October was a fruitful month for NiceCoder’s flagship product, IndexU Deluxe. It started with the release of version 1.4.1. Here’s whats new in version 1.4.1:

Version 1.4.1 is a bugfix update and contains the following

Features
- Added who’s online listing in admin panel (it was removed before)
- Added captcha input form

Bugfixes
- Fix cronjobs time status
- Fix admin change password
- Fix tell a friend captcha
- Fix loading admin issue when adding a sub category
- Fix extreme dmoz extractor db import and remove tab delimiter import
- Fix Paypal Subscription

The update is available for all current license holders in the Client Area on NiceCoder’s website.

We also saw a number of plugin releases.

• eBanner 2.0 – An update to the original eBanner plugin. It now allows for a default banner placeholder so others will know when you have an empty ad space to sell. Click on it will redirect the user to the order page.
• Sociable – This is one of my favorite new plugins. Its a complete port from the popular WordPress plugin. It allows the admin to select which social bookmarkings to display.
• Quick Category Adder – This plugin allows for the Admin to easily add new Categories and Sub-Categories on the fly. You can now add hundreds of new Categories within minutes.
• Twitter Auto Tweet – This plugin will automatically tweet any new link that has been approved. Right now it works with the default IndexU Deluxe Link Validation but I’m having some problems getting it to work correctly with the Improved_Link_Validation plugin.

These 4 new plugins can be found on IndexUTemplates.com. If your a member of the site, you’ll have access to these plugins, and all previous plugins and templates, for free. If your not a member of the site, I suggest you become one. For $69.00 a year, you get unlimited access to all templates and plugins created by NiceCoder. Well worth it in my opinion

Earlier this week, NiceCoder released v. 1.4 of its flag ship product, IndexU Deluxe. I must say that this is probably the first version that NiceCoder has released that seems to be completely bug free! Since they implamented the beta testing program ( originally created by Bruceper ) updated versions are starting to come cleaner and better.

Here are some of the changes in IndexU Deluxe v. 1.4:

Version 1.4 is a bugfix update and contains the following

Features
- Improve power search
- Add greek alphabet in for permalink (seo url)
- Improve sitemap
- Improve login block
- Add captcha for send password

Bugfixes
- MD5 user password
- Pagination in paid invoice listing
- Find and replace query in admin panel
- Custom field problem with multi select

You can download v1.4 from NiceCoder’s Client Area

I’ve noticed a few users on the NiceCoder Community Forum asking what is the proper way to upgrade to this version. Remember, in our Tutorial section, we have video tutorials that will help guide you through the upgrade process.

If you remember a couple of months ago, Dody, lead programmer and partial owner of NiceCoder decided to leave NiceCoder to explore other areas. As of a few days ago, Dody has rejoined NiceCoder again. He will resume his old position as Lead Programmer.

In other news, Bruceper, or Bruce as most people know him, has decided to leave NiceCoder in order to start his own venture. Bruce is the current owner of two scripts, that NiceCoder use to sell under their umbrella of products, WPDirectory Pro and NiceBackup. WPDirectory Pro has been taking off in sales as the first real directory plugin for the popular blogging software Wordpress. It has alot of the same features as IndexU, although it is considered the ‘lite’ version of IndexU. Take a moment to check it out. It even is a great subsitute for the built in links that Wordpress offers.

Those that have bought WPDirectory Pro in the past and went to the NiceCoder Forums for support, should now head over to WPDirectory Pro Forums to recieve help.

IndexU Hosting is happy for Bruce and hopes to forge a strong relationship with him and his new company. WPDirectory Pro and Wordpress are part of the Guaranteed to Run Out of the Box scripts our servers host.

NiceCoder announced yesterday that they have released two new themes for IndexU. The new themes, Colourise1-0 and MarketPlace1-0, are available for IndexUTemplate subscribers for free. If your not a member of IndexUTemplates, you can purchase the theme individually from NiceCoder’s website.

I’m personally interested in Colourise. Its a dark theme, which normally doesn’t interest me, but the header really makes this theme for me. One suggestion if you decide to use this theme, edit the CSS so that link titles use a white ( or bright ) font. Its currently set as black and with the background, its extremely hard to see.

Last week NiceCoder announced a new script they have added to their product line called WPDirectory Pro. WPDirectory Pro is a plugin for WordPress. It merges Wordpress with IndexU Link Directory. The plugin isn’t as full featured as IndexU Deluxe, but it you ever wanted to add a Link Directory to your Blog, this is the way to do it. You can read more about WPDirectory Pro on NiceCoder’s site here

IndexU Hosting is offering a special from now until the entire month of May for those wish to host WPDirectory Pro. Here’s what you get:

1. 25% Off your first month billing ( Choose from all three of our hosting packages )
2. Free Domain Name ( Domain Name to be credited on your next month bill )
3. Free installation of Wordpress and WPDirectory Pro

The coupon code is ‘wordpress‘ and is valid until May 31st, 2009. This coupon applies to new signups only

As with all of NiceCoder’s scripts, IndexU Hosting guarantees WPDirectory Pro will run directly ‘out of the box’. Dont waste your time with other hosts hoping that it will work only to find out you wasted your time and money.

We’ve waited an additional month, but NiceCoder has released IndexU Deluxe 1.30. It contains a bunch of bug fixes along with some minor new features. I haven’t had the chance to look at it yet, but I’m pretty sure the Admin area template has been redone which makes it look and feel alot better.

Welcome to the Grand Opening of IndexUHosting.com

IndexU Hosting was created to give a place for NiceCoder clients to host their NiceCoder scripts worry-free! Where they could do a fresh install of IndexU, iDesk, or any other NiceCoder script and know that it would work ‘right out of the box’.

So many times I would see posts on the NiceCoder Forums where NiceCoder clients would have issues with mod_rewrite, MySQL issues, along with many others. When they would find out that the script wasn’t the issue, but the host was, they were left wondering if they should move hosts and if so, what host to move to. Well, wonder no more! IndexU Hosting is your answer!!!

IndexU Hosting is not owned or directly affiliated with NiceCoder. IndexU Hosting is an independant company and a subsidary of C-4 Web Hosting which has been in business for over 6 years.
