Topic: Simple question

Hi,
I found about vldPersonals, that was an unknown system to me before.
I've seen that a successful site was using this system.
Well, I already own a dating site, that was made using a generic CMS (available in my signature).

This site has many things : Photo, Blogs, searchable profiles with custom fields, a customizable interface and a home made backend.

I have looked at the features offered by vldPersonals, and I would like to launch another dating site, but with more generic and more fit features.

I would like to know :
- How good is the search system in vldPersonals and how far can it go ?
- Do profile pictures have different presets ? (For example, the possibility to click and have a zoom on them)
- What about access settings ?
- And, what about payment settings ?

Thanks

Re: Simple question

1. You're allowed to manually select what profile fields are searchable in the control panel.
2. Yes.
3. Users are able to select what content to show to everyone and what to show only to friends. Certain content (like pictures) can also be password protected.
4. Support payment gateways are paypal, authorize.net, 2checkout, alertpay, paygol and onebip.

Re: Simple question

Hi Vlad,
Thanks for your answer.
1. Nice. I forgot a gooood question : In the search form, there is always a concern about location of the users. How is it done ? Is it done by city, by spots, do you search by distance, etc. ? I think it's one of the most important questions (from the difficulties I have had on my own site)
2. Nice one too.
3. Oh, wow. This is great. Is the switch to protect content easily available to users ? (like, a checkbox on the content page or something)
4. Excellent, just what anybody needs (Paypal accepts credit cards so it's cool)

How much can one customize his vld site ?
The problem on the Internet is that many dating sites look like each other because of the same dating scripts used again and again and it's very easy to recognize them. What about vld ? I've only seen one site made with it, but what is your experience with it ?

Re: Simple question

Nice one. Thanks.
A bit expensive for me at the time but the first choice for me in a few months.
Thanks for your answers (even though more input would be nice too)
