Pringo

Foundation

The constantly growing set of features allow for a Webmaster to easily create a very robust site on a flexible architecture. These features enable Pringo to power an entire site, or to simply enhance the user experience on an existing site, regardless of whether the site has existing memberships or not.

User registration filtering

Site owners can create regex's and patterns to generate and control what users can register on the site.

Block New Signups

The Webmaster can close off a site registration to new users.

Members Only

Pringo can co-exist with a current site that may or may not have members. If the members only option is enabled, Pringo assumes that all member registration will occur on an existing site rather than on Pringo.

Custom Start and Login Pages

Configure which pages a user will be directed to when they have reached a section that requires a log in, or configure the homepage.

Webmaster Email and Paypal

Select email address for outgoing system messages as well as the Paypal ID to be used for payment transactions made.

Avatars Dimensions

Force Avatar Dimensions

This setting will make it so any avatar, cropped or not, will be maximized and scaled then cropped to fit that exact dimension.

Instant Avatar Reprocessing

Function will go through every user in Pringo and regenerate all avatars to maintain consistency (if the Webmaster decides to change the sizes at any time).

Site Video Screenshot Dimensions

Settings will apply to the galleries for any videos uploaded by the Webmaster. This will forward a few frames or seconds to ensure it's not just a blank black screen.

Automatic Buddies

When new users sign up, their buddy list will automatically populate with the users you specify as well as the groups they belong to. For example, setting robert(admin) will create a buddy named robert and throw him in a group called admin so the users will know who to turn to.

Simple Hit Statistics

Keeps track per day the number of unique IPs, referring links, signups, and more.

Moderators

Enable users of the site to log into the admin and become moderators, permissions must be set carefully.

Explicit Moderator Permissions

Permissions for moderators of the main Pringo admin are extremely detailed. Every single page must be specifically granted to the moderator. Pages however perform no changes to the database; those will be controlled by granting permissions to a specific function.

User Data Collection

System tracks the IP address, browser type, and time at each log in, as well as general religion, ethnicity, education, drinker, smoker, personality, humor style, sexual preferences, and marital status.

FAQ Database

Maintain an online question and answer database.

back to topBackend

Pringo is a Web 2.0 platform on which websites, communities, and online community are built upon. When building Pringo from the ground up, in every one of the tens of thousands of lines of code, the idea of expandability, scalability, and reliability have been taken into consideration. Here are some key features that enrich the website experience as a whole

Open Source Software

All our software is built on open source languages and programs.

SOAP Gateways

Our SOAP backend allows developers to integrate pringo seamlessly into existing applications.

REST Interface

The simple to use interface allows developers to use other technologies for a presentation layer. For instance, an entire site could be built with an Adobe Flash front end.

Callback Objects

Hooks are placed within the engine at key points of data processing that allow developers to specify callbacks to be called to manipulate data in any way that gives them the best result.

Powerful Template Engine

The Pringo template engine provides total flexibility aspects of outputted front end data, unlike other plain software companies attempting to do something similar but allowing for little customization. The template engine allows site administrators to focus on site design and administration rather than programming details, yet is powerful enough to support programming control structures and functions.

Inline PHP

The template engine even allows for PHP code to be placed within these templates.

Media Processing Servers

Pringo maintains a stable of media processing servers that can take screenshots of any video, flash, website, image, or even music!

Data Hashing and Clustering

Our software and hardware are built to scale horizontally.

back to topFundamentals

The core functionality of the backend of Pringo is based on dynamic site templates. A fresh Pringo account will yield a blank page, the Webmaster has control over every single aspect of the site as far as design and functionality and doesn't have to worry about the technical details of things such as database management, clustering, data hashing, security, load balancing, etc.

Header and Footer Templates

Every site template begins with top and bottom HTML code that encapsulates all the content on the site. Pringo allows the Webmaster to edit the templates online.

Commit Changes

All changes made in the admin will not become live immediately in case of errors, or needed review by different authorities. The changes can be previewed before they are live to all users. Changes are not made live until they are committed.

Revisions

Each saved change that is made is saved as a revision so an admin can go back to a previous revision if there is an issue.

Page-locks

In the admin, there is a note if another admin or moderator is editing that page so that there is no overwritten code.

Smart Admin Detection

All changes that are made by the admin are ONLY visible to the admin at the time that they are logged in. This allows the moderator/admin to see an entirely different site from a normal user concurrently.

Custom Menus

Edit different objects for site menus for people that are logged in and those that are not.

Configurable Control Panel

Customize member's control panels. By default the control panel contains links to edit their profile, homepage, blogs, galleries, and albums.

DB-Driven CSS

For site that are 100% driven by Pringo, gives Webmasters a way to split off the styles from the structures.

Submenus

Edit sub menus allowing administrators to add/remove certain features from the user's view.

Unlimited Custom Pages

Add as many custom content pages to the site.

Pringo Widget Styles

All checkboxes, textboxes, textareas, select, submit, and radio buttons have consistent style names to allow Webmasters to change any of the forms.

Custom Friendly URLs

Custom pages have configurable friendly URLs for better search engine indexing.

Per Page Template Precedence

Every single page on Pringo can be customized to override the title, content, top and bottom templates.

Member Only Pages

Enabled member only access on any page to override Pringo's default settings.

Content Objects (COs)

Allows the flexibility to add pieces of content from the site, other sites, or even RSS/atom/rdf feeds hosted from Pringo or externally.

RSS/Atom/RDF COs

Webmaster can link out to an RSS, atom, or rdf feed. Pringo will parse the feed for usable item tags, and transform the feed into templates similar to the articles, galleries, and every other template within Pringo.

Extract COs

For external sites that have none of the above listed feeds, Webmasters can create an extraction content object that will take the content on any page on any website while masking the browser agent from the remote host.

Markers for Extract COs

If you are only extracting a small section of an external website, the Webmaster can specify Pringo to search for beginning and ending text. Also, when taking the content in between the beginning and ending markers, you can also specify whether to include the marker as part of the content. This can be done individually.

Intelligent CO URL Rewriting

Extraction content objects are intelligently parsed so that all relative links, hrefs, src's, and embeds are rewritten to avoid broken links.

CO TTL and Caching

Time To Live on a per-object basis can be set. Engine will automatically clean and refresh cache when needed.

CO Sharing

Share content objects with other sites using Pringo with special object codes.

Internal Objects

Articles, albums, media, submit, users, etc can support an unlimited number of content objects to be placed throughout the site.

Custom Templates per Feature

Similar to the internet objects above, every feature has a template associated with it. The templates per feature are more robust and cover a larger scope of content.

Member Feedback

Queue for member requests, bug reports, and abuse issues.

BugTracker integration

Webmasters can directly create bug tickets with Pringo administrators and connect to our proprietary bugtracker in the admin for requests and/or questions.

Phrases and Responses

Webmaster can customize all the plain text/html email responses and user notifications that the user receives for activity occurring on the site (i.e. join emails, invitation emails).

Predefined Data Variable Tags

Every section of Pringo for example will display a list of pre-defined tags such as [title] or [description] to be used in the templates.

Automatic Category Tags

Every category on the site will also have its own [tag] as well.

Tag Logic and Control Structures

For every [variable] that exists, the template will output the value of that variable.

Simple "if" Logic

Logic is true if the variable is not empty (example: Your hobbies are [hobbies]).

"if" operators

No parameters implies that the structure is checking for a non-empty value.

"else" control

s seen in the previous example, is supported logic and should be self explanatory to any basic programmer.

[data|modifiers]

[variables] can have additional modifiers to manipulate the data before it is outputted. Some of the modifiers include uppercase, lowercase, date formatting, escaping, stripping tags, and much more.

back to topArticles Management

This object type is best used for reviews, stories, and news and is the basic method of displaying content. While we call this feature articles, it can be renamed on the site to be anything from journals, to news, or even to product reviews. With the power of keywords and categories, all of these journals, news, and reviews can all co-exist together. The use of Pringo's dynamic templating allows the flexibility for this.
