Too Much Media Releases NATS v2.1

Too Much Media, a New Jersey based LLC, is proud to announce the latest update to it?s industry leading affiliate program backend, NATS. No industry changes and evolves quite as quickly as the online Adult Industry. In order to keep pace with the changing times, NATS must also evolve. Too Much Media is committed to keeping NATS the most advanced, feature rich, and customizable affiliate backend package. Below you will find a list of features new to v2.1 which will help all NATS clients both run more efficiently and increase their bottom line.

Along with keeping our NATS product fresh, we will also be releasing two new products in the coming weeks. Our first product line addition, SPARTA, is a revolutionary member?s area authentication and protection system both securing your members area with username and password access and protecting it from password sharing and hacking attempts unlike anything else currently available. Our second new product, CARMA, is a highly advanced content management system with the flexibility and functionality NATS users have become accustomed to. Details of these new applications will be released shortly.

By offering these products along with NATS, affiliate program owners can now purchase industry leading products for all aspects of running a paysite from one company. Any questions regarding our new products or this press release should be directed to John Albright, albright[]toomuchmedia[]com, or 732-385-1536 x111.

New features in NATS v2.1

Admin Areas
With the release of new Too Much Media products right around the corner, we have added an all-new concept to NATS. Admin Areas is a section on top of the admin pages which lets you cross link between different Too Much Media products. This feature will allow future products to share data between each other and allow for easy moving between the products without having to login again. The different products can also extend each other more efficiently this way.

SPARTA Admin
An all new admin area is the SPARTA admin. It lets you monitor the SPARTA password protection system from inside NATS if you have SPARTA installed on one of your paysites. For more info on SPARTA, please contact us.

Override as reseller on admin overview (Admin Overview)
In the affiliate tables on the admin overview there is an override as affiliate icon.

Reseller overview
The one page system overview is now available for you to view an individual overview of any of your affiliates. The page lists an overview of sales with graphs, their personal info, a profit loss report, a personal notes section, their members, their payments and their rewards. Icons to overriding as an affiliate are found on both the admin overview and the resellers admin.

Admin Overview and P&L Report links to Members Admin now show only members for the selected criteria
On Admin Overview and Admin Reports you can now click the number of joins and NATS automatically performs a search and displays ONLY those joins in the members admin.

Geo targeting exclusion (Billers Admin)
Under Cascades on the Billers Admin you can now exclude countries with the geo-targeting function. The exclude selection box is found underneath the include box on both the view and edit cascade forms.

Add a Member feature performs postbacks (Members Admin)
Now when you manually add a member via the "add a member" feature on the Members Admin it performs the postbacks as if they were added by the biller. This also works for current members. If you manually expire them it will perform the postbacks as if they were expired by a biller. This feature was implemented for our clients who use their own database for authentication.

Example Join forms (Site Templates Admin)
Now included are 7 additional example join forms to give you some new ideas on how to design your NATS join forms.

Mail now button (Mailer Admin)
Instead of waiting for the mailer to run on its own you can use the send now button to send that mail out immediately.

New Filters on the Member Mails (Mailer Admin)
You can now send mails to members based on which site they joined and which billers they signed up via.

Mail template editor (Configuration Admin)
You can now use the mail template editor to change the contents of the automatic system emails. The editor can be accessed by clicking on the link next to the emails listed on the Configuration admin. NATS will list all possible variables you can use in each template when editing it.

New Automatic System mails (Configuration Admin)
You can now have the system automatically send out a mail to a reseller if they have been banned, unbanned, enabled, disabled, and deleted. These mails can be enabled by putting the subject of the email in the blanks next to the names on the configuration admin.

Example Dumps (Pay Via Admin)
Now included with the system are over 20 sample dump formats for Checks, Epassporte, Wires, Moneybookers, Paypal, and Quickbooks. These can be edited and configured for use on the Pay Via admin, accessible via Configuration.

All link codes on one page (Link Codes page)
You can now have your Link codes page display all link codes combinations by checking the checkbox for the option SHOW_ALL_LINKCODES located under Misc Configuration on the Configuration admin.

Advanced edit form redirects to payment info automatically (Edit page)
When an affiliate edits their information and clicks 'save' they are automatically redirected to the form to fill in their payment information. This is to prevent resellers from changing their payment option and not adding the payment info required to pay them via that method.

Dump all hosted gallery links (Ad Tools)
Create a link to adtools_adv_hosted_standalone.php and your affiliates can use the drop down menus on that page to dump all or various combinations of the link codes for you hosted galleries.

NATScode Variable in the header. (Any internal page)
The variable {$nats_code[p][s]} can be used on any internal page in NATS to produce the affiliates link code dynamically. This is particularly helpful for creating a top sites link list, new galleries list, etc that would have their affiliate code already in it. (http://kb.toomuchmedia.com/idx/0/326/article/)

New Billers added between NATS v2.0 and v2.1

We now support a total of 21 (23 with CCBill EU and Paycom EU) third party IPSPs and 9 different gateway providers for a total of 32 different payment options.

- OPS Billing
- MyVirtualCard
- ChargeMeLater
- DHD Media
- txtNation's mEnable
- E-PayCompany BV
- Password By Phone
- Authorize.net (Gateway)
- eProcessingNetwork (Gateway)
- LinkPoint (Gateway)

We would also like to clarify that we have always supported CCBill EU and Paycom EU. The CCBill and Paycom EU systems work the same as non-EU, except that the contracts are between European companies.

Fixes between NATS v2.0 and v2.1

Multiple tiers fix
Tiers could be set using a number less than the end of a previous tier. The system now contains checks to insure this condition is not created.

Profit & Loss report
Clicking on the transaction count for a reseller showed the wrong members. This is now fixed in v2.1.

Banned reseller causes incorrect dumps and fees
Banned resellers caused a discrepancy in the dumps when compared to the amount on the admin_payments.php. This is now fixed.

{$trans_memo} in dumps
{$trans_memo} previously inserted an extra line break in payouts dumps. This is now fixed.

Non-recurring Joins added to Admin Overview
The overview box (in the upper left corner) on the Admin Overview now includes non-recurring joins in the total join count.

Auto-mails coming from wrong member
Certain auto-mails would use the webserver users email address to send rather than the one indicated by the configuration admin. This is now fixed.

Active Members
The active member count function on stats.php templates is now working. Use {$active_members} to tell your affiliates how many active revshare members they currently have.

We like your product. will these changes automatically roll over to the system in place now ? or will we be required to do anything from our end?

very nice upgrades

Hey Joesho. We are going to be doing updates starting today. We are expecting to have everyone updated sometime next week. Clients who are experiencing issues related to fixes in v2.1 are being updated first. After them all clients will be updated in order of purchase date. If any issues arrive during your update we will roll back and contact you for details of the issues.

We are also emailing all clients with news of this release and to let them know that if they wish to be contacted prior to the updated please email valerie[]toomuchmedia[]com to let her know.

Thanks!

Edit: Sorry, forgot about the second half of your question. There is nothing you need to do on your end to prepare for the update. Thanks tho.

i'm very excited about the new version :)

and loving NATS more each day!

some nice feature additions, nats will some day rule the world. :P

THIS is one of the MANY reasons why you go with NATS & forget the rest when choosing an affilate program software. Where else do you get this many good version upgrades and at no extra charge?

Great work guys NATS is without a doubt at the top of the game as always

Thank you everyone :)

And yes, there are no costs to anyone for this update. That includes both lease and outright license customers. As of now we hope to provide all upgrades to all clients at no cost and see no reason why we will ever charge for an upgrade in the future.

Thanks again!

the best keeps getting better :thumbsup big up's to your team :)

John I would like to call you , can you please send me a phone number here, or icq 174842541

cool stuff

Joesho,

It's on our website and in the press release above. 732-385-1536 x111

John

wonder what the mpa people will respond with

god bless you :winkwink:

nice features :thumbsup

Sweet! Can't wait for the update!

Cool deal. Are you going to email us when we've been switched to the new system, or will it be apparent right as we login?

Why is NATS so valuable? Because this same update from MPA would have cost you money! With NATS updates are free... You simply can't beat NATS!

Just curious what happens to excluded countries.. and if its implied on the join page or left up to the sponsor to make clear to the surfer.. ?

btw nice looking upgrade.. if there wasn't already enough cool things about nats, there sure is now. :thumbsup

Looks like some nice new features! Looking forward to seeing you guys in October.

hot shit... nats is number 1 for a reason... can't wait to get upgraded :thumbsup






.

Very happy....
Nats makes us Very Very happy!....looks like we will get even more happy if that is even possible? :thumbsup

ohh man, cant wait!

Duke

Another upgrade already, hehe. Weren't we just upgraded. You guys seriously rock! :)

Mark

Kinda misunderstandable... sorry.. lemme explain what the point is.

Excluded Countries for cascades is so that I could say, offer Join by Credit Card to any surfer except anyone from china, just do not offer that option to them.

We have allowed countries already, but sometimes its easier to select 5 not allowed than 250 allowed ones ;)

This is only for cascades, ie join options, on the join form, or single billers IN a cascade. So you could say, bypass CCBill for anyone that is from an asian country but do go to epoch first and if they get denied to a dialer.

Fabian

Great news John! Can't wait for the party on Oct. 1.

:thumbsup ok i get it..

extremely cool!

Owh yeah cant wait to have my NATS upgraded to v2.1 :)
