In line with our efforts to provide you with the best experience you can get when building or managing your classifieds website, we have been working a lot for a simpler, better and more customizable version of our software. We have saved the best for last in 2013 and today we are launching Belgrade = 2.1!
We had 5,600+ total downloads for version 2.0.7 and we’re hoping Belgrade = 2.1 will be even more appealing for you guys.
What’s new at 2.1 (Code Name Belgrade)?
- New admin theme, using bootstrap 3, and more mobile friendly than before, huge effort to do this ;)
- Refactor for Ocean theme to use Bootstrap 3 also.
- Custom fields per category. Now you can specify in which categories you want your custom fields to appear
- Social Authentication, login or register with FB, Twitter etc.. (Only premium themes)
- Blog integration, create a simple blog for your site in 2 steps.
- Better advanced search and widget search
- Option to disable publishing at parent categories
- Menus, you can edit the links at the top of your theme and add whatever you want
- New languages translation Japanese, German, and Portuguese
- Search for ads in the admin
- 1 file installation, upload this file, download and install! faster than ever ;)
These features are added since many clients asked for them in the forum or in our uservoice or simply because we wanted them in our own classifieds sites ;)
