UltimateWB Full and UltimateWB Lite offer automatic scripts that you can choose to run from your web server.  Both software versions have the option to run the Sitemap Generator Tool automatically to create a sitemap for your website and keep it updated easily.  UltimateWB Full has an RSS Feed Generator Tool and other automatic scripts available corresponding to the built-in apps that come with it.

Please check out the User Manual topic How To Configure Cron Jobs (Automatic Scripts) from Web Hosting Control Panel for more detailed info.

 

Starting from UltimateWB Full version 4.4, you have an option for the member registration/profile state and city fields, and the Listings Directory App state and city fields, and the Classifieds App state and city fields to be menu fields, rather than text fields. You can choose to populate the states and cities from a worldwide database available for download on the UltimateWB Forum, Full software, Install topic here. Alternatively, we also have state / city databases available for download for just the US and Great Britain, if your website is not for worldwide use for example. Please contact us to request database download creation for other countries (instead of the worldwide database available for download). You can also edit/add the countries, states, and cities from your website admin panel.

After downloading the state and city databases you want to install to your website, extract the ".sql" file from each zip, and upload that file to your website home directory. Next, if you have root access to your server and know how to use a program such as Putty, you can follow the instructions below, or just contact your web hosting company to install the files you have just downloaded to your server, asking them to install them to your website database. Due to the large size of the worldwide cities database, we use root server access to install. Here are the instructions:

1) cd /home/[your_cpanel_username]/public_html

Enter your cpanel (web hosting) username where it is noted [your_cpanel_username] (without the brackets).

2) mysql -u [your_database_username] -p [your_database_name] < [re_city.sql]

Enter your database username where it is noted [your_database_username] (without the brackets). Use your database name where it is noted [your_database_name] (without the brackets). And enter the cities database file name you just downloaded and uploaded to your web server, home directory, where is it noted [re_city_sql] (without the brackets).

3) Do the same for the states database, i.e.
mysql -u [your_database_username] -p [your_database_name] < [re_state.sql]

After the database install code, you should be asked for your database password, in order to process the code.

 

Starting from UltimateWB Full version 4.4, you may activate a user-to-user chat app. This is a real-time instant messaging app that uses nodejs, socket.io, and forever - it requires your server to support these features.

Step 1: Configure the Chat App from your admin panel: Configure Site > Configure Social > Chat.

Step 2: Open an internet browser and navigate to your-website.com/chat/nodejs/chat.js.php . Copy the output from this file and pase into Wordpad or Notepad, save this new file as "chat.js", and upload to your server in the chat/nodejs folder.

Step 3: If you have root access to your server and know how to use a program such as Putty, you can follow the instructions below, or just contact your web hosting company to perform the following commands:

A) cd [to your chat folder path]
B) npm install socket.io
C) npm install -g forever
D) forever start [path-to]chat/nodejs/chat.js

And you're all set!
