Themify Framework Updated to 1.1.6
We've been working very hard on improving the Themify framework. For those who are not a big fan of XxxXxxxx, we have a good news in this latest release. Now you can use the WordPress generated thumbnails for the post image instead of the XxxXxxxx script with our themes. Below are the details about this update.
WordPress Feature Image
Themify themes uses XxxxXxxxx (similar to XxxXxxxx script) to generate thumbnail images with different dimensions on the fly. However, some users are unable to use the image script due to server compatibility. Users have always been able to disable the image script via the theme option panel, but then images have to be manually cropped before uploading to the server which can be an inconvenience for some users. For this reason, we enhanced our framework to allow you to select the thumbnails that are generated with WordPress. With the new version, once the image script is disabled, a dropdown will be available for you to choose which image size to use. The image sizes (thumbnail, medium, large) can be set at WordPress Media Settings. In other words, you can specify 250 x 250px medium size to be used in the archive pages and 560 x 300px large size for single post page.
Regenerate Thumbnails
We've also integrated a regenerate thumbnails feature in the framework. The regenerate thumbnails allows you to re-generate a new set of thumbnails that are already uploaded to the blog. This tool is useful if you've changed any of the thumbnail dimensions on the Media Settings page.
Post Image Migrator
In this new framework version, the post image uploaded via the Themify Custom Panel will be attached to the post and set as the WordPress Featured Image automatically. For those who are using the older versions where a custom field was used to handle the post image, you can use the Post Image Migrator to convert the Post Image custom field to WordPress Featured Image.
Shortcode Button
Along with many new parameters added to the shortcodes, we've added a shortcode button on the editor to make inserting shortcodes easier and faster. Now you can specify the shortcode parameters using the visual dialog box.

Shopo: A New Ecommerce Theme
Please welcome our third ecommerce theme, Shopo. It is designed for larger shops with large selection of products. It has many promotional areas: duel navigations in the header, welcome message, feature slider and product slider. Functionality wise, it is similar to the other two ecommerce themes that we have: MinShop and ShopDock. Unlike the traditional shopping cart experience, the ajax shopping cart built in this theme allows your customers to add/remove items from the cart without redirecting the page. And of course it is responsive! The layout automatically adapts to user's viewport area beautifully. It works on desktop and mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, and Android.
As usual we are offering a 30% disount code for this new theme. Use the coupon code "shopo" for a 30% discount off this theme until May 31, 2012.
PTB Search
The PTB Search addon allows you to create advanced search forms for the post types created with the Post Type Builder. It helps users to search for a specific post type by filtering keywords, categories, taxonomies, and custom fields. It comes with the easy to use drag & drop form builder as seen in Post Type Builder. In addition, it also allows you to create multiple search forms for the same post type, so you can create different search forms for various purposes (eg. create a simple search form in the header area and advanced search form in sidebar widget).
Highlight features:
- Drag & drop form builder (all post types along with taxonomies and custom fields created with PTB are synced with the form builder)
- Create unlimited search forms for the same post type
- Search forms can be displayed any where using shortcode
PTB Submissions
Allow users to submit and edit posts for your custom post types with the Submissions addon. Built to work hand-in-hand with the Post Type Builder plugin, administrators have the options to charge a submission fee, auto publish, or approve submissions manually. It works seamlessly with custom post types, taxonomies, meta boxes, and templates created with the Post Type Builder — this means the fields on the submission forms are synced with the custom fields and templates.
Try out the demo to see how it works. We have a few examples of submission forms, but the possibility is limitless: Property, Movie, and Recipe.
Features
- Drag & Drop Form Builder - Create submission forms that are associated with all your custom post types and its custom fields.
- User Submissions Management - Users are given the capability to create a user account, where they can edit, review, and delete their submissions.
- Admin Submissions Management - Admin can search/filter submissions for a specific post type, author, time range, and payment status.
- Auto-Publish Submissions - Allow submissions to publish without admin approval.
- Optional Payment - Allows admin to charge a fee using PayPal for submissions.
- Email Notification - Email notification is sent to both user and admin whenever a form is submitted.
