New services from the iJoomla team

• SMF installation - SMF is probably the best forum software available. It's used by a number of giant sites...and ours too. The program itself is free but installing it for Joomla requires programming knowledge and really isn't easy. If you've always wanted a forum like the one on Joomla.org, you can ask us to set it up for you. We'll get it up and running for $199.
• SEF patch installation - Alledia, the #1 Joomla SEO experts, recommends the SEF patch for anyone who wants to take their site to the next level. We use it to improve our search rankings, and love it! But we have to say... it's a bitch to install. You'll need programming knowledge and lots of patience. We have both and we're willing to share. Once you've bought your copy, we'll do the hard stuff for you for just $199.

How does it work?

• Buy the service here.
• Open a support ticket and ask us to install the program for you.
• You must provide your site's FTP and admin login information. (Your information is safe with us. We're the good guys!)
• Enjoy your new forum and your SEO results.
  

iJoomla DigiStore Expands

When we created iJoomla Digistore, we decided to start simple and add more features as we go. We wanted to get it out right away instead of keeping you waiting for years. Since DigiStore's release, we've have had plenty of suggestions and we've now added many important features. These are the biggest:

• Stock - Define the size of your stock, see how many items are left, and decide to show or hide your remaining inventory on the front end.
• Layouts - We've added some layout flexibility and we're still adding more. At the moment, you can organize the categories vertically instead of horizontally (you can see an example here) but leave the products layout alone for now, we will be improving it drastically for the next version.
• Promo codes - Offer your customers and partners a discount promo code. You can choose between a fixed reduction or a percentage of the sales price. Offer your customers a holiday promo code and see your sales increase dramatically!
• iDev affiliate support - Now you can automatically connect to iDev affiliate (but you must have the iDev affiliate program already installed and running).
• Free products - Hand out free downloadable products that your users can grab after they complete registration.
• Multiple categories - Put a product in more than one category...
• Nested categories - ...and add as many categories and sub categories as you need
• VAT - We've completely re-worked the VAT feature so that it's up-to-date with all the VAT requirements. There are now two extra questions on the registration for VAT calculation, but they will only show to customers who need them based on their location. Thanks for Pedro from componentslab.com for all his help!
• Shipping address - Now your customers can add a different shipping address.
• Product end publishing date - Specify the last publishing date of a product (very useful for seasonal items or special offers!)
