Community's ideas for 3.2 (next-next version)
« on: February 19, 2013, 11:30:18 am »
Dear users,

While Osclass 3.1 is almost finished and we’re doing the last touches, we want you to know that we’re already working on Osclass 3.2, and take into consideration all your ideas for Osclass.

Most voted ideas could be found in our UserVoice here’s a excerpt of them:

* Be able to choose the expiration date of the listing, will definitely do it! HORRAY!
* Advertishing by region as region1.osclass.org / region2.osclass.org / … we’re not sure if we’ll include it or not, but we decided to make a few tests to know if that’s possible to do it.
* Custom searchable fields, we think the performance of the server will be affected. We need to make some tests before we decided to include this or not, we want to talk with you about it and how we could include it to not be too difficult to use.
* Highlight listings, vip ads, payments options. We’re working on it!
* SEO, we already arrange meetings with some of the best SEO experts out there, so expect a major boost in 3.2 version!
* More anti-spam options, we’ll provide more options to filter spam but we already include a ban system in 3.1
* Sub-sub-sub-sub categories, I’m a bit disappointed that this idea only got 23 votes, I personally promise to try to reach to 4-depth level without making it too complicated to manage/use them. To help me in this titanous task I will be glad to hear some real world situations where 2 levels are not enough. Contact me!
* Much more features.



If you have more ideas, let us know, you could share them in our UserVoice

Technically is not that hard, what is difficult is to make it easier to use and manage. For example, a single dropdown menu with 4 levels of depth could be confusing (and if you're using 4 level of depth, you probably have a lot of categories, so it will be very long). Then, we could make 2, 3 or 4 dropdown menus, each one for a level of depth, but what happen if there's a category without subcategories? or a subcategory without a subsubcategory? Well, we could show/hide drop-down menus when needed, but it started to be complicated add to the mix the hooks that are triggered when a category is selected, should be parent categories be selectable? (it's an option now), should be subcategories be selectable? and subsubcategories? if categories are not selectable, but a category has no subcategories should it be selectable? and at other depths?

I'm going to test if it's possible or not to make this "easy-to-use"

A Poll plugin would be nice too as it is a good way to interact with your users and get feedback.

for Advertishing by region as region1.osclass.org
i already set in my .htacces for rewrite the request.

but you must set manually  to have a wildcard in your DNS settings like: *.domain.com 1.0.0.10 (1.0.0.10 has to be your ip adres!)
Also domain.com has to be your domain name!

I had difficulty getting url rewriting on the script osclass

I would fully support to succeed in osclass version 3.2

reCAPTCHA is developed by google, and I think it's good enough

Sry for my english.

Guys.. PLEASE integrate an option in admin panel where we can chose a custom url like in wordpress.



PLEASE Give us easy ways to make proper 301 SEO url redirects.

At this moment, i have exactly 6 hours spent on google on how to redirect osclass properly, and i still didn't found a solution for osclass urls.

redirect all www urls to non www ( not just www.site.com to site.com) All www.site.com/bananas/ to site.com/bananas


i want also.. all trailing slashes to be redirected 301

ex:   site.com/bananas/ to  site.com/bananas     (without trailing slash)

ALL trailing slashes must be redirected 301 for either www version and non www version.

also

site.com/index.php
site.com/index.htm
site.com/index.html
site.com/index.shtml
site.com/index.asp
site.com/default.asp
site.com/default.aspx
site.com/index.aspx
site.com/index.cfm
site.com/index.pl
site.com/default.htm

www.site.com/index.php
www.site.com/index.htm
www.site.com/index.html
www.site.com/index.shtml
www.site.com/index.asp
www.site.com/default.asp
www.site.com/default.aspx
www.site.com/index.aspx
www.site.com/index.cfm
www.site.com/index.pl
www.site.com/default.htm

#with slash at the end
www.site.com/index.php/
www.site.com/index.htm/
www.site.com/index.html/
www.site.com/index.shtml/
www.site.com/index.asp/
www.site.com/default.asp/
www.site.com/default.aspx/
www.site.com/index.aspx/
www.site.com/index.cfm/
www.site.com/index.pl/
www.site.com/default.htm/

must be redirected to www.site.com or "SITE.COM" - as i WANT

This is  BEST WAY to do a proper 301 SEO redirect, to avoid duplicate content. (or 404 error index.html,  index.php, default.htm, etc...(last part))

With this tool i've checked my site. If you want to see if your site has a proper redirect, check this tool. I think .. they know what are doing.. http://www.ragepank.com/redirect-check/

Also would be good that osclass to have a 404 page by default. I'm new to this. Maybe i've not activated it. Maybe exist.. but when i put "dfsdafsdfsd" near my site in browser ex: "site.com/sadasdfgsdfgsdfgsdfg" nothing happens. No error, no nothing!


For those who already have these rules setted properly in .htaccess,  PLEASE make a topic and share them with us. Or please give me a private message with them.

Hi gabrielradu

We already have some options to work with permalinks, in the admin panel, under settings > permalinks, click on more options to customize most (if not all) of your urls

Thanx conejo for info, but there is only one option with friendly urls, wich i've checked already. Now i talk about seo redirects. In google searches must exist only a single page of a page (sry :)), sounds terrible but i don't know how to say it good).

If we don't make a proper 301 redirect, an article / Ad posted  by someone will exist in google in 4 versions.  Wich is not good at all. 1. duplicate content, 2.. if you create backlinks on your site, all backlinks juice will be divided in 4 pages. (Not Full on one page wich is normal)

site.com/good-chairs
site.com/good-chairs/
www.site.com/good-chairs
www.site.com/good-chairs/

Here an example site: www.mercador.ro wich is the best / biggest site in Romania for FREE ADS.

Chek the urls of the site.  Remove trailing slashes, put www in front of them and hit enter. Thats exactly what i need, and the best for an every site. Hope you'll understand me.
