Pulse Pro 1.8.1 is a small release that includes two improvements that many people have asked for.

First, the contact form has some flexibility in that you can now add two custom fields if you need more than what it comes with. At the top of the form.php file you will see these two new lines:

$custom_fieldname1 = "";
$custom_fieldname2 = "";

Just fill one or both in and they will then show on the front end contact form.

The second change in 1.8.1 is that gallery sorting has been tweaked so that new picture uploads will always apper first or at the top.

If you are upgrading from 1.8, there are only 4 changed files:

-form.php
-manage-photo.php
-gallery.php
-gallery2.php

Pulse Pro is now available for download.  Here is a list of what's new:

-Email notifications for new comments 
-Stats feature revamped and a bug fixed 
-Persistent login (via cookie), stay logged in for 7 days unless logged out 
-Ability to delete backups from admin 
-Slimbox theme (thumbs gallery) customized, must clear cache to view.

Pulse Pro 1.7.2 introduces a new feature, visitor stats.  This feature is not intended as a replacement for a full blown analytics package such as Google Analytics, but it gives a quick overview of your website's traffic.  There are only three metrics used, daily visitors, top referrers and top pages.  This basic set of information will tell you how many people are coming to your site, where they are coming from and what content they are viewing.

To track visitors on your site, just add the tracker embed code to the footer of any page you'd like to track.  If your site uses a master template, you can just include it in the footer and it will track all pages that use the template.

Pulse Pro 1.7.1 is a small update with the following changes:

-Recent posts feature added (The embed code is with the regular blog embed code) 
-Social media sharing buttons added to blog posts 
-Some inconsistencies cleaned up on forms (blog & contact) 
-Back button inside folders fixed
-Other minor cosmetic tweaks

One feature that has been requested several times over the last year is the ability to show "Recent Blog Posts" on the home page. I never got around to incorporating this into Pulse Pro, but at one point I posted some guidelines in the forum on how one could theoretically modify the blog.php file to make it do this.

A user (Ricard L.) recently tried it out and successfully got it working.  I made a few minor tweaks and now am posting it as a new feature in Beta. Once its been tested by a few users and no bugs are found, I will probably incorporate it into the main version.   Read More
