Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,

Version 2.0.0 is soon upon us!

I am pleased to announce that I am in the process of making the next version of (NG30) Global Ads version 2.0.0.

This new version will include support for these Third Party Applications. Some of them are paid add-ons because of how extensive they are to customize and to customize it properly without any issues with it.

1. iAdvertisement (Paid Add-On)
   
2. iClient (Free Add-On)
   
3. iCommerce (Paid Add-On)
   
4. (M30) Contact System (Free Add-On)
   
5. (M30) Donation Tracker (Paid Add-On)
   
6. iPoints System (Free Add-On)
   
7. (SOS30) Testimonials (Paid Add-On)
   
8. miniTutorials (Paid Add-On)
   
9. (SOS30) Upload Images (Free Add-On)
   
10. (M30) Videos System (Paid Add-On)
    

This new version will also include the setting groups inside the Applications ACP page and support permissions for each page in the ACP so only authorized members can use and update the settings.

This new update could take anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 months to complete, depending on my mood and if I am available to work on it.

Also, I have been getting a lot PMs here at my site along with PMs at either IPS, or Coders Refuge about my mod and if it supports banners. And I have told them that it does not and that they should either purchase my (NG30) Rotating Banners or find another solution. And with that idea thrown out there, I'd like to get your opinion on this new feature I am been thinking about.

I've been thinking about combining my Rotating Banners mod with my Global Adverts mod and charging a little more for it to accompany the additional efforts required in maintaining the mod as a whole and a complete Advert/Banners system. And also, it will help me keep track of orders processed for certain mods. Currently, I am having a bit of trouble with keeping track of who bought what and where it goes. So I think this little venture is worth it in the long run and will benefit me, along with current and future potential customers who wish purchase this product.

Along with the Rotating Banners when I combine it with Global Adverts, I will also be combining the locations found in Global Ads with Rotating Banners. So that way the whole mod works as a complete system, and not in separate locations. The current locations found in Rotating Banners is: Board Index Top, Board Index Bottom, Sub-Forum Top, Topic View Top, & Topic View Bottom. So with the combining process, Rotating Banners will support every location that Global Ads supports, and Rotating Banners will also support the new Add-On modules I plan integrating in the new version 2.0.0 listed above. So this process will be vigorous and grueling to accomplish in the allotted time frame I have stated above.

Also, if you currently own Rotating Banners, the upgrade process should be pretty simple and should go without error. But my guess is, when the application is released, current Rotating Banner customers may need to uninstall the hook version, (as when the hook version needed to be uninstalled for Global Ads when converted to an application), for an error free installation.

I would also like to state that I only do this in my free time. I do not do this for a living. So this is the time frame I have chosen for this major release. If it requires more time to complete, I will keep you updated on the progress. Also, this new update may or may not include more applications, but if it does, like I said, I'll try to keep you updated on the progress of version 2.0.0.

All in all, I hope you all will enjoy this new version when it is released.

As always, I welcome your feedback and would like to hear from you about this new update.

Sincerely,

Donald :)
