Just uploaded a maintenance release for ProofBuddy 2.1 - version 2.1.0.2

Fixes in this release:

  • Database creation script is now compatible with MySQL 5.5.
  • Image scaling issues when using the Files on Server option and ImageMagick.
  • No orders found when clicking on the Orders tab, but would show up when clicking on "All"

Pro files were not affected as part of this upgrade so Professional version users should not need to re-enter their registration keys.

Update for ProofBuddy 2.1

April
28
2012
No comments

Just pushed out an update for ProofBuddy 2.1 - new version is 2.1.0.1.

Download link for the latest version is http://www.proofbuddy.com/latest.zip

Updating

If you've already upgraded to 2.1, updating to this release is just a matter of uploading the new files on top of the old.

Upgrade instructions from an earlier version are available on our documentation wiki.

One note for Pro users. If you've already upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1 Pro, you will need to re-enter your registration code. When you update to 2.1.0.1 you will revert to the Lite version, but entering your code will update you back to Pro.

Fixes

  • 135 - A child album was not being counted as a valid choice when adding images.
  • 136 - Add images from server box was blank. This was due to a setting that slipped in that's only valid in PHP 5.3 and ProofBuddy 2.1 targeted PHP 5.2 as the minimum required version. A work around was added.
  • 137 - Unable to reorder child albums
  • 138 - Errors uploading images once registered as a Pro user. This didn't affect actually loading images, but did display an error at the end of processing along with showing that twice as many images were loaded as actually were. The issue did keep the watermarking feature of the Pro version from working, but that is fixed as well.
  • 139 - Check settings for image height or width of 0 to keep from a divide by zero error on image import
  • 141 - Hint on the add images page was wrong. It was a tip for 2.0 instead of 2.1.
  • 142 - Typo - Images were "quened"  instead of "queued"
  • Basic White theme was mistakenly called "Basic White - INI"

ProofBuddy 2.1 now available for download

April

2012
No comments

We've been sitting, waiting for bug reports to come in on the pre-release versions of ProofBuddy. The pre-release versions of ProofBuddy 2.1 were downloaded around 250 times. And we're tired of waiting. Okay, really any known bugs have been squashed and our internal tests have turned up nothing new since the 4th beta of 2.1; so we're ready to release.

What's New?

We'll get a full list of new features out, but here are a few for now.

  • Flash Uploader - Instead of the simple file field, there is now a Flash uploader that should fix all sorts of issues. On the backend, ProofBuddy thinks that each file uploaded through Flash is an individual file so the file size limits are not there. Plus, you can select as many files as you want. ProofBuddy will queue them up and upload one at a time. The FTP option is still there though.
  • Switched from Prototype to jQuery JavaScript library (mostly) - Most pages are using the jQuery library, and related jQuery UI and datatables, instead of the Prototype library. We found that we could develop faster with jQuery and the available plugins for jQuery made it a better choice. Some pages are still using Prototype, although they will get switched out in later versions.
  • Image processing hooks - We've made the image uploading process much more open to plugins. For now, you won't see much difference. But the new hooks open up the possibility for plugins to work with images while they're uploading.
  • Error page - At the request of several users, we've simplified the page that comes up when ProofBuddy comes up with an error. It is now just simple black text rather than the page with the ProofBuddy logo in previous versions.
  • Plugin and Theme installer - You can now browse the theme and plugin libraries from within ProofBuddy and install directly by entering your FTP information.
  • Currency Symbols - You can now change the currency symbol system wide. There are many levels of customization possible, but for a majority of users simply changing the symbol under options will be enough.
  • More caching - Requests to our server for things like the RSS feed and theme and plugin lists are now cached in the database instead of in a file.
  • Home folder - ProofBuddy now automatically determines where it is located on your server. This may not matter to you, but it will help if you ever need to move ProofBuddy to a new server.
There are literally hundreds more changes between 2.0 and 2.1, but most probably aren't that interesting to you. The list above covers most of the features that have been requested by many users or that fix issues that have been lingering.

Upgrading

Rather than re-write the instructions, I'm going to point you to the upgrade instructions on our wiki.

2.1 beta 3 available

Feb

No comments

The third beta of ProofBuddy 2.1 was just uploaded to our site and is available at our download page.

Along with several minor issues, the most significant fix is to the theme and plugin loader. There was an issue where the plugin and theme zips were corrupted when downloaded from our server. That's been fixed and you should now be able to install themes and plugins without having to fire up your ftp program.

Second beta for 2.1

Came across a bug in the first beta that would prevent installation if the database server was something other than localhost.

There was also an issue with the theme.ini file in the Basic White theme which caused a parsing error on PHP 5.2.17.

ProofBuddy 2.1 - First beta release

Jan
29
2012
No comments

The first beta release of ProofBuddy 2.1 is up and ready for download.

Please remember though that this is considered a pre-release version and likely will have bugs pop up. My suggestion is for those that are interested in a test version to install it into a test directory and leave your current ProofBuddy active for your clients. That way they won't see any errors that come up in the test version.

What's New?
It's actually a pretty long list, and one that we haven't finished typing out yet. We should have a full release notes page out with the final released version of 2.1.

The most obvious change is that  admin menu is on the left side of the page rather than across the top. We did this so that if plugins add menus, it won't push the page width too wide to be visible.

Another major change is how uploading works. Biggest change for users is that there is now a Flash uploader rather than the 10 file boxes on the add image page. Files on server is still there; but we hope that with the ability to upload via Flash, the files on server option will not be necessary except for specific needs.

The upload process is also now more pluggable. What this means is that it's possible for a plugin author to insert a step into the image processing stack to do more with the images than ProofBuddy does by default. It was switching to this plugin architecture for image processing that consumed the bulk of the time between the release of 2.0.4 and this release.

Lite vs Pro?
ProofBuddy 2.1 is still split in to a free Lite version and a commercial Pro version, and the Pro version is still $149.95 as it was with 2.0.

The differences between the 2 versions - limit on active albums and number of images per album, along with Pro only features - are the same with one addition. The Lite version now includes a small advertisement on the bottom left corner of the page.

Upgrading from the 1.0 series to 2.1 will be the same $79.95 as it was to go from 1.0 to 2.0. Pro users who have already registered 2.0 will be able to upgrade to 2.1 Pro for free.

Can anyone be a tester?

Yes. Originally we were going to have a closed beta, but decided that we'd rather anyone who wants to kick the tires on the test version have that chance. If you feel up for helping out and being a tester, feel free to click the link below to download the first beta release.

Need Help?

We've got a board setup on our support forum specifically for the 2.1 beta testers.

Version 2.0.3 of ProofBuddy is available and ready for download.  It is suggested that all users of version 2.0 upgrade to this release as it does address a security issue.

Issues Addressed

  • 702 - Administration pages having problems with IE7.  Any of the screens that used the YUI Panel to display information (edit album, edit order, add images to cart) were not displaying the panel correctly due to a JavaScript / CSS issue with IE7 combined with a bug on our part.
  • 697 - Error on the next image link if there's only one image in an album
  • 696 - servpic.php was not checking to make sure the user was logged in, even when the check user before serving image option was selected.
  • 703 - Disabled pricing still showing

ProofBuddy 2.0 Released!

After an almost complete rewrite, ProofBuddy 2.0 is now available and ready for download.

What’s New?

Plugins

Plugins are the cause of the time delay between ProofBuddy 1.0 and 2.0. We went back and started almost from square one with ProofBuddy 2.0. The entire system had to be rewritten to support plugins, even though for 95% of the users it will look much the same.

(more...)
