We are pleased to announce releasing a new version of SkaDate Dating Software – SkaDate 8 Engage.
It has a number of stunning features for members, and a few significant improvements for site administrators.
Here is what you will find in SkaDate 8 Engage Dating Script:
- New social networking and dating templates
SkaDate 8 comes with two new themes: Bubbles (great for a dating site) and Moonlight (perfect for a business or social network).
A capturing entertaining feature for your site members that will make their online dating experience even more fun and interactive. Includes single- and multiplayer games, such as: PentHouse Pool Single Player, Domino Multiplayer, PokerStar, Learn Texas Holdem, Domino Singleplayer, Texas Hold’em Multiplayer.
The Games feature can be easily enabled/disabled via the Admin Panel. Games can be user credits- and membership-dependent.
SkaDate 8 Engage introduces another way for your site members to get to know each other in relaxed and social atmosphere.
Speed-dating is a series of time-limited conversations the event participants go through with the members who meet the matching criteria. It allows site users to meet a lot of new people within one date in a fun and easy way.
Speed-dating feature can work with default Ajax text chat or with audio/video chat add-ons.
- Sign-up with Mobile Edition
Your potential site members now have a freedom to join right from their mobile device. A simplified (shortened) sign-up form consists of a few basic questions making the join process fast and simple.
- Password protection for photo albums
Members’ privacy comes first. Instead of protecting each and every private photo with a password, site users can now make the whole album password-protected so that only the closest friends could see its contents.
Now a site user can see comments for all the content they uploaded in one place. This simplifies the process of comments overview, and helps users not to miss a thing.
Now there is a possibility to tag photos with keywords, thus making photo browsing more convenient for site users.
- New secure image (captcha)
The new captcha looks more attractive while providing the same level of security.
- Sound signal on incoming IM message
This little improvement will ensure the members receive each and every single message when having a private chat. Can be turned on/off by a member.
- Categories for Virtual Gifts
The Virtual Gifts divided by categories make it easier for a user to choose the right gift for every special occasion.
- Possibility to modify the MemberHome page components via Admin Panel
A simplified component-based code customization interface is now available in SkaDate Online Dating Software for a MemberHome page. Now you can play with the MemberHome page components without accessing the software files and folders on the server.
- Simplified interface for disabling dating features
SkaDate PHP Dating Script comes with a variety of dating and social networking features, thus allowing you to create a website that would match either concept. To make it easier for you to convert your site into a purely social network, we have made it possible to disable all the major dating features in one place in the Admin Panel (no code modification required).
- Option to choose European or US date format on the site
To make it right both for our US and European customers we have added a possibility to choose the date format to display on your site that best meets the needs of your target audience.
- Delete a profile with member content
Those having to deal with spammer profiles on a daily basis will like this feature a lot. It gives you an option to delete a member’s profile along with all the content they were able to post while having access to your site. Meaning that you won’t have to surf through the forum and blog posts searching for the spam content and deleting it every time you remove an unwanted profile.
These and other features added to SkaDate 8 Engage bring it to the new level of interactivity, making the software even more competitive and user-friendly.
Good news for the existing SkaDate customers is that having enhanced the script with new features, we didn’t change the core. This makes SkaDate 8 Engage fully compatible with versions 7 and 7,5 meaning there is no need to restore site modifications from scratch after upgrading.
