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

I’ve just added another video to our series of Video Tutorials on IndexU Deluxe. The tutorial is ‘Installing and Activating Plugins in IndexU Deluxe’. You can find the tutorial, and others just like it, at the following locations:
