October was a month of numerous changes and a lot of development. Some of the products we are working on did not see a release in October so November will be one very busy month. I hope you had a great Halloween and we’ll see you soon!
IndexU
The release of IndexU Deluxe v1.2 was delayed due to two factors. The first is the addition of more hooks for our new plugin system. This was a user requested feature and are more than happy to add these hooks so users can build on IndexU. The second issue was a bug with the sitemap which has been resolved.
IndexU 1.2 will feature many new tools as well. One of the biggest changes is in the user administration area. We have added new functions for admins to view inactive and suspended members and also the ability for users to resend their lost activation e-mail.
We have also added two new payment modules to IndexU which are Alertpay and Moneybookers.
iDesk 1.6.4 Released
iDesk version 1.6.4 was released in late October with numerous improvements. The following is a list of changes.
- The addition of translations (english, german and polish come pre-installed)
- Categories for the downloads sections (requested)
- Collective ticket previews (a really neat new feature!)
- Download comments and ratings
- Implement captcha on new tickets and on comments for downloads
- A quick search box
- Numerous small bug fixes
Nicemember
No updates were available for Nicemember in October, however Nicemember 1.1 was released on November 7. While this news should be in next months newsletter I figured I would include it here because of the major changes that have been included. New features in v1.1 are
- New payment gateways added
2Checkout
Alertpay
Moneybookers
recurring payments available for Alertpay, 2Checkout and Paypal
- Fix payment currency
- Invoices

- Discount coupons
NiceBackup
As many of you are aware I spoke about a program we had in development called NiceBackup. It is a windows utility used to backup cPanel (TM) accounts. I’ve recently had the pleasure of beta testing version 0.9b. Everything seems to be working very well.
As you can tell by the version number (0.9b) it is almost ready for release!
Details have not been worked out exactly, but at this time we plan on having two version of NiceBackup. One version is absolutely free, but does not have the ability to have backups run on a schedule (manual backups only). The paid version would include the scheduling feature. Pricing for the paid version will be under $20.
