Great Mod!

I want 1 forum, or forum group, within all my other forums to be a free classified. Is this possible?

Right now I have one:
http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=60

But would prefer to have just 1 group like:
http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=27

Where I can split up the different products/categories....

As you can see in the screenshots, we don't use forums/subforums interface. Rather we use category/subcategory listings.
If this is what did you meant, yes, you can have different price per Ad for any single category or subcategory.
To setup subcategories, first you must setup categories and then, on the drop list on the right of the category's name, choose "Edit Subcategories".

Will this work on vB 3.7? or is that something in the future?

[vbFreelancers]

Will this work on vB 3.7? or is that something in the future?

When 3.7.x will has a stable version, we'll install it and check our Mods for any incompatibility. But the way that Mary developed her mods, it's nearly totally sure that they'll be compatible.

Interesting! I am gonna try it! I have tried several others out there and I have to say I was sheerly disappointed...

I assume this is the Lite version... May I ask, if I install this Lite version and decide on the Commercial version... is there any issues upgrading? Also, are the tables in the vb database, or is this database a separate one?

Thanks.... ~ Ed

Hello Ed,

We use vB's database (as all mods I believe). Upgrade is simple by uploading the files again and re-importing the product_vbfclassifieds.xml file. There is no change in database as we didn't removed from the lite version the extra tables that the commercial version is using.

Hi Marina... Sounds good! I am installing now. Since I haven't finihed yet... can this be set up like a local ebay... with bidding and all? I see there is PayPal IPN support. And thanks for the fast response...

:D

No, it's not an Auction module ...yet. Let's be honest. Everything is depending:

On it's popularity
On the amount of sales of the commercial versionWe don't plan to add a simple "bid feature". We prefer not to add anything, than adding ...rubish. So, in case that it'll become popular, we'll add major autction features.

[valdet]

I downloaded this. It looks very promising. Lets hope it stays bug-free errrmm doesn't get dumped to the graveyard

[alfaowner]

I installed it on a 3.6.4 and now my page is blank with the word Done in thbrowser window, try refreshing, however it is a test board after all. I guess it doesnt work for 3.6.4 as you do state 3.6.8

[Sychev_S]

watch this mod being moved to the modification graveyard for security risks in 3,2,1....

[inciarco]

I'll Try It on My Test Forum!! :up:

Looks Like a Really Nice Mod!! :up:

One Question: Can Users Comment (Make Questions) On The Classifieds?? :confused: This Is Important To Stablish Contact And Provide Answers Regarding the Classifieds!! ;)

My Best Regards To All Authors and Co-Authors!! :up: Thank You Very Much For Sharing This Great Mod!! :up:

:)

[inciarco]

One Bug: Images Don't Display Nor Upload On Folders Establishes With 777 Permissions!! :confused: :(

Other Bug: When Including a Smilie in the Description, and Seeing the My Classifieds Option the Smilies are Displayed Enormous!! :confused: :( When Seeing the Classified the Smilies have a Normal Size.

Other Bug: There's No Option To Buy ?tems (Clasifieds), so there's No Way there's going to Be any Information Displayed on the My Sales and My Orders, Options!! :confused: :(

Other I Think Bug: There's No Rewiews Options For Users, I take as a Review the Concept of Allowing Users to Post Comments on the Classifieds!! :confused: :(

Other I Think Bug: There's No Option To Upload More Images (Just One)!! :confused: :(

Without the Reply (Comments) Option, I Think The Mod is Incomplete, as well as Without the Option to Buy an Item and Tell the Seller a Buyer is Interested in the Classified!! :rolleyes:

Also would be Great to Send a PM to the Seller when a Forumer (Client) is Interested in Buying an ?tem!! :rolleyes:

I Hope You Can Solve This Bugs!! ;)

For Now I'll Continue Using with the SR Classifieds 1.0.5 Light and of Course vBClubs by Mary (MicroHellas) that Includes an Interesting Classifieds Feature!! :(

My Best Regards!! ;)

watch this mod being moved to the modification graveyard for security risks in 3,2,1....

I've checked in person the code and I did all needed changes to be according to vB's prototype for security, by using $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc, by validating all form inputs and as you can see 95% of the code are functions.

Of course there is always the possibility to have forgotten something. The big difference is that I don't act like Mary, to become upset and let it in Graveyard. As soon as I'll be informed for a volnurability I'll check and correct it in a catch of the eye, and the mod will be back again and it will stay here for ever.

One Bug: Images Don't Display Nor Upload On Folders Establishes With 777 Permissions!! :confused: :(
By default (as I'm writting in my post) none usergroup has permission to do anything, and the default amount of photos tha a user can upload is "0". Have you setup it?

Other Bug: When Including a Smilie in the Description, and Seeing the My Classifieds Option the Smilies are Displayed Enormous!! :confused: :( When Seeing the Classified the Smilies have a Normal Size.

In "My Classifieds" section the description that is appearing there is shorted according to the number of characters that you've setup in vbFClassifieds->Options. As the default is 100 characters, if you haven't change it, this is the reason that causes the problem.

Other Bug: There's No Option To Buy ?tems (Clasifieds), so there's No Way there's going to Be any Information Displayed on the My Sales and My Orders, Options!! :confused: :(

Most probably you're trying to buy ...your items. My dear I spent lot of time to make the mod smart. To show what really needs to show. Except if you think that showing the option "Buy it" to ad's owner it's a need.

Other I Think Bug: There's No Rewiews Options For Users, I take as a Review the Concept of Allowing Users to Post Comments on the Classifieds!! :confused: :(

Reviews are going to Sellers and not to items. This is the normal way that classifieds work. And to be able to rate/review a seller you must first buy something from him.

Other I Think Bug: There's No Option To Upload More Images (Just One)!! :confused: :(

Not bug. Restriction of Lite version.

Without the Reply (Comments) Option, I Think The Mod is Incomplete, as well as Without the Option to Buy an Item and Tell the Seller a Buyer is Interested in the Classified!! :rolleyes:

Also would be Great to Send a PM to the Seller when a Forumer (Client) is Interested in Buying an ?tem!! :rolleyes:

Same as your similar question about the "Buy it". What do you want the "Contact seller" in your own ads? Are you planing to contact yourselve?:D

I Hope You Can Solve This Bugs!! ;)

As you can see, none of what you reported, was a bug.

For Now I'll Continue Using with the SR Classifieds 1.0.5 Light and of Course vBClubs by Mary (MicroHellas) that Includes an Interesting Classifieds Feature!! :(

vbFClassifieds, is an advanced version of Mary's mod. Its based on her code, we just added code to follow vB's prototype for security. Also Mary participate by 20% to our company (vBulletin Freelancers).

I installed it on a 3.6.4 and now my page is blank with the word Done in thbrowser window, try refreshing, however it is a test board after all. I guess it doesnt work for 3.6.4 as you do state 3.6.8

Try a trick that works in most cases when your're getting blank page in vB's mods. From your admincp->vBulletin Option->Cookies and HTTP Header Options turn off GZIP HTML Output. Of course don't forget to save the new settings.

I am getting this error upon trying to add a classified:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:

any ideas?

By seeing "categoryid= " seems that you haven't setup categories.

Doh - LMAO. Sorry!

One more quick question. I use IE7 and noticed I'm getting a error on the page. Any idea?

What did you tried to do when you noticed this error? I'm also using IE7 and never had the yellow triangle at status bar.

I clicked "add classified" and noticed it down in my browser. It's random tho, I tried to dupicate it and it hasn't shown up since. I will post back up if I see it.

hmmm... I know what happens, but it's not important (of course will update the file). At that point there is a javascript code to update the extra fields. But as the extra fields have been removed from the Lite version, the browser shows this error in the status bar.

[CNY750Rider]

Also, I asked another admin of mine to post an item so we could do a dry walk through of the purchase process before going live. Sorry for being a pain but I have yet another question. A assume the "my sales" and "my orders" updates hourly? I purchaed the item he posted and it is no longer available or seen for sale, but neither of us see anything under the "my sales" or "my orders" to comfirm is was completed? Does it update hourly, daily or are we missing something in the process? Sorry to be a pain in the ***.

And, can quantities be added?

1.- The update is automatic, as long as PayPal, send back the confirmation. Have you got emails from PayPal?
2.- No, quantities are not supporting yet. But after a sale, you can reactivate the Ad, without the need to re-write it. Just by clicking "Publish".

yes, emails have been received by both the buyer and seller, from paypal. I just checked "my orders" and "my sales" again and nothing is displayed?

[vbFreelancers]

Is the seller's PayPal account a Premium or Business? Personal account are not supporting by PayPal for IPN (Instant Payment Notification).
Is IPN activated in your (sellers) PayPal account?

[inciarco]

By default (as I'm writting in my post) none usergroup has permission to do anything, and the default amount of photos tha a user can upload is "0". Have you setup it?

You're Right; by setting a Number Higher than 0 the Images are Uploaded!! :up:

In "My Classifieds" section the description that is appearing there is shorted according to the number of characters that you've setup in vbFClassifieds->Options. As the default is 100 characters, if you haven't change it, this is the reason that causes the problem.

I Don't Agree with This Behaviour in This Mod!! :down: I Think Is Important For Potential Buyers to be Able to Ask Information about the Item that They're Going to Buy!! :rolleyes: I Think is also Important For Me as Seller to be able to Post Additional Information Answering those Questions from Potential Buyers!! :rolleyes: I Think Your Should Change That in this Mod!! ;)

Reviews are going to Sellers and not to items. This is the normal way that classifieds work. And to be able to rate/review a seller you must first buy something from him.

Ok, I Think That's Logic!! :up:

Not bug. Restriction of Lite version.

Ok!! :erm:

Same as your similar question about the "Buy it". What do you want the "Contact seller" in your own ads? Are you planing to contact yourselve?:D

The Same Message as Before!! ;)

As you can see, none of what you reported, was a bug.

Ok!! But Your Should Consider Allowing Comunication With Potential Buyers!! I Would'nt Buy a Product Before Asking Some Questions First, ans Receiving Answers From the Seller, That's Logic!! :rolleyes:

vbFClassifieds, is an advanced version of Mary's mod. Its based on her code, we just added code to follow vB's prototype for security. Also Mary participate by 20% to our company (vBulletin Freelancers).

I Like More Some of the Features on Mary's Classifieds on vbClubs, but if in this Mod you Add the Opportunity for Costumers to Ask Questions and for Sellers tobe Able to Answer then, I Think Would be Great!! :rolleyes:


One More Thing: I think is Neccesary for a Costumer to be Able to Show Interest in Buying a Product Before Actually Buying It; when a Costumer Fills the Buy Form, is Redirected to Paypal in the Same Window, if the Costumer Don't Fill the Paypal Form and make the Payment, Not even the Interest in Buying the Product will be Shared to the Seller; I think that By Adding the Possibility to Comment the Product by Potential Buyers and the Sellers, would Fill that Requirement!! ;) :confused:

I Think also that If Possible, the Paypal Buy Form should be Oppened in a New Window; perhaps add that Option in the Mod Options (Yes/No Open Paypal Form In New Window?)!! ;) :confused:

One More Thing: Would be Great to Be Able to Confirm the Sell Manually (additional to the Automatic Paypal Confirmation for Premium Accounts), so that if a Sell is Made and Confirmed, I as Seller can Confirm the Sell by Clicking the Unconfirmed Sell and Confirming it, and after a Time of No Confirmation simply Delete it!! (See the Cybernetec Paypal Donations to see how this Idea Works)!! ;) :confused:

I think the Intention to Buy Should be Reported, as well as Confirmed Manually by the Seller or Autatically by Paypal!! ;) :confused:

My Best Regards!! ;)

I think that you've misunderstood something. Olympic didn't wrote that there are no "Buy it" and "Contact seller" options. He wrote that you can't see them, as you're the owner of the Ad. Potential buyers (and everybody except you) can see these options, so they can contact (PM) you and of course they can buy your items.

For the other, it's Olympic's responsibility to reply.

Thanks!! ;)

But I Think Must of the Questions and Answers should be Made In Public, Not Only Via PM, so that The Answers I Give to one Buyer can Serve to Other One and I Don't Get Many Same Questions!! ;) :rolleyes:

It's like in E-bay, You're able to Ask the Seller Questions, if You're Satisfied You Boy otherwise You Don't!! And Some Answers made to other Potential Buyers may Serve Me to Clarify About the Product!! This Along with the Reviews and Opinions of other Buyers can Help Me Make My Decision if Buying that Item from the Seller!! ;) :rolleyes:

I Think That Functionallity is Essencial!! ;) :rolleyes: :confused:

Is the seller's PayPal account a Premium or Business? Personal account are not supporting by PayPal for IPN (Instant Payment Notification).
Is IPN activated in your (sellers) PayPal account?

yes - it's a premium account? I will check on IPN.

[GoTTi]

why is this in the admin part of this mod?

PayPal email address
What is you PayPal merchant account email address?



what is that needed for?

error when i went to delete a ad as a regular user:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_no_permissions() in /home/SITE/public_html/forums/vbfclassifieds.php on line 672

This is so awesome, it is a shame i purchased another script now lol

[jrwap]

Issue... or maybe not....

If I upload a picture and dont like it when the ad is published... so I edit the ad and upload a new picture, but the old picture is still there.

Is this a bug or simply a feature thats not present in the free version?

Read the first post in this thread. It says the differencies between Lite and Commercial.

I will definately needs this for my site but I will wait for the commercial version to launch for 3.6.8

[Spinball]

How are the custom fields handled? If, for example, we wanted a tickbox 'I agree to the trading rules at...' and we wanted the user to tick this box before the advert would be accepted - is this possible?

[steadicamop]

I have a couple of queries on this one.

Is there any way to allow the user's style to be kept instead of forcing them to use the one I select? Is there any way of putting new adverts somewhere on the forumhome?

Thanks

Jason

[vbFreelancers]

I'll check it with someone more professional in vbstyles, but I believe that it can be done.

Is there any way of putting new adverts somewhere on the forumhome?

Sorry if I'll disappoint you on this issue, put we're trying to avoid dealing with forumhome to keep compatibility with any vb upgrade. But we plan to code Blocks for use with vBa CMPS.

[S7rik3R]

Hello,

I went to visit your site on vbfclassified but is that the lite version of this or commercial version?And what does vbdigishop do ?

Hi Olympic,

thanks for the mod, installed :)


Uploaded images are not shown :(

chmoded is 777 (like in readme.txt) but when i upload/save a picture it is stored with

-rw------- and thats the problem.

Apache seems not to be the owner.
umask returns 0022

What can be wrong :confused:

oops wrong Forum :o shoud go to 3.7 Mods sorry

Hello,

Do you've Plesk as your site's CP? I'm not guru on issues like this, that's why I transfered your post to Olympic, but I know that something similar appeared 2-3 times with vbNews and in all issues the common was Plesk CP. For some reason after upload the images are getting 600 or 640 instead of 644.

But it's something that can be resolve by adding a line just after the "copy images" from tmp dir to final location. CMOD 644. But please wait to get a more specific reply from Olympic.

Marina

[cdi320]

that was fast :)

No i don't have plesk...

and i can not tell if this a server issue is, because some scripts works and some not (Coppermine, PHPBB set the right rights, Photoplog, Zoom-Joomla not).

I 'll wait for Olympic

Thanks Marina :)

[vbFreelancers]

Hello,

I went to visit your site on vbfclassified but is that the lite version of this or commercial version?And what does vbdigishop do ?

In our site (which is under reconstruction) you can find only demos of the commercial mods.

vbDigiShop is a Shopping Cart (vB mod) for selling downloadable products (eg software, templates, photos, videoclips etc). It has been also used by our customers for selling tangible ites, even if it dosen't supports shipping and tax.

[vNew]

Hi, Marina & Chris:

vBFClassified looks superb and I am quite willing to buy it right away if it will work with vBCredits.

vBCredits is a great points system that is FREE and available on vBulletin.org. It is currently the best credits/points system available on vBulletin.org. Please download and install vBCredits to appreciate its power. No, I am not its author, just a happy user.

I've installed vBCredits which users of my forum can earn credits/points for various activities. I would like them to be able to use those credits/points, as an alternative to paying cash, to pay for their classified listings and also to buy goods and services advertised on vBFClassified.

Is this interfacing with vBCredits possible and easy to do? The vBClassified (a different, competing product to vBFClassified) already has the ability to work with vBCredits. However, if you will provide that ability also, you know you've a new customer, and very likely many more to follow, for your commercial version. I think the best implementation is to have a switch in the Admin Control Panel that can be turned on to [optionally] use the credits/points of vBCredits.

May be you guys can get in touch with the author(s) of vBCredits and cooperate? I think it can only be a win-win situation for both sides. With the interface, vBulletin owners using vBCredits will very likely choose vBFClassified for their classified needs.

I was wondering if it is possible to put some classified within a thread, at a special location at the home page, etc.

In other words, it would be nice to be able to position premium ads in special locations. Of course, one would want be able to set special advertising rates for such ads.

Possible? Coming feature? If it is to be available in the commercial version only, I don't mind. I plan on ordering the commercial version anyway.

How are the custom fields handled? If, for example, we wanted a tickbox 'I agree to the trading rules at...' and we wanted the user to tick this box before the advert would be accepted - is this possible?
Hello, did you miss my question?

[vbFreelancers]

Hello, did you miss my question?

Features of custom fields have been extended in our newest vbFEngine including the function that you asked for (set a field required). After the release of the commercial version of vbFEngine on the mid of this week, we'll upgrade vbFClassifieds with the new features for custom fields.

[vNew]

NO RESPONSE?!

If vBF does not plan to interface vBFClassified with vBCredits, please at least say so. That way I, and others, don't have to be kept wondering or waiting, but can get vBClassified instead.

Hi, Marina & Chris:

vBFClassified looks superb and I am quite willing to buy it right away if it will work with vBCredits.

vBCredits is a great points system that is FREE and available on vBulletin.org. It is currently the best credits/points system available on vBulletin.org. Please download and install vBCredits to appreciate its power. No, I am not its author, just a happy user.

I've installed vBCredits which users of my forum can earn credits/points for various activities. I would like them to be able to use those credits/points, as an alternative to paying cash, to pay for their classified listings and also to buy goods and services advertised on vBFClassified.

Is this interfacing with vBCredits possible and easy to do? The vBClassified (a different, competing product to vBFClassified) already has the ability to work with vBCredits. However, if you will provide that ability also, you know you've a new customer, and very likely many more to follow, for your commercial version. I think the best implementation is to have a switch in the Admin Control Panel that can be turned on to [optionally] use the credits/points of vBCredits.

Have patience and be sure that you'll get a reply even negative. But if you're in rush to decide right now which mod to buy, then, as you wrote, your only choice is vbClassified as they've this feature ready. Even if we decide to include this feature, it will not be ready before a month or so.

If it is a month or so, I think I can wait. Can I assume that you do plan to interface with vBCredits [as that's the key issue]?

In fact, if you do, consider you've got a sale. I offer to beta test it too. I am familiar with vBCredits and have it already installed on my forum.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm in the market for a Classified section so what's the difference between this and vbClassified?

I'm in the market for a Classified section so what's the difference between this and vbClassified?

I think that this is something that the end user has to check and then to decide which of them best fits on his special needs. Except if you believe that all those "Compare our super script with the others", have even a point of honesty.

We're not copying the features of other similar mods, we're developing our mods according to the features that we believe that are important for the end users and then we're upgrading them according to our clients suggestions.

Really I don't know what features vbClassifieds has.

[Olympic]

If it is a month or so, I think I can wait. Can I assume that you do plan to interface with vBCredits [as that's the key issue]?

In the next few days, we'll check the way that vBCredits works and if we find it useful, then we'll implement it to our vbFClassifieds, vbFEngine and maybe to vbFDating.

Hello,

An updated version 1.0.1 of vbFClassifieds has been released. New version fixes:

Bug when a user is trying to pay for an item, where instead of the seller's PayPal email, the admin's email was appeared for payment. Thanks to JamesC70
Wrong coding. Buy it option was hidden if the price was 0. This way it was impossible to a buyer to buy an item from a seller who don't accept PayPal.
Bug. Now the Delete photo appear under the photo, so you can replace the original image.To upgrade:

Upload vbfclassifieds.php
Re-import product-vbfclassifieds.xml (don't forget to check the overwrite option).Please note that this version dosen't includes any feature request. This will be an upcoming upgrade.

Regards
Chris

Did you forget to mention that the lite version does not support pictures? or am I doing something wrong?

I got the following message

Hello,

Today I did a search in the web and I really became disappointed (to avoid say upset). It's not the fact that I found much more installations than those showing here, but:

1.- I found installations having removed my copyright link
2.- I found installations having modified copyright by showing the text but removed the link to my site
3.- Worst of all I found it published in sites similar to vbulletin.org without my permission.

Please note that are not all sites having done this, but its a big percentage. All above actions are illegal and against my copyright rules. If someone wants to remove our copyright, he can do it by visiting our site and pay for Brand Free version.

But all those who have publish our mod for download, they must remove it at once. They don't have permission to do something like this.

Thank you
Chris

[J599D09D52F5]

This is a great Mod!

I do have some questions and problems. I did set the "Maximum amount of uploaded photos?" to 5 but when I create a new classified I can only upload one (the selected) picture. How can I upload the other 4 that they show on the classified?

I manage to only create one subcategory. Is it possible to create a subcategory within a subcategory, for example (car-sale-Honda, car-rent-Honda)?

Thanks in advance!

Currently the amount a photos allowed goes in total of photos in all your Ads and not by Ad. But I'm thinking to change it.

[DrKNickel]

I am posting this here, too :)

I really need the following two options:

-Adding a field for shipping
-Adding an additional payment method like bank transfer - an option like "Send bank details to Buyer" that after a purchase the buyer gets the bank details from the seller

Is this possible?

Thanks :)

I don't think that this is the right place to talk for vbFDating. Not only because it's a different mod, but also because it will not have a Lite version.

[steadicamop]

For some reason, someone has posted a new classified ad, but it hasn't appeared - and it isn't available to be approved, but (I made a small mod to show the last 5 on the forum home) it shows on the index page - how can this be?

Most probably he didn't publiched it. By default the Ad is placing in draft, till the user to click "Publish it". After it goes to admin for approval (if any).

[vbFreelancers]

but (I made a small mod to show the last 5 on the forum home) it shows on the index page - how can this be?

Be sure to include in your custom query:

WHERE active=1 AND hidden=0 AND approved=1

[steadicamop]

Thanks - on both counts, as you suggested they hadn't published it, I checked in the database to find out!

I've also added the extra part to the query, that worked like a charm as I found until until they published their ad.

Thanks again for the prompt support :)

[Rich]

I just attempted to run this on vBulletin 3.7 beta 4 and it doesn't seem to work. The fields for a new ad are displaying a '1" in them and when I attempt to add a test ad, it says I don't have permission. (Yes, usergroup was set.) I will follow this to see if it evolves.

[parabat]

I seem to have a problem with the printing facility. When I try to print an ad, I get the following error. Any ideas please.

Jason, your little addon would be very helpful. Could you please let me have it :)

[Videx]

As you can see in the screenshots, we don't use forums/subforums interface. Rather we use category/subcategory listings.
If this is what did you meant, yes, you can have different price per Ad for any single category or subcategory.
To setup subcategories, first you must setup categories and then, on the drop list on the right of the category's name, choose "Edit Subcategories".Maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious, but after reading 8 pages of comments I see no instructions anywhere about how to add categories! It's not even mentioned at all in the instructions in the initial post. The instructions in the zip file says a bit more:Step 2: Setup the categories and/or subcategories. But gives no indication how.

The only odd thing I see in the screenshots is a "New Extra Field" box but there's no indication this has anything to do with vbfclassifieds or how to get to it.

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

Edit: Currently missing from the instructions is the not-so-trivial requirement to refresh your admin cp after importing the product. Then you'll find a new group on the left "vbFClassifieds", which includes Categories.

[Videx]

Now that I can actually test things, I also seem to be missing any kind of automatic expiration for ads.? Shouldn't this be a Category setting?

[aamirkhj]

Hi I have just tried to install this mod but there are no instructions where to upload vbFClassifiedlite folder by using ftp, I uploaded all in the root directory of the site first and then inside the forum directory but cannot see any thing change in ACP on both occasions.

The only instruction to upload the folder is "Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed"

Can some one please help me to where I should upload the vbFClassifiedlite via ftp, any help will be much appreciated.

Regards

Aamir

[Videx]

Depending on your FTP program, go inside the vbFClassified's vbulletin folder and select all. Drag and drop them onto your /forums/ folder on your server.

You can verify afterwards that the file in vbulletin/admincp/ really went into /forums/admincp/ on your server.

When upgrading, you'll have to allow all to overwrite.

[aamirkhj]

Thanks Videx let me check so you mean I should upload folder in to their respective folders inside VB folders for example admincp of vbFClassified' should go in to VB forum, let me try and thanks for your assistance.

[aamirkhj]

Ok it is fix now thanks for helping me out.

[Rideharder]

Step 7: By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbfclassifieds, so you need to
give permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and
edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
*** IMPORTANT ***
If you don't give to Guest at least "can use" permissions, then they must NOT be
able to see the links (Tell a Friend function).

I still do not have permission to use it..

I dont know why all is set..

After installing the "lite" version I found the # of fields available inadequate and "upgraded" for $50.00 to the "pro" version WHICH DOESN'T WORK. This company has no tech support number to call and has not gotten back to me via email.

Worse, one of the php files sent along with the purchased version is obviously corrupted- the paid version has no chance of working.

In case anybody is wondering for an update, I've been waiting days for a response from this company regarding my problem and they have not helped me. If the free version works for you then great, but certainly don't spend money on the "enhanced" version.

I wish I would have looked at their "help" forum and saw the unanswered pleas from weeks ago from users who bought this program only to discover a different problem, only the first page of ads are shown (with no fix).

While I did not receive any useful tech support from this company I did receive a silent refund. Since it was frustrating to lose an ENTIRE DAY trying to make their defunct software work the refund leaves me feeling bittersweet at the best.

Conclusion: Part-time coders capable of producing freeware mods as they develop their skills and resumes, but not yet enough talent or business sense to fill the shoes they're trying to wear. At this stage they should be asking for donations, not trying to sell buggy, unsupported software.

I just installed, thanks! I have a couple of questions that I don't see any options to change these.

1. Is it possible to put an automatic expiry date for different catagories/subcatagories?
2. Is it possible to disable posting ads in catagories and only allow postings in subcatagories? If I have one catagory as for sale and another wanted and within each catagory I have a number of areas to post in, I don't want anyone to post in the main catagory now do I.
3. If the main usersgroup is not allowed to upload images, will users be able to upload pics with their ads?
