Downloadable slideshows and other new features
We recently completed a release that includes a bunch of new features.
- Show your slideshows offline, when no network connection is present
Ever want to show a Phanfare slideshow at a party or outdoor event
where no network connection is present? Now you can with our
downloadable slideshows. You will notice that the new album and
image options menu on the web includes a downloadable
slideshow. This slideshow can be played offline and shows images
edge-to-edge on your computer. Music and videos are retained, as are
the Phanfare slideshow controls. Fow now, the slideshow can only be
downloaded and played on a PC. Mac support is coming very soon. - New web album layout
We introduced a new clean album layout that makes starting the
slideshow easier to find, accommodates larger captions, and
consolidates all of the features that were previously below the fold
into one easier-to-see menu on the right. Here are more details on using on
the new layout.For Phanfare purists who don’t want to lose the screen real estate
to the new album option menu, you can opt to have album and image
options appear in a context menu over the imagefor all of your
albums.Regardless of whether you choose to hide the album option menu, this
new album view includes a full screen image mode when you click on
the image; repagination of the thumbs and auto-sizing of the image
if you resize your browser; better looking next and previous
buttons; and the ability to add HTML to your captions. - Bulk download whole albums from the web
Often requested by all of you, you can now download the entire
contents of an album, including original images and archival videos,
as one very big zip file from the web. This option appears on your
website in that album option menu. You can only download the whole
album if downloading of originals is on for the album.The ability to download the whole album from the PC client is coming
soon. - MyPhanfare gets updated
Several new improvements to MyPhanfare, including the ability to
access your Phanfare address book and the ability to play videos
from within MyPhanfare. As a reminder, MyPhanfare is meant as a lightweight control panel
for your Phanfare account when using the Windows or Mac organizer is
not convenient. You can login to MyPhanfare at
my.phanfare.com. - We repaired the Christmas lights
Just in time to put up holiday photos and videos, we fixed the
Christmas style. Previously the lights on the style were not working
(no joke). They should display in most browsers now.For a quick summary, here are the release notes.
