Build 225 Release Candidate 1 has been deployed to all current beta testers.
We could start taking upgrade requests at this point.
Please note, that the version 2 template is not compatible with V1.x. If you are current customer and you would like to upgrade your site you should be ready to upgrade you template or switch to the new default one.
It’s that time of the year again. Holiday shopping madness is right around the corner and it starts with one special day: Black Friday. It’s coming soon and this year we should be ready.
Today we are introducing our first Version 2 plug-in: “Black Friday”. Using it you can add and manage the new section to your site where you can post scanned “Black Friday” ads and offers. Plug-in comes with template and admin panel section where you can manage it.
You can see it in action here: http://www.perfect-coupons.com/black-friday
Each “Black Friday” store has an additional info showing for example “Store hours for Friday, Nov 26” , scanned ads and list of all deals with applicable links. http://www.perfect-coupons.com/black-friday/Wal-Mart
We would also like to introduce the special datafeed add-on to fill this section with all Black Friday offers, scanned ads and special info. “Black Friday” feed is available for $100/year.
The plug-in available for free with the “Black Friday datafeed” subscription or $49 if you want to fill the data by yourself.
Build 223 did pretty good in terms of issues, and build 224 will be deployed tonight. It has several bug fixes and revised for more flexibility template.
If we don’t bump in any major issues, the next build will be labeled as “Release Candidate” and at that point we will start taking custom template orders for the V2 engine as well as upgrade requests.

We are pleased to announce the beta release of our long awaited Deals/Coupons Website Script Version 2.
Its hard to tell what’s new, since everything is new. The new script is faster, easier, and more fun to use.
New completely re-done template engine.
New completely re-done admin panel
If you would like to participate in beta testing, please request it here: http://www.couponsdatafeed.com/beta
Please note, that right now we take only fresh installs, so you should be either a new customer or willing to start your site from scratch. Beta upgrades will become available sometime next week.
We are changing some logic for datafeed configuration this weekend. In order to avoid confusion “Select Merchants” section will show only stores that have coupons and available to be published on your site. You can choose to select all available stores automatically or select the ones you want to see on your site manually.
Thank you all for your patience. Version 2 is coming a little bit slowly then we have expected, mostly because we want it to be perfect from the beginning. Some new features require a lot of QA and troubleshooting. While we are still polishing the admin panel, we would like to show you the new default template for the “professional” and “social network” editions.
You can review it here:
You can see some new V2 features here: new home, store, category pages, dynamic comments posting/loading, completely custom seo urls, new voting system, and many many more
P.S. I know I will get a lot of responses to this post with the same question: “How can I get this template on my site right now?” Well, this template was build from scratch using the new V2 database and rendering engine. Adopting it to the v1.3.x will complicate it and bring some performance and stability issues. The template will be available in multiple colors with any V2 upgrade or new order.
We are so glad to announce that we are starting to roll out Version 2 infrastructure. The first step is the all-new, completely redesigned owssoftware.com along with deeply integrated couponsdatafeed.com. Both sites share the same design, features and have all tools that you need to manage your Deals/Coupons Website and Datafeed.
Some more functionality will be revealed as the Version 2 of the script become available.
