Pink Simplicity ThemeSimply Pink is a theme designed to be used when a more feminine look is needed. The background is a light pink with slightly darker accent images. All text is dark red. Screen Shots
Changing the FontSeveral of the headers are graphics built on the fly from a GPL licensed true type font called Penguin Attack. If you would like to change the font you just need to upload your TTF file to the /font/ folder under the theme directory and name the file font.ttf. Be sure that it’s allowed to use the font for commercial purposes. I had a very hard time finding a font that fit the style I was looking for that was free for all uses. More about the fontThere is a script called drawfont.php in the /images/ folder of this theme that handles building the graphic files. It is something I’m working on as a plugin for a future version of ProofBuddy so it is included in this theme more as a test than anything. But this theme just wouldn’t look right with boring sans serif fonts. DownloadThis theme is available in the Theme Browser or you can download it below.

Editing the custom pageAfter your client logs in to this theme there will be a link titled About Us across the top right. You will want to edit the about_us.tpl file that’s included in the download so that the page has the information you want it to have. You can also change the text of the link from About Us by editing the theme language file. If you don’t want the About Us page at all you can just delete the about_us.tpl file from the theme directory and the link will not show. ThanksI want to thank Richard May of Richard May Photography for sending me a screen shot of the theme he created. It was the screen shot below that inspired 18% Gray.

Ides of March Group BuyLooking to upgrade to ProofBuddy Pro? Want a discount? Well, we’ve got some great news for you. From now until March 15th, 2008, we are offering a group buy. What’s the deal? What if I don’t have a web site? Great! How do I sign up? What’s next? ProofBuddy 1.0.2 ReleasedProofBuddy 1.0.2 is now available for download. This is primarily a bug fix release for the version 1.0 series. Fixes / updates include
One important note for those of you using either the basic white or basic black theme or using either the <!–logo–> or <!–logo_link–> variable in your theme. ProofBuddy now checks in the /images/ subfolder under the theme for a logo.png, logo.gif, or logo.jpg file as well as the /images/ subfolder underneath the ProofBuddy root. If you have uploaded your logo to the /images/ folder under the ProofBuddy root the file from the theme/images/ folder will have priority. By default that file is a ProofBuddy logo which I assume isn’t what you want your clients to see so you’ll need to upload your logo file to the theme/images/ folder as well. You can do this either with FTP or through the Options -> Theme tab in the admin interface.

Emails not sending on Yahoo hostingThere have been a few reports of emails not being sent from ProofBuddy on Yahoo hosting. What I’ve found is that the company email address set under the Options -> Company tab has to be at the same domain as the Yahoo account. So if you’re company is using example.com as the domain name, you can’t use bob123@yahoo.com for the company email address. You’ll have to setup bob@example.com and use that instead. If you’re using Yahoo for hosting and this doesn’t help you can also look at the mail error log file. To do this login to your account with a FTP program and open the /tmp/ folder. You’ll see a file called mailError.log. Open this file and it will list any errors that occurred while trying to send mail. One important thing to keep in mind is that Yahoo limits the number of emails that can be sent through a script like this to 250 recipients per day. This shouldn’t be an issue for most people, but if you’re running a mailing list program or you have a lot of activity on your ProofBuddy site you could come up against this limit. It looks like any emails that are attempted after the 250 limit will be ignored. Daily News ThemeA new theme is available for ProofBuddy called Daily News. Daily News is based on news websites that have the content area surrounded by a drop shadow.
The Daily News theme also has an optional film strip below the fullsized image that displays thumbnails of all the images in your album. But since it can slow down the page view on albums with many images it is disabled by default. To enable the film strip you’ll need to change the language string show_filmstrip from 0 to 1. You can download the Daily News theme through the theme browser or using the link below.

ProofBuddy 1.0 final releasedAfter more than 2 years and over 50,000 lines of code version ProofBuddy version 1.0 is available for public download. Version 1.0 represents the first version that contains the features that we originally slated for ProofBuddy and is a significant upgrade over version 0.7, the previous public release. Major Features in 1.0 Customization & Themes Customization starts with the theme system. You can edit your theme to match your site, or to look totally different. And you also have the option of installing multiple themes to your site and using different themes on different albums. This gives you the ability to use a different theme for different assignments. For example you can have different themes for your wedding clients, senior clients, and baby clients. Starting with version 1.0 you will be able to edit the themes directly from within the administrative panels. Previously you would need to download each file via FTP, edit the file, and reupload. With version 1.0 you can edit the files directly without having to download first. Also built in to version 1.0 is a theme browser. The theme browser connects to our server and allows you to browse any themes that we have available for download. As of this writing there is only the two basic themes that ship with ProofBuddy and a theme called White Glass. But the theme library will expand as we are able to add new designs. Our hope is that our users will also start sharing themes to give all of our users will have access to a growing collection of themes. Packages To setup a package a new pricing item is added and marked as a package. You then add individual items under the package. When your visitors add a package any items that are added, or were previously added, will be filled into any package slots that they may fit. Coupons Also new in version 1.0 is the option to allow your clients to add multiple coupons to their cart. Installation & Upgrading If you are upgrading from a previous version the process is almost the same as the fresh installation except that you do not need to create the database. Simply upload the new files over the old. Browse to your site and ProofBuddy will prompt you to upgrade your database if needed. Download
