• 27 Nov 2024 - Added .htaccess file to package.

Version 1.1

Key updates from version 1.0:

• Vertica now supports matching 186 timezones across 50 countries, where Google’s (unofficial) trending search data is available. If trending data is not available/supported in your country, you may use the settings in the admin panel to display alternative content. A list of supported timezones/countries can be found here. Timezone data was obtained from https://timezonedb.com/download
• Static CSS and JS caching and minifying are now automatically enabled. You can set the caching time (in seconds) within the /app/src/config.php file (line 13).
• New admin login session hashing using a random string of your liking. This can be set within the /app/src/config.php file (line 14).
• Search results page - You can now use script tags (to display ads or content from elsewhere) to the left and right side bars if you choose not to show the trending topics or related search queries respectively.
