Here comes another major upgrade to FotoPlayer... V3.1! Loads of new features, lot of enhancements and user friendly feature customization thru skin settings tab. As always, I would really appreciate your feedback on this beta.
(Some FP users have already gone live with the developer version

A huge thanks goes to the users who've already provided their valuable comments for the developer version.)
Number of changes in v3.1 is around 60! Most of them are new features. Here is a summary of major features added. For the complete list, please refer the attached details text file.
Album in HTML version
FP can build the html version of the album on the fly and make your album search engine friendly! Users who don't have flash (2%) or flash/javascript disabled users will be prompted with a link to HTML version. Album can be viewed even with javascript disabled browsers!
Major upgrade to JAlbum FotoPlayer skin settings tab.
You can now configure more FP features from the comfort of JAlbum skin interface! Skin now checks for any special char in image metadata or title and converts to spaces for XML unsupported chars. Alert message is displayed at the end of album build.
E-card
You know what it is;) E-Card feature is integrated in FP. Ecard page and email content are provided in easy to edit template format.
(I think FP is the first JAlbum skin to introduce this feature!)

Ability to add extra cost for custom fields, alert if image aready exists in the cart, total amount rounding,cart grid tooltip, order file in XML format,shipping cost based on % of total amount, user notes for each image, Option to set discount in amount or percentage (based on subtotal or quantity), Option to set tax included in the price
Password protected fullsize image download
Create album which is viewable to all but only your customers/friends/family can download the original on a button click! You can even set an expiry date for each password!

Alternate emailing method to PHP Mail() command. SMTP allows to send email alerts from your server with your own email account. No need to rely on web hosting email servers.
High Quality image smoothing on the fly!
What could be more important than presenting your image in good quality? No pixelation when image autoscale feature is enabled. Build albums without worrying about your target users screen resolution.

Due to the number of features added, v3.1 is not compatible with previous built album or old version skin files. Please treat v3.1 as a new skin. You'll need to reconfigure the settings. Sorry. Also, for any license related, version upgrade queries, please contact by email and do not use this forum. Thanks.
