Looks to me like it should at least have qualified as a candidate for POTM. Hell it had to be one of the first successful user-generated plugins. I find it disappointing that no one but Dr Jekyll responded at all to your POTM question, Echo and all he did was laugh. I find it curious that the support and development team seems not to respond much at all (or at best to respond slowly and tepidly) when users are clearly trying to improve the product.

Frankly I think IndexU needs every bit of user community support it can possibly get and it seems clear to me that Frank and Bruce and the rest of the support team feel that way too -- at least most of the time. Heck rather than (or in addition to) building an indexutemplates.com site and trying to expand their own revenue base by selling more templates, it seems to me NiceCoder would be smart to open an IndexU marketplace site designed to help users create and earn income from anything they can add to the product. Everyone benefits from that kind of support.

I've seen fine hacks that were priced too high and there's too much energy being wasted by each developer to create a shopping carts, forums and and support systems to support $15 - $30 add-on products. If these guys were to provide the shopping cart, pricing advice and the use of their support ticket system for say, 30-40% of the sales price but require each developer to support the product he sells directly, it seems to me everyone would be better off over the long term.

Under the present circumstances, it's no wonder dedicated longtime supporters of the product like ESM, InspireMe, MPDaddy and others grow discouraged and disappear. IMO, everyone who is making a contribution here DESERVES to be appreciated and applauded -- especially when they're going out of their way to try to help -- rather than being insulted, attacked, challenged or ignored which seems to happen rather often here.

Thanks, Echo. I for one appreciate this hack and can see a direct use for it on one of my sites real soon. But to make this hack work and get direct benefit from it, it clearly needs to be installed on a site that includes plenty of original content and NOT just a bunch of links to other places.

Hmmmm... I think I'm gonna give this plugin a try real soon, Echo. Thanks... and congrats!
