INDEXU v4.0 preview website.

[dody]

Dear indexu users,

I have put preview of INDEXU v4.0 in live website at www.dodyshopping.com. The admin control panel is disabled.

This version 4.0 is using improved v3.x engine. We have done a lot of speed optimation on database design and php coding. As the result as this v4.0 preview, can handle database 3 times than v3.x. And of couse if you have less database, it will load faster.

Our goal with this version is to provide more stable system and more performance. In addition to reach maximum speed, v4.0 implement new output buffering system. Indexu now able to create cache build into static page. You can set how long the cache time for each page in admin panel.

To determine are you loading the cached page or not, right click on your browser and select 'view source'. If you see

<!-- this is cache page -->

then you're loading cached page. In www.dodyshopping.com we set cache time to one hour for category page, detail page, top, new, hot, and editor pick page. For the frontpage we set to 0, mean this page will not create cache. This is because we need to track the user name, who's online, etc. That should be loaded from database and each user have different page. You can cache the frontpage if you do not show user login information and who's online.


In short, Indexu v4.0 have page load as fast as static page and the server load is very minimum as low as static page as well.

For indexu users who use indexu to win search engine ranking, this v4.0 implement mod rewrite. So search engine will see indexu pages as static pages as .html, no more .php. You can expect indexu become 100% spidered by any search engines.

www.dodyshopping.com contain over 120,000 weblinks and 5000 categories. So you can expect to have over 125,000 static pages almost instantly. Then it's up to you then how to customize the page to win search engine ranking.


Please post your opinion here.
Thank you for keep supporting us working with indexu.

Dody, I hope when v4 is released, you would separate out the files needed for upgrading v3 to v4. I believe many v3 users like myself have made a lot of customization to v3 and we would definitely appreciate that you would consider us when it comes to upgrade. Thanks.

[dody]

The're no change with template files.
All you need is replace the old .php
And of course there're some new files too.
The upgrade script will perform syncrhonization your database.

If you using hacking codes, you may need to rewrite again the hacking codes.

Hello,

some smaller comments:

- http://www.dodyshopping.com./browse-...les-353-1.html -> i got also sites with session id - can you deactivate that - no sense and no sense for .html

- is it possible to write the category name with "-" instead of "_" ?

- be aware of special letters in the category names like in germany or spain ( Ä ä Ö ö Ü ü ß and more I can't show here because of the forum settings).

- is it possible to show sub categorys as they are in the url:
/main-´category/name-of-sub-category.html
(if it isn't to much work because of path tag)

- possible to write the folder without "browse" or change it ?

- pagination MUST be static or you get double content:
http://www.dodyshopping.com./browse....ch=2&cat=96411
-> klick back ->
http://www.dodyshopping.com./browse....ch=1&cat=96411

- when can we can a testversion ?

Regards
Frank

So this is version 4.0 (looks like 3.2 with new design to me) - What's more too it than what you already have posted?

like i.e. some of these things said about the new INDEXU 4.0 ?

INDEXU API. Enable developer and advance user to integrate existing website or other php script. This will force us to rework old codes about 40%.

More powerful template using smarty (smarty.php.net)

More close to real portal. Adding more module: poll script and news posting.

Related search. For example if you search 'php', then search result will generate other related seach term used other users like 'php script', 'php portal', 'learn php', etc.

Shopping cart. You can use for product listing. Or as temporary favorite listing. No need user signup. In download site, it could be implemented as 'put and burn on cd'.

Overal rank. If you see amazon product detail, you'll see how the product rank globally.

Good frank. This is for sure in next release!
'Add a listing' page will have checkbox to newsletter signup

Kosmo just asking me to add reciprocal links here
http://www.nicecoder.com/community/...p?threadid=1428

And esm direct me to this like
http://www.idevdirect.com/software/idevreciplinkcheck/

It should be a nice addition because it will generate more traffic too

We'll keep releasing new version each 6 months, so it would be in september or october. Version 4 is took time because I'm writing new engine, new architecture to anticipate other competitors

Indexu 4 will have:
- powerful template engine
- faster core engine
- can handle very large database
- modular / plugin addon (yes, as you wish, it has build in calendar)
- application framework / API for developer (CMS enable, easier to integrate/hack, easier to morph into other kind of script)

In v.4, indexu will support unlimited multiple categories (currently only 3 categories). To speed up download time, indexu will generate a list box that have multiple selection (currently drop down menu), indexu only generate category listing once instead of two.

all link will be have an option to be have time expiration and suspend it.

Got it, thank you for all great feedback. I'll add some feature to make you can make money more.

We're still working hard on it. As you might know that indexu already completely rewrite for several times.
- indexu 1.0
- indexu 2.0
- indexu 3.0

Now indexu 4. Since indexu 4 should be able to handle demand on upcaming several years, we're very carefully design it architecture. We do not have plan to rewrite all codes again for later release.

About it features, indexu 4 will have features like new hotscripts.com. We will also introduce new concept that is called 'template scripting'. You'll see that indexu 4 is as easy as indexu 3.1 but more powerful and flexible.

We also provide API (application programming interface) documentation for those who are interested writing add-on module and integrate with other scripts

More flexible both for end user and developer. It doesn't mean only better template engine. But it also mean everyone can develop their own new features without interfere with core engine (yeah, something like plugin). Thus we won't need to rebuild codes again and again. For new template system, now you can use complex command like if .. then. .. and many other command. Still you can leave them if you do not need or want them. So new comers and expert users will be served well.

The core of Indexu is still link indexing engine. But we do not close our eyes to users expectation. For those who want to expand their website and become a portal, we have put a foundation to this.

We appreciate all of our customers hope and expectation. We can't just release it and then make you feel disappointed. So let us to work hard and make this version is become the best one. Wiping our competitor away

Personally I dont see how this demo will be able to wipe your competitors away? What does it have that other scripts dont have?

Mod rewrite, load as static pages and template scripting have been on the market for index scripts for a very long time now and could we get a demonstration of how INDEXU will work as a portal with shoppingcart etc. etc...?

the New Listing fails to display.

I do like the new INDEXU logo (but you might change the wording to "Make your website work" or "Make your website work for you" )

[esm]

I see Cat1 and Cat2 are still with us.

And we can still see the Link info by entering just the Link ID in the Update a Listing page.

esm is right. "Make your website works" sounds (is) wrong. Loose the extra "s"

"make your website work" is still not right...

Guess it could be used. But sounds a little strange to me

You make your marriage work!

You make your system function or operate

[esm]

The "You" is understood.


Make your marriage work!

Make your system function or operate

Make your website work

Yes, but my point is that there could be doubt about the meaning. English is my third language so I'm not that sure?

Does it mean that you make your website do the work for you or does it mean it makes you website function very well?

over and out!

[dody]

Thanks for your opinion guys
I'd prefer "Make your website works for you", thanks esm.
Let stop discussion about this slogan, okay
Back to main topic.

I'm still working with pagination and special characters now.
