I was thinking of upgrading my directory sites to 3.1. Would like to hear those who own 3.1 license. What is a plus point, that we should go for 3.1 and not 2.1 ? thanks guys!
1. You are supporting PHPLD. 2. It's much better IMHO with all the extras. 3. If you are serious about your directory, the best script possible is a compliment to your efforts to make your directory everything it can be. 4. It's only $25. Nothing that good is so cheap!
Id definately upgrade - its only $25 and definately worth it. Your directory will be easier to manage, theres loads of additional features which are really useful and can add value to your visitors and also the ability to ban ips and domains is an absolute must for growing directories that recieve spam (which we all do). Its definately, definately worth $25!!! Theres no way id go back to phpLD2.x now...
definately toby... first of all because of the kool admin panel ... Much more secure .. (extra features) More templates by me And once again big bang for your buck good luck
Yes It is definitely worth to buy a PHPLD license as it gives you a host of features including ip banning and siote banning which are not in the free versions
Great script. Be sure to invest the extra $10 for access to 3.1 owners forum. Total $35. Good success, mauiman
1. More Powerful 2. More SEO friendly, like Meta tag option. 3. Detail page added on v3.xx, that can bring lot of visitor from major SE. 4. Low price, great support. 5. Advanced mod available for v3.xx and many more that i can't figure out right now
Well if you like to tinker with PHP then the version 2 is fine and all the features you can MOD. I run both, and yes it's worth the money for upgrading but if you know what you're doing version 2 is a great script as well.
How easy is it to upgrade from 2 to 3? I'm intending on buying it later since my dir finally got some pr today.
As far as keeping all your data (categories and links) it is as easy as running the install script again. We have more detailed instructions in the supporters forum too. Thanks, David
Cool, just gonna head over and purchase a copy just now. Will no doubt be crying in the supporters forum soon
Ok just bought it uploading all the files just now, this should be fun. Will update when i finish, going to have to go find a new template when i finish
Yes, the paid versions of phpLD are always better. My favorite thing is the mass approve/deny. It's so annoying to individually deny 10 sites at once right off the bat.
Me thinks I broke it Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "../CORE_TEMPLATES/messages.tpl" in /home/arsmose/public_html/libs/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095 Gonna sign up to the support forum now lol ahh can't sign into my admin panel now
Yep, I saw you just joined our forums. You are on right path young (phpLD) Jedi. I think he is right about uploading all files.
Finally got it upgraded, had to remove all files instead of just overwritting them. Admin panel looks so good compared to phpld2. Just need to find a new template then i'm all set. Thanks for all the help
