Hot Tags and Email Importer added to Konsort
The Tag Cloud feature has been fully completed. This feature will be located on the main index page when a user is either logged in/out and on the main blog section. It will have a cloud of the most frequently used tags which will be pulled out from the Blog database. If a user clicks on one of the tags it will link to the blog section and list any blog that it finds with the the tag. It will then highlight the tag with a link to the full text view of the blog. Check it out here if you want an idea of how it will look.
One of the “Most Wanted” feature is the email importer which will do the task of importing your contacts from one of the populer email gateways:
- Yahoo
- Gmail
- Hotmail
- AOL
- Lycos
- Rediff
- Mail.com
- Indiatimes
- Outlook
- Express
- Thunderbird
- ICQ
- Katamail
- Email.it
We are happy to announce the brand new partnership with GetMyContacts will now have this feature added into Konsort version 1.6. The integration with the software is already completed for the Beta 2 release. This new feature will require clients to have libcurl and OpenSSL installed. The default product requires open_basedir for PHP to be set to “no value”, though with some slight re-building of the product this won’t be a problem anymore. We also modified the package to make sure the actual folder where the script resides does not need to have full write permission so we created a cache folder in our “file” folder that will store the cached information the software needs to import contacts. The software package will be located in the “plugin” folder and we have modified it to work with our language package system to make sure it will be part of our new multilingual system. We also added a new table in our database structure called “contacts” which will store all the emails that is being imported and once the emails have been invited to the site it will then be removed from the “contacts” table.
Other improvements have been added to the Konsort package today:
1) SEO URL tags added to the blog module.
2) Moved StyleReplace class direct into the pre loader file to speed up the load of both the users data and their design for their profile page.
3) Improvements added to the “Top Friends” module where it will list all your top friends when viewing the actual friends section on a profile or if you edit your friends from the
“My Account” area. It will list your top friends on top and then have the normal list with all your other friends. This feature is intended to make it easier for users to point out
who they have on their top friends list and if need be it they can delete a specific user with ease. The old way would be that if a user wanted to remove one of their top friends they would have to browse all their friends and this can be a task if that specific user has over 10,000 friends. By adding this functionality we brought a limit on how many top friends a user can have. By default this setting will be “6″ but this can be changed to any number you desire if needed.

4) Added language select box which can be found to the top right of a site when a user is not logged in. This will give an oppurtunity for those that have multi-lingual sites and want to allow non-members the chance to change the language they want to view the site in. Once the guest does signup the language will be kept and it won’t revert back to english which was an issue with the Beta 1 release.
5) Fixed gallery flaw, when viewing an image it would redirect to the main page which was brought by the optimizing of the gallery table.
