Delta Blog

The new website for the Iyengar Yoga Association of the United States (IYNAUS) is now online.

http://www.iynaus.org

The new site was put online in stages. The first module to go live was the online invoice payment system. Second, a yoga teacher locator was put online so potential yoga students could find studios in their geographical area. Next, an online store was put up with a completely custom shopping cart and order fulfillment system since this member organization has products sourced from the United States and India and specifically wants to provide items to members (as a benefit of membership) and not necessarily the general public.

Future modules will involve online assessment and certification for different teaching levels.

More about IYNAUS

The Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States — IYNAUS — disseminates the teachings of B. K. S. Iyengar and his family. IYNAUS.org, the official website of IYNAUS, is your source for news and information about Iyengar Yoga, whether you’re a newcomer, an established student or a teacher.

How Delta Systems Helped

Delta Systems developed the member management system, online store, and online membership payment system. Delta is hosting the site as well. Content was provided by the IYNAUS board of directors and site design was done by a third party.

Yeah! The letters worked and are perfect. All the data was correct. … That feels so good to have reliable software. Now if I could only fix the data base. You are so appreciated. Know that you succeeded.

The Columbia Business Times ran a story on Phishing, Pharming, and Hacking. They consulted several local businesses that deal with these types of threats. Both Kevin Schmutzler and David Nivens also had several useful insights as to how to prevent these issues using several layers of protection.

We found it interesting that this story went live the same day that the latest round of attacks from the Asprox botnet started spreading via the web and Microsoft SQL Servers.

If you think your website has been infected by the Asprox botnet, give us a call.

We’ve figured out a few ways to innoculate sites from the attacks, even without fixing XSS vulnerabilities in the code itself.

How do you know if your site is infected?

Diamond Pet Foods needed to improve and update the capabilities of their online pet food dealer location services. Delta Systems implemented a city lookup as well as a zip code lookup system that will allow website visitors to find stores in which Diamond Pet Foods products are sold. Simply enter a zip code and how far you are willing to travel.

The system will place a series of pushpins on the map. Clicking the pushpin will open a bubble with contact information for that dealer. The maps are fully integrated with Google Maps and all the zooming, panning, dragging, and other features are available – making it easy to get directions to or from each dealer location.

Previously the dealer locator only allowed a visitor to click on a State to see a list of all dealers in that state. In some larger states, this meant hundreds of locations were returned. There was no additional filtering allowed.

In the past, Delta Systems built a system to handle customer calls, online data collection, and case management needs pertaining to a product recall.

The Business Times Company and Delta Systems are pleased to announce a new partnership that will bring the Columbia Business Times’ online presence to the next level.

Launching with the January 26, 2008 issue, http://www.ColumbiaBusinessTimes.com will bring readers what they’ve been asking for:

1. A PDF version of the ENTIRE printed paper (fully searchable)
2. All stories will stay ONLINE FOREVER. Permanent links will be used – no more changing from issue to issue
3. The FULL CONTENT of printed articles (all pictures, graphics, etc) will be online
4. SEARCH for any string of text in any posted article
5. PRINT an article replaces the links with the web addresses (since you can’t “click” on paper yet, you can read the address)
6. A fully INTERACTIVE CALENDAR of events in a calendar format (not just a list)
7. LINKS LINKS LINKS to local companies, organizations, and individuals mentioned in articles (without losing your place in the article)
8. Like how the author wrote this story? Click their name on the byline to see a list of ALL articles they’ve written.
9. Web-only articles, including last minute news, will be posted
10. Web-enhanced content (articles that had to be trimmed to fit on paper will have the full version online as well as last minute updates to articles after the print version goes to press)
11. Author and Editor Blogs
12. Full listings of information that may not fit in the print version such as Deeds of Trust, Bankruptcies, New Businesses, and other Public Record information

Also of interest:

1. the CBT is now one of the 4,500+ news sources feeding Google News
2. CBT pages in Google Search results are now much more intuitive and readable (this will improve over time as Google reindexes the system)
3. There are now a plethora of online advertising opportunities, including LOCAL ads you are interested in (we hate Netflix popup ads too)

The previous system only allowed posts in a fixed number of categories as well as a maximum of one image per article. This severely limited the quantity and quality of content the could be delivered on http://www.ColumbiaBusinessTimes.com.

A new database system will be employed that will allow complete creative control of article content. Authors and editors will now have the ability to post individual blogs as often as they like. We can keep going, but think you get the point.

Does your newspaper, magazine, newsletter, catalog, or other print publication need to be online?

Call Delta Systems at 573-442-9855 and let’s talk about how we can help get your content out there (and make money doing it!).
