removed.
