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.
Check the Live Demo of SkaDate 8 Engage, learn more about the new SkaDate Dating Software features, and ask your questions from our pre-sale team 24/7.

Greetings to all SkaDate dating software customers, and those thinking to join our team.
We have an update on SkaDate individual ticket support service.
First of all, we have come up with a long-awaited decision to provide one month of individual ticket support for free to all new SkaDate dating script customers. We understand how difficult it may be for site owners to deal with a management system of professional dating software at the initial stage. Our support operators will be glad to assist you with mastering SkaDate dating software configuration tips, thus tailoring the site to your needs.
Another news is a slight change in SkaDate ticket support hours. From April 7, 2010 we have been providing individual ticket support from 9 am to 6 pm (GMT +6, Monday-Friday) instead of the former 10 am to 7 pm schedule.
We hope the changes in our support service will become another advantage for building a successful business with SkaDate dating script.

Greetings everybody!
Finally, we have crossed the finish line of the WIN SkaDate Contest.
First of all, we would like to thank you all for taking part in the competition. Your comments and positive feedback have been a great encourage for us to provide even better service, and keep improving SkaDate software to meet all your needs.
Now it’s time to announce the contest results, and the fact that this event has coincided with Skalfa eCommerce Birthday (we are 5 today!) makes the moment even more festive.
Here come the winners.
3d place and SkaDate Mobile Edition goes to Lawrence and his comment:
Skadate helped me very quickly build a great website and it saved me the huge effort of building a site on my own from scratch. Now my site has over 13,000 members in just over one year – http://BrainiacDating.com.
When I started I had no idea how to build a dating site, but the skadate support was very helpful to get my site up and running.
Sure there are several other dating site software packages out there, but skadate’s php code and database are efficiently designed, so that with only some basic knowledge of php – you can easily modify it yourself, or if necessary it relatively inexpensive to outsource small enhancements.
2nd place is taken by John, who gets SkaDate Software License:
Yuch! vs Yum! Let me explain….
After wasting time installing & running on Ning (yuch!) and Boonex (yuch!) as well as testing the online demos of many other software vendors and service providers, I settled on JomSocial for my Joomla-powered site.
But there’s a problem now: it has limited features, which now means I am integrating several other extensions with their own set of hacks & additions that I’ll probably have to repeat when JomSocial release a newer version. (yuch!)
So I would *only* migrate to SkaDate (yum!) because it *flexibly* (creative!) and *logically* (time-saving!) integrates video, photos, templates, search, admin panel and user news/updates (to name just a few).
So after all, it seems like site publishers invest well in SkaDate – I really look forward to using it to bring health-minded people together!
And the 1st place winner is Sibel, who gets SkaDate Software License along with SkaDate Mobile Edition:
Hi,
Me and my partner we discovered Skadate 1 year ago and we are very happy with it…since then!!! We wanted to find the right software, the right server, the best provider and wanted to create a dating site that works 24/7!!! There are many dating site providers out there… After researching for 3 month and trying out many site-demos, we felt like Skadate covered what we were looking for!!!
This is our dating-site and we wanted to have control!
We wanted the site “to look” professional and inviting to our customer…and at the same time we wanted to have easy access to the control panel. We have a bi-lingual customer and it was very easy to translate text to the second language. And we like the easy payment option with PayPal or any creditcard company, when customers wanna sign up as Gold Members…
Our site is fast, secure and we have a good overview on everything. Anyone at any age can use the site. Buttons & pages are easy to access and clear to understand. If my customers are happy, I am happy!!!
With the help and support from Skadate we were able to change many things on our site. We worked very close with their tech-support and designers to re-design the look, the colors, the text and the layout at very affordable price rates. We also made changes to the admin panel. Sometimes I spend 10hours a day in the admin panel! It’s easy to work with and I get the job done.
The Skadate team is very nice and always there when you need them. They are a great help, explain or fix things very fast.
I am overall a very happy customer and I would highly recommend Skadate for all your datingsite-needs…
Our Congratulations to the contest winners!
Although winners are only three, we appreciate the contribution of all participants. This is why each of you will get a personal coupon code with a discount for purchasing SkaDate community and dating script.
Your feedback is a great motivation for us to keep working on the software quality. Thank you guys for building the great community of SkaDate users!
Best regards,
SkaDate Team

This is that time of the year again. On the first day of winter we celebrate the birthday of Skalfa eCommerce. Today we hit the 5 year milestone.
Let me go a little personal here. When 5 years ago I announced starting a new company I was not nearly confident it’s going to shoot. We needed to start from scratch after the first year so we were a software product company without a product. Hell, that was tough but that was the time we again proved the simple truth – gather talents and build something people want. That worked. Any piece of software can be built if you have capable people on your tank and some passionate customers to start with. Some people were very early to grasp values we were aiming at.
Now SkaDate is one of the most recognizable names in the online dating software world. We never aimed at “growing big” but grew 5 times in staff – by customer need.
Thank you all for supporting us all these years. By using our products and telling us where we need to improve you’ve been pushing us forward. A lot of your ideas are surprising and encouraging. Every time we raise another big project on SkaDate I feel excited about how people use our software. I hope to enjoy it years and years on. The upcoming year is going to be revolutionary for our company with the launch of new open source and SaaS products in our core competence marketplace. Watch our progress, we want to share that with you.
Happy Birthday Skalfa!
