Improved navigation for Referencing Links and Related Categories

Improved installation process

2.2.7 02/11/02

All search bugs were fixed

Advanced category search labels fixed

2.2.6 02/05/02

Several new features, most noticeable ones in the search functionality. We have added highlighting of the keywords in the search results, and improved Simple search logic. The simple search will now first look for an exact match of the entire phrase, then match of all keywords (but not together) and then for separate keywords. The administrator can also determine which link fields to search in. Last, but not least, end users can now select if they want to search for links in the entire directory or current category with and w/o subcategories. All of this can be found on the new screen in admin.

 

Editor security

User enable/disable failure

Minor restore bug

Advanced category search labels fixed

2.2.5 12/24/01

"Forgott Password" - Users, who forgot their passwords can have them re-genereated and sent to their email automatically.

- "Email verification" at registration: the first time a user registers, password can be sent via email, thus making sure that the address entered is valid. The user can change password later using "Profile"

- Duplicate Links Check has a Mass Delete option, allowing either to delete all copies of a duplicated link, or pick & choose, same way pending does.

- Duplicate User Email Check allows to search for all users with duplicate emails. The users are then displayed in the usual user screen, allowing the admin to modify and delete them

- Admin may use the LINK_ID tag in the email message. This enables admin to include a rating sample HTML code in the email confirming link addion. Simply copy-paste getrate.tpl into the email, and upper-case the LINK_ID tag.

- navigation (number of results was not remembered properly)

- modifcation of links works correctly, not leaving unnecessary information

- Multiple domain pointers will not cause "not licesed" error on the user front. Admin can still only be access from the main, registered domain

- Editor's can edit their pending links

- Links check engine has been re-written to use sockets instead of fopen. We have seen some performance increases and were able to avoid timeouts. Some links still take time at the DNS level. There is a socket timeout, however PHP 4.0.6. has a known bug that disables it. Other versions should be working fine. 

 

2.2.4 12/10/01

Bugs and Features       New Data cleanup utility that recalculates link counters

URL display status at the bottom is optional and controlled from admin

Search result can be different: if a link is referenced in more than one category, you can choose to display all instances or only one.

Multiple bugs fixed involving the navigation and sorting, also in the admin pending area. Email errors fixed (including wrong date and user data)

When the link owner edits his/her link, only the changes become pending, not the entire link. So if admin or editor does not approve the changes, the original link remains in the database PostGRES and MS SQL engines debugged and tested in and out to ensure stability and full compatibility
