Greatings from Mewsoft,

Today August 12, 2005 we released Classifiedawy 8.9 with better performance and more new features. Free upgarade to Classifiedawy Customers.

1)-Speed improved upto 500% now
2)-Login remembers and forwrads to last page requested
3)-Post Ad, Post Reply, Contact Author, Verified, Verified1, Verified2, Sponser, Partner, and Power Features added.

1)-Speed improved upto 500% now
===============================
We did a lot of code customization and improvment to make it faster and better. Now you can also see the benchmark time in microseconds if your server has Perl module Time::HiRes installed, if it is not installed the time will be calculated in seconds only so you can ask your hosting to install it if it is not installed. Now you can see on your homepage this time as 0.7133 Seconds Consumed. If you still see it only in integer seconds like 2 Seconds Consumed, then Time::HiRes is not installed. You will notice the speed change during any page visit now.

2)-Login remembers and forwrads to last page requested
======================================================
Now when user try to do any activity that requires login first, if the user is not logged in, the program will remember the page he was trying to access and will redirect him to the login page. Once user login, it will be redirected the user automatically to the last page he was trying to access. This will be also even if the user will still register.

3)- Post, Reply & Contact,  Verified, Verified1, Verified2, Sponser, Partner, and Power Features added
====================================================================
In the admin->Accounts Manager, when you click on any account you will see check boxes for these options:

Post Ad, Post Reply & Contact Author, Verified, Verified1, Verified2, Sponser, Partner, Power

Now any feature you enable for any user, will display icons besides the users id in the View item pages and in the bid history page.

The Post Ad  option will allow you to give permissions for users to post ads or not, the Post Reply option allow you control users from replying and contacting ads authors.

How to update
==============
==============

Download the latest version from our site "My Account" using your license number.

It is better to update all the cgi files *.pm, remember to transfer all files in ASCII mode.

insert these language variable in the file ViewAd.pm:

Code: HTML    Select All    Expand All

</p><p>user_verified~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/verified.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Verified User&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_verified1~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/verified1.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Verified  Plus User&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_verified2~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/verified2.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Verified Plus Plus User&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_partner~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/partner.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Partner User&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_sponser~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/sponser.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Sponser User&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_power~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/power.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Power User&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_rated~==~&lt;!--Rating--&gt;<br />user_seller_buyer~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/sellerbuyer.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Seller, Buyer&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_seller~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/seller.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Seller&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;<br />user_buyer~==~&lt;img src=&quot;&lt;!--CLASS::Images_URL--&gt;/buyer.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Buyer&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;&gt;</p><p>must_have_reply_permissions~==~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font SIZE=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reply Error:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are not allowed to reply on this site. You must have reply permissions. If you need more help please contact us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br />contact_visit_website~==~Visit Website</p><p>

Edit the template ViewAd.html, insert these classes besides the about me class:

Code: HTML    Select All    Expand All

<br />&lt;!--SellerVerified--&gt; &lt;!--SellerVerified1--&gt; &lt;!--SellerVerified2--&gt; &lt;!--SellerPartner--&gt; &lt;!--SellerSponser--&gt; &lt;!--SellerPower--&gt; &lt;!--SellerRated--&gt; &lt;!--SellerSellBuy--&gt;<br />

after the code

Code: HTML    Select All    Expand All

<a href="<!--AboutMe-->">[[about_me]]</a>

or as you like.

Edit the second class

Code: HTML    Select All    Expand All

<!--Website-->

and replace it with the language variable [[contact_visit_website]] this will displays "Visit Website" or as you inserted it in the view ad page instead of displaying the real sites links which some times very lengthy and mess the view ad pages. So the whole line now becomes:

Code: HTML    Select All    Expand All

</p><p>&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td bgcolor=&quot;#FFF3C4&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;[[contact_homepage]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td bgcolor=&quot;#FFF3C4&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;!--Website--&gt;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;[[contact_visit_website]]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;</p><p>

Enjoy...
