New Plugin - Package Contents
May
2
2010
1 comment A new plugin is available for download that will add a variable set to ProofBuddy to allow you to display contents of packages within your theme.
Usage
Once installed and activated, there will be 3 new variables available for use.
<!--packageContents-->
Will display the contents of any packages available for the current image. This variable only works within the fullimage.tpl template file.
<!--packageContents:#-->
Displays the package contents for the image specified by #. For example, if you want to display the contents of packages for image ID 123 you would put <!--packageContents:123--> into your theme file.
<!--packageContents:album-->
Displays the contents for packages associated with the current album. This will typically be the same as the current image, but may not be if you've set the image to individual pricing.
Customizing
In the plugin folder is a small CSS file named packageContents.css. There are a handful of CSS selectors that you can use to customize how the list looks on page. Each element is wrapped in a <span> so you can style it pretty much however you like.

Pricing Copy Plugin!
April
4
2010
Adding to our list of plugins that add commonly requested features our newest plugin will allow you to copy one pricing list to another.
When activated a new icon will be on the Options -> Pricing page between the icons for a new pricing set and renaming a pricing set. Clicking on this icon will allow you to copy the currently selected pricing set to a new set.
One note, this uses Javascript to add the icon so it's fairly browser dependent. We've tested on FF, IE8, and Opera. But if you come across a browser where the icon doesn't show up or you get an error please let us know in the comments.

Show Crop plugin
April
2
2010
We've added a new plugin, and it's one that's been requested by a lot of users.
The Show Crop plugin adds a bit of JavaScript to the client side of your proofing gallery that will mask out images to a center crop matching the proportion of the print size they have selected.
Let's take a look at a screen shot.
The image is roughly 4x6 proportion and the user has selected and 8x10 print. The masks are applied to show them an approximation of what their image will look like after cropping.
Installation
You can either install the Show Crop plugin through the plugin browser or manually download and upload using your favorite FTP program. (We like FileZilla)
Once you've gotten Show Crop onto your server you will need to active it. Click on the Options -> Plug-Ins tab and the Activate link next to the Show Crop plugin.
Usage
Once activated, the Show Crop plugin will add two new options to the Options -> Images tab. Crop Opacity is a number between 0 and 100 that is the percentage opacity of the mask. Crop Color is the color of the mask and can be any string that works as a CSS color. Literal colors (black, white, etc), hex colors (#cccccc, #123123), or rgb codes all work.
The JavaScript looks for pricing with something in it formatted as #x#. So '4x6 Print', '5x7" Print', '8x10 Inch Print', and '24x36 Canvas' all will work. '8 by 10 Print', 'A Really Big Print', '5"x7" Print' and '5 x 7 Print' will not work because the pattern does not match.
Feedback
We have tested this plugin in Firefox 3.5 and IE7. But it is very JavaScript dependent and may not work as needed in all browsers. Please let us know if you come across a browser where it doesn't and we'll see what we can do to get it running correctly. The scripts are written so that they will silently fail rather than display an error message so your clients shouldn't see any error messages. It just won't work.

Google Analytics Plugin
March

2010
A new plugin is available for ProofBuddy that allows you to use Google Analytics to track page views on your proofing site.
When activated, this plugin will add an option to the General options tab where you can enter your Google Web Property ID. This is a number available through Analytics that starts with UA- and identifies your site to Analytics. Enter this ID and save the options and, assuming the ID starts with UA-, which it should, ProofBuddy will start appending the tracking code to your client side pages.

Plugin free-for-all
One of the primary new features of ProofBuddy 2.0 was a plugin system. With the new version it is relatively easy for someone with a little PHP experience to build a plugin that can add functionality to ProofBuddy, add tabs to the admin side, create custom reports, add variables to the client side, or change how ProofBuddy performs certain tasks.
Problem is, we only have about half a dozen ideas for plugins. But we're also not the ones using ProofBuddy on a daily basis for our business. You are.
So what features does ProofBuddy not currently have that you would like to see. What sort of "it would be awesome if ProofBuddy did ..." thoughts have you had using ProofBuddy. We want to know. Leave a comment below with your ideas and we'll see what we can do about getting your "what if" into a plugin.
Edit...
Here's what we've got planned, or already have done...
Done
- Comments List - View all the comments for all your images in one place.
- Twitter Feed - Adds a menu to the dashboard viewing our Twitter feed. Similar to the menu that's already there to view our blog feed. We're using Twitter as a mix between announcements for ProofBuddy and photo related news we come across and think might be of interest.
- Google Analytics - Adds Analytics tracking codes to the client side so you can use Analytics to track your client views.
Planned
- Copy default price lists. This is the one we're currently working on and should be the next released.
- Link to this image. Display a link that your clients can use to post their image into a web page or forum post, with a link back to your site of course.
- Report that will print cards with the album passcode so you have them to pass out at events.
- Report similar to the order PDF with more options for customization
- Plugin to allow you to change the PayPal graphic that's used on the checkout page

Sales Chart plugin
Aug

2009
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.

Comments List Plugin

Once you have uploaded the comment list plugin folder click on the Options -> Plug-Ins tab to activate it. Once activated the new comments tab will be available.
