backwards compatible with older versions.
Orders and Documents
l In PrintShop Mail Webthe relationship between orders and documents (print jobs) is changed. Orders now can contain
multiple documents which is visualized using a tree view. To avoid misunderstanding by customers it is advised to
change the status of orders in the Ordered and Approved status folders to In-plant. Price related items remain intact
although the presentation is different due to changes in the PrintShop Web user interface.
l PrintShop Mail documents (templates and print jobs) in the system are automatically converted to the PrintShop Mail 7
format the first time they are used for previews or print actions. This action is performed only once.
Skin changes
l As PrintShop Mail Web 7 includes various user interface enhancements and new interface elements (e.g. modular
dialogs) custom skins should be checked and updated to support these new items. To test your existing skin(s) with
PrintShop Mail Web 7:
l Install PrintShop Mail Web 7 on a stand-alone machine.
l Copy your skin(s) to the templates folder of the PrintShop Mail Web 7 installation.
l Test and modify your skin
l Once completed create a backup of the modified skin and copy it to your production server.
l The 'Default' skin of PrintShop Mail Web 7 uses a gradient image as background image in the menu bar and table head-
ers. Although this looks very nice it prevents the web browser from showing the contrast color set in the Edit Web
Design page. If the contrast color is preferred the style-element-menu.php of the default skin should be changed. The
original code is still there but commented out. Simply remove these comments and comment the lines that render the
gradient image.
