Need beta tester for v3.3

[dody]

We need beta tester for upcoming version v3.3.
If you're interested, you can email me at dody@nicecoder.com. Please mention you forum nickname and indexu license key.

Things need to be tested:
- smarty template
- payment integration
- bugs

While the beta tester work, we will develop reciprocal link checker.

Thank you.

You got mail
One suggestions for linkchecker.

Use a field 0,1,(2) for it beside the backlink field:
0 = standart added link by user
1 = optional payment link without backlink
2 = admin added link without backlink (by example affiliate programs)

So the linkchecker needn't to check all links and if you add a management later (email "you cut the backlink..") only the right people will get it !
Also better for view, because admins will add a lot of link without backlinks and by control it it is easier if these links won't appear in the "bad" report.

If you like I can send you some suggestions...

Today the 2nd close beta is out. If you're beta tester, you'll get email how to get the latest beta.

What're implemented:

- subscribe update notification
- manage listing in user panel
- reciprocal link

This is how reciprocal link work:
When someone submit a listing, he should enter the reciprocal link url.
And indexu will check it, if it's not found, then indexu will reject to add a listing.
To check the current listing, the link checker now also check reciprocal link. You may set checking interval. The sites that has been spidered in current interval, will not check it.

Now we're working with:
- enhance listing and auto generate invoicing
- enable upload file in add a listing

We'd like to thank you for your support helping us develop better software

[dody]

demo site is updated:

the reciprocal link is disabled. So it adding reciprocal link is an optional.

Hi,

1)Do you need more beta tester?
2)Is Smarty template engine incorporated into the script? Would like to create designs based on Smarty.

Thanks,
Mike

@gariben:
Currently we closed beta tester registration until the next beta is released

@all:
Thank you for your support for us. We're still improving the payment integration. We'd like to have payment is fully automated (currently require manual fund checking and invoiching by admin).
There will be 3 listing types:
- basic listing (free)
- premium
- sponsored listing

We're working hard to make indexu as self-service websites. Advertiser will be able to enhance their listing, get the result once payment is completed, get reminder when the listing will expire, and all is done without need admin work.

But don't forget sending more beta steps to be sure you improve and test all in time instead of years testing after you think your work is finished...

I like to see my recipro link idea and still wait.

from what i tested it seems to be very good, especially when the payment is tightened up like dody has suggested.

Only critisism is it did seem slightly slower, but then that would be the smarty templates.

any ideas on release of next beta?

[Frank71]

Hm, also with cache on ?
With wich version do you test ?

Regards
Frank

3.3b vs 3.2

it may have been the pages being a lot more complicated than my site in the beta version. smarty does have a speed hit, although i doubt it would be more than the way indexU templates work currently.

[Frank71]

I think Smarty may be "slow", but it will be an improvement. There are so much small things better we will like

If you have site online let me know. Dodys testsite I got seems to be still old and he is again far behind his time planings...

Frank

[inspireme]

i put the beta site online to test it thats all.

[Frank71]

Hm, from when was it ?
