Under Construction Mode, Pages Prevented from Indexing and Much More in v.7.4
Today’s exciting moment is launching the release of the new version 7.4.0 of iAuto, iRealty, iLister, iAuto Bikes, iLister Heavy Machinery, iLister Pets, iLister Guns for Sale, iLister Caravans, and iLister Models. With the release, we’re excited to represent new additions in version 7.4.0 to our customers:
Creating Listings Using Data from Other Listings
For dealers that have to add lots of similar listings, we added a new option, using an existing listing as a template. Just create a new ad based on an existing listing and make corrections if necessary.
Recent Listings from Different Categories in Different Blocks
In the new version, we add a possibility to show recent listings by different categories in different blocks.
Adding Comments to User Accounts
Starting from this version, we allow your website users to leave their FB comments for user accounts. It will create a user reputation. A user with more comments is more reputable/trustworthy among others.
All Featured or Sponsored Ads in One Click
On the home page, users can see only several listings from Featured or Sponsored Ads. Starting from this version, users can see all Featured or Sponsored Ads listings on a separate page upon clicking relevant links.
Under Construction Mode
We added a possibility for the admin to turn on an “Under Construction” mode. It is a useful option for preventing others from seeing your website while it is in development. All visitors will see is a message telling them to come back later when the website is ready to be viewed. With this option turned on, users will not be able to register, add listings, etc..
YouTube ID in Feed Import Mapping
“YouTube video ID” field was added in feed import mapping. With the increasing popularity of Feed Import Addon, we're enabling new capabilities of this tool.
Added Geo Code Search
In the admin panel, we added a possibility to search by geo codes among other listing fields.
Advanced Search Improved
In the new version, advanced search will not only find exact matches, but also partial matches. It will allow users to specify a portion of the search keyword they are searching by, and find words that contain that fragment.
Pages Can Be Prevented from Indexing
There may be pages on your website that can have duplicate content. This can adversely affect your search engine rankings. To mitigate this, SEO best practices recommend to exclude those pages from indexing. To cater for this, we’ve added a new SEO instrument in the admin panel that will allow to exclude pages from indexing on your classifieds website.
Admin Emails to Users
We improved and extended the functionality of Admin Emails. We now allow sending custom emails to users directly from the admin panel.
Sayonara, iAuto Bikes Green Theme!
Starting from v. 7.4.0, this theme is no longer offered nor supported. Instead, please check out its brand new replacement, Bootstrap Blue Theme.
Other Design and Code Improvements and Bugfixes
We redesigned a lot of interface elements, made functional improvements, and fixed a few glitches. Please visit our changelog page for more details.

"This software is a huge help, I bought a competing product, and was very disappointed, and found this as a much better solution. Although it wasn't exactly what we wanted as is, support has been very helpful and competent, and the customizations we have requested and received have worked great, and we continue to learn and develop our business model, and support is right there to make the customizations we require, and now it is almost exactly what we needed, it will be soon enough with iauto support's help. We look forward to continuing to work with iautosoftware as we grow our business."

Mike McMillian
"After testing other classified ads software for use with an automotive website, iAuto won without a doubt! We were looking for something which would fulfil our needs as we anticipate to get a lot busier and the scalability of iAuto’s product was excellent. After only a short time the installation was up and running without any problems. Fully recommended and very good value. Many thanks to all at iAutosoftware!"
