All-New Re-Designed Default Templates
The default templates have been totally re-designed from the ground up using a div-based layout, giving the software a contemporary look and feel for you to offer your customers.
All-New File-Based Template System
The software now makes use of the popular "file based Smarty templates". These templates can be edited in the admin panel, using a new "Design" section in the admin, or they can be edited directly using FTP to upload changes to the files, whichever you prefer. This feature is an absolute dream for web developers. It comes with a "Standard" mode, as well as, an "Advanced" mode.
In the templates, you can easily include a sub-template that can be shared between several different templates. Also, use Smarty {PHP} tags to insert PHP code directly into your template. Note that PHP code can be inserted into any template.
Optional Just-In-Time (JIT) Login/Registration
Added a feature to allow your users to place most of their listing before being asked to login. If your user does not have an account on the site, there is an option to have the system automatically create one for them. You can implement this process or the standard registration process. The choice is yours.
This functionality is completely separate from the "anonymous listings" addon (which doesn't require the user to login at all), and can be enabled via a new switch on the Registration Settings admin page
Internationally Friendly
Added world-wide countries into the database, as well as, popular currency symbols. This allows you to take advantage a world market and apply applicable taxes and fees on a per region/country/province basis.
Pre-Set Video and Audio Upload Types with Stock Images
System is preset to let your customers upload their own video and audio files if you allow them to.
Improvements to LightBox
Changed the slideshow transition effects so that it fades the image in when proceeding to the next or previous image.
New "quick find" tab in the admin panel
Allows you to easily search for different items in the software, such as users, orders, invoices, and text.
Added "main" category to copy subcategory feature
Added the ability to copy a Main Category's Subcategories to be Main Categories themselves. For instance, this allows you to easily convert the default software categories to an Automobiles only site, or a Real Estate only site, etc.
Ability to Hide Fields from Users not currently logged in
This feature allows you to specify fields on the listing display page that will be hidden from view if your visitor is not currently logged in. Your visitors will be enticed to register in order to view that information.
Improved Fields to Use system
Totally re-wrote how fields to use works, to give more control to you, and allow Software Addons to easily use the system. This actually includes several new features rolled into one:
- The new settings allow "turning off" ANY field, and that includes disabling the title and description.
- There are different "display location" settings for each field, so that you can, for instance, make the title display on browsing pages, but not on search result pages. This, combined with the category and user group specific abilities, makes for very powerful and flexible options.
- For Enterprise editions, the new system allows setting the fields to use on a per category and/or per user group basis. This allows for the ability to disable a field from showing in a certain category, or show a field only if the user viewing it is in a specific user group.
- For Enterprise editions, the fields to use settings at the category and user group specific levels have much more power than the "category specific fields" had in previous versions. For instance, you can now change whether each field can be edited or not at the category-specific level.
You can specify display locations for only "browsing", "search by", and "search results", but we plan to add/move additional settings to use the new system in future releases (such as what fields are displayed in each module, or what fields are displayed during storefront navigation).
3rd Party Developers Take Note: Addons can add their own fields that would be administered on the main fields to use page, and can add their own "display locations" as well. More details can be found in the User Manual.
New payment gateway available: Netcash
The Netcash (http://www.vcs.co.za/) payment gateway is now available for use.
Logged in as: Admin
Added Logged In As: Username to the header of the admin pages, along with the user ID if logged in with a "multi-admin user".
Improvements to text search tool in admin panel
Text search in the admin panel has been almost completely re-done.
- Improved the "search algorithm" to use case-insensitive, exact phrase matches and perform much more accurately.
- Search results are separated into different tabs, one for each different type of search results (like page/module text, or addon text, or template contents, etc.).
- Added search results for addon text, file-based templates, and even template filenames.
- Added direct search query perma-link, making it easy to "show" another admin user a search: just send him the direct link.
- Search routine remembers the last search query performed (using a cookie), making it much easier to do multiple find/change operations without having to re-type the search query after every change.
Ability to specify category ID for the "from" and "to" when copying category questions
This allows specifying a category that might be "below" the currently displayed category level. This has been added to other category tools as well.
Refined the fields that can be used to "Add Cost"
During the listing process, any optional site-wide field that is marked as "adds cost" can now be displayed right below the other "price fields" such as the minimum bid and reserve price. This allows the seller to add a shipping cost, delivery fee, or whatever other costs the seller wants to add to the cost of their listing.
Added an Oodle feed which extends the existing RSS feed.
There is a new Oodle feed, that can be used to send a list of listings on your site to oodle.com. The file can be edited to change settings within the source code to customize various aspects of what information the feed displays.
Title Module text for full sized images page
Added ability to display the listing's category and title on the full-sized images page for the listing.
Added a New Seller Tag to be used in various templates
This seller tag can be placed within any template or anywhere a typical software tag might be placed.
Added listing title to edit confirmation email
The email sent to the seller and to you when a listing is successfully edited now contains the title of the listing in question.
This functionality is completely separate from the "anonymous listings" addon (which doesn't require the user to login at all), and can be enabled via a new switch on the Registration Settings admin page
Improved deleting of sub-categories
Improved the functionality of the delete category routine.
Allow removal of line-items on user's "My Account" home page
Blanking out any line-item's label on the my account home page will now cause that item to not appear. For instance, if you edit the text of "Lifetime Classifieds Sold:" to be empty, the numerical portion of that statistic will also not be shown on the My Account page.
