FRECHEIT wie man hier VERARSCHT wird |
October 26, 2008 |
Ich finde das eine FRECHEIT wie man hier VERARSCHT wird. Nicht passende
einträge werden einfach gelöscht, Updates werden nicht eingehalten und
das versprochene Import Script befindet sich nicht einmal in 4.0.8.
Wie soll man da einen Shop aufbauen wenn das wichtigste überhaupt nicht funktioniert?
Ich bin mir wirklich am Überlegen, ob ich nicht einen anderen Shop
nehmen sollte, da der Support so mieserabel ist und nur verarscht wird.

| Veyton - Passwörter und der Support :-) | October 26, 2008 |
ich teste nun einige Tage Veyton (Testversion). Nach Update auf 4.07
und nach Änderung des admin-Passworts bekomme ich nun nur noch einen
weißen Bildschirm im Backend. Woran liegt das? Ich kann jetzt nichts
mehr einstellen
Antwort Guido Winger - xt:Commerce Geschäftsführer:
Der Bug ist in 4.08 erledigt. Das Update kommt Anfang der Woche.
Können Sie mit dem automatisch erstellten Passwort nicht einloggen?
Sollte nämlich gehen, da lediglich das ändern des Passworts erfolglos verläuft.
Dieses sollte man sich notiert haben.
Bitte kurz prüfen.
Kunde:
Ach so ist das...
Natürlich ändere ich Standard-Passwort so, dass ich es mir merken kann.
| Test der Veyton 4.0 Testversion | October 26, 2008 |
Schade, dass man eine zeitlich begrenzte Test-Version nicht testen kann.
| Muss man denn gleich unzufrieden sein ? | October 26, 2008 |
Den weißen Admin-Bereich sehe ich mit dem automatisch genrierten Passwort. Ich kam gar nicht zu der Ehre den Admin-Bereich anschauen zu können.
Ein kleiner Tipp am Rande: Vielleicht sollte man an der Informationspolitik arbeiten, dann klappt das auch mit den zufriedenen Usern.
| Veyton 4 stößt das Fenster einer neuen Zeitrechnung auf ! | October 26, 2008 |
Wie lange dauert der Anfang der Woche? Heute ist schon Mittwoch(Mitte der Woche = 3.Tag der Woche)
kleiner Sapassvogel... zwei Tage drauf schreibt der...
wann kommt das Update? Heute ist Freitag = Ende der Woche.
Der Support meinte wohl noch..
Es ist richtig dass heute Freitag ist, aber das ist es ja auch noch bis 23:59:59 Uhr. Keine Sorge....es kommt.
und... THREAD GESCHLOSSEN !
| 15-day Trial Updated - Veyton 4 - wer wird denn da gleich asuer werden ? | October 26, 2008 |
ich könnte wetten damit wären alle bugs beim release einer neuen shopsoftware beseitig.
ich denke es sagt schon vieles wenn ihr euer neues wunderkind nicht selbst für euren shop einsetzt sondern veyton mit dem alten shopsystem xtc 3.04 vertreibt.
je mehr ich mich mit dem thema beschäftigte umso verärgerter werd ich.
mir tut einfach die zeit leid die ich damit verbracht habe veyton zu installieren (2wochen frust) und dann muss ich feststellen dass mit den bugs die die software hat ein shop nicht realisierbar ist (zumindest wenn man seine kunden nicht auf ewig vergraulen will).
schade dass nur die verpackung (design) klasse ist ... der inhalt aber durch ein mangelhafte betaversion die in den release gekommen ist vergeigt wurde.
und als kleine bugs die serverbedingt sind kann man fehler bei der bezahlung paypal, mehrfachberechnung von versandkosten, fehler beim hochladen von artikelbilder, unvollständiges handbuch usw nicht mehr bezeichnen.
in zukunft solltet ihr etwas langfristiger denken ... den mit solchen aktionen schadet ihr nicht nur euch sondern auch euren kunden (und wenns nur zeit ist die sinnlos verraucht) .
| Post Mortem.: Shop Sicherheit wird GROSS geschrieben ! | October 26, 2008 |
wenn ich mich mit der Richtigen E-Mail Adresse anmelde mit falschem Passwort kommt, dass nach dem 5. Anmeldeversuch das Konto für 20 Minuten gesperrt wird, aber ich kann mich auch noch nach 7 oder 8 falschen Anmeldeversuchen noch anmleden.
| 32€ für ein Support Ticket aber... | October 26, 2008 |
Ich habe bereits ein Ticket erstellt aber dort antwortet Niemand.
Was soll ich mit einer 14tägigen Testversion, wenn man uns diese dringende Frage nicht beantwortet.
Ohne diese Funktion kann ich nicht testen. Auf jeden Fall nicht so, dass ich mich eventuell für ein Kauf entscheiden kann.
Herr Zanier arbeitet ZEITVERSETZT ?
Nach dem langen Wochenende sind einge Tickets angekommen,
aha..hatte der Server am Wochenende frei ?

| vBulletin/phpBB2, Tutorials Area, SE 2.4 Released | October 26, 2008 |
| Events Plugin Released | February 5, 2008 |
Mosey on down to our online demo and give it a try!
| SocialEngine 2.1 Released, Album and Group Plugins Updated | January 4, 2008 |
Update (January 9):
We've updated the 15-day free trial version to 2.1. If you've installed the 1.8 version, we encourage you to request a fresh trial to experience 2.1. The online demos have also been updated from 2.0 to 2.1.
Update (January 18):
The Blog Plugin has been updated to version 2.1.
| SocialEngine 2.0 Released | December 14, 2007 |
Last week's online beta went exceptionally well and we are pleased to see fewer bugs than we had expected. Thank you all for participating in the testing - your feedback was extremely helpful!
Here are answers to some common questions about SE 2.0:
-
When I upgrade from 1.8, will I lose my customizations and layout design?
The upgrade process involves replacing all of your PHP, TPL, and CSS files. This means that you will lose any changes you have made to these files. Unfortunately there is no easy way to avoid this since we've made so many changes to the platform. If possible, make a note about each change you've made in your current installation so that you can reapply them after the upgrade process.
-
When I upgrade from 1.8, will I lose my settings and user data?
Thankfully no! When you upgrade from 1.8, you will run a program that will import all your settings and user data. The only data that will be lost is your users' profile styles and their email notification settings - unfortunately those could not be easily imported into the new platform.
-
When I upgrade from 1.8, should I make a backup of my current installation?
Of course! Download all of your SocialEngine files to your computer desktop. Next, use PHPMyAdmin to export your entire database WITH data - choose to save it as an SQL file on your desktop. Now you can proceed with the upgrade. DO NOT try the upgrade yourself if you are unsure how to make a proper backup.
-
Will the source code in 2.0 still be 100% unencrypted?
Absolutely.
-
When can I expect to see the events plugin and forum tutorial?
Our next task is to create the events plugin. Our goal is to have this released within two weeks of today, but it may in fact come much sooner. The first forum integration tutorial will be for phpBB and will also be released within one or two weeks. Thanks for waiting!
| Version 2.0 Online Beta | December 7, 2007 |
-
This is a beta version! The front-end design is still being dressed up and minor last-minute
changes are being made. However, if you find any bugs, please let us know!
Be sure to include specific information (e.g. error messages) about how you found the bug, how it
can be duplicated, etc. Please be as detailed as possible!
-
Most of the changes/additions we've made in 2.0 are actually on the back-end. Charlotte has rewritten
the entire source code such that it now utilizes an effecient object-oriented structure. This means that
even the old features need to be re-tested, so give everything a try. If you have a thorough look over
the admin panel, you'll see where most of the actual new features come into play. To review all the
new features we've added in 2.0, see the post "Final 2.0 Feature List and Release Date" below.
- Be sure to check out some of the great new features such as the admin's Ad Campaigns page and the Recent Activity Feed. These features are in their first version and will be consistently improved based on your feedback, so don't be shy! Our primary goal is to make SocialEngine the best white-label social network platform in the world, so we used 2.0 to bring you advanced social networking features like the Ad Campaigns and Recent Activity Feed. Once 2.0 is stable and the kinks are worked out, we plan to put our effort into developing more user features like an events plugin, an video (flash) tutorial, and a phpBB/vBulletin forum tutorial. So thank you all for being patient - the new user features are on their way!

To submit your comments, suggestions, and bug reports, please use our contact form. Do NOT create a support ticket in the client area about the beta - it may not be answered. Thank you!
| SocialEngine 2.0 Beta Testers Needed, Release Date Changed | November 28, 2007 |
On the bright side, we are going to have a beta version of 2.0 available before the release. We are would like to enlist the help of several current SocialEngine clients to assist with the beta testing process. We will walk through the installation process with you, noting any problems that arise and testing all the various new features. In exchange, you will receive the upgrade free of charge when it is released. Beta testing will be conducted on December 4 between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM (PST). If you are interested in being a beta tester and are free during this time period, please contact us to get started!
| Final 2.0 Feature List and Release Date | October 30, 2007 |
SocialEngine 2.0 is scheduled to be released on December 1 and will include all of the following features (as well as a multitude of smaller minor changes).
-
Renovated platform using a consolidated, object-oriented class structure
Similar and duplicate code throughout the platform will be converted into shared classes. The entire PHP source code will be upgraded from its current form (mostly procedural) to an almost entirely object-oriented structure. This will reduce SocialEngine's PHP files to a fraction of their original size, cutting down on bulk and making customizations even easier than before. Many of the functions used in various parts of the platform are now consolidated into a single place, so you can make sweeping changes very easily. This will also help you troubleshoot issues or circumvent/remove system bottlenecks if necessary. Functions are now grouped by type to help avoid conflicts with updates and modifications made to the source code.
-
Facebook-style "recent activity" list with RSS feed
SocialEngine will keep track of your users' actions and publish them in a list on the "My Home" and "Profile" pages. As the admin, you will specify what actions will be published and how often. Users can optionally delete items published about them and configure their own privacy settings.
-
Multiple user levels
As the admin, you can now create multiple user levels. These are groups of users that have varying limits and access to features. For example, you may want to offer levels like "Free", "Silver", and "Gold". Note that PayPal (or any other payment processing solution) will NOT immediately be integrated into 2.0, although you will be able to customize the source code to allow this functionality quite easily.
-
Ad campaign management with user level and subnetwork targeting
As the admin, you can now create and monitor ad campaigns. Campaigns can be setup to use a banner uploaded from your computer, or you can insert any HTML or Javascript (e.g. Google Adsense code). Impressions, clicks, and click-through-ratio (CTR) are automatically tracked. You can set campaigns to begin and end on certain dates, or end if their number of impressions or clicks hit a limit you specify. To avoid poorly-performing campaigns, you can also set a campaign to end if its CTR dips below a low threshold you specify. Without any changes to the HTML templates, ads can be set to automatically appear on various positions on your social network. Alternatively, you can insert a snippet of code into any template to show the ad on a specific page. Ad campaigns can be targeted to specific subnetworks or user levels, allowing you to show ads to people based on their profile information (e.g. interests, gender, age, etc.) thereby drastically increasing the effectiveness of your ads.
-
Improved, more attractive front-end design
We've refreshed the clean look of SocialEngine with subtle changes throughout the design.
-
AJAX commenting and status updates
Comments and status updates are now posted instantly (without a page refresh) using a seamless AJAX interface. Other small AJAX implementations have been applied throughout SocialEngine to further improve the user experience.
-
Consolidated database query function
Before SocialEngine 2.0, database queries were executed using PHP's mysql_query() function. These queries can be found in hundreds of places throughout the source code. With the creation of the "$database" object in 2.0, every query that is run by the platform is passed through a single method. This makes it much easier to integrate SocialEngine into other RDMBS like MSSQL or PostgreSQL. This also assists greatly with troubleshooting slow queries.
-
User level or subnetworks-specific announcements
As the admin, you can now post announcements that will only be visible to specific user levels or subnetworks.
-
Multi-language (user can select their own language)
This highly-requested feature allows users to view the social network in the language they choose, provided that you (the admin) have created a language pack for their language.
-
Automatic update notifications from SocialEngine.net
The SocialEngine admin panel now automatically (but non-annoyingly) notifies you when an update is available for the platform or any of the official plugins.
-
New extensible plugin interface
Plugins are now truly "plug-and play" and can be managed from a single section of the admin panel. Since plugins now follow a standardized format, custom plugins can now be designed and installed with ease.
-
Section to view outgoing friend invitations
Users can now see both their incoming and outgoing friendship invitations. This helps them keep track of their relationships in a more organized fashion. If you would rather have users not see their outgoing friend invitations, you can easily remove this option from the template.
-
Online/Offline icons on profile and search results
Icons are now used to indicate when a user is online. By default, these will appear on users' profiles and in search results.
-
HTML in profile fields
As the admin, you can now choose to allow HTML in specific profile fields. You can also optionally limit which HTML tags and properties are allowed. This is very useful if you want to allow users to style the profile content or embed an external object like a music player or YouTube video.
-
Make dependent fields linkable
Dependent profile fields may now be set to "linkable". If this is turned on and a user enters text separated by commas, the keywords will be linked. When a keyword is clicked, the viewer is taken to a page that lists all users on the social network that have entered that keyword in that profile field.
-
Ability to retrieve admin password
Admin passwords can now be retrieved if lost.
We know that many of you have been waiting patiently for the Events plugin. While we are fully aware of the importance of this plugin, we are going to release it on December 7 - just one week after the main 2.0 release. We feel that our goal of releasing a stable, well-designed, main platform is paramount, so unfortunately the Events plugin will need to come just one week later.
Forum Integration Tutorial
We also know that many of you are waiting for a phpBB/vBulletin forums integration plugin. After much research, we've decided to release this as an tutorial (instead of an official plugin). This is because many of you have different forum setups (with various modifications, servers, etc.) which makes creating a single solution quite difficult. Our tutorial will give you very simple step-by-step instructions for integrating your phpBB or vBulletin forum into SocialEngine.
Other Tutorials
Shortly after the 2.0 release, we will open a new section of this website that will include tutorials which give you instructions about how to add other various features to SocialEngine. Among others, these tutorials will likely include:
- phpBB and vBulletin Forum Integration
- Video integration (with automatic Flash conversion)
- PHPFox database import
- DZOIC Handshakes import
- Userplane Chat/IM
| SocialEngine Trial Launched | October 26, 2007 |
| SocialEngine 1.8, Blogs Plugin 1.6 Released | October 19, 2007 |
| SocialEngine 1.7 Released | September 1 |
| The SocialEngine Newsletter | August 24 |
| SocialEngine 1.6 Released, API Planning Begins | August 19 |
| SocialEngine 1.5 Released, Subnetworks Explained | August 6 |
So how do subnetworks work anyway? Subnetworks are one of the features that truly set SocialEngine apart from its competitors. As the admin, you can create "subnetwork rules" which determine how your users are sorted. For example, if you wanted to sort your users by age, you could create the following rules:
Subnetwork Rule: Age < 18
Subnetwork #2: Users over 18 years old
Subnetwork Rule: Age > 18
If you want to take this more in depth and split users based on several criteria (e.g. age and gender), you could use the following rules:
Subnetwork Rule: Age < 18 and Gender == Male
Subnetwork #2: Men over 18 years old
Subnetwork Rule: Age > 18 and Gender == Male
Subnetwork #3: Women under 18 years old
Subnetwork Rule: Age < 18 and Gender == Female
Subnetwork #4: Women over 18 years old
Subnetwork Rule: Age > 18 and Gender == Female
A lot of people have asked us, "how do I show ads to a specific subnetwork?" When a user is logged in, the header.php file sets a variable named {$user_subnetwork}. This variable contains the name of the subnetwork the user belongs to. Using the example above, if you want to show a specific ad only to "Women over 18 years old" on the top of every page, you could add something like this to the header.tpl template file:
INSERT YOUR ADVERTISEMENT HTML CODE HERE
{/if}
We hope you all enjoy this great feature!

| SocialEngine 1.4 Released, 1.5 Planned | July 8 |
| SocialEngine 1.1 Released | June 18 |
| Young Developer Duo Releases Novel Social Network Platform "SocialEngine" | June 6 |
SocialEngine (http://www.socialengine.net) is a PHP-based white-label social network platform that installs a full-featured social network on your website. Like other products, it includes most of today's popular features such as blogs, photo and video albums, interest groups, and so forth. What makes SocialEngine unique is its unprecedented extensibility and customizability. While other products give you cookie-cutter designs and an overwhelming mound of features for users, SocialEngine offers simplicity, ease of use, and complete control over the appearance and functionality of your social network. The developers designed SocialEngine to highlight your unique concept instead of the platform itself. In that vein, SocialEngine is the only product of its kind that does not force any copyright statements or branding on the visible areas of your social network.
Another unique aspect of SocialEngine is its capability to have "subnetworks." SocialEngine automatically sorts your users into these subnetworks depending on the rules you (the administrator) have set. For example, you can organize users by age, location, profession, university, and so forth. Smart administrators will use this feature to show highly-targeted advertisements to their users, generating above-average advertising returns.
Unlike other products, SocialEngine also lets you design your social network from a structural perspective. You can decide how users will associate with each other, what privacy options they will have, whether users must be invited to sign up, and more. To learn more about SocialEngine, visit the product website: http://www.socialengine.net or Webligo's company website at http://www.webligo.com
