ANS needs a new life... Anyone Listening???

Postby soulgeek » Thu Feb 17, 2011 8:14 am

I feel bit sorry/ Disappointed :cry: when i see ANS being a very powerful script in right hands but still there is almost no activity on forum.

Nither is Support/Admin active.

ANS has so much of potential, i am saying basis my 3 years of Amazon/Ebay Experience.

I am still not able to Understand, why are those amazon and ebay files are encrypted in Includes folder, when it has nothing to do with Licensing?

This gives the same type of layout of product lisitng to everyone using ANS, no wonder ANS is leaving Massive Footprints and becoming Ineffective in Search Engine.

1- Mods can we have ANS decypted, at least Amazon and Ebay Class class and config files?
2- Can we expect suppor/admin to be here Frequently?

What you guys have to say? (If at all anyone is there reading this post)

Cheers

hi soulgeek,

i agree, ANS has a lot of potential but still has some bugs. Forum support is, to be honest, bad. The admin only replies when he knows a solution, if not, your thread will remain unanswered. Ever since the previous owner sold his script to the new owner(s) the forum has become pretty inactive because a lot of regulars left. I find it ironic that the only topic the admin has replied to in the last couple of days is when someone asked if ans is still supported.

But at least ANS updates are still regular and bugs are being fixed. It takes time i guess but it would be great if the admin(s) showed some more involvement on the forum, letting know they are working on bugs, working on a new release etc.

Certainly, mere their presence (Dimitry) will give some confidence to the users of being heard.

I am bit afraid here and disappointed too, for a reason, which is, ANS has lot of Potentials but there are three big risks:

1- Technical Support is passive.
2- I am scared of putting in so much time/money/ebery to develop a business Model around ANS because, not sure how long will i be able to servive with lack of tech Support and less frequent bug fixing.
3- Biggest of all issues is Encrypted files, Except Licencing files other files dnt need to be encrypted at all, as of now, we haev least flexiblity on Product Listing and many other things, No wonder there are lot of Footprints ANS Leaving in SE, jsut because its not decrypted.


I once attended a Marketing Seminar in Mumbai by Philip Kotlar, and now i realise what does it mean of having a vital and potential product/service and if not marketed better than competitors is as good as De-marketing your own product..

I do believe, this post should Concern Dimitry/ Admin and we soon should be seeing more involvement of support and updates as well as Decrypted files.

Cheers and all Faith Up wiht ANS Team,

Hello
I understand. But i am alone by support and develop 2 scripts. And I just do not have time. And I would have left most of the files open, but the owners opted to sell his script in this form.

This is what is done with the new version:
- Add: Logo administration from the admin-panel.
- Changed: Cache-functionality algorithm of admin-panel.
- Fixed: Automatically cleared cache if main-settings of admin-panel were changed.
- Fixed: Display Order with URL category
- Fixed: Not a registered user can't add review
- Fixed: Problem with RSS
Best regards

Hi Dmitry just wondering if theres a way to have to sets of keyword filters for my products under the global filters section. If it's possible to include this in the next update that would be great (assuming it is not already incorporated) and if it is can you give me a hint on how to do this. For example i want to be able to filter two (or more) brands of clothing. Thanking you.

Even if you are able to do that, the results will be blended, amazon algo on search is naive and crude.

I would rather suggest you to define a Category for that Brand, u can easily find the SearchIndex and Browse Node of that Brand.

Make Sense?

I too have seen a demise of this script since it was sold. I don't expect it will last much longer, and for that reason I am not putting any more effort into my ANS stores.

I have just started using Fresh Store Builder and have to say it is 100% better. They have a support desk which is answered within 24 hours. Only one file is encrypted (one that doesn't matter) meaning the entire system can be tweaked as you see fit. They have a great private forum which is active all the time and new releases are coming out every few weeks.

@kaisersosa: I beg to differ here, ANS has so many possibilities and you certainly can not say its FSB is 100% better.

I have tweaked my ANS store to a large extent and added lot of must-haev features.

The only problem with ANS is, its not Marketed Properly Post sold.

I must admit the new Owner (Dmitry) is a very nice guy and he does reply all support tickets within 24 hours.

I been doing Amazon affiliate store for past three years and am claiming it all based on that experience.

I am just trying to find out who was the Original Developer of ANS , i just want to send him a 'Thank You' Email. he has done a perfect join with ANS, just they we need some followup on their part to Fix bugs.
