GPix 1.4.0 released

Sat, 21 Mar 2009

Why I release 1.4.0 directly after 1.3.6?
answer is simple - new core functionality.

New integration design provide way integrated GPix with third party software. As example in 1.4.0 you can see Joomla integration.

paypal problem

Sun, 04 Jan 2009

Some users report problem with PayPal module. After step 6(process payment) GPix return them to step 1(get pixels), but payment page expected.

After multiple tests and user site verification I define settings combination which broke GPix payment process.
Before official GPix 1.3.6 release all users can download fix from official support forum

Settings optimization.

Thu, 02 Oct 2008

GPix design implement cell per option philosophy and this require to run database each time when I add new option.

So, today I finish to test philosophy 'row per option'. I just tested code which use actively options table with new option 'timezone'. So, to add new options I will need to add html code only. This mean that alter table query will not be required.

Where our time is going

Thu, 31 Jul 2008

I work with GPix every day and only now I understood how many time I spent to admin login page

I spent to GPix near 2 hours(average) every day and I login minimum 3(average) times per day. My browser remember login and pass, so I wait page and click login 5-8 secs

All this mean that I spent minimum 90 minutes for latest year to login!!! and all this time I use two computers only! amazing
So, I implement "Remember my computer" button I think that it will be useful for GPix administrators.

backlink checker

Wed, 30 Jul 2008

I have received several mails from active GPix testers about 'back links' functionality.

It is common way to increase you site rank and don't spend direct money for this.
So, I see common problem 'curl' extension and cron setup.

As result I will try to implement this functionality without this requirements.

Currently I wait test results, so it will take several days to see release at TUFaT
