The logo

Of course you don’t want your clients to see our logo so we have made it very easy to replace our logo with yours. 

  1. Go to Options -> Themes and click on the edit button under the Black Glass theme. 
  2. Next click on files. 
  3. About half way down you will see a folder titled images. Click on the link to open the images folder. 
  4. Click on the Upload button.  This will display a form to allow you to upload an image.
  5. Click on the Browse button to select a file on your computer named logo.png that will replace our logo.  If your current logo is not in PNG format you can either convert it or edit the theme file header.tpl to reference a different file (see below).
  6. Click Upload and it will prompt you to overwrite the current logo.png.  Click ok and your file will be uploaded overwriting our logo.

The other option is to edit header.tpl to reference your logo file.  Go through steps 1-5 above except that the file you upload does not need to be named logo.png.

  1. On the top of the file list should be a link "Up to Previous Level".  Click that and you will see a series of .tpl files. 
  2. Click on header.tpl and look for the following.

 

<?php
if (file_exists(’<!–themedir–>/images/logo.png’))
    {
    echo ‘<img src="<!–themedir–>/images/logo.png">’;
    }
else
    {
    echo $config->readValue(’company_name’);
    }
?>

 

3. Replace both instances of logo.png with the name of the file you uploaded.

ProofBuddy 1.0rc6 Available

The sixth release candidate is available for download.  Primarily a bug fix, this version adds no new features but it does fix a problem that several users have reported with pricing options not working correctly along with several minor bug fixes.

ProofBuddy 1.0rc4 Available

The 4th public release candidate of ProofBuddy version 1.0 is now available for download.

Please note that this is still considered a pre release version and while we have done everything we can to assure its stability, it may contain bugs.

Upgrading from 1.0rc3
Simply upload the contained files over your current installation.  No database changes need to be made.

Upgrading from 0.7
Upload over your current installation.  The next time you go to your site you will be prompted to update the database to complete the upgrade.

Release candidate 3 of version 1.0 now available

The third release candidate of ProofBudy 1.0 is now available for download. 

Note that this is still considered a pre-release version and may contain functional bugs. 

Fix deleted albums script

This script will take any albums that you have deleted from your ProofBuddy database and change the passcode to -del- so that you can reuse the previous passcode. This is normally done when the album is deleted, but some circumstances can cause the original passcode to remain.

ProofBuddy 1.0rc2 Released

The second release candidate version of ProofBuddy has been released.  All patches that were released for 1.0rc1 have been applied to this release along with several others.

This release has been replaced.  Please visit the downloads page for the most recent updates.

Bug fixes for 1.0rc1

There have been several bugs discovered by the early downloaders of ProofBuddy 1.0rc1.  Patches are available on the forums.

For all users

For those upgrading on a server with MySQL prior to version 4.1 

If you are using version 1.0rc1 please download and install these patches.  They will be rolled into rc2 when it becomes available. 

ProofBuddy 1.0rc1 Available for download

The first public release candidate version of ProofBuddy is now available for download. 

Note that although ProofBuddy 1.0 has been under testing for the past several weeks this release candidate version is still considered a pre-release version and you may still find bugs.  If you do, we would appreciate posting them to our support forums so that they can be fixed. 

Installation
If this is the first time you’ve installed ProofBuddy or you are installing fresh you can just upload the contents of the zip file.  A setup script will run the first time you browse to where you installed ProofBuddy. 

More information on installation can be found in our documentation.

Upgrading from 0.7
If you are upgrading the first step you must take is backing up your database and files.  There are not any known cases of database corruption during the update process, but it’s better to be safe. 

To backup your database download the database backup script below and follow the instructions in the readme file contained within. 

You also should download your entire ProofBuddy folder to someplace safe on your computer.  Again, there are not any known cases of file corruption during the update process but it pays to be safe.

Pay special attention to any customizations you’ve done to the Basic White or Basic Black themes.  They will most likely be overwritten when you upload 1.0.  However, it is important that the full basic_white folder is uploaded as the theme format has changed slightly and ProofBuddy occasionally needs files out of that directory to function correctly.  If you have customizations the easiest method to keep your changes is to copy the contents of the basic_white theme folder to a new folder under /user/themes/.  Any new folders will not be changed.

Download
Next, download the 1.0 release candidate version of ProofBuddy.

Note that this is the rc2 release which replaced the rc1.

Unzip and upload the contents of the zip into your ProofBuddy folder.

If you are upgrading the first visit to your site will prompt you to upgrade your database.  If you are installing fresh then the first visit will prompt you for information to setup ProofBuddy on your server.

Registered Users
If you are currently a registered user of version 0.7 please contact us with your name, email address, and an approximate date of registration for an updated pro file.  The version from 0.7 should work, although there have been a few changes.

Theme: White Glass

White Glass is a theme that I’ve been working on to release together with 1.0 to show what the new theme system is capable of.  It is being written using the data classes that are exposed in version 1.0 of ProofBuddy.  If you are familiar with PHP you will be able to look at the theme files and see how easy it is to create truly custom themes.  Documentation on the new theme system will be coming shortly, but after 1.0 is released.  And the old theme system of using variables will still work.
