The NEW IndexU Manual/Guide - Your opinions

[Bruceper]

IF (notice it's a big if) I were to write a manual for IndexU or a help type page/site, what do you want to see there?

I need examples of what you have the most difficulty with so I can try and incorporate that into whatever I may do.

Should I include installation? I really don't think so since Nicecoder offers free installation. So why detail installation if it can be done for free?

I think the more important aspects are categories, links, keywords, meta tags, payments and all the other features you find in the admin panel and how to customize IndexU.

But, let me know what YOU think. Please don't let this be a discussion, just your opinion of what needs the most attention and should be written down somewhere.

Agree best to start with basics.....BTW What happen to help desk...Im getting more of those self approvals and the suspended cats....spin scatches head

[Bruceper]

The help desk is down due to a bug/issue. So for now it's just email support.

great idea.

i think it is great to have a guide how to do the finetunning of the script.

[Bruceper]

That's being included at as well. The first part of the tutorial is done which goes from creating the tables in mysql, unzipping, uploading, CHMOD and initial setup to just get the site working.

Now I'm trying to go panel by panel to show what can be done and how to do it.

[piet]

great work.

please send me a copy when you are done bruce

[Bruceper]

It will be available both online and in PDF format. I'll make an announcement once it's all done.

im surprised that this idea has not been thought or implemented earlier.

as for the installation, since at times support or having to wait on someone can be a burden, please show how to install so that the user has one less barrier to deal with when it comes to installing their vital software for their site.

having to wait for someone to install puts the user in a "hostage" situation and that simply sucks.

overall, let me know because i want to get it myself.

It has been before, it's just being redone.
