Minor glitch in beta 9

A bit of debugging code was left in a file in the beta 9 upload which would cause an ugly screen when your clients submit an order.  The order still went it, but the cart wouldn't redirect to the thank you page like it's supposed to. 

If you downloaded beta 9 before about 7pm CST on 8/13 you can either download just the patched file from our support forum or redownload the entire zip below.

Sales Chart plugin

Aug

Just a teaser for now.  This is a plugin we're writing to test the internals of the plugin system and make sure it's working like it's supposed to.  So for now, this plugin isn't available.  But it will be soon; most likely shortly after beta 9 is released. 

The Sales Chart plugin adds a menu to your dashboard that lets you view a line chart of your sales for the current week, month, and year; the previous week, month, and year; and all time.  This gives you a quick glance into how well your sales are doing.

Since words don't really work to explain it though, here are a couple of screen shots.

Why the delay on beta 8?

Aug

We dropped the ball on a couple of issues and are working to get them added in for beta 8.  Both are very important and not something we can simply leave out.

Custom Fields
Probably the number one feature request we get is the ability to add custom information to items added to the cart.  Say you wanted to have a dropdown next to the add to cart button for Paper Type with choices for Matte, Glossy, or Metallic.  That's possible in 2.0.

The problem is that we coded for everything but the add to cart button.  You can add custom fields to orders, users, coupons, and pretty much everything else.  The code for adding custom options to items in the cart just never made it. 

As a teaser, here's what the View Cart page will look like by default with custom options set on cart items.

Favorites
The ability for visitors to create a list of favorites and for those favorites to show up on the admin side never made it into version 2.0.  The favorites code has been added and will be working in 2.0b8.

Thanks, and an apology
Thanks go out to everyone that has downloaded a beta of version 2.0 and helped us by sending in bug reports.  ProofBuddy becomes a better product every time we get a report of something not working.  We had planned that the time between beta versions would be very short and feel that we've let our users down by taking so long between b7 and b8.  We hope you feel, as we do, that these two features are important enough and worth the wait.
