fluxUp! now brandable

October 17, 2007

fluxUp! is our free desktop tool that allows you to upload files to your fluxiom account with drag-and-drop ease. We are proud to announce a new version of fluxUp! today.

Next to some under the hood improvements, the appearence of fluxUp! can now be customized. fluxUp! uses the brand settings (like color scheme and logo) in your fluxiom account to visually integrate fluxUp! into your business. And sure fluxUp! is Leopard and Windows Vista ready.

Big thanks to Alexander Danmayer for the great work on fluxUp!

fluxiom API Update Part 1

October 05, 2007

Update: The API update is deployed!

We are constantly improving fluxiom and today we announce some improvements to the API.

On October 15 we will deploy a new version of the API which will add branding information to the account info. With this it will be possible to brand your fluxiom add-ons.

This update will only modify the /api/account.xml call:

$ curl -X GET -u <username>:<password> https://<subdomain>.fluxiom.com/api/account.xml

The returned XML code will contain a new branding_info tag, which will be present if the branding of the account is active and will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<account>
  <subdomain>account</subdomain>
  <company_name>wollzelle GmbH</company_name>
  <account_holder>Dieter Komendera</account_holder>
  <address>Mystreet 123</address>
  <country>AT</country>
  <location>Under the Danube</location>
  <zip_code>12434</zip_code>
  <plan ssl="true" stages="true" multiple_users="true" versions="false" branding="true" full_text_search="true">Pro</plan>
  <branding>active</branding>
  <branding_info>
    <title>kommen's fluxiom</title>
    <font_color>#ffffff</font_color>
    <top_color>#ff4444</top_color>
    <bottom_color>#555555</bottom_color>
    <logo>/t/12345abcd/logo.gif</logo>
    <background_image>/t/12345abcd/header-background.gif</background_image>
    <updated type="datetime">2007-10-02T11:10:48+02:00</updated>
  </branding_info>
  <trial>false</trial>
  <stats used_space="629953890" used_bandwidth="62233621" available_space="838852608" available_bandwidth="838857179"/>
  <created_on type="datetime">2007-05-23T00:00:00+02:00</created_on>
  <updated_on type="datetime">2007-05-23T00:00:00+02:00</updated_on>
</account>

Description of the tags in branding_info:

• title The title specified in the branding section, which is normally displayed in the browser window title
• font_color The calculated font color fluxiom uses to display text in the header.
• top_color The top color specified in the branding section. This is the top color of the header in the gradient.
• bottom_color The bottom color specified in the branding section. This is the bottom color of the header in the gradient.
• logo URL to a GIF image in the format of 150×79px which is the generated logo.
• background_image URL to a GIF image in the format of 10×79px which is the generated header background gradient.
• updated Date when the branding was last updated. Gives plugins the ability to cache the branding images.

In the next weeks we will add two new API features:

• Ability to tag assets
• Retrieving generated thumbnail images of assets

Details follow!

fluxiom website update

September 13, 2007

fluxiom comes with an awesome interface and lots of UI effects. So, it’s logical that the fluxiom web site could use a little bit more visual eye candy, and we’ve worked hard to relaunch it in new glory.

First thing, we’ve reduced the start page to provide a nice and welcoming introduction to fluxiom:

Second, we added more details on the features page, including more and richer screenshots (try zooming in!). And sure enough some cool effects like our Rocket Columns on the features and the fluxUp! pages, when switching tabs.

The new fluxiom site features screenshots and images from Viennese photographer Christof Wagner, who allowed us to show off fluxiom by using his very own fluxiom account. A big thank you!

And, last but not least, we’ve added real-time searching on the fluxiom blog:

We hope you enjoy the new site as much as we do!
