Why Choose the e-Personals Edition?
What distinguishes e-Personals?
- Quality you can count on because it is based on the e-Classifieds Premium Edition.
- Customized for personals, dating, and matchmaking sites so you don't have to spend more for custom web development.
- New stylish interface and graphic design is attractive, professional, and easy to use.
- Powerful database searching capabilities enhanced just for personals. For example, your users will be able to conduct searches based upon specified criteria such as the age range, lifestyle, profession, body type, eye color, height, and many, many more. With our "Matchmaker service", users can set up their own personal search agent that automatically retrieves and sends them new personal ads matching their desired criteria.
- Multiple photo uploading capabilities. Studies have shown that personals with photos are viewed at least 7 times more often than text-only personals.
- Personal Inbox feature that functions as a full-strength, private, and secure messaging center. When someone replies to an ad, the poster is notified that they have a reply and is given a URL where they can retrieve it. The e-mail address of the person who replied is not revealed. When the original poster retrieves the reply, he or she has the option of sending a reply back, again without revealing his or her e-mail address. That way, the parties can send messages back and forth through this system without revealing their e-mail addresses or other personal information until they feel comfortable in doing so.
- Portable to virtually any server. e-Personals has been specifically designed to work on both Unix and Windows NT/2000. That way, if you ever switch web hosting companies or servers, you will be able to take e-Personals with you, even if your new site will be using a different operating system.
- Scalable to one million ads or more (This is a rough estimate of the recommended maximum number of ads that the program can handle without significant degradation in response times. There are no hard or absolute limits on the number of ads, but exceeding the number of ads listed here may result in slower responses to end users.). The administrator can easily add more sections for even greater scalability.
- Secure through the use of encryption-based authentication for the administrator. The program stores the administrative password in an encrypted format. The file where it is stored is located in a separate directory, which can also be password-protected (if your server has .htaccess or other methods for password protecting directories) for double protection.
- Configurable through a myriad of options. There are numerous variables for setting fonts, colors, and even the header and footer that appears on all pages. You can also change the general layout of all HTML pages generated by the program. e-Personals even lets you easily add advertising banners to your pages.
- Loaded with dozens of powerful features found nowhere else. In fact, no other personals program on the market even comes close to offering the rich feature set found in e-Personals.
The e-Personals Edition is built on the Premium Edition and contains all of the features of that program, as well as the following optimized features and improvements:
- Powerful new database options that allow you to create your own unique personal ads sections or databases by simply editing a few variables. You can control the number and types of database fields, including the data types, names of these fields, the input formats (radio, checkbox, etc.), the output formats, display types, and many other criteria for each field.
- New default "personals" template in the Template system which allows you to easily customize the general layout of all pages generated by the program. The program also comes with seven default templates that you can choose from (you can see a few screenshots here), but you can easily customize these or create your own unique templates using standard HTML.
- Section Manager that includes an online wizard that makes it easy to create new top-level personals sections or databases (such as Senior Dating, Blind Dates, etc.), as well as the ability to modify or delete existing sections through an online interface. You will also be able to activate or deactivate sections with the click of a mouse, which can be useful if you want to temporarily deactivate a section while making changes to it or if you want to deactivate a section without necessarily deleting all of your old data.
- New customized top-level sections just for personals such as Men Seeking Women, Women Seeking Men, Men Seeking Men, Women Seeking Women, Just Friends, Missed Connections, Activity Partners, Pen Pals, and Alternative Lifestyles.
- New variables and forms optimized for personals such as profession, interests/hobbies, height, weight, eye color, and hair color.
- New graphics for the program, including new, more attractive graphics for the section icons on the front page.
- Improved appearance for many of the forms and pages displayed by the program.
- Rewritten Help section that includes help for personals.
- Ability to display thumbnail photos in the "headlines" format.
- Personal Favorites feature based on e-Classifieds My Checklist so users can bookmark their favorites.
- Improved text for several pages and e-mail messages.
- Improved appearance for Power Search forms.
- Improved appearance for Post Ad forms.
- Improved appearance for "headlines" display of ads.
- Improved appearance for full size display of ads.
- Improved appearance for preview ad display.
