VisioList Wishlist

[Karl]

What features would you like to see added if it could / can be done?

To start it off
It would be nice if we could have subcategories.
I would also like to be able to add my description and keyword meta tags to the site via the admin panel.

 

[Anna]

I'm not sure if it is a planned feature:
But opportunity to register more than one site/blog per membership

 

[Mark]

meta tags from the admin, as well as a more dynamic approach to meta tags overall will be included in a future release. The code for this is basically done and just need to be integrated into VL.

Multiple sites per account is also basically complete (just needs some security checks) and will be included in VL, possibly before the first release goes gold.

I'm not a fan of Sub categories in any directory software so that is a feature I personally dont like (but its not all about my preference of course), I would much rather see a free tagging system used to handle this. Basically like the old tag cloud mod, only instead of showing matching search results for each tag, we would show a category ranking page. This is infact why the tag cloud plugin has not been posted yet, this is still up in the air and requires further discussion.

Hey, Mark. One thing I noticed that should be included is a link from the admin area to the front of the top site itself. I could only find a link back to the admin area. I always had to go back to the main URL to get back to the site.

 

[Mark]

Indeed a link to the VisioList should be in the admin, I'll be sure and add this to the next release. thanks!

update: this was added, click the logo at the top to visit your list.

OK, while playing around with it a bit I realised I missed two things:

1. RSS-feed when you look at the unique registered site (so anyone can read the latest posted by X or Y)
2. A page-counter for the list itself (aka how many have visited the toplist from startdate per week etc. )Would be very valuable for adevertising purposes. Gonna play around with google analytics a bit since I have my list under a wordpress site. But still, would be löovely if it was there on default!

 

[Anna]

Scratch the RSS-feed -saw that there is a plugin we havent dowloaded. But still want an general counter

 

[Mark]

Google analytics, extreme tracking, or your web server stats software will be far superior to any traffic counter that would integrate into VisioList. But I can add this to the list of plugins to create down the road.

 

[Karl]

I would like to allow members to upload their banners as to the server as an option for faster page load.

 

[Mark]

absolutely Karl, this feature already exists and will be added to the next release We also have an importer to copy over banners from the members current URL's

 

[Djack]

I would like that we can see directly the number of "out" and "in" of each member in the ranking page.

 

[Mark]

no problem, open table_top_row.html and table_row.html templates from your skins folder and add the appropriate tag:

{$unq_in_0_daily} - unique hits in today
{$unq_in_0_weekly} - unique hits in this week
{$unq_in_0_monthly} - unique hits in this month

{$unq_out_0_daily} - unique hits out today
{$unq_out_0_weekly} - unique hits out this week
{$unq_out_0_monthly} - unique hits out this month

if you want to show total in/out instead of unique:

{$tot_in_0_daily}
{$tot_in_0_weekly}
etc.

 

[Djack]

Thanks !

Down the road, I would like to see a "Report" Plugin. It would allow members to report a bad listing listing such as spam or a link that does not fit the niche of the website. I think it would help keep the quality of the topsite high and members active.

 

[Mark]

for sure boardhopper , this is also virtually done already from the old ATS mod, just needs some added security and converted into a VL plugin.

 

[Anna]

no problem, open table_top_row.html and table_row.html templates from your skins folder and add the appropriate tag:

{$unq_in_0_daily} - unique hits in today
{$unq_in_0_weekly} - unique hits in this week
{$unq_in_0_monthly} - unique hits in this month

{$unq_out_0_daily} - unique hits out today
{$unq_out_0_weekly} - unique hits out this week
{$unq_out_0_monthly} - unique hits out this month

if you want to show total in/out instead of unique:

{$tot_in_0_daily}
{$tot_in_0_weekly}
etc.

Nice one! If I want unique pages showing instead - is it: {$unq_pages_o_daily} for unique pages daily?

 

[Mark]

close: {$unq_pv_0_daily} is what your after

note that averages and maximum values for daily, weekly, monthly, total are also available if you so desire.
ie:
{$unq_pv_avg_weekly}
{$unq_pv_max_weekly}

 

[Anna]

Is there a way allready to show the tendency of a specific site on the front ranking page. For example if it has more, less or the same hitsIn as last week/month/day? Otherwise I would like to put that on the wishlist!

 

[Mark]

yup, you can paste this into table_row.html or table_top_row.html

<img src="{$skins_url}/{$skin_name}/{$up_down}.png" alt="{$lng->up_down}" />

it will show images from your skin folder, up.png, down.png and neutral.png
