eSyndiCat v1.6 [Omega] FREE released

[Simon Gooffin]

Greetings,
I'm very happy to announce our FREE version release. The newest version of eSyndiCat has a codename Omega as it stands for the latest FREE version from our company. It has passed many internal tests and recommended itself as a highly stable full featured software. Here some new features that might be found in our eSyndiCat v1.6 [Omega] version:

#1. Brand new admin panel interface
#2. RSS feeds
#3. Language manager
#4. New default template
#5. Copy categories
#6. Advanced editor for category description
#7. UTF8 support
#8. No-follow for categories
#9. Individual number of columns and number of neighbours for a category
#10. Advanced accounts functionality
#11. Enable/Disable mod_rewrite
#12. Redirects functionality (if you don't want to have direct links in your directory)
#13. Max featured listings per category
#14. Expiration for featured listings
#15. Place featured to top of listings
#16. Mailer configuration. Now uses 3 mail methods
#17. Latest news block from eSyndiCat.com
#18. Captcha flexible configuration
#19. Advanced Rate Link functionality
#20. Improved security and reliability


Besides, we made a lot of improvements in our version in order to have more user-friendly interface. Now it's much more clear and you can intuitively manage everything in our admin panel.

Good luck with your directories, based on eSyndiCat Omega!

This version is highly recommended for all eSyndiCat FREE users! Upgrade will be ready in few days.

Thanks again. But this achievement is more an achievement of Jason and other guys involved in development and testing of our Omega version.

My personal compliments to Jason who did great really great job working on this project. Thanks, Jason and keep up the great work

This version well tested. And all next PRO versions will be also well tested.

P.S: It's my job. Thank you Simon!

[Manish Mathukiya]

Is there any Demo? Also i'd like to know if i can have older version (free one) for download.

Please let me know.

[Simon Gooffin]

Hi Manish,
Demo will be ready very soon. Currently I'm working on its installation and configuration

Free version is available for everyone.

I just bought the pro unlimted. Will the free 1.6 templates work with the pro version? I like the Glassy template.

Just installed this Version 1.6 and i don't think its working right.
where do i go and approve links?
when i go there its just blank, But if i do a search i will find it.
But if i don't know what has been submitted how do i know what to look for.
it will not show active links either.:sos:

I did a reinstall and it seems to be working fine now.

[Tamagochi]

Hi

First of all, congratulations for this wonderfull and amazing script. And so for your support team.

Is there a way to translate it to spanish??? I'd like to do and i don't mind then pass you for all people.

Best regards

[Dave Baker]

Thanks for congratulations Tamagochi.
Yes, there is. You need contact with our support team via email support esyndicat dot com . They will explain the translation procces. And then your dump will be placed in our download area on your behalf.

[TAZ2]

Does the thumbshots.org work in this version?
How does this work do i have to sign up for an account?
Is there a thread just for this version? there should be, dont you think:confused:

[Dave Baker]

Welcome to our forum TAZ2!
Please make sure that you enable "Preview display by Thumbshots.org" in the Admin Panel » Configuration » General Configuration. If it's so, but a thumbnail is not displayed:
***Open templates/yourTemplate/Layout.php and the function***

function print_thumbshot($aUrl)
{
$config = &Config::instance();

if ($config->get('thumbshot'))
{
$out = "Preview by Thumbshots.org<div class=\"preview\"><img src=\"http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url={$aUrl}\" alt=\"\" /></div>";
}
return $out;
}

***Replace with***

function print_thumbshot($aUrl)
{
$config = &Config::instance();

if ($config->get('thumbshot'))
{
$out = "<div class=\"preview\"><img height=\"100\" src=\"http://msnsearch.srv.girafa.com/srv/i?s=MSNSEARCH&r={$aUrl}\" alt=\"\" /></div>";
}
return $out;
}

***Save changes***

[TAZ2]

That little edit fixed it.
I love this script. It is well worth the money.

As soon as i can part with the money I'm getting the PRO version.
Can this version be updated to PRO or would you need to do complete re install?

[Dave Baker]

We can migrate your database to the pro version, but I'm not quite sure that you will be able to migrate your changes in a pro template.

[TurXaliM]

How i can removed this links;
: Listing Details

I have removed that links all

[Michael Hill]

Hi, TurXaliM!

[Open /templates/YourCurrentTemplate/link-display.tpl]

Find next code:


{if $config.mod_rewrite}
<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}{$link.path}{convert_st r string=$link.title}-l{$link.id}.html">{$lang.link_details}</a>
{else}
<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}view-link.php?id={$link.id}">{$lang.link_details}</a>
{/if}



Commit it by <!-- ... -->.

[Save and close file]

Now you haven't the LinkDetails in your listing.

Thanks!

[jdstraughan]

I have installed FREE version to test before going pro. I cannot get the DESCRIPTION for any listing. When i add a listing via admin panel, the description box does not appear, and it will not add saying a required field was blank. HOW TO FIX?

[Michael Hill]

Hello, jdstraughan and welcome to our support forum!

This is so interest issue, please, send to my PM your FTP connection details and url to your directory, I try to help.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for the great script. I have just upgraded from version 1.5 to 1.6 as said, everything went fine, except that:

the Use redirects for listings does not work

Thanks for the help

[Simon Gooffin]

2 adampope:
Could you please clarify what problems you have with redirects? We would fix them and release a patch for our Omega version

[adampope]

Hi,

When it is activated it gives a white page,which just says

"Powered by eSyndiCat"

on it, and the url seems a bit mangled, an example:

http://revision-notes.net/r/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Flibrary.thinkquest.org%2F3 659%2F

I have the feature deactivated for now.

Thanks
-Adam
