ExManager beta release

[Sergey Ten]

Hello all,

Let me introduce a tool (ExManager) that allows you managing your links/categories more easier way. ExManager is a categories and links manager for eSyndiCat directory script similar to the “Manage Categories” in the admin panel. But the ExManager allow you manage data so easier way.

How to install:

*** PLEASE CREATE BACKUP OF DATABASE YOUR CURRENT VERSION ***

You could download the ExManager here (http://www.xootest.com/downloads/exmanager-beta.zip)

#1 Upload a updates/exmanager.sql to folder "updates".
#2 Execute sql file via admin panel of eSyndiCat.
#3 Upload a folder "exmanager" to folder where eSyndiCat installed.
#4 Set a permission 777 (chmod 777) for "exmanager/includes/config.inc.php".
#5 Run a installation script "exmanager/install/install.php".


After you have to make some changes in the eSyndiCat script.

[ Open your admin/login.php ]
[ Find code ]


setcookie("admin_name", $admin['username'], 0);
setcookie("admin_pwd", $pwd, 0);


[ Replace with ]


setcookie("admin_name", $admin['username'], 0, '/');
setcookie("admin_pwd", $pwd, 0, '/');


[ Save change ]


[ Open your admin/top.php ]
[ Find code ]


$mnuMain['cache']['caption'] = $gDirLang['manage_cache'];
$mnuMain['cache']['url'] = 'manage-cache.php';


[ After add this snippet ]


$mnuMain['exmanager']['caption'] = 'ExManager';
$mnuMain['exmanager']['url'] = $config->get('base').$config->get('dir').'exmanager/exmanager.php';


[ Save change ]


Now you have to register your domain here (http://www.xootest.com/registration/registration.php). After registration you will see a key, copy it and paste to Admin Panel » Configuration » General Configuration » ExManager Key.

If you will have any problems/questions with it try to contact with me via Live chat/PM/email (sten at esyndicat dot com).

and i write you if i find the bugs...

[Sai_dallas]

What version of eSyndicat would this work for?

1.2.02 or 2.0.02 or 2.1.03?

Are all versions Ok for this tool?

Thanks

[Sergey Ten]

@TurXaliM
Ok. Thank you.

@Sai_dallas
It will be work on PRO 2.1. But if you want I could adapt it for PRO 1.2 and PRO 2.0.

[Sai_dallas]

Have one 2.1.03 but that site only has few links.

my 1.2 version directories are big have about 7,000 links.
So, if I test on my 1.2 that would make it a good test.

At the same time, I like to upgrade to 2.1.03 at some point.
So, i don't want you to spend time for that verison.

Thanks

Hello Sai_dallas,

Ok, send me your FTP details and I will try to setup ExManager on PRO 1.2.

Thanks.

[Sergey Ten]

Hello all,

Anybody uses this tool? :(

If you have any problems or questions PLEASE let me know

[ibs]

hahaha, Sergey its a great tool,
i dont use it just yet, WHY? well it does give me a little headache at times, when chnaging statuses and so on, but i am well in 2000 categories, and this is useful, but i am putting it off for now. But i have been checking your demo for regular fixes and updates. Infact only yesterday i used it and felt this could be very useful when my site launches..

for now i love your Exstars more

[subseo]

I'll try it as soon as I'm back from vacation, but I didn't understand what exactly does the ExManager do?

Oh now I see the Demo. If I didn't miss something, it allows to have two panes and move and copy the items between them. That seems useful.

[Sai_dallas]

Sergey,

I installed ExManager and everything went OK, but when I click ExManager in the admin, I get red Loading.. Message and stay there for ever.

on the corn I got this in the eMail
Error occured. Please see the logs or report an error to the
administrator


Sent you my cpanel info, please see if you can check those two things

Thanks

[Sergey Ten]

Hello Sai_dallas,

Ok, send me please details and I will try to fix that asap.

[Sai_dallas]

[Sergey Ten]

Sai_dallas,

[Sai_dallas]
