With JV-LinkDirectory 4.4 released a month back, we are gearing up for the features to be added in the next version of JV-LD. We already have a big list of features to be added, but we would like to know from our customers as well.

This thread has been created for these discussions at, and we welcome all customers to participate in this discussion. We do not guarantee that, all requested features will be incorporated, but we will certainly investigate them and based on the feasibility and availability of time, we will implement them or take them up for future versions.


Please feel free to participate in the discussions, and let us know what you want in your directory!

Well I contacted you in September of last year to ask if you were bringing in the ability to import from the bookmarks component for Joomla (Downloads | Bookmarks). At the time you said yes, so I purchased immediately and have been waiting. 4.4 came out and that feature isn't in there. Is there any chance it might appear in 4.5 or did I just spend money on something I can't use? Sorry to sound so negative, but I bought based on your response.

Is there any chance it might appear in 4.5 or did I just spend money on something I can't use?

Rest apart, the good news is that, Import from Bookmarks (Joomla component), to JV-LD will be a feature in JV-LD 4.5.

Thanks.

The ability to update the module without uninstalling/reinstalling...
because it's a real head**** to redo every modules after update
Thanks

I want to advertise for a specific partner inside a module with a permanent ad
but through the different possibilities that you can choose (recent, random,...) but there is no way to choose a specific one!
that would be nice to be able to show in a module some specific ads that could be choosen by writing id's of the partners or with a slider where we could pick up one (or multiple ads)
do you think it can be possible, or may be you already planned it
thanks

I have quite a lot of modules on top of pages, and the Featured links takes quite a lot of place so the content of JV-LD pages is moved down to the bottom of the page!

I would like to have :
* the ability to display Featured links at the bottom of the page (above the statitics would ne nice)
* the ability to rotate Featured Links (with possible effects) inside a unique space (or inside a module)
* the ability to pick up a specific partner from Featured Links within JV-LD module

Thanks,

Ludo

Hello

Thank you contact us and integrate some of our proposals. (I have the impression that you give the tool Customer Feedback & Ideas for JV-Extensions, damage that can really vote for each feature)

In general, I suggest not to develop what is outside but facilitate programming and partnership with other developers.

Eg it is useless to develop a system of review (JComments), sef url (aceSef) monétaraisation (Search Engine Optimization Joomla Membership Control), mailing (AcyMailing), ....

I use aceSef elsewhere on our site. I am very happy

An interesting idea would be to improve the back office (presentation by a former close to the modern ergonomics J1.6), much less ergonomic than the front end.

Other suggested features

***** Tri according to a user field (Extra Fields)
(Will to sort on a field made up of internal criteria and ext.)

*** Backoffice see and be able to change the date of posting of a link Featured Links
(To allow thumb to stroke period at one site)

** Accept HTML tags in "EditBoxes administrator" who appear in the front-end

** Category Selection
Add One Way Link / Primary Category
Put a text Informations and require the user selects a value in the list (users who want to go fast, forget that field and the first category is selected)

Good day

Try to make these suggestions just as a critic of art that looks Monalisa of Leonardo da Vinci.
° Possibility that the owner will be warned when the link is voted by mail (example. your site was voted at lupleo.com).
° The Ability to update the Module Without uninstalling / reinstalling.
° Replacement 'Alexa Traffic Statistics' with Alexa widget.
° Modules 'most viewed page' included in the statistics.

How compatible is JV-LD with Joomfish? As i understand there are some possibility to run JV-LD on multilingual site?

Here we start sharing the implementations for new features and changes as we go on in this thread, that will be released in JV-LD 4.5...



First one to come, is on JV-LD dashboard screen in admin backend. The dashboard screen will be simplifed and unwanted or redundant information will be removed.

1. Quick links will be provided for routine tasks done by JV-LD admin. These include, adding a new category, adding a new 1-way link, adding a new 2-way link, editing the style that is in use and purging the entire recycle bin
2. Links to changelog, documentation, support, language translations and customer showcase (for inspiration), all links to jv-extensions.com pages, will be provided
3. Joomla Slider Tabs will be used to show the following information:
   1. Latest version information with upgrade alert
   2. Latest news pulled from our news feed
   3. Ability to act on new link exchange requests (instant approval/rejection or view more info links)
   4. Ability to act on new link inclusion requests (instant approval/rejection or view more info links)
   5. Ability to act on new link reviews from dashboard (instant approval/rejection or view more info links)
   6. Link Directory statistics will also be included in the dashboard

The complete list of features, that will be available in JV-LD 4.5 will be given in a month's time, but you will certainly see them being announced one by one in this thread with screenshots and other information, as we go on. Regarding your requests, we have most of them in the implementation list already for JV-LD 4.5. I am sure you will be happy, as you follow this thread.

Thanks

Here is the next important change coming up in JV-LD 4.5 - Usability enhancements and layout redesigning to Category manager in JV-LD admin backend:

1. Ability to select one or more categories and toggle their "visibility" status
2. Ability to select one or more categories and toggle their "accept links" status
3. Windows Explorer like navigation with categories of same level displayed at a time. The parent category needs to be clicked to view its child categories.
4. Pagination for categories
5. Ability to filter and show categories with one or more of the criteria:
   1. Snap status
   2. Visibility status
   3. Accept Links status
6. Search by category name, description, keywords and show results
7. Jump to a particular category directly using a dropdown
8. Tooltips used to explain every image over mouseover for every category
9. Following columns will be added to the category manager:
   1. "Links" Column - Shows the number of links in a category
   2. "Explore" Column - Clicking on this, will take you to the child categories view, of the selected category
   3. "Visit" Column - Clicking on this, will take you to the links manager interface and it will show the links in the selected category
   4. "Add" Column - Clicking on this will open the new category adding screen, with selected category chosen as the parent category automatically.

Hope you will like it!
