The long awaited new release of Prosper 202 1.7 is available for download today. Nana has put quite a bit of work into this new version and it looks like it’s a real winner.

This new version has some changes to the UI/design as well as some changes under the hood. Here’s your executive summary:

UI

The UI has been relabeled here and there to make more sense. For example in the Setup tab, “PPC Accounts” has been replaced with “Traffic Sources”. “Aff Networks” has been replaced with “Categories”. The idea being: you can group campaigns together by network, by vertical, or by campaign type. Overall this makes for a more user friendly and intuitive experience.

A mod by yours truly also made it into this new release! My Subid Injection Buttons mod is now officially part of Prosper 202. Sweet!

Another great mod that is now part of the standard release is Jasper’s Keywords LP CTR mod. If you haven’t used this mod, it is badass and a definite must.

There is also a handy Mobile Mini View. You can see this by pointing your mobile browser to http://yourdomain/202-Mobile/

Under the Hood

The Administration section now has a button that lets you clear out (delete) all of your click data. This button will keep all of your setup info (traffic sources, campaigns, etc.) but numberswiki.com

zero out all of the click information. Doing this periodically after running a lot of volume will keep your 202 database nice and snappy.

There is also now support for third party pixels to be associated with each traffic source. So when 202 sees a conversion happen, it will fire that traffic source’s pixel.

And finally, probably one of the most important new changes is that redirect speed has been greatly improved. According to Nana, redirects are 2-5 times faster now. This is a BIG deal because as we all know, speed is king. This new speed should translate into improved CTR and ROI on your campaigns.

Chart Disable Mod

To coincide with the new Prosper release, here’s a mod I’ve used myself for awhile. Personally I don’t get a lot out of the charts. I prefer looking at the data as it’s broken down in the tables. So with that in mind, here’s the mod:

Edit 202-config/functions-tracking202.php

function showChart ($chart, $chartWidth, $chartHeight) {
	return; // disable charts   
	$reg_key = "C1XUW9CU8Y4L.NS5T4Q79KLYCK07EK";

You can see the change in the highlighted line above. This will disable all charts from being displayed. The result will be a 202 that’s a little snappier. You will also free up more real estate on your screen. This means more data will be above the fold and you’ll save yourself some scrolling.

That’s it, enjoy!
