Super Backups make a complete off-site backup of your website’s files everyday and saves them for 31 days. Let’s say you mistakenly delete an image, we would have that image saved for the next 30 days. Super Backups not only save deleted items but also any file changes. If you were to overwrite a file, Super Backups would also backup the original file that was overwritten.

Super Backups also backup your MySQL databases several times a day and moves them off-site everyday and saves them with your changed files. Super Backups would give you over 100 restoration points for your data.

To recover a file just contact support and we’ll recover your data, it’s that simple.

Super Backups are now included with all Shared E-Cloud Servers and available with Dedicate E-Cloud Servers.

USPS on January 2nd  made unexpected changes to their API which will effect all shopping carts using USPS real time shipping quotes.

Shopping Carts Affected:
1. OSCommerce
2. CRE Loaded
3. Zen Cart

Current Issues:

1. USPS Domestic (within USA):
a. Saving the shipping method names strangely when viewed in admin. For example, it is saving names like this now: United States Postal Service (1 x 0.1lbs) (0lbs, 1.6oz) (Priority Mail<sup>®</sup>)
b. Issues viewing/printing orders/ invoice/packing slip in admin due to the above.
c. Customers complaining that they selected one method / price, but would be saved & charged as a different method / price (i.e. shows PRIORITY $5, but saves / charges as EXPRESS $10).

2. USPS International (outside USA):
a. Not showing international method rates any longer.

We have been able to determine that this issue was caused by a change made by USPS on January 2nd, 2011 as to how  method names are passed back for real time quotes. These differences in names include minor changes to method names and includes various HTML code that should NOT be passed back.

We have been working around the clock and we do have a solution and are doing rush repair jobs for clients.

USPS Retiring Current API:

In an email received from USPS on December 12, 2010, USPS notified us of upcoming changes to their current USPS Shipping API (quote system). Of the various changes they will be making to their systems, the one item which does effect everyone who is offering USPS Shipping quotes on their site is:

Rate, RateV2, RateV3 and IntlRate will be retired in May 2011, requiring all integrators to migrate to the latest versions.

Most clients currently have RateV3 installed, thus prior to May 2011 will require an upgrade from your current USPS Shipping Module to the new replacement one using RateV4 BEFORE May 2011 to ensure your customers will continue to receive real time shipping rates.

This new version will address a number of updates including:

- Upgrade to DOMESTIC RateV4.
– Upgrade to INTERNATIONAL RateV2.
– Address all Method Name changes seen above.
– Patch USPS Insurance portion of module to ensure if insurance is turned off, that customers will still see various methods USPS does NOT offer insurance on.

We are working towards a fix at this time. Unfortunately, USPS clearly states they are discontinuing support for RateV3 system and indicate you must upgrade to RateV4. USPS has YET to release any reference documentation for RateV4 so this is causing a delay in developing a fix.

This recent change on January 2nd without prior notification, in addition with to the notification of “end of life” for RateV3 without the supporting RateV4 API documentation being available, has been creating some havoc for all website owners who offer USPS Real Time Shipping Quotes.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Many of you have noticed over the past week or so that we have been seeing a higher than normal amount of spam slip through the filters and make it to users’  in-boxes.  We have been in contact with MailFoundry and they have told us that there was an issue with their system that takes messages from the reported spam feed and injects them into the rule creation engine, thus updating the spam definitions.  This has caused reported spam to not get put into the engine definitions in a timely manner, leading to an increase in non-filtered spam over the last week or so.

Reportedly this is looking better today, but the MailFoundry developers are monitoring the situation to see if any additional adjustment is necessary.  For those who have reported this increase in spam to our support, please monitor the situation over the next few days and let us know if the amount of spam slipping through begins to reduce.

We’ve recently launched our  “Locals Only”  Pay-Per-Click Service. “Locals Only” is targeted search engine traffic for brick-n-mortar businesses.

With our “Locals Only” service we find potential customers searching for products and services in your area which could be by zip, region or area code!

More and more people are using the internet as  a replacement for their local Yellow Pages and if you are not advertising online your definitely loosing customers.

Do a search on Google for a product or service that you offer. Did you find your competition during your search? If not, that’s great! If you did or didn’t, you really need to be advertising online.

For more information on adding “Locals Only” service for you business, please click here!

We’ve started an all new shopping cart mash-up! Cartrocket!

Cartrocket is based on open source shopping carts, but we took our years of experience of working with Os-Commerce, Zen Cart, CRE Loaded and other shopping systems and combined it with all of the features we’ve developed over the years to make one great new shopping cart!

Stay tuned !

Twitter Analytics Added to WEB2STATS

Are there a lot of people talking about you or your web site. But do you know what they’re saying, when they are saying it? It’s hard to keep track of it all. That’s why we created the best Twitter Analytics service on the planet, and built it right into E-nable My Biz!’s WEB2STATS. You simply enter in keywords that you want track on Twitter, we’ll automatically do the rest for you, creating beautiful reports like the one below.

You can filter the individual tweets by all sort of criteria (e.g. ones containing links, one with questions, ones with a positive tone), and you can reply or retweet directly from WEB2STATS.

Here is a solution to adding Google Analytics tracking code across multiple sites without having to edit any pages using mod_layout. Google Analytics uses a java-script code that must be placed on the bottom of each displayed web page.

You’ll need root access, Apache and some technical expertise install mod_layout.

Let’s get started!

mod_layout is an Apache module that provides both a Footer and Header directive to automatically include output at the beginning and ending of a web page.

You can download mod_layout from here:

http://tangent.org/index.pl?node_id=362

We’ll download the Apache 2.2 version and extract the tarbar on the server.

Install mod_layout using:

mod_layout will install the link to the library in your http.conf as such:

Restart Apache server.

Adding the GAC

Now go the web site’s document root where the web site’s web pages are and create a text file called gac.txt. You could really name it anything you want but for our purposes will use gac.txt (google analytics code).

In the gac.txt file, cut and paste your Google Analytics code from Google’s site. Your file should look like this:

Update the Virtualhost

Now we need to add the following to your <Virtualhost>..</VirtualHost>:

Depending on your Apache setup the <Virtualhost>..</VirtualHost> could be just about anywhere, for us, we use DirectAdmin. DirectAdmin makes this very easy. Just click on the Custom HTTPD Configuration link, select the Domain and add the above code and save.

Restart Apache

Now every displayed web page will have the Google Analytics code placed in it, view the web page source code to verify. How this works is that mod_lay is adding the text from the gac.txt file to the web page when it is displayed. The LayoutFooter directive places the added text right before the </body> tag of the web page to be displayed.

You may not want to add the footer to certain type of files, like .cgi, .pl, .rss etc., like so:

Now you can easily add Google Analytics to many accounts having thousands of pages in minutes!
