Kolkata, India, May 2025 — Best Classified Script, a ready-made software provider for classified marketplace and business directory platforms, has released Version 3.2.0 of its Business Directory Script. The update introduces Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for user logins, a redesigned admin panel interface, and a set of security and performance improvements built around feedback from platform owners actively running directory websites.

The release addresses a gap that directory platform founders have raised repeatedly: out-of-the-box security on ready-made scripts rarely matches what operators need once their platforms start getting real traffic. Version 3.2.0 moves the baseline significantly forward.

What Version 3.2.0 Includes
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): User logins now support 2FA, adding a second verification layer that reduces the risk of unauthorised account access. For business directory platforms where sellers manage listings and contact information, this is a meaningful trust upgrade for both operators and their users.

Admin Panel UX Rebuild: The admin interface has been redesigned for faster navigation and clearer task flows. Operators managing listings, user accounts, and category structures will notice a reduced number of steps for common actions — an improvement that becomes significant at scale.

Refactored Session Management: Session handling has been rewritten using CodeIgniter's native SessionHandlerInterface, replacing an older approach that was prone to instability under concurrent logins. The result is a more reliable session layer, particularly on shared hosting environments.

Optimised Database Queries: Query Builder caching has been applied to the most frequently hit database operations, improving page load performance for listing searches and category browsing without requiring infrastructure changes from the operator.

Security Patches: An XSS vulnerability in the comment form has been resolved. The platform has been upgraded to a patched version of CodeIgniter that closes known core vulnerabilities. A longstanding issue with the payment gateway callback returning intermittent 500 errors has also been fixed.

Safari Upload Fix: Profile pictures failed to upload on Safari browsers in previous versions. This has been resolved and tested across current Safari versions on both macOS and iOS.

Why This Update Matters for Business Directory Platform Owners
Business directory websites handle sensitive business data — contact details, service descriptions, pricing, location — for multiple registered sellers. Security and reliability are not optional extras at that point. They are what sellers evaluate when deciding whether to maintain an active listing.
The Version 3.2.0 security layer, particularly 2FA, gives operators something concrete to communicate to new sellers during onboarding: the platform takes account security seriously and has the infrastructure to back it up.
The Business Directory Script supports multiple directory types — local business directories, B2B directories, industry-specific portals, and global listing platforms. All of these verticals benefit from the v3.2.0 improvements.

Release History: A Pattern of Incremental Improvement
Version 3.2.0 follows two prior significant releases. Version 3.0.0, shipped in October 2024, was a major architectural update — migrating the core from PHP 7.2 to PHP 8.1, introducing role-based access control (RBAC) in the admin module, and completing a full HMVC refactor for long-term maintainability. Version 3.1.0, released in January 2025, added Ajax-based search for real-time filtering, SEO-friendly URLs across all dynamic routes, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 integration.
The Version 3.2.0 release continues that trajectory — focusing on the security and operational stability layer that enterprise buyers and growth-stage operators increasingly expect before committing to a platform.

Availability
Version 3.2.0 of the Business Directory Script is available now. Existing licence holders can access the update through their support channel.
