Indexu Help site

[esm]

UPDATE: You can visit the INDEXU help site at http://www.indexuhelp.com. I hope you decide to become a member as I will be devoting most my time and efforts to that site.

I have been a little busy this past week or so working on creating a INDEXU help site. I have a working agreement with dody on this and amoung other things I will be an authorized re-seller of INDEXU. I will offer enhanced templates, files with many of the more requested hacks already installed and 24/7 support for INDEXU ( well, not completely 24/7 but I think you get the picture ). I am working on several templates and a CSS version of INDEXU.

I hope to get the code for v4 in time to convert many of the existing hacks so they will be ready for the official release of v4. And maybe a few more!

More to come…

Well, you can do what I did to be able to cope with 24/7 support.

I bought myself an Italian Espresso maker and guess what - it does help and it gives me a lot of energi

The best thing to be able to keep up with the demanding support task is to eat healthy. Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and cut down on read meat. I have done that and it makes a world of difference.

Just my 2 cent's worth..

I cannot wait to see your support site.

Esm,
what is your current indexu site ?
I'd love to check it out.

trust me, you would be disappointed!

I use indexu for my high school - kinda like Classmates.com but not nearly as sophisticated. and it is just for my high school. no others.

I've never fixed the layouts completely, I don't use Hot, Editor's Pick or Sponsors. Not much need for those when all you have is classmates...

All of the sites here put mine to shame!

yep. I was spending way too much time on indexu support ( I like indexu ) and ignoring my other income producing activities. Although dody will still provide support on this forum, I think I can offer value to INDEXU users beyond what dody can provide. I can provide that service on a quicker and more detailed basis.

I am working on the following hacks and will post them on my site when they are completed:
[list=1][*]Account Manager - One login, one password for user and link with the ability to edit each link for that user from one screen
[*]Link Checker - verify your INDEXU site is listed on the submitted page (Recip_Link)
[*]Incoming hits - have the submitter put your code on their site to track incoming hits from them and sort on the incoming hits.
[*]Check for duplicate links before validation.[/list=1]

If I join the indexuhelp site, how would I get the 'juiced up' indexu, already with mods and hacks installed, if I already have the normal indexu.

I mean are you reselling the normal version and the 'juiced up' version, or are does it work?

[esm]

after I verify you have a valid INDEXU license, you can kind of pick and choose which MODs you want. well, to some degree.

I haven't completed all of the files ( that will always be a continous process ) but they will be available probably by Monday.

Assuming you have no hacks installed, its just a matter of uploading them and making any changes to the tables. If you have installed some hacks, then you would need to decide whether to keep them or not.

[TLC]

so do you install the hacks and mods or how much extra would it be for you to install them.

Anyway, the hacks and mods on indexuhelp would be different from the ones avaliable here, right?

And shouldn't there be some kind of estimate on a customization job before purchasing $50 an hour customization without you knowing what kind of job?

Great site you have there.

Will you only allow access to your hacks on a 'pay only' basis or will you provide access to the hacks free of charge for current Indexu users?

The great thing about the Internet is that a lot of things are free

[esm]

Thanks for comments!

It will remain a paid site as I am not an official part of INDEXU.

As I said, I was spending way too much time solving INDEXU problems and not enough with my income-producing activities. This forcing me do what I need to do...

And while a great deal of the internet is free, I think many of the folks that purchase INDEXU want to make money with it, as evidenced by the request for the PPC mod (probably the most viewed thread in the forums) and the requests to dody for more revenue enhancing features in v4.

I originally thought of offering my hacks on "per hack" basis and I may still do that. But take a look at the hacks for LINKS SQL and you will see that just a few will soon amount to a membership fee. And with v4 coming out by the end of the year may of the hacks will need to be re-done. And then, would you pay for them again? With the membership they are all free.

But I probably will post a schedule of hacks available for purchase. That way if you only need one or two hacks, then you can get them.

once you are a member of the forum, you will have access to a number of my MODs. Check out the Completed Hacks/MODs Forum. I have posted a number of my completed MODs there.
