What's new in Installatron Plugin 7.1?
The release of 7.1 represents the biggest leap forward since the release of Installatron Plugin 7.0 in late 2011. The focus of this release has been in the areas of adding the ability to clone installed applications, enabling installed applications to be migrated from remote web hosting servers, improving the user interface, and expanding most administrative settings to enable them to be set for individual users and packages. The end result is the world's best web application automation experience. Try the free version today and see for yourself! As with all releases, this is a free upgrade for all licensees.
Clone installed applications.
Clone is a revolutionary feature that enables installed applications to be duplicated to a different location. Any account location is a valid destination, including the root directory and any sub-directory of all sub-domains, addon domains, and domain aliases. All files, directories, and database tables are duplicated, and application settings are updated for the new location.
Use Clone to test an upgrade before applying it to a production install, to create a sandbox to test mods, plugins, or themes, or simply use Clone to duplicate an installed application. The uses for Clone are endless!
Migrate installed applications.
Version 7.1 also adds the ability to migrate installed applications from remote web hosting servers. Migrate is an extension of the "Import an existing install" tool that utilizes a remote web hosting server's FTP information to copy an installed application from the remote server to a selected location on the local web hosting account. Similar to Clone, all files, directories, and database tables are copied, application settings are updated for the new location, and any account location is a valid destination.
Edit installed applications.
Since the release of version 7.0, we've been working towards adding support to each application to edit the administrative username and password, installed language, website title, and other values. This release marks the culmination of this effort, and these values can now be edited for most installed applications. Best of all, we've designed this feature so that values are always in sync with the installed application.
User interface improvements.
A universal search and filtering bar has been added to the My Applications, My Backups, and Applications Browser pages.
Many textual button labels have been shortened or replaced by simple intuitive icons, and button tooltips have been added to many buttons.
The View/Edit Installed Application, Uninstall and Delete Backup confirmation screens have been vastly simplified.
Buttons and icons throughout the user interface have been updated.
Expanded administrative settings.
Reseller and administrative settings have been expanded to enable configuration for individual users and control panel packages. In previous versions, only activated applications could be configured in this way.
Hundreds of additional improvements.
In addition to major features, hundreds of tweaks and improvements are included in Installatron 7.1. Some of these include:
Reseller Installatron Update notifications are now turned off by default.
Installation Quotas can now limit the number of applications a user can install.
Installatron Converter has been simplified and now includes additional options.
Application Access Control UI improved significantly.
Application Catalogs UI simplified.
