IndexU Support

Attached to this post is a new menu you can use for your IndexU admin panel. Place the file in /admin_tpl/ and replace menu.html with this version.

This menu creates two new categories in your admin menu

• My Addons
• Spam Links

Under My Addons are a few links to mods that I have releases as well as links to commonly used and released mods as well as a link to generate your sitemap.

Under Spam Links are the two menu items you need to use to control spam in your directory.

A user on the forum recently asked about the Adsense Video Ads and they add a nice feature to your site but their size is a bit costly in terms of footprint.

That’s about it, hope you enjoy it and your visitors find it useful!

Here’s a list of mods I compiled from a number of sites. This list is similar to the one I posted on the nicecoder forums recently

I actually posted about this on Nicecoder and had started testing out the Google Custom Search on Sept 1 of this year. So far it’s working out very well and generating funds daily.

Here’s another way to make money using your site and Google with the Google Custom Search Engine

To use this addon you first need to make two files.

sitesearch.php

sitesearch.html

Both files are included below as text. The first file, sitesearch.php requires no modifications at all, just create the file and upload to your root IndexU directory.

The second file, sitesearch.html you can create as it is, upload it to your server and CHMOD it to 666 or 777 so you may edit it in the admin panel.

Email reminder for sponsored and premium listing owners

This is a simple script that can be run by cron and it will send out an email 7 days before the link will expire and a final reminder on the day of expiry.

The emails are fully customizable and can be sent in plain text or HTML.

The config file is quite simple and contains the following

TEMPLATE_0 = firstmail.txt
TEMPLATE_1 = secondmail.txt
SUBJECT_0 = Your account will expire in 7 days
SUBJECT_1 = Your account will expire today
FROM_EMAIL = admin@oursite.com
REPLYTO_EMAIL = subscription@oursite.com
BCC_MAIL = youremail@oursite.com
USER_HTML = FALSE

TEMPLATE_0 = The filename of template 0, which the user receives 7 days before the link expires
TEMPLATE_1 = The filename of template 1, which the user receives on the day the link expires
SUBJECT_0 = The subject of the email for template 0
SUBJECT_1 = The subject of the email for template 1
FROM_EMAIL = A from email address
REPLYTO_EMAIL = A reply to email address
BCC_MAIL = Email yourself a copy of this expiry notice
USER_HTML = TRUE or FALSE

USER_HTML = FALSE will send the mail in ascii (text) format only
USER_HTML = TRUE will send the mail in html format

Other than the config file the only other file that must be edited is mailer.php. You must enter in the path to your application.php file. The way the files are distributed you will not need to change mailer.php if the remindmail folder is placed in the root directory of IndexU.

I suggest you only run this script once a day, as if it is run multiple times then users will receive an email each time.

If you run the file in your browser it will give you a report of which users it has sent email to. If there are no emails to be sent out the results will be blank! This does not mean the file isn’t working, it means there’s nothing to do.

The script accepts a number of variables that you can use in your emails. These must be used exactly as shown and can be used to customize your email. Technically any data in the idx_link table can be displayed for any given link except for category. That was an oversight and if category is used it will only display the category number and not the category name.

{title}
{url}
{date}
{email}
{link_id}

I would also suggest that you provide the link password {password} to users so they may make changes to their link before they choose to renew.

This is a standalone script to edit multiple links at once.

The reason this script came about is that with a recent import I did from a scraping of a search engine I placed all the links into an “unsorted”

category. This of course gave me links with a single keyword in a single category, but they needed to be organized easily and quickly.

This script is designed to be run in the /admin/ directory and force you to login. You will then be presented with a list of categories and a choice

for number of links per page. Choosing a category and a number will take you to a pgae where you will see links from that category and the

option to change the category that those links are in. There is a link to edit the listing which will open a new window, and a link to visit the listing

which will open in a new window. Designed to keep you on a single page for maximum usability and fast editing.

The files are Ioncube encoded. If your server supports Ioncube extensions already then there is nothing you need to do to run this file. Otherwise

you may need to add the appropriate loader.

If you have any issues you can visit http://www.indexusupport.com/ or the Nicecoder forum for support.

Installation

To install simply upload the files in the admin folder IN BINARY MODE to the admin directory of your IndexU installation.

To run

Open http://www.yoursite.com/admin/massedit.php and edit the links as necessary.

This is a standalone script to update all links on a site.

The reason this script came about is that with very large directories the script included with IndexU can timeout.

This script is designed so it will not timeout, and since it is an external script it can be run easily by cron to update your link counts daily, weekly

or whenever you want.

The file is Ioncube encoded. If your server supports Ioncube extensions already then there is nothing you need to do to run this file. Otherwise

you may need to add the appropriate loader into the ioncube folder provided.

This file is written so that it will be placed in the admin folder, and not in your IndexU root folder.

If you have any issues you can visit http://www.indexusupport.com/ or the Nicecoder forum for support.

Installation

To install simply upload the file in the admin folder IN BINARY MODE to the admin directory of your IndexU installation.

To run

Open http://www.yoursite.com/admin/update-all-links.php and let the file run until it is complete. It will show you progress reports until it is

complete. An example is shown below

Updating link numbers 8.06% 16.13% 24.19% 32.26% 40.32% 48.39% 56.45% 64.52% 72.58% 80.65% 88.71% 96.77% completed.

IndexU Invoice System for IndexU v5.40. Full instructions on how to use this product are included.

Please note free products for IndexU do not come with any support. You can typically find us on the Nicecoder forums and receive assistance there as time permits.

Readme/Instructions

Current Version 1.02 released for IndexU 5.4. The IndexU Invoice System should work with any 5.x version of IndexU but it has not been tested.

This addon will allow users to view and print an invoice as a method of upgrading their link. This link upgrade can be done after a link is added to the directory or at the time of adding a new link. In the case of adding a new link the link will be suspended until such point in time as payment is received. Then the admin will validate the link and unsuspend it. This addon even includes the ability to charges taxes! The only files you need to edit are upgrade_form.html (part of IndexU) and invoice.include.php (included within this archive).
