SkaDate 7 Update: Build 7.941
January 17, 2009 – 1:54 am, by Emil @ Skalfa
This is Skalfa style. As if it was not enough that we just released SkaDate 7, we are here with a big update to it with some new candies:
1. News feature – made on top of blogs. Now moderators can simply write blog posts and mark them as “news”. They will automatically appear on a special “news” page, and in the news components on the index page, and member home page.
2. Moderator page – single page for moderators to approve all kinds of content being added to the site. This starts with several features and will eventually contain everything being created on the site.
3. Text formatting – universal formatting for user input just started. Now comments, forums, chat support it. Again, this will be eventually supported by all features on the site that accept user input.
4. Smilies – they are actually a part of the text formatting, and the great thing is that smilies are also supported everywhere. We will soon add support for custom smilesets so every site will be able to upload their own smilies.
5. Ajax IM – an important feature – real-time site-wide instant messenger between site users. If someone initiates an IM session with you, you will receive an invitation no matter on what page you are now. A tool to stimulate users to hang online on your site.
6. Profile notes – a handy feature that allows every user to leave private comments about other users. Notes like “an interesting variant”, or “need to write to see what she’s about” will appear on the corresponding profiles. Also these notes can be viewed on a separate page.
7. Rate photos, Hot-or-not style – Rate all photos on the site (or filter out by gender) one by one, hotornot.com style. Loved by users.
8. Photo approve tool – a handy tool for admin to approve all upcoming photos. Really eases the process of approving.
9. Site suspend – suspend your site temporarily with a polite message to users.
And the last but not the least:
10. 3 New templates – you’d ask how we can produce such cool templates with this kind of speed. Answer: SkaDate 7 new template engine. Check out: Victory (version 6 template remake), Business Networking (version 6 template remake), Colorful Rings (brand new).
