Nice plugin.
I’m getting the following error msg:
Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp_JasonArroyo/wp-content/themes/jasonarroyo/admin/admin-interface.php on line 924
Hmm..
Seems like a server/PHP related message however we are more than happy to investigate further and provide a top-notch solution.

Hello, I’ve watch your video tutorial and setting about how to retrive informations on front end, but I’d like to know if is possible to echo variable in a if statement; in other word, I’d like to check if the variable exist, and if not, print other. Sorry for my bad english:) Thank You for the answer.
Hi There,
Yes this is indeed possible.
Here’s a quick overview of how this code might look:
<?php
$sample_text_field = get_option('yourtheme_sample_text_field');
if('truethemes_rocks' == $sample_text_field):
echo $sample_text_field;
endif;
?>
....and of course the above if-statement would indeed get echoed because, well TrueThemes rocks. (lol just having fun)
Hope this helps my friend.

Hi,
Our developer shared this issue with me would really appreciate if you could help us asap because some clients are complaining:
when I add textfield “name” with std value:
$options[] = array( "name" => __('LinkedIn','framework_localize'),
"id" => $shortname."_social_li",
"std" => "http://linkedin.com",
"type" => "text");
I go to – wp-admin/themes.php?page=siteoptions, and see default value http://linkedin.com at textfield LinkedIn, good.
I clear this textfield and save with empty value. good, save null value.
I go to homepage (or other page my site) and when i return at Admin panel value my field (i save null value) include std value.
Sure thing my friend, we are very happy to take a closer look and help to resolve.

Why isn’t this plugin in the WordPress category? Congrats on Elite by the way.
Thanks so much my friend _
ProPanel is technically not a plugin but rather a set of Wordpress PHP files.
Cheers 
Hi there. GREAT plugin.
I’d like to create an options page with simple modifiers for my client, like background color, font size etc.
I was wondering if there was a simple way to reference/echo these values to a css file, rather than having them as inline CSS or in the head.
Many thanks.
Hi There my friend,
We’re so glad you’re pleased with the plugin.
The solution for your request is to create a “dynamic PHP stylesheet”. This isn’t a function of the ProPanel per-say however can be achieved fairly easily.
Here’s a brief outline of the steps:
- Create a CSS Stylsheet however name it with a .php extension. For example: custom-style.php
- Call this stylesheet in the head of your page just as you would call any normal stylesheet. For example:
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/custom-style.php' />
- Open up your custom-style.php and drop in the below code. This code will connect to WP and allow you to access your stored values from Options Panel and will also set the proper ‘header type’ to CSS.
<?php
$absolute_path = explode('wp-content', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$wp_load = $absolute_path[0] . 'wp-load.php';
require_once($wp_load);
/**
Do stuff like connect to WP database and grab user set values
*/
header('Content-type: text/css');
header('Cache-control: must-revalidate');
?>
- Lastly write your CSS just as normal (using PHP echo since it’s a PHP file) and you can then use your stored values throughout.
Hope this information is helpful my friend.
If you run into any snags you can find more resources on Google by searching something like “PHP Variables CSS Wordpress”.
Here’s a great article with additional details (and is also where we grabbed the wp-load code): http://css-tricks.com/css-variables-with-php/
Cheers 
Superb. Many thanks, TrueThemes.
The level of your support is a credit to the Envato authors community.
You’re very welcome my friend. Thank you for your kind words.

- Can I bundle it with my theme so that the customer does not have to install it (e.g. make it load by default when the user installs my theme).
- Do you have the following fields: Google Web Fonts, image radio buttons.
And also the last one – can I make a field to appear depending on a selection of the other field. Let’s say I have a select box (Image, Solid color, Gradient) called background type, and once they select an “Image” I want the image upload field to appear and the color field to dissapear.
Thanks so much for your ProPanel interest my friend.
As per your questions:
1. Yes ProPanel can be bundled with your theme by purchasing the Extended License.
2. ProPanel has image radio buttons but not a Google Web Fonts field. There are a variety of ways to incorporate Google Web Fonts depending on your specific needs. One easy way is to use a Textarea field and have your users paste in the code that is auto-generated by Google Web Fonts website.
3. Hiding/showing fields is not built into the ProPanel by default. A bit of custom jQuery can definitely make this possible.
Hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to assist.
Cheers 
Thanks for the quick and extensive reply. I love the way your plugin looks, much better than the competition.
Hi, i am sorry if this question had been asked. If i purchased the extended license, can i integrate it with different wordpress themes that i have created and sell it on themeforest? Or do i need different extended license for different themes? (eg. 1 extended license -> 1 theme, 10 extended license -> 10 themes)
Hi There,
Thanks so much for your ProPanel interest my friend.
The Extended License is valid for a single application so 10 extended license -> 10 themes.
Please give us a shout if there’s anything else at all we can do to assist.
Cheers 
No problem, thanks for the clarification. I still bought it anyway;)
Thank you so very much for allowing us to serve you.
Cheers my friend.

hi, i see your panel it looks great
, i want ask you which differences there are between your panel and Slightly Modded Options Framework ?
thx
J.
Hey J,
Thanks so much for your ProPanel interest my friend.
The changes done to the original version of theme options are related to the data saving (ie propanel has made this more efficient) as well as some minor tweaks to the CSS/ layout of the panel.
Hope this information is helpful my friend.
Cheers 
thank you very much 4 your explanation 
Hi, I have received an update mail this morning. My question is, since the panel has been modified acording to my need, I just want to know what kind of update you did within the panel.
Sure thing my friend.
We made minor PHP adjustments to adhere to Envato’s latest requirements. We’ve also updated every function name to start with “propanel_” as per Envato’s requirements.

Allright, total n00b question here. Does ProPanel meet the new standards for ThemeForest WordPress development?
And can I combine ProPanel with the Theme Customizer API of WordPress?
Thanks in advance!
Hi There,
Thanks so much for your ProPanel interest my friend 
Yes at first glance we believe that ProPanel is indeed compatible with the latest Envato standards.
Please just let us review the new standards once again and we’ll respond back as soon as possible to confirm for sure.
Cheers 
Thanks for replying fast! Allright, I’ll wait for your confirm. Cheers!
Thanks so much for your patience my friend.
We’ve reviewed the requirements and there were some minor adjustments we needed to make to the code in order to be fully compatible with the new Envato requirements.
We’ve went ahead and made the coding changes and have just submitted the updated files to CodeCanyon.
New files generally go live within 24 hours or so. We’ll give you another shout as soon as we receive confirmation that the new files have been posted.
Cheers 
This is what I call service! Thank you very much! Cheers!
New files are posted! Cheers my friend 
Allright! Thank you very much! Just purchased the Regular License to experiment with it. Hopefully I’ll come back and purchase the extended version for my theme. Cheers!
Brilliant. Thanks so much for your support my friend. We’re here for you if you need us.
Cheers 
very amazing. This really helped me.
how to make a upload favicon with this .?
Awesome! So glad to hear it my friend. 
Using the upload option-type is a perfect fit for a favicon upload. You can then add a bit of code to the header.php of your website to properly display the favicon.
For example:
<?php
$favicon = get_option('favicon_upload');
?>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="<?php echo $favicon; ?>">

would it be possible to define presets with your options panel? I mean let’s say I want color presets defined for my theme and would set defaults for red, blue, dark, light etc… each would use a set of variables.
how would I go about that?
thanks
Yes.
Each option has an “std” property.
The “std” property is the “default value” for any option.
Here’s an example of pre-setting an option to the color red:
$options[] = array( "name" => __('Color Picker','framework_localize'),
"desc" => __('This is a color picker.','framework_localize'),
"id" => $shortname."_sample_color_picker",
"std" => "#CC0000",
"type" => "color");
Hope this is helpful my friend.

Hi Guys,
LOVE the panel, awesome code. Rated it 5 stars and would’ve rated 100 stars if I could’ve. 
I am asking the same question as the previous member. I would like to use this a plug in settings page. I have pretty sufficient knowledge of php, but I am a programmer, so I imagine I could handle it just fine, however, could you maybe steer me in the right direction on how to do that?
I know for certain this is NOT something you’re obligated to discuss at all, and I know you’re busy and your time is valuable. I was just looking for a few small first steps, which files to work in, etc. if you can spare a few minutes for that. Mind you I am not trying to take advantage, I know this is beyond the scope of your support, just trying to get a head start here, if possible 
Thanks,
Nicole
Hey Nicole,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the ProPanel.
The ProPanel can indeed be used for Plugins however it was not built to do so and will require a small bit of modification to get things running smoothly.
We’re unfortauntely not currently available for customization work however we’ve outlined a few notes below to give you an idea of the work involved:
The 'requiring' of files and the enqueuing and registering of all admin scripts and css will be different so the paths will need to be changed from theme to plugin. Everything else should work just as normal.
We hope this information is helpful for you.
Cheers 
Thank you! (Sorry so late – just saw this!)
Can I use this for customize a wordpress plugin setting?
Hi There,
ProPanel is built for Wordpress Themes however if you have sufficient coding knowledge it can likely be used for a plugin settings page.
Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help.
Cheers 
In the demo code you provide the following:
//Sample Advanced Array - The actual value differs from what the user sees
$sample_advanced_array = array("image" => "The Image","post" => "The Post");
This is a very handy feature, however the code displays the array value and saves the array value. The key is not used anywhere. It makes it pointless.
Be great if you could fix this
Sure thing my friend.

Do I have to buy an extended licence to use this on a theme that will be for sale?
Yes. You can use within your theme for resale by purchasing the Extended License.

Hi,
I just bought it´s pretty awesome, however I´m using a image radio buttons and the value is not being saved. Why could this be?
I choose an image button, save changes and when I refresh the options panel the first option is selected again. And when I retrieve the option in the fronted it´s not printing. Help!
Thanks
