Classifieds: Mark Thread as "Sold"

[venom2124]

If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, and consider Nominate for MOTM and Support Developer << :)


What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Sold". It will add the prefix "SOLD" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread. If you run a classified forum for your members this will give you a way to let users add a Sold prefix when the item is gone. Admins and mods can using to make items sold as well.

This is a modification of code provided by Eric (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=142777).

Current Version

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.

[BlackJacket]

Awesome mod! I do have a request though. Could the member who started the thread have the option to mark it as sold as well?

[venom2124]

The member who started the post does have the ability to mark the item as sold already. As long as the permissions are set correctly only a admin or mod and the user can make an item sold or unsold.

I just tested with a normal registered user profile and it allowed me to make a thread I created as sold or unsold, but didn't let me change the status of another members thread.

Hope this clears up the issue if not let me know.

[QuickQuestion]

This is good stuff.

[venom2124]

Yeah being able to see if an item in our classifieds section is already sold before clicking on it makes it really nice for sure.

[BadgerDog]

Interesting ... :)

We already use WTS and WTB and WTT prefixes (Want to Sell, Want to Buy, Want to Trade) in our on-line sales forums.

Will this mod simply replace those existing prefixes with SOLD if the seller (or buyer) thread starter marks his thread as SOLD, or does it place the word SOLD in front of the existing prefixes?

Regards,
Doug

[venom2124]

Yes once the item is sold and the member or mod marks it as sold it will replace the previous prefix with the sold prefix.

I would say take a look at my sight but right now I have the classifieds section invisible to non members.

Thanks... appreciate the quick response ... :up:

Excellent idea ...

We operate two separate forums for our members that could use this, so I think I'll try some testing ....

Doug

[BadgerDog]

Installed on vbulletin 4.04 .. :)

I think you have a problem with the bitfield used for UserGroups? (see pic)

As an example, the way you mod appears to our Registered Group under UserGroup settings is only YES/NO... there's no description or title? :confused:

Regards,
Doug

Edit: also missing from Prefix area .. ;)

[BadgerDog]

Also, just tested using my own Administrator login and attempted to mark an ad as SOLD belonging to another member ....

The Mark as SOLD option appears in the drop down box, but when I click on it, I received a "No Permissions error ...."

Yes, I have the Usergroup box for Admins checked to YES ... ;)

I thought Admins could do this, or have I missed something in the instructions? :confused:

I'm currently using 4.1.2, but if you want to pm me the site and a temp admin password I can take a look and see if I can find the problem. Kind of new to development so would have to play around with the set up to see what's going on.

[venom2124]

Okay found a possible problem in the coding. Try the new zip file reload files and install product again overwriting the old product file.

[venom2124]

Okay problem is solved. Had some coding issue that have been resolved. Loaded on another site I admin on and working perfectly now.

If you have already loaded the files just reload the updated sold.php to your forum folder and it will work like a charm.

[MikeTrin]

i tried version 1.1 with vbulletin 4.0.4, couldn't get the permissions set correctly. I enabled the thread prefix for all groups, turn it on in the classified forums, enabled it for all user groups but would get a message that I don't have permission to mark a thread sold. even when i tried as site admin.

if you can think of anything that may help please let me know, i may mess with it later.

Upload the sold.php from version 1.2 and you'll be good to go.

Re-tested patched v1.2 with thanks against 4.04 vBulletin ...

ALL field titles and descriptions now appear correctly ... :up:

As an Admin, selected a random WTS (Want to Sell) post in or Buy/Sell forum, posted by another member. Clicked drop down box and selected "Mark as Sold". Worked correctly and post now displayed [SOLD] instead of the prefix WTS: :up:

As an Admin, selected the SAME WTS (Want to Sell) post in or Buy/Sell forum. Clicked drop down box and selected "Mark as Unsold". Worked correctly, however, the post no longer displays a prefix at all, when it should reverse itself and display the original prefix, in this case it would have been WTS: :confused:

Can this be addressed, or is going to be a design limitation as I don't know how tou would keep track of what the original prefix was, except perhaps not replacing it, but simply adding [SOLD] in front of the original prefix?

Good job overall so far ... :up:

Regards,
Doug

Edit: Also, where can the phrase [SOLD] be changed so that it appears in a color of our choosing?

Yeah I'll have to see if there is a way to get the old prefix back, but again kind of new to this whole thing so that might be the only real downfall.

I can't really see too many items getting unsold if the user marks them sold after they are sold. It might be a bigger issue if you were working with a sale pending type deal.

Will still see if it can be done though.

Glad it's working for you now though for sure.

And yes you can modify the [Sold] by going to the thread prefix manager then select edit for The sold prefix. There you will see the plain text and rich text boxes. You can change the Plain text to Just Sold and then you can add HTML code to the rich text box to change the color, add bold, or just set it up how you would like.

Sorry for what may be a simple question to what is possibly a very simple answer. How can I change the color and add BOLD to the SOLD prefix?

Great little mod by the way ;)

Same question here, can't figure it out....please help. :D
Other than that, awesome mod, 5 star and marked installed.

[venom2124]

Go to the Thread Prefix Manager in the AdminCp

Then where you see the SOLD thread prefix click Edit

This will take you to the screen you need to edit the rich text to make it appear how you would like on the forum.

Here is a picture of the screen and the code changes I made for my site.

Thanks venom!


Your welcome. Hope it works out well for you.

[Shootsteel]

Just curious, are you planning on doing any other versions of this mod? As in WTS [want to sell], WTB [want to buy], LTT [looking to trade]?

Or if you know of other mods for these specific things and could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated!!

Thanks again for this great little mod, marked as installed and it's on my live site :)

I find that just adding the prefixes for those choices is easier and gives the user the ability to choose when they are posting there ads works best. I can't really see how changing the current mod would work out for what you are asking. Since this mod is more developed to give the user the ability to change the prefix after the fact to change it to sold. Now if you are not sure how to set up prefixes let me know and I can try and give you an overview on how to set it up.

Now if people need something different for after the fact changes I can probably see about working with them to make it happen.

[Shootsteel]

Ahh I see how it goes now. I got it all figured now.....again, lol.

[your24hourstore]

tested this and found the uninstall blew up, the xml must have a problem in that area.
also I couldn't get the post to close automatically. I dont want to give the whole board control to close threads , just the classifieds category

[Shootsteel]

As far as the uninstall, can't help ya there as I have not uninstalled the product yet, :\

For the thread to close automatically after you want to set a thread as sold, then it must be done by "Thread Tools -> Mark this thread as sold..." option NOT by editing the post and changing the prefix to SOLD, at least as far as I'm aware.

You can choose what sections of your board will have the SOLD [close] option.

Thread Prefixes -> Thread Prefix Manager -> up where it says "sold thread" all the way to the right, after [Add Prefix] click on "edit" and choose the categories you want to use this mod.

[venom2124]

tested this and found the uninstall blew up, the xml must have a problem in that area.
also I couldn't get the post to close automatically. I dont want to give the whole board control to close threads , just the classifieds category

Not sure what the issue is with the uninstall since I could not duplicate it when I uninstalled the product on my board. So I'm not sure where to start with helping you with that issue.

As for closing the thread automatically, like the post above says you have to set it to that option for that feature to work. That is under the options-->Mark as Sold.

If you have screen shots of what the issue was during the uninstall I might be able to help. Also what version of the product did you have installed?

I would suggest trying to up load the current files and product file allowing for overwrite of previous files and see if that fixes the issue.

[venom2124]

Venom Just sent you a PM.. hope you will have time to check it! Thanks!

Still taking a look at coding to see if I can help with your request.

[your24hourstore]

I see you logged in . unfortunately I didn't have a good backup so had to reinstall the whole board, so not sure what mod was conflicting, it really doesnt matter as it just a test site for mods and features, reinstalled it and seems to be all good, except that i cant figure out how to get them to close after changing the prefix to sold.

[your24hourstore]

I set the settings to auto close in the settings options in admincp

see! :{ after i change the prefix still open to reply oh 4.1.2 is the version

I feel this is a worthwhile mod to develop has a lot of possibility,

i think i have all the settings set to auto close but just not doing it for me.
since you made an account log in and make a n ad then mark it sold :} with the user permissions i have enabled if you have time later.
added:
OK I'm sure its not working in this new version its all installed and prefix selection works manually on post and edit,

but the thread drop down control does not have the option to mark as sold, and I don't see any screens showing you giving the users permission to close a thread.

here is the thread control screen of my install, so i guess the prefix options are working but don't seem to be using any outside files I uploaded from the install zip like sold.php

<vb:if condition="$show['addpoll']">
<li><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}poll.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newpoll&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase add_a_poll_to_this_thread}&hellip;</a></li>
</vb:if> this is the vb if condition in the new version


changed your show template code to match the new version and it works now


<vb:if condition="$show['soldthread']">
<li><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}sold.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=marksold&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase soldthread_marksold}&hellip;</a></li>

:up: OK its fixed with the New showthread code i posted just make a new version update and use this new code seems to work with 4.1.2 now

rated excellent and nominated :

[venom2124]

Glad you got it working, but not sure what coding you were changing. I've installed this on two seperate boards with 4.1.2 and it worked like a charm on both. I'm almost thinking you didn't make the template mod or something, but again I'm just not sure.

[your24hourstore]

yes not sure what the heck was going on but I know for sure that the edit code you have showing is not whats in version 4.1.2 :)

the code i posted here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2179128&postcount=35 has the code that is in this new version 4.1.2, its easy to see its not what you have posted at the top of this page. seems to work great though with this changed code for me. if for some reason it doesn't work for new installs im sure this code does work because that's what is in my show thread npw. so it does work

[your24hourstore]

this mod rocks by the way I'm really liking it and plan to install it for a few people now
I would like it to show the prefix in the recent thread mods for cms widget that would be super. now it doesn't show the prefix in the recent threads or recent posts

[your24hourstore]

lol this is driving me nuts im going to try your code again and see if it works.
this new code doesn't refresh the show thread at the forum level. works everywhere else probably in the php

[venom2124]

[your24hourstore]

ok so It updates the forum level if i use the edit button to change the prefix to sold, but if i use the thread moderators option it does mark it sold but doesn't update it at the forum level? and that using your showthread code and mine WTF :)

ok i will give your account admin sec

Not sure what's wrong. Installed on vb 4.1.2 but when I test with a non-admin test account there are no prefixes selections available to mark a post SOLD. I've enabled every permission that I can think of but must be missing something somewhere :(

Have you selected the forums you want it to work on?

Also when you tested it was the thread created by the user id you were testing with? If it wasn't then it won't work since the user that created is the only one that can add the prefix. It would work with the admin since they have blanket permissions.

Does the prefix show up in the prefix's section in the admincp?

If so have you changed the user permissions in the prefix section?

[boodog]

Ok, I deleted the thread and started another one, and this time the Prefix option is working and enables SOLD. Not sure what I did but it's working :)

Really nice mod that fills a need for my forum. Thank you. Donation on the way.

[kingmotox]

is there anyway to change the SOLD prefix color?

[venom2124]

is there anyway to change the SOLD prefix color?

Yes you can change the color. AdminCP --> Thread Prefix Manager --> Click on edit

Once you get to that point you will see some html code in the RICH Text section. You can change the code as you need.

Hope that helps.

Congrats venom on a very nice hack.

The only catch here is that this hack is interfering with the 'autopm on moderation' hack.
Before installing this hack, when manually closing any topic, the author would be notified by PM via the 'autopm' hack. After installation, though, this hack is preventing the notification from happening. Not sure you can or want to do anything about it, but I'd just thought I'd let you know.

I can take a look at it and see if I can find the issue. Of course the mod is made for the user to mark there stuff sold and once marked sold it closes the thread. So it might be more annoying if the autoPM did work. Just a thought on my part. Haven't used the autopm hack so will have to look at the code on that one to see if I see something.

Hello all,

Is there a way to force a prefix in the forums used by soldthread ?

[venom2124]

Hello all,

Is there a way to force a prefix in the forums used by soldthread ?

What kind of prefix are you trying to force. You can force a prefix by setting the option in the ACP if you go to edit the forum. Of course that will require a prefix to post a new thread.

I hope that helps to answer the question if not give more detail and I'm sure we can help you figure it out.

[Dennis B]

Of course the mod is made for the user to mark there stuff sold and once marked sold it closes the thread. So it might be more annoying if the autoPM did work. Just a thought on my part.True if it's the user who closes their own thread, but if a mod closes it, it would be nice to keep the notification. Anyway thanks for the reply, and as I said before I just wanted to report the conflict, I might take a look at it myself as soon as I have some time, since I have both installed. :)

Thanks a lot, I think forcing will do just fine =) . I'm currently reinstalling this, could you be so kind to remind me where to edit who can mark as unsold? I know its there, but struggling in these late hours to put my finger on it.

ACP -> Thread Prefix Manager -> Edit Permissions

That will allow you to choose the user groups to give permissions to.

Then allow make sure that the mark sold is selected under the user groups.

ACP -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit user groups as required

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

I've got the prefixes all working great (using 5 of them) but I can't get "Mark as Sold" to show up in thread tools. I think perms all look ok, any suggestions?

Found the cause, but still working on the fix. It's a new style I've installed, when I revert to the Default Style, Mark as Sold shows up again.

** In comparing the page sources, the difference is that the new styles are not showing the following;

<li><a href="sold.php?do=marksold&amp;t=84">Mark this thread as sold&hellip;</a></li>

What mechanism is in place to include this that wouldn't be happening in the other styles?

Thanks!

[innova]

Fixed, SHOWTHREAD wasn't updated in each style.

Which version are you running? If you are running 4.1.4 I'll have to do some research since I have not tried to install on 4.1.4 at this point.

[venom2124]

Now that I have it working on all styles, I'd like to change SOLD to DONE, as we have multiple prefixes that SOLD doesn't apply to. So I'd like to just use DONE, and have one prefix for closing. I see you've done this in the past for some undisclosed donation, interested in what amount this was to see if it would be cost effective.

Thanks.

Let me look at the code but I should be able to do it fairly simply as for price all I ask if for a donation I don't set an amount. So what ever you think is fair. I'll look at it early next week and see should be able to convert it in a couple hours tops.

[axg]

I hate to ask this. I am drawing a blank, but i guess that comes with age. How do i make it bold and change the color of the SOLD?

Also, i have another forum just for Want to Buy, can i set a new prefix for this and have it work the same way, or is there more to it than just adding a prefix?

Hey thanks for looking, was able to get what I needed through "Phrases". Mod is great and fills a big need in my forum.

One small issue is that on forum.php, the last thread that was marked as Sold, is still showing the original prefix (WTS in my case). Any ideas?

4.1.3 is what shows on my forum.

Yeah I've installed and tested on 4.1.3 and it works fine. So if you need me to take a look and see about getting it right I can probably do that no problem as long as all the files have been upload it shouldn't take me that long at all to get it fixed up.

I was able to clear it by rebuilding thread/forum information. I'll let you know if it happens again.

Any reason to think 4.1.4 will break this?

I have no idea at this point. Planning on trying to load 4.1.4 this weekend on my test forum so I can test this product out, unless someone else tests it before I do.

[Masked Crusader]

Hey Venom. I also tried to install this on 4.1.4 and no luck.

http://www.maskedcrusader.com is my forum.

Looking forward to you figuring this one out as I need this mod badly for my forum :)

Thanks mate!

[Dennis B]

Hi Venom,

When you take a look at this hack and 4.1.4, and since this is meant for Classifieds, may I suggest a new feature that would auto-close the thread after a given time? Just an idea. :)

[CRDeveloper]

Very nice mod, how come i didnt saw it before :)

[wrang]

What do i do wrong. WHen i put it as sold the icon sold will not showd up or can i use a better icon and bigger so the outer realy see that its sold...

[venom2124]

Okay a little confused as to what you are asking or what is wrong. It sounds like you are trying to say the prefix is not showing up.

If you let me know what the site is I can try and take a look? But need more details on problem.

Hello thanks great mod. And it seems to be working ok for 4.14, but I was wondering is there anyway I can change the color for the prefix , I have a dark site so the text is also in a dark color, can we do something that can stick out like the color red or bright blue, I am not using the original template , thanks

sorry i see it works in differant color in the orginal template, i guess this opens a can of worms to get it to work with the new template

[venom2124]

Should be able to change the color by using HTML coding in the rich text section under edit in prefix's.

use this and the *Title (Rich Text)* that will make it red

<b><span style='color:#FF0000;'>[SOLD]</span></b>

[mrt12345]

Ok i feel so incompetent, I have been searching and searching for it I just can?t fine it in the searching. I really hate to ask but could you guys provide the steps for the search. Sometimes bang I fine it and other times I can?t fine anything lol:o

Searching for what?

AdminCP --> Thread Prefixes --> Thread Prefix Manager --> Then you'll see {EDIT} {DELETE] {EDIT PERMISSIONS] Across from SOLD, Click Edit

Next look for Title(Rich Text) In that box input <font color=Red><b>Sold</b></font> or you can change the font color to what ever you want and click save. Now the prefix will show what ever color you made it.

I hope that helps.

I double checked to make sure I have the SHOWTHREADS template modified too.

Did you make it so that each usergroup can use the tool? Also, did you go into each forum you want to use it and mark it as being able to be used (the Prefix that is)?

It was a bone-head mistake on my part. I already had a prefix set for my Classifieds section and moved the SOLD prefix to my Classifieds prefix set, thus it wouldn't show up in the Mark as Sold

Hi Venom2124,

I guess this is a remake of the Marked as solved mod. Unfortunately the mod is not developed anymore further, so question.

I have currently this mod for some year and is the mod used function on my site.
However i would to extend the feature to send out an e-mail to the topicstarter after setting the thread to Solved or in this case SOLD....

Do you know if this is possible? I am willing to pay for it :-)

Yeah I really would have no idea how to send an auto email out upon closing the thread. I can look into it and see, but my knowledge of the coding is limited. I basically just changed some of the wording in the original coding to get it to say sold as opposed to solved. I'm looking to get more experience with coding so this might be a good place to start. I will let you know.

[dsantana]

Most excellent mod Venom!!! Was a little tough on a VB rookie doing the edits but I made it through it... Installed on 4.1.11

tagged.install later;)

[WheelList]

Just installed on 4.1.11 and it's working great. Thanks!

[blazinchuck]

just installed on 4.1.12...working great! marked it too, good job

[Inferno Dragon]

So it allow only members to mark their own started topics as sold or anyone can mark other member topic as sold? sorry but I found the description kind of confusing :S

[bremereric]

I just installed it on 4.1.3 and I got it working the first time. I am a vb code newbie so could someone tell me how to change the color of the text Sold. Thanks in advance.

[CharlieDelta]

Change the color by adding a "Rich Text Title" in the "Thread Prefixes" of the admin CP.

This is what I use;
<font color="red"><b>[SOLD]</b></font>

[mustang02]

Nevermind. Reinstalled the xml, works on 4.2.0

[ScottishScoobie]

Just what i have been looking for.

Marked as Installed.

Kind of stuck though.

4.2.0 PL2

i can see everything and have set all permissions up but for the life of me i cannot get it to show in the drop down.

groups are set, forums are set, code was found and then dropped in under the poll, but the poll is the last thing on my list in the thread tools.

did the following.

1. Uploaded the sold.php to my public_html folder (root of my site)
2. Uploaded the image and xml to the instructions location
3. imported
4. found code in SHOWTHREAD as per the attached txt
5. set options/permissions/prefix

went to one of my created for sale threads where i know the mod is set to work. shows as a prefix if i edit first post. but just wont show in thread tools.

sorry for the book, but i guess i need to give you everything if im going to ask for support. and upon working i will return by showing developer support.:up:

[CharlieDelta]

Are you sure that you edited the "showthread" template in all your custom styles?

[Superorb]

Is it possible to put a button or something more visible so the users don't miss the "mark as read" link in the dropdown? Something that isn't in a dropdown.

[ScottishScoobie]

Are you sure that you edited the "showthread" template in all your custom styles?

Yeah, i only have one style and the extract is from that. i will add the code to all styles even though im not using them and report back.

How to uninstall it?

[ScottishScoobie]

i would disable rather than uninstall, ive read all pages, and people were saying uninstall meant rebuild unless you have a good backup. nice susat too.

[ScottishScoobie]

Done nothing more than wait, and now its working.

voted for MOTM

[zascok]

I think I have got it. If one deletes the prefix manually and then try to uninstall this it will cause an error. I manually recreate the prefix and it unistalled just fine. (worth adding into the desrtiption) N

Now will try to install and wait

[zascok]

And now it works! waited for two or three minutes. Was witchcraft a part of programming? ;)

Nommed in hope the next versions will have no hassle :)

[Superorb]

When I mark something as "unsold" the previous prefix isn't restored. Is there any way to add this functionality?

[ScottishScoobie]

i guess in the days of cable speed internet and SSD's we are just impatient to let systems get on and do their thing and settle down.

[addamroy]

I don't see any option to mark threads sold in the 'thread tools' menu... uploaded all files and made the template edit.

running 4.1.12

[Sven Voet]

Nice Mod. With some changes (i want a "closed" instead a "sold" as Prefix, it´s what i´m looking for a long time. But one question (perhaps for another Version):

- Is it possible, to add more than one one "Sold" as chooseable Prefix? Perhaps so the User can easyly choose a wanted Prefix in the Thread Tools.

- Is it possible to prevent the Prefix from the normal Prefix-List when a User Post a new Thread?

[Sven Voet]

I got two errors, if i wanna install the Mod:

after changing the Showthread Code, i got the following Message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpexted T_STRING in ...../includes/adminfunctions_template.php(5432) : eval()'d code on Line 373

When i ignore the warning, i can´t read any Thread. Cause the following error occures:

Yeah true.

See if i mark a post as sold and then unsold is it meant to put the For Sale tag back on as it doesn't set any tag once its marked unsold again

There is no Un-Sold Tag, if it doesn't say Sold, its still available. lol

Love this mod! Question:
We have "Mark as sold" working great, we tried to add a "mark as Found", and it does not appear in the drop down for standard users to use. Only mods can use it once they hit "Edit thread". Is there any way to correct this so the user can also mark as found?
