DNA Software Feature Suggestions

Welcome to our official feedback forum. Do you have an idea? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? We want to hear from you!

Before submitting a new idea, search the existing ones to see if it has been submitted. If so, simply vote for it!

The programming team reviews and updates this site regularly. Try to be as specific as possible in suggestions to ensure clarity.

We reserve the right to not implement an idea, if it is not in the best interest of the overall network and community.

We pledge to be clear and fair in any decisions that are made to not implement a popular idea. Although, you will note in the history that most suggestions are implemented at some point.

I suggest we add ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

    1. SCRAP customer sign-up, put up Clear & Colorful Sales Page

      It's time we get rid of the confusing entry page into our business, and replace it with a colorful Pick the red, or blue button page. We need to have an actual SALES page, professionally written by John Carlton, and nice friendly graphics to lead our prospects to WANTING a Premium Listing.

        • PayPal Page Style

          PayPal is the primary way to pay for listings on our directories it would be good to either provide an entry in the admin backend to enter a "page_style" or hard code a default directory "page_style" in the payment code. This way we can create our own custom header inside Paypal that displays our directory name and makes the whole purchase process more seemles

            • Listing Import Tool Part 2 - make it a priority 1

              I am surprise that not one have requested this to be a priority one.

              • Add a proper welcome page to the directory

                At present the directory looks like a book without a cover - the index page is showing but there is no welcome. If we are to promote the main URL's of the sites, then this is the first page that the visitors reaches, and at present the first impression is a poor one, with no welcome and no strapline to tell them what the site is all about. We have about 2 seconds to catch attention and at the moment I fear we aren't.

                • Follow Me on Twitter

                  Give the directory owners access to this link for their Twitter accounts. At least we will then have the option to promote our directories and not have this link to a twitter account that Isn't updating regularly.

                    • Add subcategory of Steak & Barbecue under "Food/Restaurants"

                      Coming from a big market, I find it odd that, especially in the States, we have no subcategories for Steak houses, Barbecue joints, or Seafood Restaurants...first things I look for in "the Book" when I'm out of town

                      • Add About Page to Directory

                        We have a little room at the end of the Nav Bar on our Directories, and I'd like to suggest we get an "About" page that we the owners could put information on.

                        Besides telling a bit about the company, it would be great to also be able to talk about the areas we cover. I know for the larger metropolis areas - it's important to be able to say what areas / neighborhoods we cover - as many of these smaller areas may have a city name, but the population is so small we'll never do a separate directory.

                        • Option for listing in multiple categoires and sub categories

                          I own a niche directory and believe the *Submit listing* sign up form on my website should be customized accordingly:

                          I believe it would prove more effective for the niche directory owners in particular to hav the option for companies to list themselves in multiple categories and sub categories as many companies would offer services in multiple spaces.

                          So rather than them having to register 10 individual category registration forms, and paying 10 different invoices, why not offer the option of listing in multiple categories.

                          Sign up listing options would also need to include *additional* fees. For example:
                          1-2 Categories… more

                            this is a great suggestion and is under review for possible future development – watch here for updates

                          • Separate Trackbacks from Comments in Blog Templates

                            We really need to get the pingbacks / trackbacks separated from our end-user comments to encourage discussions on our blogs.

                            The regular comments should come first, and then Pingbacks / Trackbacks can be placed below.

                            This, however, requires modifying the comments.php files to separate this - so it is best done by the DNA team and pushed out to us.

                            Once this is done in the templates, then other options like using threaded comments plugins become more viable.

                                The page should have:
                                - preview of the added listing
                                - clear statement of cost and subscriptions.
                                - possibility to update/change the information in my listing.

                                  • Option to remove "number hits" from listings

                                    First of all, I'm not sure what exactly this means - and if it refers to the number of hits from our site's listing to their site, it's always going to be low and unimpressive looking when the listing is first posted at the very least (possibly for much longer) - and is just a reason for potential advertisers to say these listings aren't working.....so why list it there?

                                    At the very least, please give us the option to remove it if we choose.

                                      listings separated by a small horizontal rule, so that it's easy to tell where each listing begins.

                                      • Make the Find it Button on the directory Relevant

                                        Right now the find it button pulls too many results.For example I search for Minneapolis Institute of Art and I get 7200 listings in alphabetical order. Instead of the listing i am searching for.
