VBay! Transform your vbulletin into an auctionhouse!

[puredarkness]

anyone?


I had the same problem this is what I done and it fixed it

Login to acp

Go to usergroups click on user group

In the right colum it will show default usergroups

where it says it will have Registerd Users to the right it will say Edit Usergroup(id:1) and so on

Take note of the number ID 1

Then go to Vbay Settings click mmain settings scroll down to Vbay Seller Usergroups then put in the ID no: 1,2,3, and so on

Then save it should work thats what I done
Hope this helps

Hi,
the Vbay works fine on 3.7.2 but by me just with the standard template from vbulletin,
i have installed the Clean Blue Fluid from here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=171410)
When i set to subscribe a new auction i become this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in edited_by_owner/forum/vbay.php(258) : eval()'d code on line 22
on the line 22 in vbay.php is this: $actiontemplates = array();

Is this a bug in vBay or I must make changes in my template?

Regards

[BYB-01]

How is the next version coming along?
Good question. Just curious, is it realistically still being worked on, or am I flogging a dead horse?

Great mod. Installed and working fine.

Is there going to be an option for the seller to end an auction early or to delete an auction? Also an option to edit the "Domestic - International" shipping would be nice.

[StarFire]

Would it be possible to put a field for real names in the top of the adress-option-page? Most of my users go by nickname and not real name.

Thanx for this great piece oft software!

SF

[towermatt]

Since my upgrade I am getting a negative count on my list screen on the main page.

For instance...

Books -2

When there are no auctions running in that category, it says there are -4

Seems weird, I know. Hope its an easy fix.

I had a few members asking about a classified/auction mod...

[Morrus]

Abandoned mod? Last post from author 30 April 2008 (it's now August). i-Trader integration promised way back in 2006!

[oedipean]

hi, does any one know :

is there any way to manage the bids , for example undo members Bid?
where are the information which users filled (address) before bid ?
thanks

Yeah, it's ashame... someone doesn't have the odacity to at least come here and update us on status. What's even more mind boggling is that if you look at the last few threads... people coming here and still asking for fixes... DUH! This is one terrible author!

[towermatt]

Its still useful to come and ask for help because there may be a member using it with the answer...I've had tons of help that way.

However, it does not seem like this works very well with 3.7 because I have some major issues. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall (which will erase my entire history of bids I think :()--if that doesn't fix it, I'm going to have to let it go.

Aside from the fact that your using audacity in the wrong context there, did you ever consider the possibility that the author doesn't have the time to work on this modification, doesn't have an internet connection anymore, is sick, is dealing with family members that are sick, has lost the life of someone close to them or, God forbid, has passed away themselves?

Have a little perspective. This is superfluous piece of code that neither enhances nor diminishes your life by its support or lack thereof. It's free, which means support was never guaranteed and you knew that going in. There are infinite reasons why a modification can be no longer supported and to criticize the author just because you didn't get an update is where the audacity comes in. Modifications come and go, and support is entirely dependent on how much time an individual has to give it. That means it could change at a moments notice, foreknowledge of which you are not entitled to and you get as a courtesy, not as a right.

If the author decides he just doesn't want to do it, he doesn't have to. That's his or her right. And insinuating people are dumb for asking questions is also audacity, since we here at vb.org support each other, which is why some modifications that where abandoned two to three years ago are still active as members work out bugs amongst themselves. I think you should be a little more careful and considerate as to who you call terrible.

[x YNWA x]

Shame this isnt being updated. Our site actually love it.
Only thing we would of like added was a bid history, so we can see the 2nd and 3rd highest bidder. Dont suppose any 1 knows if this is possible anyway?.

[tonua]

Hi,
Ive added vbay to my site, Im running vb3.72. I do not seem to have the code or something to actually process the paypal transactions. When I log in as seller to sell, I clik button for paypal and proceed through the selling posting process. When I buy, it shows item purchased but nothing ever comes on how to to pay for the item. Am I missing a paypal plug in or something? I do not see any payment options admin in my vbadmin.
Thanks,
Tonua

[Zate]

i was all set to install this but it seems it's not being supported anymore. Pity.

[BYB-01]

Can some one point me in the direction of how to uninstall with out it crashing my board?

BTW, spend the money and buy vbclassifieds. It has every thing this mod was hoping for plus support

The transaction is seperate from the modification. Basically the "paypal" choice is just a way to say how you are going to pay, it doesn't actually do it.

[Welshy2008]

Hi Blaine.

I have just finished reading all 85 pages (1,266 posts). I Honestly think that you are a great coder and a fantastic Gent.

The amount of posts that have repeated the same questions s unbelievable.

You have been open and honest in everything that you have done and to quote someon:

We all posted requests for certain options for this, let's all kick in $5 when it's complete.

I will be putting more than that in my donation to you when I instal it and all is running smoothly.

I am running 3.6.8 Patch Level 2. :)

Please Give Blaine a break guys, he has been working hard on this (FREE) mod, combined with work on his paid work, other free mods of his and his college (not sure if he still does college).

I personally, am from the UK and will be using GBP etc. and using the good post code (or zip code as you American guys call it. :)) ie: SA11 4GF

Anyway, Respect to you "Blaine" and to you "RobUK" for being prepared to temporarily takeover (as well as offering to work alongside Blaine) while Blaine is busy on his paid work.

Many many Thanks.

[Welshy2008]

I tested this Last Night (and just now), Unforuntately - there were several bugs with it.

On my first test auction it only showed 5 words of my description. (2nd test auction showed it all).

1st auction, I had on a buy it now and auction. I used the buy it now and received an email sometime later sying that I had NOT reached the reserve.

bid incriminents still can only be in whole pounds. (I will have a look back through the threads for the (*).

Postage and start prices can only be in whole ponds too (again, I will look through the threads for the "*").

In fact - I tried the postage at ?4.95 and it showed as ?4. etc

The Payment method symbol does not show (I know that has been mentioned in the thread) it only shows as a white box with a red "X" centered within it.

I am only able to to add one picture, even though it says a maximum of 3. (there is a browse button there that allows only 1 Pic).

(I have entered the HMTL to actually enter a pic manually to the description area - but I can't expect my forum members to do that).

IMPORTANTLY - I set this so that admins and superadmins can use it for test purposes. I signed in as my normal (registered group) ID - And I had the welcome greeting message and was able to register. Why is this please? I have triple checked that my settings are correct - and they are.

On my second test on a BUY IT NOW ONLY - The sale went through. I, as a buyer I received the SELLERS address in an email.

As the seller I received the BUYERS address in an email. (why is the sellers address still going through please? There is no need to send the sellers' address, unless the buyer is paying by Cheque (Or "check", for my American friends).

I think this mod is great and so is Blaine for working so hard on it. Thnak You Blaine. May I trouble you to look into the above bugs Please?

I shall keep you posted. :)

---------------------------------------------

EDIT: Even people that aren't logged in can view it. :_|

[Welshy2008]

I can't appear to find the post (actually, posts - because there are two or three on here), which explains about the bid incriments.

:(

[Welshy2008]

I still can't find the threads that I need to explain where and what, I add the "*"'s to, to enable smaller incriments for bidding. I also want it to sort out the bug where I enter for example:

starting bid £19.99 (and for it to show as this price and Not £19).

Postage: £4.99 (not show as £4).

[Welshy2008]

What I was hoping for as well, it the ability to select more than one method of payment.

If the item were to be sent by post, then Paypal or cheque would be acceptable. If it was a collection in person, then cash would be acceptable.


Any help on the above bugs of mine please Gentlemen~? (Ladies?).

:D

[Welshy2008]

I have just looked again and still can't find how I can do the increments from £! to 0.25 etc.

[Welshy2008]

Auction is still on my test site. When the buy it now is used - the buyer receives an email to say that that he was the highest bidder but did not reach the reserve price.

What I would love to see included in the emails is the final price that the auction went for.

I would also like to see a record of closed auctions as I can't find any at present. That combined with no end information after an auction has ended, leaves me with no way of knowing how much the aution went for.

Can you fix these Please?

[Welshy2008]

I forgot to add that I have sorted the Pics problem out.

It didn't work via images/vbay/paypal.gif

so i removed the vbay out of that and all other ones and that side of it works perfectly.

(Yes - I did upload them correctly). :)


EDIT: --------

I have sorted out the pics by doing the above to the .js links in the templates and that works a treat too.

---------------


I have noticed that there is no facility for entering a "Name" on registration - can that be added too Blaine? thanks.

I can't for the life of me, find where that post is that explains what and where to adjust - to allow smaller bid increments.

[eglyntine]

I still can't find the threads that I need to explain where and what, I add the "*"'s to, to enable smaller incriments for bidding. I also want it to sort out the bug where I enter for example:

starting bid ?19.99 (and for it to show as this price and Not ?19).

Postage: ?4.99 (not show as ?4).

Just an idea on the decimal points problem. I haven't installed this mod yet, but it sounds like the SQL Table that is created for the mod is not storing the numbers as Float data types. It's probably Integer type (Which gets rounded down to the nearest whole number). Fixing that problem may be as simple as changing the data type on the column in the Table that stores the values from Integer to Decimal or Float.

[Welshy2008]

Thanks for your reply eglyntine. What is that in beginner terms Please?

Can you look into it please?
I'd appreciate that.

Thanks.
Welshy2008.

[Goodman_2020]

Hello,

Ive tried this hack, but i have to say that like it is right now, it is totally unusable for a working classifieds forum.
It lacks a bunch of things (like for example the possiblity to add photos after have posted the auction) etc.
Is there a new version more completed and usable coming soon? thanks

[Welshy2008]

I have removed the "Auction & Buy It Now" option and have no more problems with that respect.

What I think, in total - that would set this off is:

1. Personalised PM, maybe with the use of "$Hello $user_username". (both Buyer & Seller)
2. The PM to the seller would include the username of the buyer and the end price of auction.
3. The ability for the seller - Up until 24 hours or unless a bid has been placed - to be able to edit his listing.
4. A facility for the high (maybe all) bidder/s to be shown on the listing after the listing has ended. (both Auction and Buy It Now formats).
5. The main one is the ability to to be able to bid what they like (0.01 or 0.10 pence (Cents) etc.
6. The ability to view the listing/s after the auction is closed.

Mr Blaine - I think you have done a fantastic job at what you have achieved so far and I know it may have been a rollercoster ride for you. Not once have you given up on the people, even though you put this out as a freebie.

I really hope that you are able to and have the time to perhaps do some, if not all of the extras that I have added above. I am Unable to put this "Live" on my forum until there is a little more improvement on it.

AND, I tell you something... There is an above average donation waiting to make it's way to you too. :)

Best Wishes,

Welshy2008.

[Goodman_2020]

I did a listing too, of the things that are missing (a bunch to put it on a live forum like said welshy) but it was 1 month ago,

The most important thing missing are:

1) the fact that once you chose to don't upload photos when you post your classifieds, than there is no way if you changed your mind, to upload photos (the number you want)

2) there is "paypal" "cash" and "other" in payment option. It would be better to have directly the option "paycheck" and "bank transfer" + other like usual. and it would be more normal to have the possibility to chose that a buyer can pay via paypal or cash or paycheck or bank transfer or other if necessary, because give to a buyer the possibility to pay only via one method is a bit restrictive, and a seller might want to give different payment options at the same time, and let buyer chose how he pays then

3) rethink the look of the classifieds one they are online (not very "pro")

4) same thing as 1,2,3,4,6 of Welshy2008

5) a thumbnail photo front of each classifieds, that appears in classifieds listings in each category

6) in classifieds listing, 1/2 clkassified as more clear background

7) all interesting options that can be taken from ebay (without taking those which don't have real utility)

And if there is a usable realease, i'll make a donation too.

[dxlwebs]

hey im not sure if this was asked yet i done a quick check and didnt see anything but do you know if its possible to add moneybookers.com system into this?

[AuroraStorm]

So is this hack dead?

Awwww... :( This was exactly what we were looking for too...I hope he comes back and updates it for 3.7...

[Shmaba]

Wow this does look great but too bad it was never updated. Ill tell you I would donate 75.00 plus for this mod! If it was good. The only one thing I would request is that there would be a option link when creating a thread to either have a normal thread created or ebay style, similar to when you start a poll.

And if #6 was possible - It would be absolutely great and a fantastic selling point to have the ability, to either relist the item if it hasn't been sold or to sell a similar item buttons on the bottom of the ended listings.

I know that you have replied to this thread here, Blaine - I like the layout and features of it. (the each auction with it's own unique item number is great)..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92857


Which isn't isn't too dissimilar to yours, Blaine. Combine some of that layout and features with your great features and layout and you'll have the perfection forum action site.

I am not sure why people are constantly posting to this thread since it appears the hack is dead.

If you want an awesome working and fully supported classified/auction program for vb, consider vbclassified (www.vbclassified.com (http://www.vbclassified.com)). It has everything needed and the author is great for supporting.

I have contacted the coder (Blaine0002) and he has appologetically stated that he is extremely busy at present and will update this and his other Mods as soon as he possibly can.

I would like to see the auction format of that vBclassifieds, But I can't see a 'live' auction anywhere. I would also like to see a full list of everythng that this software/addon does and is capable of. I also would like to know if I can and if it is easy to disable features that I don't want. (ie, the comments box on the bottom).

I have also emailed the author of vbclassifieds.

[dxlwebs]

hmmm... well i have a running auction working at full on my website that i put in around 4 days back you can take a look if you like i think this system is very good and works just how i want it to i think you can disable some features and you are able to limit who can view and who can sell so it is good but as for the mega details i really cannot tell you sorry.

but if you want a basic auction system then this is the one you should look into adding to your site!

i would like to see an option to get comission on the sales that are made but maybe that will come later

[zombietom]

Does this work with 3.7.x

[towermatt]

Works fine on my 3.7 board.

Hi Guys.

I was wondering if this will work with the latest version of vbulletin?

thanks

steve

[despo]

I'm having a bit of trouble. I installed this fantastic mod, however when I have a user trying to list an item they receive this error message :

vBulletin Message
Make sure you have filled in all fields!


However all fields were filled in. I tried searching on this error but did not find a resolution.

TY for your time!

Any fix for this problem?

[towermatt]

When it happened to me, it was international folks leaving out information on their shipping address (since there wasn't a field for it)

It is literally what it sounds like, the secret is finding out which field is left blank.

[SpeedJunkyz]

hey guys how are you promoting this? I have had this for months now, but noone is using it lol

[wecleangrout]

HI all,
When I click on a category it directs to my forum home page. I tried searching though this thread and could not find the answer.

Not sure what version I am using. Where would it state that?

running vb 3.7. I installed this last year and just started to play with it.

[RedFoxy]

there is a way to integrate iTrader feedback support with that mod?

[wickedstangs]

does it work with 3.7?

[Digital Jedi]

hey guys how are you promoting this? I have had this for months now, but noone is using it lol
It really just depends on the kind of habits of your regular users. I've not seen much use of mine either and I've had it for several months now.

Looking forward to any update on this thing, our members LOVE it.

Probably over 10,000 worth of stuff auctioned out there so far.

[Jawa Lunk]

Will you be able to turn the auction feature off and just buy it now?

If you don't want auctions on your site but you do want people to be able to buy and sell??

Great Idea...thanks!

When you click on a catagory it goes back to the forum...?? It is missing vbay.php in the url

[MarkJW]

Here's to hoping the 3.8 version gets on its feet pretty quick! I'd help out with semantics/spellchecking/grammar on this plugin if the author/coder would like. There's lots of little tweaks that could help it out. First one would be changing the name of the plugin itself to vBay instead of VBay, lol. ;)

[jlew24asu]

Guess I should have checked here first before installing... but has anyone had any luck with this with version 3.7.4?

This is by far one of the best mods, it just needs some more work to put it totally over the top.
one sugestion -Fix the bid increments to accept less than 1.00 ...some peole only want to bump an item up by 25 cents or 50 cents at a time.

I really hope blaine get some free time to update the great MOD

[fengwu]

Good Mod

Doesn't for me, as I get this error: (I'm running 3.7.4 PL1)
Are you sure all your files completely uploaded, or are in the proper directory?

[ScienceOfMuscle]

Blaine,
I seen this is for 3.6, but still supported... will you be updated this to 3.8 by chance? This looks to be just what I need.

[decipher442]

Has anyone added this to vbulletin 3.7.4? if so... is it working well?

Are you sure all your files completely uploaded, or are in the proper directory?

I'm pretty sure it did... I can double check it and re do it. Will report back for those who are wondering if it works on 3.7.4

Thanks for the response Digital Jedi, I missed one file.

Everyone, it appears to be working fine on 3.7.4 PL1 !

Enjoy!

Does anyone know if 3.8.0 is written completely different and that it would be useless to try and upgrade to 3.8 with vBay installed?

[fengwu]

please upgrade to 3.8
thanks!

[squishi]

This is pretty cool. I started to go through some of the code.
Some questionable security in the admin file, though.

[stalkertj]

I've upgraded my forum to 3.8.0 and did some quick testing... vbay seems to be working just fine!

[decipher442]

Blaine0002.. can i hire you to modify this vbay mod to our likings? If so please get ahold of me..

thanks!

[zombietom]

I have a small problem --if a auction closed without a bid, a PM is sent to the seller ...well on my forums it is senting the pm from an old admins account ..so my Question is where to i change the PM setting to a currrent admin or mod?
any help on where the PM setting are would be great.

thanks

[Omnios]

Anyone know what part of this script I must modify to change the languages, I also want to change the "VBay" word on my forum panel.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[indie2industry]

Expect an update for 3.8, i currently do not have an active vbulletin license, so i cant get the new version.
To do list:
*use forums/categories/subforums for your auctionhouse.
high bidder userid -> username
*" in description cuts the description at that point
add buyer name
fix pm formatting
add more currencies
intergrate with trader ratings
add paypal api
bidder usergroups
*hot auctions on main < - Available with addon (wont be packaged in vbay)
admin editing auctions
*set up for use with forum commenting.
*fix amount of days an auction can be posted (more than 2 char)
ability to prune old auctions
make sure buy it now is using buy it now price, not bid.
allow admin ability to specify bid/buyitnow/both overrides.

* = Completed.

Will these listed "errors" be fixed anytime soon??? :confused:

[Reece^B]

Mate on the authors post it has been done.

[Reece^B]

I also want to change the "VBay" word on my forum panel.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yup, go to Languages & Phrases.

[Omnios]

Yup, go to Languages & Phrases.

Cool thanks for your help :D

[mjfhal12]

I have instatalled Vbay and it is running well. Thanks for the addon.

How do I limit the use to members of a group I choose?

I have changed the options in the control panel to the userid of the group I want AND only those members in that group can SELL but it seems anyone (including guests) can bid.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone know how to add auctions on FORUMHOME. kind of like the cmps mudule?

Does anyone know how to add auctions on FORUMHOME. kind of like the cmps mudule?
Try the vBay vBadvanced module: http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24932

[FRANKTHETANK 2]

i already have that installed. i need one for forumhome. above forums. anyone done it or know how to do it?

[ScienceOfMuscle]

Little feedback Blaine.

I have it installed and working perfectly for vBulletin 3.8

Also, PM me if you need someone to test things out. :D

Some ideas if you do push forward with improvements:
*Ability to edit auctions after being posted, I seen the ability to edit description, but the rest is no go.
*Admins able to close, or edit users auctions.

Everything else seems 100%... no complaints whatsoever.

Thank this post is what i was looking for,, a 3.8 confirmation :D :up:
installed on 3.8.0 seems fine.

[rhoula]

I created a seller group and joined the seller group but when i click "Sell" I receive this message:
"Sorry, you need to be a seller to be able to sell anything! Click HERE to request a sellers account. Thank you."

I click on the link and I shows that I am a member in the group but still I cannot sell.
Can someone please help me.

Thank you :)

[jrap]

Very cool addon, installed smoothly. thanks!

[rhoula]

Sorry I got it working, I entered the usergroup name instead of the Id.
Great mod thank you for sharing :)

[FRANKTHETANK 2]

can anyone make it so they show on forumhome under navbar? i will pay!

[private_ale]

Works flawlessly on 3.7.X -> http://www.beercandleforums.com/vbay.php?
I changed a few things so that it wouldn't look generic, It also looks more user friendly now with the additions icons. (See attached)

Nonetheless...
rated 5 stars

Go into the Styles & templates of the style(s) that you are using, then on the drop-down choose "Edit Templates"
Scroll down to "Vbay Templates"

From there you will see all the vbay templates, All I mainly did was add an extra column to the category templates:
<td class='alt2' align='center'><img src="/images/vbay/{$thecats['catname']}.png" border="0" /></td>then I uploaded icons to the vbay directory on my server and named each icon to reflect the name of my category, Simple!

Then I simply replaced the vbay nav with a fieldset.

As for the new listing page, I just added tables to help align all the radio buttons and cleaned up the fieldsets with CSS.

Open up the templates and you'll catch on fast, but make a copy of the style and test your changes on that first. :up:

Hi, will it work on 3.8.0?

Thanks

[Reef Man]

Is this compatible with 3.8.x ??

[yousellstuff]

OK, so i have read through a lot of post and i have seen that it does work on vb 3.8 but can someone make a list of changes that need to be done to make it work. I am pretty sure i saw a couple of changes that need to be made

[appsfinder]

hi how do i setup paypal to work with this mod?:confused:

[tei727]

i can only get one image to upload.

[Peejay]

I've been playing around with this and one thing that the users don't like is the PM's. They reckon that they should possible come from a vBay user rather than addressed from themselves as it has caused some confusion. Anyone done this yet or know how I could do this?

Any help would be mush appreciated :D

[seesawgame]

Can this module into the VB forumhome and display the latest or popular auction with quantity? :confused:

[appsfinder]

how do i change max days to 365 in the sell item menu only lets input 2 eg:36 not 365

i have changed admin to 356 days.

ill be updating this as i get the time.

[gemmk1]

How do you add your pay pal details please that is what my members are asking me they cant add there paypal detail and it only also alows them to sell one item when they may have 10 of the item

[Trek]

Just another verification if anyone needs it, working fine on 3.8.

[TravelForum]

Hi
I did try emailing you but no joy; I think your mail box is full. I like the product concept very much because my criticism (one of them) of eBay is that items can not get discussed and therefore a lot of replicas / forgeries abound with impunity.

I would like to request the following mods either as a bespoke service (which I would pay for) or as a general release. My idea is to offer auctions with subsequent billing of commissions to sellers for their successful sales.

So I am looking for some form of automated billing by email system which would;
a) Look at the auctions for the previous specified period - I thought make the billing date the 10th and cover the previous month's auction ends so as to allow a 10 day time frame for sellers to declare a failed auction / non-payment by buyer.
b) With that the ability for sellers to mark any unpaid sales prior to the billing date so as to remove those items from the invoice list.
c) To get a list of unpaid items.
d) To offer a PayPal link for the invoice to be paid which then confirms / marks it as such on the system. Although I would like to allow payment by bank wire as well.
e) I would like to set up the billing to have an auction listing fee plus commission on the sale, so I would like to express the fee (and be able to change it) in Euros / Dollars and the commission as a %

Regards
Mark

[zombietom]

Glad to hear it Blaine ! can't wait --make sure it after the update it still works on 3.7 as i do not want to upgrade to 3.8 for a while.

[Blaine0002]

just so you guys know, the update might require you to uninstall your previous version of vbay, which means you will lose all of your current auctions.

[towermatt]

Nice to see you back Blain, can't wait for the update.

I don't mind uninstalling, I can just make a record of the previous auctions. We have raised thousands of dollars for charity using this thing, it's great.

[Blaine0002]

WOW! im glad to hear its being used for such a good cause!

[Phobos49]

can't wait for the new version. Thanks Blaine!!! :up:

[TheInsaneManiac]

Looking forward to paypal API!

[Napster6]

i like it, is there anyway to work it so that there is an option in the admin CP for anyone wishing to use this, must pay a small fee, such as ebay. a Listing fee? I am really enticed by this.

[427mouse]

It seems to be truncating the auction description if a quote mark (") is use in the description. The description ends right where the quote mark was. Any ideas for a fix?

[Blaine0002]

yeah steve, i guess i thought i fixed this in the newest version.
its a simple fix, just add an addslashes to the wysiwyg variable before it gets entered into the db, and another stripslashes when its pulled out.

[towermatt]

Wow! No idea how to do that, I just copy my auction and then re post it in the editor.

Works for me but the truncation does seem to drive people a little insane.

[427mouse]

yeah steve, i guess i thought i fixed this in the newest version.

Is the wysiwyg variable in this template? vbay_new_auction2

This is what I found in the vbay_new_auction2 template:
<input type="hidden" name="wysiwyg" value="{$vbulletin->GPC['wysiwyg']}">
What do the addslashes and stripslashes look like? and where should I insert them?

Ten minutes later....
Would this be correct?
<input type="hidden" name=addslashes"wysiwyg" value=stripslashes"{$vbulletin->GPC['wysiwyg']}">

Hi Blaine,

This is great, thank you :)

I'm using this one a LOTRO kinship site so would like to change the currency to gold/silver.

1000 silver = 1 gold in the game so which phrases etc would I need to edit to make this show up properly? Also what do I need to edit to make a symbol of the gold coin appear instead of the British ? sign?

Is it possible to delete closed auctions? We have several test auctions that are closed and there doesn't appear to be a way to delete them.


Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Renada.

[Toupsx]

any integration of this with vbcredits or another point system that is available to use instead of real $$?

[Reycer]

ok, not trying to sound stupid here, but how do I edit the Vbay_Main phrase, the VB_Main template does not have this in it.

[brad2010]

hi

when somebody bids the item , and the last person Buy It Now, that last person wins but with his early bidding price - not Buy It Now price. COuld you look on it ?

[jordanb27]

I am also wondering if there is a way to charge for listings, either with real money (Paypal) or via vbplaza?

This would be a great feature that I would be interested in paying for if need be. Please let me know if there is a way for listing fees. Thanks

[nodn4rb]

first off I would like to thank you for this mod...

one thing that i have come across on my site is there is no way to have one auction for multiple items...

say I have 5 t-shirts that I want to sell for the same buy it now price...currently I would have to list 5 seperate auctions but it would be great to be able to list the item one time for all 5 t-shirts and users are able to purchase each one at the buy it now price...

hope that makes sense!

thanks again

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that you could use the built in paid subscriptions in vBulletin and then only give sellers access to people who subscribe.

[Rckcrwlr]

This is awesome...

A couple things I would like to see:

Ability to end an auction
Ability to edit an auction
Option of cash or PP not just one or the other

also, where do I change the wording on the Welcome to VBay? I have tried to find it with know success. Also, how hard would it be to change any reference to VBay to another name?

Thanks

MySQL Error : Table 'tablename.vbay_items' doesn't exist

[brandonroy]

I like this alot, but the seo is terrible on it. All the page titles are the same as my forum, as well as the meta description and keywords.

Ih anyone knows how to make the page titles unique for each ad (like the name of the ad) and change the meta stuff, that would be cool.

[Xphusion]

can this be used to "auction off downloads" IE say iv created a vb skin can i put it up for auction and then when the auction is done...the winner can download the file?

[kether1]

Blaine0002: This is true and the solution (besides paying out for VBSEO and then having yet more upgrade / cross hack headaches) is to migrate vbay onto VB4 when it comes out. Do you think you will be doing this? If you say "Yes / Probably", I will hold off until you do (or then declare you wont). If you say "No / Unlikely", I will go with the current VB and buy VBSEO (uugh).

Also, did I read you had an advanced (pay for) version of vbay?

[brandonroy]

I went ahead and nofollowed all vbay internal links (auctions, categories, etc) and disallowed all of the /vbay.php?do= pages in robots.txt. So my vbay homepage is the only page that should get crawled and indexed by google. I find this better than having a bunch of duplicate titles and meta's. Also saves on bandwidth :) So I'll leave it liek this until(if) someone can help out with the seo of vbay.

I have another question:

We all know that new auction users have to enter their address info one time when they click "sell", "buy it now", etc. It would be really nice if they would be redirected back to the page they clicked on before they had to enter their shipping info. Anyone know how to do this?

Example:
1. A forum member visits our forums vbay page for the first time.
2. He wants to post an auction right away, so he clicks on "sell".
3. The address page comes up where he has to enter his address.
4. After he submits his address info, he is redirected back to the vbay homepage. (I want it to redirect to the sell page)

This goes for every page.

I actually want every auction page to be crawled and I also want every auction page to have a se friendly URL.

Does anyone know of a vBay install on a site running VBSEO they can point me to?

Me too, but it's pointless for me without unique meta, titles and even h1 tags.

For example, I have the last element in my breadcrumb link tree wrapped in h1 tags.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/13.png

But all of the last elements in vbay are "browsing categories" or "viewing item".

i will actually be most likely only releasing a new version for VB4, as it would be kind of pointless to upgrade the mod, then upgrade it again with the release of vb4.

Thanks

[dealcafe]

Has anyone figured out how to do the bid increments lower?

[dealcafe]

Has anyone figured out how to do the bid increments lower?

I would be willing to pay someone to tell me.:)

[zombietom]

I would also chip in some Money for the lower bid increments and a relist feature.

[patsfans]

Is it possible to make users pay per listing? I've gone through all these threads but didn't see that anywhere. It seems like all you could do is to set up a "subscription" where people could upgrade to a seller's account, but there's no way under this software to limit the number of auction listings people could add.

[zombietom]

To Patsfans
Only way to really do that at this point is to charge a 1 time fee to become a seller. You would need to set up a usergroup just for sellers and then charge a fee to become one.

This is a great Mod and it is a shame that it is not being supported or updated very much.

[dealcafe]

Working on the Bid increments thing, it doesnt give me the error now since I did the database thing mention in this thread but it doesnt total them up correctly, anyone have ideas on that?

[Blaine0002]

Ill be releasing a version for the current version of VB, but only releasing updates and new things to the vb4 version once it comes out.

What problems are you having with bid increments?

[zombietom]

I think he is wanting bids icnrements that are less than $1.00 ...like .50 cents and .25 cents.
I would like maybe a relist option.Also the problem with th " it will not let you use colored fonts and stuff.
thanks for your work on this..i'm currently using it to raise money for breast cancer.

[Blaine0002]

Im glad you are using it for a good cause!

Im not exactly sure what you mean by relist option.. like, if the auction has ended and the item hasent sold you can easily put it back up for sale? (my guess)

and sorry for not being active in supporting it, ive been busy with school, but now its summer! and i have time to work on it! :)

[zombietom]

yes, that is what i'm talking about ..a easy way to re list unsold items..
thanks and i understand being busy but this is such a great mod and i'm glad you are finding time to work on it.
I hope others will donate to you for your time.
thanks

[towermatt]

Wonderful news!

I'm glad others are using it to raise money. We did almost $6200.00 this year for The Haven Foundation which supports Freelance Artists who have found themselves in difficult situations.

[Eruantien]

Any 3.8.x users have any luck with this. I would LOVE to use this mod.

[dealcafe]

Ill be releasing a version for the current version of VB, but only releasing updates and new things to the vb4 version once it comes out.

What problems are you having with bid increments?

This mod is exactly what we need but the only thing that is preventing us from using it is that the bid increments have to be a minimum of $1. Its auctions for coupons etc. so I would love to be able to have increments of .50 being able to have them in .25 would make it awesome! Is this something that can be done?

[Saviour]

I have two issues with this mod on a VB 3.8.2 board:

1. Ability to let users include cents ($.00) in shipping and/or item price.

2. Ability to change the content of the PM being sent to a winning bidder. I'd rather not have a seller's address included in the PM, if it is not necessary.

I absolutely love this mod, Blaine...and I'm looking forward to an updated version, as well, for the latest stable release of vBulletin.

Thanks, bunches!

Update...

#2 above was fixed by editing the vb_pm_you_bid phrase.

Still looking for an answer to #1, though...

[Saviour]

Oh...and one more thing...

Can someone recommend a seller rating mod that isn't in the modification graveyard?

Much appreciated...

[zombietom]

Itrader is available ..i think..if not i have it

[Blaine0002]

It seems the person who took over itrader doesn't seem too understand what it means to release a free mod for vbulletin, and is now selling licenses for it. (doh) Since I want to make vbay and all its ties completely free (besides vbulletin ;) ) and depending on if I can convince him to keep ITrader free, I might need to leave it out of VBay. Sorry guys!

[Saviour]

Actually...you have to purchase a membership in order to get user permissions to download iTrader from the developer's site. I needed it...so I paid the membership fee.

Thanks, for the offer, though, zombietom.

No worries, Blaine0002...

[Blaine0002]

i think its still unnecesary that you should need to pay to access free software. I will still include itrader in vbay, but i dont know how much it will be used.

[Digital Jedi]

If you can still integrate it for those of us who still have iTrader installed, it would be great.

[SledgeHead]

As soon as I post a new auction is says the auction is Complete immediately. What gives? How do I fix this?

I'm using 3.8.2. That shouldn't effect it should it?

[Bounce]

Do'nt know if someone has posted this as cant be assed shifting throu 1400 posts lol but does this have the ability of charging the user a fee before listing his/her item, thanks :confused:

[Blaine0002]

make a sellers usergroup, then use the vbulletin payment gateway to give users access to that usergroup

[SledgeHead]

I've only been waiting half a week for an answer and then it's passed over. Nice.

As soon as I post a new auction it says the auction is Complete immediately. It never actually opens for bidders despite setting it for 14 days. I'm using 3.8.2. That shouldn't effect it should it?

[DobieGillis?]

we just installed this on 3.8.2. Works like a charm!

[SledgeHead]

You didn't have problems with the auction ending immediately?

Here's an example. I posted this auction 30 seconds ago and set the auction to run for a week. http://www.vinylnation.net/forums/vbay.php?do=item&viewitem=4

don't see that as an option. Maybe others here can help.

[SledgeHead]

Yeah. I'll definitely need it. Every few months I'll be having to update the categories, so it would be nice if "Park Series #1", "Park Series #2" and "Park Series #3" were all together instead of being apart. The only way I can see keeping them together is to delete all the others and redo them in alphabetical order myself. Pain in the butt. lol

Guys! I need a little help here. I want to completely turn it into a classifieds script. Basically, all I would have to do is remove the "Auction Type" option and make it so that all new ads are set to "Buy It Now" by default. And I don't need the "Buy It Now" option to show!

[mikem164]

Guys having one problem. The drop down box for "category" is blank and it won't let u post without a category. I've been at this for a while and can't come up with a solution...thanks.

[Saviour]

Blaine...

I think the hook for the VBay navbar link conflicts with Cyb's PayPal Donate navbar link hook. As it stands...I had to manually insert the Donate link in the navbar after installing your mod.

Is there any way to fix this...other than manually inserting the link to either VBay, or Donate?

Thanks, in advance...

[Blaine0002]

not sure man... it shouldnt mess with anything as my mod simply adds it to the navbar build....

i guess wait until next version.. there wont be any need for a menu option

as for no categories.. strange, have you made categories in your AdminCP?

[mikem164]

Wow, real nice mod man. Have to ask is there a way for a buyer to "ask a question" and have it post in auction for others to see and abiltiy for sellers to respond? KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

[Blaine0002]

the next version will have everything integrated into a thread system, so people would be able to reply to auctions just like they were able to reply to a thread.

I'm assuming the next version is going to be updated to 3.8.x?

[Saviour]

As an upgrade or a complete reinstall?

[mikem164]

thank you sir.

make a sellers usergroup, then use the vbulletin payment gateway to give users access to that usergroup

Interesting thanks, how thou do I set that up, if a user clicks on the vbay link he would be able to post a new auction.

So I would need to have the "SELL" link redirecting to the payments page ? then once they have paid redicted back into the create auction .. hmmm :erm:

[Blaine0002]

no, make a sellers usergroup, and when the user requests to join that usergroup it will ask to send the forum XX amount of money. once they pay they will get access to that usergroup allowing them to post auctions..

Ok guys, im at the point where I need to integrate paypal, and im looking for user input. How do you think this is best handled? It would be hard making a secure section through vbulletin, so I dont think paypal handles should be handled server side. Does anyone have experiance with this sort of thing?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

[Bounce]

But then the buyers would need to do the same as if they access vbay,they would still see the "SELL" link, unless of course you condition that in the vbay template, what template is vbay please? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/06/29.gif, going to try set this up later on!

But then I would want to charge them for every item they put on LOL!

[Blaine0002]

im preeeeeety sure the sell link IS conditioned to check usergroups o.O

[Bounce]

Indeed your correct, sorry should have looked into it more lol.

How do you add Categories? :D Are they default? If they are I have none showing

[Bounce]

How do you add Categories? :D Are they default? If they are I have none showingIn the Admin CP. Under the VBay Bar..

cheers, its in the vbay settings in admincp :D

[Bounce]

Now that I've sorted that problem LOL here is my next...

Where do you enter your paypal address that you want the buyer to send the money to?

Off to search the thread again LOL

[Bounce]

lol, some work needed on this me thinks, here is the pm i got from my test purchase

Note that if this does not look correct, get in contact with me or an administrator before sending your goods. Thanks!

This was the BUYER that received this :D

[Blaine0002]

yea some bugs in the current version :( , you are going to need to search your phrases for vbay, find the phrase and then edit it to your liking.
i think its called vbay_pm_buyer or similar.

Ye, once they are all sorted this will be a good one.

add paypal api is an important one IMHO, as soon as the auction ends they get a paypal bill or similiar and the addresses of users should not be sent to the buyers, they don't need to know the sellers address, keep up the good work thou :D

[synseal]

Hi everyone, sorry if this has already been mentioned here but does this work with 3.8? or is there another version of this that does.

Many thanks.

[Strike-Force.ne]

Does this turn the entire vbulletin into vBay or can you choose what area you want it to apply to?

[Digital Jedi]

It has it's own page.

[Strike-Force.ne]

Thank you much, I was worried it would turn my entire vBulletin into a vBay. I can install this now. :)

[logicSix]

will this work for 3.8? i love this feature....

I 2nd that, I asked earlier but had no reply?.

[ArnyVee]

Can't wait for new version of this mod! Great work and a great way to earn some extra money for vBulletin owners! :up:

[0ptima]

Wonderful news!

I'm glad others are using it to raise money. We did almost $6200.00 this year for The Haven Foundation which supports Freelance Artists who have found themselves in difficult situations.


I dont use this hack, but can you elaborate a little more on how you are doing this?

[synseal]

Will this work on 3.8.2? please can I get a reply, I have asked a few times now?. Many thanks.

Can confirm working on 3.8.2 :up:

[tdyer]

I have vbay installed and working on my forum but for some reason no matter what combination of selections will let the reserve auction price display anything but $0. Has anyone seen this issue and if so whats the fix. I am running VB 3.8.2. http://www.lingenfelter.com/LPEforumfiles//index.php
Thanks,

[Blaine0002]

I have not seen anyone with this issue. The new version of vbay is almost finished, so I would suggest waiting for this!

Seems to work fine in 3.8.3 any ideas when the new version will be released ? thx..

[sv2bnv]

Hello, i recently installed this mod and works very good!

Do you know if there is a way to send automated private messages every time there is a winning bid or buy it now?

The way it is now, the seller can not informed that the auction has closed and there is a winner.

[Eruantien]

This is simply a great add-on. I am very pleased and appreciative for it.

Is it possible to delete closed auctions? We have several test auctions that are closed and there doesn't appear to be a way to delete them.





any help with this as I would like to delete finished auctions as well:D


thanks

[synseal]

ACP>>Auction + Category Control>>Delete.

ACP>>Auction + Category Control>>Delete.

that works great for current auctions but....... tiss of no help with finished auctions:)

anyone else? and will this be an option on the upgraded version?


thanks

[Saviour]

I'm also wanting to remove some closed auctions, as mentioned here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1774094&postcount=1386)...however, currently there is no way to do this.

Will this be addressed in the new update?

in your DB look for vbay_items and drop the old one's from there. worked for me:)

While that's all good...and I appreciate the info...there may be some that would rather not screw with their database...and those who don't have the first clue as to what you're referring to.

As for me...yes, I can go into my database and drop those items...but why should I have to go into the database, when a setting within this mod should do it.

Unfortunately...this mod does not account for that. That's why I'm asking if it will be included in the next release.

[Eruantien]

Does anyone know why upload pictures are not showing up? It just stalls with the loading graphic when you click on the image link.

[zombietom]

Any word on a update to this great Mod? I know there was talk about it

[Blaine0002]

sorry this is taking so long, its 99% completed, still have to work in paypal API, but my video card BLEW UP... waiting on RMA so I can get the files and finish it up.

[Markos]

thanks ive just installed this looks good

[Reef Man]

Hi,
I almost translated everything to spanish.
If you help me to get the files, I can provide you with that.
Let me know.

[bada_bing]

I would like to see this intergrate with iTrader so that when items are purchased or traded a member can user the itrader to leave feedback. This would be great for people already using the itrader mod

[Markos]

*hot auctions on main < - Available with addon (wont be packaged in vbay)
