Jawfish Tips

As of yesterday, Jawfish can now display channel dates, and both channel and item URLs. Previously, item dates were displayable, but not channel date, and URLs couldn't be displayed outside the context of a link. The addition of the option to display URLs enables Jawfish users to configure their feeds so that when links are clicked, a new window of a specific size is opened using a technique described in our CaRP Tips weblog.

We also updated the "Advanced Formatting" user interface to make it easier to find the settings you're looking for. Rather than one monolithic form with all of the output settings, we now have a separate form for each output field, which you get to by clicking a link on an example feed. This makes it easy to choose the part of the feed you wish to configure and find all of the settings relevant to that part of the feed.

Finally, Jawfish can now display channel fields both after the items as well as before them. This option can be configured using the Advanced Formatting interface.

In response to numerous customer requests, we've launched an associates program for selling CaRP, Grouper, Jawfish subscriptions, Chess Hounds memberships, iMovie and FileMaker Pro plugins, t-shirts, and DeGPG. Here's a slight revision of the email we sent out to announce it:

Dear CaRP, Grouper or Jawfish user:

We are pleased today to announce the launch of the Gecko Tribe Associates Program, which offers the opportunity to earn commissions of 10 to 20 percent on sales of Gecko Tribe products. In addition to our RSS products with which you are already familiar, you can earn commissions on sales of our iMovie plugin, FileMaker Pro plugins, t-shirts, encryption software, and online chess website memberships.

Rather than rambling on here, I'll just point you to the program website, where you'll find the programs terms and an application to become an associate. The site is not yet fully complete, but has everything you need to sign up, create associates links, view earnings reports, and most importantly to start earning commissions. More features will be added from time to time.

We hope you'll join us.
