Greatings,

Classifiedawy 10.8 Upgrade includes major new features and enhancements. It is important to process all upgrades and updates immediately.

New Advanced Search
------------------------------

The new advanced search is new and easy to use menu TABBed will do all search functions from the same page using switched tabs well designed. The new advanced search also has different fields for searching instead of telling the user how to make a search phrase or term with NAD's and OR's etc, each one has its own form fields:

with all of the words
with the exact phrase
with at least one of the words
without the words

This will also save us 3 Templates no longer needed, delete them from your server:

AdvancedSearch.html
SearchByAd.html
SearchByAuthor.html

The new Advanced search also will automatically do the search on the selected category and all its sub categories tree for better results.

*)-Include Sub Categories Listings
=========================

Based on some of our customers, we added this featured which can be turned on/off from your admin -> General Option:

Include Sub Categories Listings:

When browsing, display all sub categories listings

*)-Favorits New Menu Tabbed Design
============================
The Favorites page is now well designed also using menu TABBED on the same page the user switch between favorites Categories and users for better managment and display.

*)-New Search Form Functions

Search titles and description
Search sub categories

The "Search titles and description" checkbox allows searching items titles only or titles and description.

The language file Editprofile.pm no longer needed, we use now the file Register for both registartion and edit profile with few variables new to save time for customization.

*)-Language files now are saved with variables sorted for easy manual editing and searching
==============================================================

*)-Visual HTML editor updated, removed unnecessary links and optimized so it can be occupied by smaller rectangles if required.

*)-Added new class Total_Listed_Count for listed items since start
==============================================

The new class in the frontpage template "Total_Listed_Count" will count the listed auctions since you start the site, the other total items count class will will count only the current contenets of teh database both open and closed and processed so if you delete older items will not be counted. The new class also can be used to "forge" any count you want like this from the sql commander.
