Informationen zur Umstellung der Visforms Subscription auf ein Installationspaket
Diese Umstellung ist nur für Visforms Subscriptionen, die vor dem 12.12.2016 erworben wurden, nötig. Wenn Sie Ihre Subscription zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erworben haben, müssen Sie nichts tun und brauchen hier nicht weiter zu lesen.
Bitte beachten Sie: Diese Umstellung hat keinerlei Auswirkung auf den Funktionsumfang der Subscription, ihre Laufzeit oder sonstige vertragliche Bedingungen, sondern dient nur dazu die Handhabung der Subscription für alle einfacher und sicherer zu machen.
Warum stellen wir um?
Die Visforms Subscription ist eine Sammlung nützlicher Erweiterungen für Visforms. Während die 1. Version der Subscription, die vor ca. 1 einhalb Jahren veröffentlich wurde, 4 Erweiterungen umfasste, erhalten Sie heute beim Kauf einer Subscription 11 Erweiterungen für Visforms - Tendenz steigend, da wir immer wieder neue Feauter entwickeln.
Bislang mussten Sie alle Erweiterungen individuell installieren und deren Updates individuell managen. Während dies bei einer kleinen Anzahl von Erweiterungen gut funktioniert, ist es bei einer großen Anzahl an Erweiterungen nicht nur sehr umständlich, sondern auch fehleranfällig. Darüber hinaus ist es mühselig Sie darüber zu informieren, wenn wir neue Feature für die Subscription entwickelt haben und wir befürchten, dass Ihnen interessante neue Feature der Subscription, die Ihnen zustehen würden, deshalb entgehen.
Deshalb haben wir uns entschieden, die Subscription auf eine Paketinstallation umzustellen. Dies hat keinerlei Auswirkung auf den Funktionsumfang der Subscription, ihre Laufzeit oder sonstige vertragliche Bedingungen, sondern dient nur dazu die Handhabung der Subscription für alle einfacher und sicherer zu machen.
Was ändert sich für mich?
- Sie erhalten 1 Installationsdatei, die alle Feature und Erweiterung auf ein mal installiert.
- Sie müssen immer nur ein Update - das des Subscriptions-Paket - ablaufen lassen, wenn wir vorhandenen Code verbessern oder Fehler beheben. Alle Erweiterungen sind dann automatisch auf dem neuesten Stand.
- Wenn wir neue Feature entwickeln, werden diese ebenfalls einfach als Updates des Subscriptions-Paket released, so dass Sie neue Feature automatisch erhalten.
Was muss ich tun?
Alles was Sie tun müssen ist, einmalig das neue Installationspaket manuell herunter zu laden und auf Ihrer Webseite zu installieren.
Was passiert, wenn ich nicht umstelle
Erst einmal nichts. Wir werden aber in Zukunft keine individuellen neuen Erweiterungen mehr entwickeln, sondern neue Feature nur für das Subscription Paket entwickeln. Individuelle Updates einzelner Erweiterungen werden in Zukunft nicht mehr angeboten. Dies könnte die Funktionsweise Ihrer Webseite beeinträchtigen.
Wie stelle ich auf die Subscription Paket-Installation um?
Das ist einfach.
1. Überprüfen Sie in der Subscription Übersicht, dass Sie die für die Subscription minimal benötigte Visformsversion installiert haben und aktualisieren Sie Visforms gegebenfalls auf die benötigte Version. Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt ist dies Version 3.8.21
2. Loggen Sie sich hier mit dem Benutzernamen und Passwort, den Sie zum Kauf der Subscription benutzt haben, ein.
3. Laden Sie die Subscription Paket-Installation hier herunter
4. Installieren Sie die Subscription Paket-Installation über der Erweiterungen-Manager auf Ihrer Webseite
Diese Schritte sind nur ein mal nötig. In Zukunft wird Ihnen jedes Update der Subscription wieder im Update-Manager angezeigt.
Was passiert bei dieser Installation?
Bei dieser ersten Installation der Subscription Paket-Installation wird die Datenbank bezüglich der Visforms Subscription bereinigt. Im wesentlichen werden überflüssige Datenbankeinträge entfernt. Weiterhin werden alle bereits vorhandenen Erweiterung auf den neuesten Stand gebracht und alle noch nicht vorhandenen Erweiterungen und Dateien in der aktuellsten Version installiert. Nach erfolgreicher Installation finden Sie im Erweiterungenmanager Ihrer Webseite unter "Verwalten" einen Eintrag "Vfsubscription Package".
Einzelne Erweiterung in Visforms Subscription umwandeln
Bis zum heutigen Tag wurden insgesamt 11 Erweiterungen für Visforms entwickelt, die alle sowohl einzeln als auch gemeinsam als Visforms Subscription erworben werden konnten. Die individuelle Wartung der Erweiterungen ist sehr aufwendig. Deshalb haben wir uns entschlossen den Verkauf einzelner Erweiterungen zu beenden und nur noch die Visforms Subscription anzubieten, die alle Erweiterungen umfasset. Wir werden in Zukunft auch keine Updates für einzelne Erweiterungen mehr anbieten. Sollten Sie Visforms Erweiterungen einzeln gekauft haben, bieten wir Ihnen die Möglichkeit an, diese kostenlos auf eine Visforms Subscription upzugraden, damit Sie Ihre Erweiterung auch in Zukunft weiter nutzen können.
Gehen Sie hierzu folgendermaßen vor:
Loggen Sie sich hier mit dem Benutzernamen und Passwort, den Sie zum Kauf der Erweiterung benutzt haben, ein.
Gehen Sie im Hauptmenü auf den Eintrag Subscription
Wählen Sie dort die "Visforms Subscription - Unlimited" aus (nicht Visforms Subscriptioni - 1 Jahr!) und klicken Sie auf den Button kaufen. Sie werden auf das Verkaufsformular weitergeleitet. Da Sie bereits angemeldet sind, sind alle Adress-Felder im Formular bereits ausgefüllt.
Im Summenblock in der Zusammenfassung sollten Sie nun sehen, dass Ihnen ein Rabatt in Höhe des Preises der Visforms Subscription gewährt wird und dass der Zahlungsbetrag 0,00 Euro ist.
Wird Ihnen ein Zahlungsbetrag von 0.00 Euro angezeigt, dann füllen Sie die restlichen Pflichtfelder im Formular aus und senden Sie das Formular ab. Sie erhalten dann eine Mail mit dem Installationspaket der Visforms Subscription, das Sie nur noch über den Erweiterungen-Manager auf Ihrer Webseite installieren müssen.
Bitte beachten Sie: Wenn Ihnen ein anderer Zahlungsbetrag angezeigt wird, dann kann alte Erweiterung aus irgend einem Grund nicht korrekt upgegradet werden. Evtl. haben Sie das Upgrade schon zu einem früheren Zeiptunkt vorgenommen (selbstverständlich kann eine Erweiterung nur ein mal zur Visforms Subscription ungegradet werden, danach können Sie die Visforms Subscription auf allen Ihren Webseiten verwenden), oder Sie haben sich nicht korrekt angemeldet... Schicken Sie das Subscription Bestellformular in diesem Fall bitte nicht ab, denn es würde sonst der angezeigte Zahlungsbetrag auch fällig werden. Bei Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

Formularbeispiele von Visforms Nutzern
P.S. Ach übrigens, die gleichzeitige Darstellung von Liste und das Formular auf einer Seite wurde mit Hilfe der Visforms Content Plugins "Formulare in Beitrag" und "Formulardaten in Beitrag" (die in der Visforms Subscription enthalten sind) erreicht :).
