One Theme v2.0 BETA 3

BETA 3 has been released today and is by far the most exciting release so far. Notable new additions include the Thumbnail Generator and the Localization tool.

In previous versions of One Theme users had to prepare each thumbnail image for use with One Theme on their local machine. Cropping or resizing the image in an image editor such as Photoshop or Gimp to the correct size for each thumbnail type. Once that was done, the image had to be uploaded to a server using an FTP client. The URL of that image then had to be added to the chosen post’s Custom Fields for each thumbnail. This could all be quite a hassle if you had 3000 posts on your site, and the common practice in such cases was to simply de-activate thumbnails, much to the detriment of the aesthetics of your blog.

The Thumbnail generator changes things dramatically. Consider the following:

You have an image on your machine that is bigger than the five different thumbnail types for One Theme.

You open One Panel and load up the Thumbnail Generator. You use the tool to select a post, browse for the file on your machine, and click upload. The Thumbnail Generator then takes your image, resizes and crops it to size for each thumbnail type in the theme. The next thing it does, is automatically add the Custom Field entries to the post you selected. Great right?

If that isn’t enough, you also have the choice of scanning the post for images. Or entering an image URL from the web.

Also in previous versions of One Theme; changing language terms was problematic. It required a php file to be edited by the user and often resulted in errors for our customers. In this version we have added the Localization tool. Now all you have to do is type in the text you are looking for, select it, and edit. Much safer, and no editing of files.

Changelog:
Added:
Localization Module
Added: Thumbnail Generator
Added: Ajax Loading Images
Added: Upload OPD File
Added: Search Pagination

This is hopefully the last BETA, and we expect to release version 2.0 on the 15th of March. Thank you all for your kind comments and encouragement!

    Hey Guys,

    One Theme 2.0 was pushed to the member’s system yesterday for existing customers to enjoy. We do seem to be having some issues with the Zend version so far, but we will iron that out over the next day or so.

    The reason we haven’t done a full press release is that we need to make some drastic changes to our shopping cart and internal systems (in order to accommodate the new themes) before we can start selling it.

    Allright guys, I`ve downloaded 2.0 by the “update” option and succesfully installed it. One Panel is great, but I cant where the five themes you were talking about are located? Are they included in the package or will be sold separately?

    Hi guys! I downloaded your theme 2.0 but I don’t see any of those 5 new themes, you’d promised. Could you clarify the situation?

    I think it’s $39 per theme, you’d have to get the full package I believe if you want an extra One-Panel license.

    @ Tinh

    New banners and a new affiliate system have been setup for version 2.0 release.

    The themes cost $39
    The license keys cost $60

    The more license keys you buy, the bigger the discount :)

    Are the 3 Layouts of the “classic” One-Theme still available, or is there only one Layout in Version 2.0?

    All the old layouts, news, blog, default are still avaliable, simple switch between them in the “Home Layouts” section of One Panel.

    As the overall product we used to sell changed a lot, we can’t release these new themes without a new website.

    The new site is well underway, should be released in two to three days from now, keep an out for some new themes in the next few weeks we haven’t publicly announced :)
