Thanks to Stephanie Layne for taking the Pink Simplicity theme and changing it into something less feminine, but still with the graphic font and corner elements.

Pink Simplicity Theme

Simply 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.

Changing the Font

Several 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 font

There 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.

Download

This theme is available in the Theme Browser or you can download it below.

Editing the custom page

After 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.

Thanks

I 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.

Daily News version 2

A new version of the Daily News theme is available for download.  It includes several changes that have been requested by users, and rather than overwriting the current version I decided to have both available for download.

Changes

  • Each item in the add to cart section is now wrapped in CSS classes to make it easier to customize.
  • An example custom page is included. The example is for a list of package contents, but it can be easily edited to display whatever you would like.
  • The color, grayscale, and sepia links; which were left out of the previous version; are included.

Daily News Theme

A 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.

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.

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.
