vBulletin classifieds mod from Panjo

[Panjo]

As of September 2015, the Panjo marketplace mod for vBulletin has been completely rearchitected.

You can learn more about the latest version of the mod on Panjo's vBulletin partner page (http://www.panjo.com/partners).

This mod enables you to launch a peer-to-peer community marketplace that is integrated into your vBulletin forum.

Here is how it works:
1) Install the plugin.
2) Customize the categories you want in your marketplace.
3) Contact Chad at Panjo (http://www.panjo.com/about#team): chad@panjo.com to activate your marketplace.
4) When a seller goes to a new or old subforum dedicated to buying/selling/trading, and clicks on the "post new thread" button, the mod will load a listing creation form.
5) The seller will create a listing. The listing will appear in the marketplace. A synchronized copy of the listing will appear in the appropriate buy/sell/trade subforum.

Is this plugin free?
Yes, this plugin is free.

Can you make money with this plugin?
Yes, you can optionally use this plugin to generate marketplace transaction revenue.

How is it with mobile?
The marketplace loads with layouts that are optimized for high res desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Examples:
Porsche Marketplace (http://www.panjo.com/p/planet9) <syncs with> Porsche classifieds subforum (http://www.planet-9.com/planet-9-classifieds/)
BMW Marketplace (http://www.panjo.com/p/bimmerforums) <syncs with> BMW classifieds subforums (http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?174-BMW-Classifieds)
Audi Marketplace (http://www.panjo.com/p/audizine) <syncs with> Audi classifieds subforums (http://www.audizine.com/forum/forumdisplay.php/110-Classifieds-Quick-Links)
Belly dancing marketplace (http://www.panjo.com/p/bhuz) <syncs with> Belly dancing classifieds subforums (http://www.bhuz.com/bellydance-swap-meet/)

didn't Enthusify changed the name to panjo???

Apparently so. And somehow got the old 4.x thread deleted, and this new one started. Weird.

What are the terms of revenue share? Are forums at the mercy of your servers being fast/reliable and up for years to come? How is the content presented to the browser -- as an iframe (bad for seo) or some other method?

Thanks for these great questions.

At present, the plugin supports a 'final value fee.' If you had a final value fee of 1% and a seller sold an item for $100, you would get $1. You can customize the final value fee on a usergroup by usergroup-basis. Support for optional listing fees and promotional fees is coming soon.

When a seller creates a listing using this vBulletin marketplace plugin, the plugin creates a thread post with the information. This has the following impacts:
1) Listings show up in today's posts
2) Search engines index the thread post
3) You have a local copy of the listing
4) The thread post is synchronized with the plugin. When the item sells, the listing updates to 'sold' status.
5) If you ever want to discontinue use of the plugin, you can do so while retaining the legacy content.

Which currency can this plugin support?

How much does Panjo charge the seller for each transaction?

How much can the forum gain for each transaction?

Are this classified database and images (uploaded by members) hosted by Panjo's server?

How heavy is this plugin adding to the server load?

How trustable is Panjo in handling the money paid by buyers and give to sellers? What if Panjo takes the money and run away, will the forum has to be responsible for such incident?

> As of today, just US dollars. ($) Support for more currencies is coming soon.

How much does Panjo charge the seller for each transaction?

> If a seller optionally chooses to use Panjo to collect, verify, and transfer the buyer's payment, Panjo charges a flat 3%.

How much can the forum gain for each transaction?

> The forum can set its own final value fee for each transaction on top of the flat 3%. That rate is up to the forum. The forum can charge different rates to different user groups.

Are this classified database and images (uploaded by members) hosted by Panjo's server?

> Panjo posts a thread for each listing into your forum so you have a local copy of the content.

How heavy is this plugin adding to the server load?

> Due to the cloud hosted nature of the transactional aspects of the plugin, there is effectively no server load burden.

We are very excited to introduce Panjo 4.2.2. The latest version of Panjo offers a self service setup dashboard. It also provides admins with more self service tools and reporting.

You still haven't answered the Enthusify question, above. For an entity that wants to enter into a financial relationship with forum owners, transparency in this regard is vital to earn the trust needed to do so. Are you the same company? Have you changed your name; if so why, and why does your post not make that clear? If not, is this a copy of the Enthusify software, and how are you able to replicate it?

You're asking for royalty based financial arrangement. Secrecy cannot be a part of that. It worries me that you evaded questions as basic as your identity.

[lapiervb]

How about some screenshots as is common when posting a mod.......

Morrus - in response to your question, we added a section to the description above referencing the history of the brand. Here it is for your reference, "Panjo was previously known as Enthusify. The old Enthusify plugin download pages at vBulletin.org have lots of outdated information. Panjo ditched the name Enthusify because it was too much of a mouthful and too hard to pronounce."

There is tons of info about us at Panjo.com. You can find the LinkedIn profiles of the team at Panjo.com too. http://panjo.com/Contact You can call us by phone or skype with us via video chat. We are highly transparent. Thanks for your interest in our work.

Hello, what happens if this is used and then it is decided for whatever reason to delete it? The items that were for sale (and now posts) remain but the rest of the addon uninstalls clearly?
(request for testing has been emailed)
Thanks!

If you use this plugin and later decide to delete it, you retain the legacy listings in 'thread post' format.

Yes, the items that were for sale remain as thread posts and the rest of the addon uninstalls cleanly.

I did not get answers my questions (above) from months ago. I have viewed the html source code for your demo sites, and the classifieds system unfortunately uses iframes for practically everything. While I think you have excellent software, this makes the classifieds section invisible to search engines. I understand it creates a thread in the forum, which is a good idea, but it is not a replacement for a user being able to search google and go directly to the classifieds system. With your setup, all users searching google for an item would always end up at the duplicate forum thread instead of the actual classified ad. I wish the system let our servers grab the data off your servers and throw up the html directly, rather than using iframes.

More questions from above: What happens if someone posting an ad edits their ad or chagnes a price/etc? Does the duplicate forum thread get updated or does it become out of sync with the ad? What about when it sells, does the thread created have [SOLD] or something added to the title?

[dougdirac]

So apparently this mod got included as part of the vB4.2.2 update. Why is that? Will IB get a cut of sales now?

Can anyone here report their experience with this plug-in?

I didn't vote for this..and will probably never use it. Uninstall in fact.

[charlesr]

I'd like to hear vbulletin.org user feedback on this plugin too. It only has 7 installs prior to being included in vb4.2.2
It certainly seems promising.

[Videx]

Will IB get a cut of sales now?I googled up an interesting article (http://pandodaily.com/2013/07/23/panjo-gets-1-6m-to-tap-into-the-buying-power-of-enthusiast-communities/) about Panjo getting some venture capital last July. I imagine they just hired a lot of new sales people to help hit up all the forum and blog people, IB included.

The article says Panjo takes a cut of sales, but I take it that's an error? If I use this on my local forum and members pay each other directly, there is no fee to anyone.?

If so, there's really no downside and god knows we can really use an updated Classifieds section on our forum.

[dougdirac]

I'm having trouble with one of my other mods while trying to upgrade to vB4.2.2. Can I install the Panjo plugin on vB4.2.1 and then upgrade to 4.2.2 later (with the other mods are sorted) without any issues?

Doug - We spoke by phone yesterday. For the sake of the group I'll answer here too. Yes, you can install the Panjo plugin on vB4.2.1 and upgrade to 4.2.2 later. BUT - if you do that... there is a Panjo 'exporter' and 'importer' to bridge you from any earlier version of vB with Panjo to vB 4.2.2 with Panjo.

We don't agree with your SEO assessment... Most Panjo partners have a legacy subforum or subforums dedicated to items for sale. Google is accustomed to crawling and indexing those legacy subforums. Panjo creates thread posts for listings in those legacy subforum(s) so that Google can efficiently find, index, and credit them. The thread versions of the listings automatically update when listing information charges or when the item sells.

Example:
Here is the iFrame version of one of our partners, Planet-9 Porsche Marketplace (http://www.planet-9.com/classifieds.php).
Here is the corresponding subforum (http://www.planet-9.com/planet-9-classifieds/). By design, google indexes the subforum.


More questions from above: What happens if someone posting an ad edits their ad or chagnes a price/etc? Does the duplicate forum thread get updated or does it become out of sync with the ad? What about when it sells, does the thread created have [SOLD] or something added to the title?

The master listing is synchronized with the thread post version of the listing. When a listing sells, the thread gets a [SOLD] designation.

Thanks for these great questions.

IB does not get a cut of sales. As stated in the announcement about the Panjo-vBulletin partnership (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2013/10/vbulletin-partners-with-panjo-to-make.html): "Panjo is a unique platform that unlocks a new premium revenue stream for site owners," says John McGanty, General Manager at Internet Brands, the parent company of vBulletin. "By integrating Panjo into vBulletin, our customers can monetize their sites through commerce. The members who visit those sites benefit from newfound convenience and improved security."

If you need us to make intros to any current Panjo users, ping me, chad@panjo.com and I'll make some intros. If you scroll down this page, there are links to sites using Panjo (http://panjo.com/Partners).

Thanks for the kind words. I am not sure how active current Panjo partners are on vBulletin.org. Prior to the 4.2.2 partnership, Panjo was live on ~40 sites. Now, ~24 hours later, Panjo is live on ~80 sites.

Here are some examples:

We aren't spending the money on sales people. We are spending it on developers and support. We now have two backend developers, a visual designer/front end dev, a mobile developer, and three support people. Here is a picture of us:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/10/21.jpg

You are correct. If members pay each other directly, and you don't charge any fees, then members won't incur fees. We agree, "there's really no downside and god knows [sites] can really use an updated Classifieds section...."

The plugin is great now. We look forward to continuing to ship new features. You can find a history of updates and improvements on the Panjo blog (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/search/label/Panjo%20software%20update).

Before I install the mod, i just have a few questions --

If I understand your business model correctly, the module is free to install and use, but you take a % out of the transactions that close through the platform?

What if I have some classifieds that don't have monetary value -- free stuff that site members are giving away?

What if we have a listing where people don't want to close the transaction with a credit card? (ie, like a piece of equipment that's $90,000 -- it ain't going on their Visa. :) )

How do you handle those types of listings?

thanks!

I guess i'm trying to understand their business model -- conceivably one could use this module and never pay a cent, as long as you didn't use them to process the transaction?

[smirkley]

Ya,... another mod needing support.

[Morrus]

This does seem pretty cool. I don't know if my users will use it when eBay is just a click away and has a much larger userbase, but if it's included in 4.2.2 I might activate it for a while and see.

Here's a question - does the system handle delivery (download) of digital products (PDFs, or the like)? Having users sell digital products to each other for real money sounds pretty awesome.

[dougdirac]

Yeah, I actually think it looks pretty interesting and I'd like to try it out. Maybe those using it now can let me know if it's possible to try out on a live site in a way that will be invisible to normal users? (It didn't seem to want to register properly on my dev server.)

Anyone go through the details of the privacy policy or terms of service? I'm curious how much information Panjo collects and keeps. For example, does Panjo keep all buyer and seller contact info? Would Panjo ever try to sell that info to a 3rd party or directly try to advertise to my members via email or otherwise?

[Morrus]

I've activated it in 4.2.2 - though my test listing is the only one there right now.

Panjo asked for my email address when I first went to list an item (it didn't when I started to list a second item) and has a note saying it will only be used to notify you of activity on your listing, and will not be sold. It didn't ask for other info - address or anything - though it asked for a shipping country. So all it's got is an email addy and a description of an item, which seems fairly OK to me. If they start directly emailing my members other than that, I'll be surprised (and very pissed!)

(Oh, it asked for my PayPal account, too).

Not much else to report. Most folks selling stuff on my site simply link to eBay auctions, so I don't know if it'll get used.

One thing I don't like about it is that the page title is "Panjo Marketplace", not your own site's.

[Morrus]

As far as I can see, listings don't get mirrored in the associated forum (using the 4.2.2 included installation).

How do you handle those types of listings?

These questions are best answered with some context around the business model:

Panjo provides its classifieds plugin to you for free. You choose whether you want to monetize your classifieds. If you want to monetize your classifieds, you can charge final value fees (transactional fees). Support for listing fees and paid promotional options are coming soon. If you charge a final value fee, Panjo retains a portion of that fee.

Example: A seller lists an item for $100. A buyer purchases the item for $100. You charge a 1% final value fee. The seller will receive ~$96. There is a ~$3 (3%) payment processing fee, which is consistent with industry averages for credit card interchange fees. You will get $1.

If a buyer and seller don't want to close the transaction with a credit card, at present, they can do so for free.

If a seller wants to trade an item or list an item for $0, at present, he/she can do so without incurring an fees.

[Panjo]

I guess i'm trying to understand their business model -- conceivably one could use this module and never pay a cent, as long as you didn't use them to process the transaction?

True. Thus, it behoves us to make sure we are continually providing value and security to the buyer and seller that spurs use of the system.

Great question. This is a frequently requested feature. A 'digital locker' is on the product roadmap to better support digital goods.

[Panjo]

Yeah, I actually think it looks pretty interesting and I'd like to try it out. Maybe those using it now can let me know if it's possible to try out on a live site in a way that will be invisible to normal users? (It didn't seem to want to register properly on my dev server.)

Would Panjo ever try to sell that info to a 3rd party or directly try to advertise to my members via email or otherwise?

Doug - sorry for the delay in my reply. As I emailed over the weekend... Yes, you can install Panjo on your live site and hide it from members so that you can kick the tires. You can activate Panjo from within the admin CP. You can disconnect any and all links from the public site to Panjo in order to test it out.

Panjo keeps buyer and seller contact info. Panjo does not sell the info. Panjo plans to send its own 'marketing' emails. For example, a digest of items that might interest a buyer. However a member would be able to unsubscribe from any non transactional email. We haven't sent marketing emails to date. That is on our product roadmap. Members have requested 'what's new' and other similar email subscription options. Those emails would drive members to your site.

[Panjo]

I've activated it in 4.2.2 - though my test listing is the only one there right now.

Panjo asked for my email address when I first went to list an item (it didn't when I started to list a second item) and has a note saying it will only be used to notify you of activity on your listing, and will not be sold.

One thing I don't like about it is that the page title is "Panjo Marketplace", not your own site's.

We didn't use to ask a seller for his/her email. We used to rely on the email address on file with the seller's vBulletin account. We quickly learned that members often have old, bad, or unmonitored email addresses associated with their vBulletin forum credentials. As the marketplace was sending emails to sellers with information about their listing, like a question asked or the fact the listing sold, the sellers were not getting those emails. That is why we ask a seller for an email.

At present, we don't support modifying the page title. We have that on the product roadmap.

[Panjo]

As far as I can see, listings don't get mirrored in the associated forum (using the 4.2.2 included installation).

When a seller creates a listing using Panjo and assigns a category to the listing, you can direct Panjo to create a thread post in a designated subform based on the category the seller assigned to the listing. If that feature is not working for you, let us know. There could be a configuration issue.

Example: Listings created in the Panjo plugin on this Porsche community (http://www.planet-9.com/classifieds.php) create thread posts in this Porsche classifieds subforum (http://www.planet-9.com/planet-9-classifieds/).

Hmmm... I think the way it should work is that the fields would pre-populate with the info, but give the user the opportunity to edit it. Perhaps with a message conveying the importance of a current email address. The next time the forum member uses the service, it would again pre-populate, but with the email address he used last time.

Thomas was just out at lunch (pacific time). What is the question that you are awaiting an answer on? FYI - over 200 forum owners have spun up marketplaces in the last 48 hours. We are working as diligently as possible to answer everyone's questions as quickly as possible. You can try to skype another team member at: chadbillmyer

Once a seller submits his/her email the first time, we do pre populate going forward.

One of the devs were working with me via skype and said the problem would be fixed in 24 hours that was 48 to 72 hrs ago and no word if you need to see my forums just click on my sig. I told them to just update this mod as i have not updated to 4.2.2 yet still running 4.2.1 as I am waiting for dbtech to update some of the pro mods i am using

[ozzy47]

Force, all of them from DBTech should be updated, no new version number, just files patched.

[ForceHSS]

It does say some are hot fixed but I can't find a list of what ones have been

All of them have that had the php warnings. :)

Got a question for you.

Someone playfully clicked on the "Buy Now" button and completed the form but he has no real intention of buying the item.

In this case, the ad is then marked as "SOLD".

How can the advertiser/admin change the status back to normal?

Thanks.

[softsingapore]

Oh no! Something worse came up!

Now the ad can't be seen.

Thanks.

Panjo has the concept of a listing that exists in multiple quantities. In that case, no action is required unless the seller owes the buyer a refund.

If the seller listed 1 of something for sale and a buyer playfully purchased it with no intent to purchase, there isn't a shortcut for the seller to relist the item. At this time, the seller has to relist the item from scratch. And again, if the buyer actually paid, the seller would owe the buyer a refund.

Actually, I saw that issue this morning when browsing the bimmerforums marketplace (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/classifieds.php). Maybe 60% of the time when you'd click on a listing, the iframe would come back empty. So all you see is a mostly empty vB page with the forum ads. The rendering of the market place seemed a bit slow. Maybe more server resources need to be allocated.

I'm afraid that's pretty much instantly turned me off on the idea of using Panjo to replace our classifieds. Most especially the part about sellers needing to create a Panjo account!?!? WTF?

[Panjo]

...the part about sellers needing to create a Panjo account!?!? WTF?

First, it is important to note that to deliver the marketplace service, aspects of the marketplace are hosted. Due to the hosted nature of aspects of the service, buyers and sellers don't have to "create an account" so much as they have to "connect an account." Buyers and sellers don't need to create a new credential set. They simply need to connect their existing vBulletin account to the marketplace. Why? Here are two reasons...

1) The Panjo plugin helps facilitate the exchange of buyer and seller information in the case of a successful sale. Thus, buyers and sellers need to agree to terms and conditions related to the release of their contact information.

2) For sites using Panjo to generate revenue, the Panjo plugin is involved in the collection of fees. Sellers need to agree to terms related to fee collection.

That's a good idea. In the thread view, knowing something is "local pickup" doesn't actually add any useful information unless you also know the location.

[Gamelobby]

How much does Panjo charge the seller for each transaction?

> If a seller optionally chooses to use Panjo to collect, verify, and transfer the buyer's payment, Panjo charges a flat 3%.

How much can the forum gain for each transaction?

> The forum can set its own final value fee for each transaction on top of the flat 3%. That rate is up to the forum. The forum can charge different rates to different user groups.

Is that 3% on top of PayPal.? (or does Panjo circumvent PayPal)

[Videx]

That's a good idea. In the thread view, knowing something is "local pickup" doesn't actually add any useful information unless you also know the location.Or, in our case with a local forum, every ad would have that header. Nobody sells anything via mail order.

[compunerdy]

Some of this info is already outdated since they switched to PayPal.

I have been implementing this and have asked lots of questions, so here is how I understand it.
Panjo currently uses PayPal as the payment processor so the only fee the seller pays is the paypal fee's + and fees imposed by the forums. At this time the PayPal fees are immediately taken out and the seller get the price of the sold item minus paypal fee. What is a little hazy is when the forum owners get paid if they are charging a fee. As I understand it Panjo collects this separately and later from the seller to then pay the forum owners BUT they are working to have this all be part of the paypal system so that at the time of the sale the seller and the forum operator gets paid.

[dougdirac]

...BUT they are working to have this all be part of the paypal system so that at the time of the sale the seller and the forum operator gets paid.

This is really the way it has to be. The fee has to be up front and very transparent to the seller. It needs to come out of the proceeds of the sale before the it is paid.

As it is now, the seller is paid, then asked for some of that payment back after 30 days. When the seller posts his item for sale, notification of the forum transaction fee is in fine print using nebulous language.

"30 Days after your item sells, [Your Forum] will ask for a [X]% contribution."

To me, that makes the fee sound optional, and I can't really imagine my members wanting to pay a fee that comes a month after they're done with the transaction. I know I'd be annoyed.


Here's a stop-gap measure:

Panjo should instead charge the forum fee (as a separate transaction) at the time the item is purchased. That way the seller associates it with the sale and is just happy to get paid. You also know they have the money in their paypal account because they just got paid!

I don't mind if Panjo then waits a month to send me the fee. I'm more interested in the experience of my forum members.

[compunerdy]

I agree and I pointed out that it looks shady (the fine print) and also in order for this to work they really need to put the forum owners first since without them there is no point.

[dougdirac]

I posted how I think the seller payment details should look on vB.com here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-4/vbulletin-4-questions-problems-and-troubleshooting/4000365-panjo-in-4-2-2?p=4003765#post4003765

I'd have posted it directly in this thread, but vB.org doesn't support tables. (Though, if I had known how long it would take to get them to work in vB5 on vB.com I wouldn't have bothered.)

[compunerdy]

That is what I would like to see as well..

[Panjo]

Is that 3% on top of PayPal.? (or does Panjo circumvent PayPal)

Panjo recently switched from operating as its own PCI compliant payment processor to using PayPal as the payment processor. Now, sellers pay PayPal's standard 2.9% + $0.30 for successful transactions + any optional fee that you, the forum owner, charge.

[Panjo]

Or, in our case with a local forum, every ad would have that header. Nobody sells anything via mail order.

We are removing the 'local pickup' prefix today (10/28/13).

100% correct. Panjo is working on implementing "chained payments" right now. in the meantime, Panjo circles back to the seller post sale to collect any forum fees. Once chained payments are in place, Panjo will be able to collect all forum fees at the time of the sale.

[Panjo]

Panjo will release support for currencies next week. (the first week of November) All Panjo partners will automatically get the currency update. If you are seeking to use Panjo outside the US or your users primarily transact in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, you can install and configure Panjo (http://panjo.com/partners) and you will get the currency update next week.

[Panjo]

Panjo is pleased to announce the release of support for more currencies in its vBulletin classifieds mod (http://panjo.com/partners). The Panjo marketplace plugin now (or will shortly) supports: U.S. Dollar, Pound Sterling, Singapore Dollar, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, & the Euro.

Since in both of those errors, there is no username, I would guess that you left the file, classifieds.php in your forum root, and a bot may be hitting it. This is just a guess though.

Who is liable if a buyer pays, and a seller runs off with money?

[Panjo]

Who is liable if a buyer pays, and a seller runs off with money?

When a seller creates a listing, the seller verifies his identity via a PayPal API.

Panjo currently uses PayPal as its payment processing partner. Panjo optimized the selling and buying work flows to maximize protections for both buyers AND sellers (like protections from chargebacks).

When the buyer pays, the buyer is covered by PayPal's buyer protection. If the buyer pays and the seller disappears, the buyer simply follows PayPal's dispute resolution process and is entitled to a full refund.

[BasilFawlty]

I'm kinda on the fence about this plugin. I generally like the idea and it does make the Classifieds seem more "professional." Currently I just use a set of forums to allow my members to post "For Sale", "Wanted", or "Trade" threads. Mine is a car-related site so I have several forums for different car models. When a member posts an ad in my classifieds forums, they are required to select one of three thread "prefixes" "For Sale", "Wanted" or "Trade". Obviously for the latter two categories there would be no "transaction fee". Seems that currently, if I link Panjo to my forums, I loose the ability for them to post "Wanted" or "Trade" ads. So, my question/suggestion is:

Does Panjo have plans to implement different ad types? (e.g., a user could select whether their ad is a "For Sale, Wanted, Trade" ?).

In the meantime, is there a way to have Panjo put a "For Sale" Prefix in from of a thread title if integrated into a forum?

Thanks in advance.

100% correct. Panjo is working on implementing "chained payments" right now. in the meantime, Panjo circles back to the seller post sale to collect any forum fees. Once chained payments are in place, Panjo will be able to collect all forum fees at the time of the sale.

I might be willing to add panjo to several large forms, but not until this issue is resolved. The payment request 30 days after the sale is done is a non-starter for us. Hopefully you can get this done soon. Thanks.

Panjo does have a feature that can affix a prefix to the thread posts the plugin creates.

Panjo supports a listing with a price of $0 for those who INSIST on using it for WTT and Wanted listings. However, we really don't recommend that. We highly recommend that you create a new sub forum for WTT and Wanted thread posts. In the meantime, Panjo IS working on adding features to handle WTT and Wanted listings. Panjo has a test running with some partners right now to see what direction we should take those tools to make them as valuable as possible for members.

Panjo announces a bunch of updates to its vBulletin classifieds mod & companion mobile app for hobbyists, enthusiasts, and collectors (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/panjo-buying-selling-for-every/id741184746?mt=8).

1) For sellers who do not wish to use PayPal to collect a buyer's payment, Panjo now allows the seller to easily opt out of PayPal payment collection. The seller simply needs to click, "I'd rather collect payment on my own."

2) For sellers who do not want to promote their listings to users of Panjo.com or the Panjo iOS mobile application, Panjo now allows sellers to easily limit the distribution of their listing to their primary vBulletin forum. The seller simply needs to click the check box next to the option that reads, "Do not show this listing outside of [forum name]."

3) A buyer can now set how many listings he wants to see at a time.

4) A buyer can now limit search results to a radius from a location.

5) A buyer can now set a min and max price range on search results.

6) A buyer can now limit search results by age of listing.

7) Each listing now has a view counter.

Same here. Unacceptable. My site doesn't exist to promote Panjo.

Panjo, please stop this immediately. This was never agreed to. If you want to advertise on my site, you can contact me for prices.

[Panjo]

Morrus/dougdirac - Thanks for the heads up. As you both know via email - resolved.

[bosanci28]

So the "The payment request 30 days after the sale is done is a non-starter for us." it is resolved? I want to install this soon, in few weeks but i have to make sure , sellers gets their money right away.

Also do you have system that integrates with your payment gateway ,to get payment for advertising? like to let some local companies to advertise on my forum,so this way they can pay via your payment gateway? and have built in to get paid every month?!, anything like this within your payment gateway?

Also works on vb4.2.2 the latest update version of vb?

Thanks

The 30 day payment thing is LONG gone. Sellers get paid the moment a buyer makes a purchase. Buyers receive the full money back protections afforded by PayPal. Panjo maximizes buyer AND seller payment/chargeback protection by follow certain workflows with the PayPal API.

The payment gateway (powered by PayPal's chained payments feature) currently supports a transaction fee upon successful sales. Support for listing and promotion fees is coming. Thus, an advertiser could advertise items for sale and you can get paid when the items sell. AKA, Panjo supports a CPA model.

Panjo works on version 4.2.2. In fact, Panjo is preinstalled in version 4.2.2. If you are running on 4.2.2 or upgrade to 4.2.2, you can log into your admin control panel and use the Panjo admin tools to turn Panjo on. Panjo is disabled by default in 4.2.2.

Once again, lots of major updates to the Panjo classifieds plugin for vBulletin. Get all the details on the Panjo marketplace blog (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/search/label/Panjo%20software%20update).

[Videx]

Having been forced to update to 4.2.2 to accommodate the latest security issue, I would like to try Panjo.

A couple questions:

How do I change the wording "Sell an item"? Most of our ads are for local services or freebies. I hope I don't have to go editing templates.
How do I set the expiration date for ads? And will any threads associated with that ad be completely deleted when this happens? I would hate to bloat the db with old useless ads.

TIA

At this time, you can't change the "sell an item" link / button.

At this time, there is not an option to set an expiration date for a listing. It sounds like you have noticed that Panjo can optionally create a thread post for each listing (ad) created. You can impose any rules you want on those thread posts. Panjo sends email reminders to sellers every two week to remind them to delist any listings that are outdated or no longer available. Panjo automatically marks listings as 'sold' or 'unavailable' when the status of a listing changes based on a transaction. Rather than think of legacy listings as bloat, depending on the nature of your listings, you may wish to think of them as SEO-rich user generated content. It is probably in your interest to keep them around. However, the needs of your forum may be different than most.

[Panjo]

On March 7, Panjo rolled out an upgrade to the shipping field. Sellers can now use Panjo to calculate the shipping cost based on the shipping option selected and the locations of the buyer and seller. You can find more details and screen shots about the new shipping features on Panjo's blog. See the post about Panjo's vBulletin shipping calculator mod (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2014/03/version-one-of-dynamic-shipping-arrives.html).

Panjo also released an update to its vBulletin classifieds iPhone app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/panjo-buying-selling-for-every/id741184746?mt=8).

[Videx]

At this time, you can't change the "sell an item" link / button.

At this time, there is not an option to set an expiration date for a listing. That's just bizarre for a "Classifieds" mod. From the beginning Classifieds have been mostly about things besides "For Sale" including Help Wanted, Services, Housing, etc. And I have never seen one without mandated expirations. In years past the newspapers would give you a weekend, and more recently Craigslist gives you 30/7 days.

Perhaps this mod should be renamed to something like "Panjo Storefront" to more accurately represent nothing but sales.

[bosanci28]

I understand that you can sale stuff, like very soon,will open a forum where will let users post their auto parts for sale , and from the reading , i will get the 2-4% depends on what i will fill like to put the % at, but i still confuse about few things here with this mod!

Like you said here:

>>>
1.Payment Collection Options for Sellers
a- PayPal, fully integrated via PayPal chained payments API
b- Collect payment on own
c- Local pickup only

2.Listing Types
a- Buy-it-Now
b- Adjustable quantity control
c- Or best offer
d- Trade
e- Wanted
f- Free
>>>

For 1.a. i know that way i can get my 2-4%,
but for 1.b and 1.c , how exactly are we getting our %? as if they choose
to collect payment on their own ,they can contact each other and do the transaction outside of the
forum ,and then i louse ,no $ for me...they only using the market place to list .

Explain please....

Also for 2.a , 2.c , looks like will get the %,
but for 2.d,2.e,2-f how we will get the %,as i don't think i want anyone to
post anything in the market place without paying a % fee to create a listing....

Also will this work for cars? if someone lists a car for sale and then we have a 3% fee and the car
is listed at $20.000 and if the seller and buyer will contact each other and meet ,with out
paying the % fee to the forum/market place!

Please explain so to understand how your mod works!, before i will start install !

Thank you!

[Videx]

It sounds like you have noticed that Panjo can optionally create a thread post for each listing (ad) created. Actually, I just tried to turn this 'optional' feature OFF, and it does not seem to be possible. Categories of "For Sale" items must always be linked to a forum, there is no option not to link.

Add New Category>Link this category to a subforum> There is no "none" option. One is forced to link to a subforum.

Great question. You are correct, there is no "none" option. For testing you can do any of the following...

1) Associate a Panjo category with a subforum that is 'acting as a category.'
2) Associate a Panjo category with a subforum that is only visible to administrators.
3) Associate a Panjo category with a subforum where the seller does not have access to create thread posts.

Taking any of the actions above will allow you to "kick the tires" and prevent any listings created via Panjo from showing up in public-facing sub forums.

Panjo partners tend to NOT want thread posts created during testing. Panjo designed the admin dashboard to cover the production use cases.

That is correct. The term for this is leakage. It exists in all online marketplaces. It behooves us and you to do all we can from a feature and service perspective to maximize the value, benefits, and protections a buyer and seller receive via choice 1.a. in order to maximize your transaction fee revenue.

Additionally, you might consider charging listings fees in order to generate revenue from transactions that complete via options 1.b. and 1.c.


2.Listing Types
a- Buy-it-Now
b- Adjustable quantity control
c- Or best offer
d- Trade
e- Wanted
f- Free
>>>
Also for 2.a , 2.c , looks like will get the %,
but for 2.d,2.e,2-f how we will get the %,as i don't think i want anyone to
post anything in the market place without paying a % fee to create a listing....

Again, absent a listing fee, you won't generate direct revenue from transaction types d, e, and f. However, you indirectly generate revenue by giving your members a good place for all transaction types and the browsing and buying that occurs as a ancillary result.

Also will this work for cars? if someone lists a car for sale and then we have a 3% fee and the car is listed at $20.000 and if the seller and buyer will contact each other and meet ,with out paying the % fee to the forum/market place!

Right now, Panjo automatically defaults all listings over $3,000 USD to the seller collecting payment on his/her own. Sellers won't purchase a $20k car via their credit card or PayPal balance. Again, listing fees are the best way to monetize high ticket items. And again, quality high ticket items encourage traffic and browsing that leads to purchases downstream. Panjo does see sellers occasionally list a high ticket item and use the system to collect a down payment of some kind.

Thanks for all these great questions. Given the nature of your questions, you might like to see the way Panjo is configured here:

I think I found my answer above that it can be disabled.

Thanks,
Rich

[Panjo]

Yes, when creating a listing, a seller can select an option that says, "I will collect payment on my own." Selecting that option disables the payment API for an individual listing.

At present there is not a setting to disable the payment API marketplace wide. We have a few requests to force use of the payment API marketplace wide. This is the first request for the opposite.

Thanks for the reply,

I have a client who's site is about a product that does not do well with Paypal, etc and he wishes to have members make transactions on their own. He likes the look and layout of Panjo though so I wanted to find out if this would be possible.

[DreadsUK]

Need friendly Url's for users shops. something like

www.usershopname.mysite.com

would this be possible?

[Panjo]

We designed Panjo to leverage the legacy SEO that you already have in place. Thus, on this site, Google is indexing the Trade Exchange when Panjo creates thread posts:
http://dreadsuk.com/forumdisplay.php?48-Trade-Exchange

Ah... but rereading your post you are asking if it is possible for individual sellers to have better URLs. For example, buyers can browse all the items from seller "MissSvp" at the following URL which is not very friendly.
dreadsuk.com/classifieds.php?paccountid=19522 (http://dreadsuk.com/classifieds.php?p[accountid]=19522)

You would prefer a URL like:
dreadsuk.com/classifieds.php?profile=MissSvp
or better yet:
misssvp.dreadsuk.com

We are a bit limited from a subdomain perspective given that Panjo's partners have a variety of domain configurations. However, we could produce better URLs for seller profile pages. Thanks for the request. We will get it on the product roadmap.

Hi there, Nice mod you have here. Well we have installed it but yet to enabled for our users.

Would like to check will there be update functions like, Feature listings, limit listings to certain usergroups & i realise that if we are not using paypal as payment etc "local pickup" and someone just click buy and listing is considered sold.

This cause a problem as there will be always some pranksters who click but have no intention to buy and the lister will have to upload another listing for it. It have no function to confirm on the seller's side?

Thanks for the kind words about the mod.

You asked, "will Panjo add features like the ability to feature a listing?"

Yes - we have plans for sellers to enhance the visibility of their listings via promotional options. On that note, Panjo currently supports a widget that features listings. The widget or ad unit takes a variety of input variables. Contact info@panjo.com to get access to the widget for your site.

You asked, "will Panjo add features like the ability to limit listings to certain user groups?"

Panjo currently has a feature that allows you to limit which user groups can create a listing. You can find this setting in your admin cp under the Panjo Marketplace options.

You asked, "if we are not using paypal and someone clicks the buy button, is the listing considered sold?"

Yes, that is correct. If a seller indicates that he/she wants to collect payment on their own. Then the listing gets the equivalent of a 'commit to purchase form.' If a buyer completes that form, then the system marks the item as sold. If the sale falls through, the seller would need to relist the item for sale.

In our experience, falsely completed 'buy now' forms are a rare occurrence. If that becomes a major problem for your community, we would be happy to review features that could help address that. We obviously want to reduce work for buyers and sellers, not create more work for them.

[Panjo]

Panjo fixes various bugs in the vBulletin classified plugin.

Fixed: If a buyer or seller is logged out of vBulletin, various links in transactional emails will not work.
Fixed: When a seller gets a reminder to mark sold items as sold, and if the seller had listings in a limbo state, those limbo listings would appear in the email notice.
Fixed: Aspects of the message system do not function properly if a buyer or seller have a space in their screen name.
Fixed: IE11 users can't cancel a listing or mark a listing as sold.
Fixed: If there is a problem validating a seller's PayPal email address, the error message that displays indicates that there is a problem with the contact email.
Fixed: Issues can arise if a buyer or seller is a member of multiple Panjo communities and uses the same email address within each community.
Fixed: If a buyer performs a search and includes more than one space between search keywords, the search will fail.

When will this support a listing fee from members to place an ad?

I want to have a paid membership option where they have no listing fee and no sales fee.

But for those who don't opt for a paid membership they can pay a $2.99 listing fee to place their ad and also have a 2.5% fee on the total amount of their sale.

How do I have items from other sites show in my marketplace? We do electronics and would be interested in having electronics listings from other sites/

How do I add my logo to the pages which are not shown from my server? These plain white pages make it look they were hijacked off of my site.

How do I become a moderator for the listings from my site? Your FAQ explpains how to do it, but I see none of those options on my site or yours.

Thanks!

But for those who don't opt for a paid membership they can pay a $2.99 listing fee to place their ad and also have a 2.5% fee on the total amount of their sale.

Our listing fee feature is in beta now. It is due out in the next few weeks. In the meantime, for beta partner sites, we can underwrite listing fees for your members until the feature is released into the production version of Panjo. Email me at chad@panjo.com and I can see if we can include you in the listing fee beta group.

How do I have items from other sites show in my marketplace? We do electronics and would be interested in having electronics listings from other sites.

This is something we have to do from Panjo HQ. Drop me an email with your site and the kinds of listings you want and we can set up the feed. We support this today.

How do I add my logo to the pages which are not shown from my server? These plain white pages make it look they were hijacked off of my site.

I am not sure which pages you are talking about. Can you send a link with an example to chad@panjo.com

How do I become a moderator for the listings from my site? Your FAQ explpains how to do it, but I see none of those options on my site or yours.

Again, we do this from Panjo HQ. Drop me an email at chad@panjo.com with your site and your email and I can go set you as a moderator. We have to do this from HQ due to the fact that some sites have multiple vB admins, not all of whom are entitled to mod access to the marketplace.

[Panjo]

Panjo added a listing fee feature to the popular vBulletin classifieds plugin.

A forum administrator can set the listing fee at the user group level.

Many Panjo partners continue to NOT charge listing fees. For those sites wishing to charge a listing fee, Panjo now supports that source of fee-based revenue.

All recent Panjo updates (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/search/label/Panjo%20software%20update) are logged on the Panjo blog.

Panjo continues to improve its marketplace iOS app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/panjo-buying-selling-for-every/id741184746?mt=8) and now drives traffic from the mobile app to partner forums.

You can always find info about the Panjo plugin on the partners section of Panjo.com (http://www.panjo.com/partners).

[appsfinder]

I've activated it in 4.2.2 - though my test listing is the only one there right now.

Panjo asked for my email address when I first went to list an item (it didn't when I started to list a second item) and has a note saying it will only be used to notify you of activity on your listing, and will not be sold. It didn't ask for other info - address or anything - though it asked for a shipping country. So all it's got is an email addy and a description of an item, which seems fairly OK to me. If they start directly emailing my members other than that, I'll be surprised (and very pissed!)

(Oh, it asked for my PayPal account, too).

Not much else to report. Most folks selling stuff on my site simply link to eBay auctions, so I don't know if it'll get used.

One thing I don't like about it is that the page title is "Panjo Marketplace", not your own site's.

Panjo Marketplace you can change this Search in Phrases vb admin e.g
(1) do Phrases Search select Panjo

Thanks for the kind words about the mod.

You asked, "will Panjo add features like the ability to feature a listing?"

Yes - we have plans for sellers to enhance the visibility of their listings via promotional options. On that note, Panjo currently supports a widget that features listings. The widget or ad unit takes a variety of input variables. Contact info@panjo.com to get access to the widget for your site.

You asked, "will Panjo add features like the ability to limit listings to certain user groups?"

Panjo currently has a feature that allows you to limit which user groups can create a listing. You can find this setting in your admin cp under the Panjo Marketplace options.

You asked, "if we are not using paypal and someone clicks the buy button, is the listing considered sold?"

Yes, that is correct. If a seller indicates that he/she wants to collect payment on their own. Then the listing gets the equivalent of a 'commit to purchase form.' If a buyer completes that form, then the system marks the item as sold. If the sale falls through, the seller would need to relist the item for sale.

In our experience, falsely completed 'buy now' forms are a rare occurrence. If that becomes a major problem for your community, we would be happy to review features that could help address that. We obviously want to reduce work for buyers and sellers, not create more work for them.

You know what, your product will in our forum because we are so convinced by the way you respond to all posts. we always feared putting up mods that eventually have no response from its coder or poorly answered. We deeply appreciate the reply you gave and we will be looking forward to put up our mod.

All kinds of good stuff from Panjo:

Redesign of the marketplace is coming. This includes new designs for the main marketplace gallery (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2014/06/panjo-previews-new-plugin-designs.html) and the listing detail pages (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2014/07/preview-new-listing-detail-page-design.html).

There is a new 'relist' feature (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2014/07/new-feature-relist-item-for-vbulletin.html) for sellers.

There is a new feature to 'require payment processing.' (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-vbulletin-classifieds-plugin.html)

There is a new feature to collect listing fees (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2014/05/listing-fee-feature-arrives-in-panjos.html).

So is there no way to choose what user groups can see the classifieds? And restrict what user groups can buy?

i have one slight issue however.
Im working in GBP and when the classified gets posted to the chosen forum the '£' symbol is not displayed. instead I have the special character code displayed instead. This means editing each post.
Any help appreciated.

[hpidriver]

I remember when this plugin was originally Enthusify. I was excited to try out the new Panjo plugin as it looks really slick, and the function is quite mobile friendly. Unfortunately, as the plugin is *heavily branded* with no paid option to remove, I had no choice but to uninstall.

If there is ever an option to remove the branding, I'd consider this plugin again.

[markoroots]

Hi guys i have the 4.2.2 version installed and was trying this, that look a really nice product but...

I stop when reading your installation guide, i don't know what to think...
Why you ask to disable the vbulletin protections???
And why the plugin doesn't work of default in https??????????????????????
And also why I must insert my admin cp account details in the panjo site??

These are your instructions to install the plugin:

Disable The Apache Module Mod_Security

Symptom:

You are getting a message when creating or managing your Panjo marketplace that says:
There was a problem getting your forum info.



What is causing this?

There are a few potential causes of the above problem, but in 95% of cases, it is because you are running an apache module called “Mod_security” which is known to cause problems with vBulletin. (For this reason, Internet Brands, the developers of vBulletin, have even created a diagnostic tool to detect the more serious issues caused by this module.)

What is this module for?

The short answer is that it exists as a backup for insecure code on your site. vBulletin is secure by default. An example for potentially insecure code would be custom code written by inexperienced vB developers.

Here is a link with a more thorough answer:
http://www.inmotionhosting.com/suppo...s-it-important

How do I disable this module?

In most cases, the module has been enabled by your vbulletin hosting company and can only be disabled by them. You will need to contact them to get this resolved.

In some cases, you may be able to disable it with cPanel. Here is a link that can walk you through that if that option is available: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/suppo...bers/406-error

Alternatively, you may be able to disable it by modifying your .htcaccess file. Here is a link that can help you with that. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...-htaccess-file

However, we strongly recommend that you contact your host, since the cPanel and .htcaccess solutions have not worked for sites where the module was enabled by the host.

How will my forum be affected if I disable it?

It protects against a certain type of vulnerability if the developer writing the code on your server (vB devs or plugin coders) don't know how to make it safe. It has the unfortunate side effect generating false positives and blocking some secure scripts. If it's gone it will stop doing both of these things. This generally only matters to you if you're running insecure, custom code.
Other Recommendations

1. Make sure your site-clock is accurate.

Time-zone does not matter, but if we make a request at 5:09pm PST and your site says its currently 5:45pm PST, the request will fail.

2. Make sure the plugin is accessible to logged-out users.

The plugin is located at your forum root. (Example: http://www.yoursite.com/classifieds.php)

The reason for this is that our servers will be treated like logged-out users and can’t communicate with the plugin if a login is required for that page.

3. Make sure that cURL is enabled.

4. The plugin will not work if https is enabled site-wide.

The Panjo plugin operates in an iframe and needs to have a certificate FTP’d into your site for HTTPS to work on it. Unfortunately, certificates have to be renewed regularly, which makes it unfeasible for us to implement at this time.


I'm a little bit confused...

[hpidriver]

Also, Panjo is not compatible with https enabled sites!

[Asmod]

so its not secure?

thats what i understand from that...

[hpidriver]

so its not secure?

thats what i understand from that...
From what I saw the plugin basically iframes all the content from their site. Admincp settings shows a blank page unless you disable https.
All your registered members must first register an account with Panjo. When they make a listing its hosted on Panjo and the subsequently created forum thread is just a link to their marketplace. Pretty much everything about their plugin is designed to collect your user's information (rather than using it directly through the plugin) and spam them with Panjo branded marketplace emails. :down:

vb 4.2.2

It sounds like you activated the version of Panjo (4.2.2) that comes with vBulletin 4.2.2. The latest version of Panjo fixes this bug. The latest version of Panjo, as of this thread post, is 4.2.2.0.10. You can always check with me, Chad, at Panjo (info@Panjo.com) or this vBulletin.org page for the latest version of Panjo.

[Panjo]

Why you ask to disable the vbulletin protections???
And why the plugin doesn't work of default in https??????????????????????
And also why I must insert my admin cp account details in the panjo site??


Thanks for these great questions.

On the topic of https: Short version: Panjo supports SSL. Contact us for some custom configuration help. Long version: Most Panjo partners don't have an SSL certificate. Therefore, all Panjo transaction pages leverage Panjo's SSL to maximize the security and protection of payment information and personally identifiable information of buyers and sellers. Kudos to you if you have implemented SSL on your site. If that is the case, contact us at Panjo and it is possible for us to help you configure your Panjo install to leverage your SSL implementation. The plugin is 100% secure. It was tested thoroughly by Internet Brands (owners of vbulletin) in order to be pre-installed on vbulletin 4.2.2. The plugin works in an iframe that communicates with our servers. This communication also allows us to create threads for new listings, and update those threads when the items get sold or get edited. On-site HTTPs and some mod_security rules interfere with this communication. With a tiny bit of configuration, both of these can be modified to work with our servers. Additionally, Panjo checkout pages and "sell an item" pages open in their own windows and utilize best practices for SSL / HTTPs, and PCI compliance.

On the topic of your admin CP credentials: Short version: Some aspects of Panjo's administrative tools require a NEW Panjo admin credential set. Long version: When you are logged into your Admin CP, you will find a new nav bar option on the left, "Panjo Marketplace." Some of the Panjo Marketplace admin tools require you to log into Panjo's servers to administer. For those remote admin tools, you create a new credential set that is different from your Admin CP credential set.

[Panjo]

Panjo is very secure. Panjo is MUCH more secure than a legacy classifieds subforum that does not use SSL.

[Panjo]

From what I saw the plugin basically iframes all the content from their site. Admincp settings shows a blank page unless you disable https.
All your registered members must first register an account with Panjo. When they make a listing its hosted on Panjo and the subsequently created forum thread is just a link to their marketplace. Pretty much everything about their plugin is designed to collect your user's information (rather than using it directly through the plugin) and spam them with Panjo branded marketplace emails.

"the plugin basically iframes all the content from their site" - not exactly. You gain a new iFrame that provides a visual marketplace gallery and hosts the marketplace functionality. BUT, all the content ALSO gets deposited in your legacy (or new) classified subforums. And we use canonical URLs to improve link and ranking signals for your marketplace content.

"All your registered members must first register an account with Panjo" - not exactly. If a member wants to create a listing, he/she must register an account with Panjo. That process is simply submitting an email where the seller wants to receive marketplace communication. We implemented this step due to the fact that so many forum members had bad email addresses on file with the forum and were missing information related to their marketplace transactions.

Sorry... can you please explain better these steps.

[markoroots]

I have wrote something to Vb site because i'm really angry with them about all these issues....
And there you will found also some tips in how to let live panjo..
In this way look real a disaster... till now you have only 25 installations...
active and imagine in how many forum your plugin is...
So listen my tips and you will see that all will grow...

But not in the iframe way you are making this.

Forum Admins don't want third part iframe on the own Forum.

So please or resolve these things or let us know how to complete remove the plugin on our sites.

You can found... also my tips here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-4/vbulletin-4-questions-problems-and-troubleshooting/4000365-panjo-in-4-2-2

Markoroots - Thank you for sharing those suggestions at vBulletin.com. Much appreciated. The Panjo plugin continues to improve thanks to the input of forum owners like you and thousands of others. The best place to follow Panjo improvements and updates (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/search/label/Panjo%20software%20update) is on Panjo's blog under the 'software update' label.

Panjo does not have 25 installations. Panjo has nearly 1,000 installations. Due to the fact that Panjo comes preinstalled in vB 4.2.2 and due to the fact you can download Panjo from Panjo.com, the total count is ~1,000, not the 25 listed on this vB.org mod page. Panjo works lots of big boards that to are too busy running their businesses to come back to this page to flag Panjo as 'installed.'

As for the iFrame - why does Panjo leverage an iFrame? Panjo balances contemporary software development best practices with a world where vB 3.8 dominates. Panjo's use of an iFrame enables Panjo to be agile and quickly ship new features, benefits, and bug fixes. If Panjo relied on or burdened our partners with a task every time we wanted to deploy a new benefit or fix a bug, Panjo would have an install base running many different versions of Panjo. Through the iFrame, Panjo is able to rapidly improve the marketplace tools. Additionally, Panjo is able to provide security best practices to its partners through a use of SSL in a world where most vB forum operators are not using SSL. We don't disagree that a native vB php mod would be more ideal in some senses, but in many other senses it would be a loser. For four years, Panjo has continued to grow and improve. That can't be said for many vBulletin plugins because they took the route you are suggesting. We too wish were didn't have to use an iFrame, but it maximizes benefits and minimizes costs. PS - Take a VERY close look at the way Panjo integrates with the "post new thread" button and thread posts. Panjo's deep integration into vBulletin leverages the work flows and work flows familiar to your members.

[mytreehouse]

Everything is running smooth on vBulletin 4.2.2. Thank you for this! :)

[markoroots]

"the plugin basically iframes all the content from their site" - not exactly. You gain a new iFrame that provides a visual marketplace gallery and hosts the marketplace functionality.

Ahh so there is a new iFrame?? :) But when we have opened for the first time Panjo before to upload the new iFrame who know what is succeeded... :confused:

BUT, all the content ALSO gets deposited in your legacy (or new) classified subforums. And we use canonical URLs to improve link and ranking signals for your marketplace content.


Ahh ALSO.... Really good. :) So I have to bring to Panjo: advertisement (for all invasive logos and links there are in the plugin), vendors, items and buyers. But how much Panjo pay me each month for this???:D


"All your registered members must first register an account with Panjo" - not exactly. If a member wants to create a listing, he/she must register an account with Panjo. That process is simply submitting an email where the seller wants to receive marketplace communication. We implemented this step due to the fact that so many forum members had bad email addresses on file with the forum and were missing information related to their marketplace transactions.

And then why our suppliers must before register an account on panjo??
Our vendors are our vendors.
I will feel very stupid that to let add some items on my forum from our suppliers, I have to tell them that before they can do this, them must go and create an account in a more big world commercial platform (Panjo) where they have 3000 options more and occasion to work better there. :) I don't think is a clever thing.

The items must be stored in the forum of the owner and only there.
Without any obligatory registration by our vendors on Panjo site, to use the plugin.

But like I suggest in this post these are the things in my opinion to let live Panjo:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-4/vbulletin-4-questions-problems-and-troubleshooting/4000365-panjo-in-4-2-2/page2



All contents must be stored in the forum.
The Iframe must be open and closed by the owner of the forum when and if he/she needed and must be clear and visible what this iFrame do.
This could be useful if a forum owner want share them items in the Panjo Marketplace (the site i mean, by sharing a little additional fee with Panjo Marketplace), or better to fill the own empty marketplace of the own forum, with the items exposed by the vendors in the Panjo Marketplace.

Must be the owner of the forum to decide in what way to use the Panjo plugin.
The plugin just like this is full of Panjo advertisement...

Do you see?? This is a little example...

Chad I'm giving this tips because I like this plugin and I will be very happy to use it and that also your Marketplace Project will work.


"Pretty much everything about their plugin is designed to collect your user's information (rather than using it directly through the plugin) and spam them with Panjo branded marketplace emails." - 100% false. Panjo sends transactional emails. Examples: 'A buyer asked a question about your item,' 'your item sold,' 'a buyer made an offer on your item,' 'a seller accepted your offer,' or 'here is your receipt.'

Also this can be done simply by our board.

And when there are some fix or implementation you can alert all users to upload the mod like all mod do. :)
I really need to use a mod like this so I'm searching the best solution, but until Panjo don't resolve these things, I'm sorry but I will not install it on my forum.

[Panjo]

Panjo's classifieds plugin for vBulletin is happy to announce the launch of a major redesign.

Can you please let me know how to completely delete this plugin from my Vb installation?
Some people says that it reinstall it alone again...
Why?
VB says that them don't know what this plugin do... but include it in our upgrades....

Some other people say that the mod affect all php file...
why???

You don't answer to all questions we made...

I don't want a third part "plugin" installed on my forum that do what I tell you upside and in my previous posts without to have any answer....

So please let us now how to completely remove this software from our installations.

[ozzy47]

Do not uninstall it, simply disable it.

If you uninstall it, then happen to run the upgrader again, it will re-install it.

....like a virus....
incredible...
great present that vbulletin made to us...

Please give a look at here, when you try to purchase an item, you are redirected to the panjo.com site... :D
http://www.bhuz.com/classifieds.php?listing=pink-and-gold-assuit-design-costume-157516

Is a really great way to collect buyers and sellers informations and contacts and have the panjo banner in all the place of the forums, and who know what else....

All the sellers and buyers informations that come from a forum, are property of that forum so you cannot redirect these informations to your site.... :)
More you want put 2 big panjo banners in each page of the plugin???
:)
:D

I think that plugin to work must work like a stand alone plugin

and down the pages of the plugin you add a non invasive banner (like now is) to your site.
I think that this is just more then enough. This can be good for both parts: Panjo and the forums admin's.

And also I'm still waiting for the answers about the questions I have made you in my previous posts.

Then you can do like you prefer.

Most forums running on vBulletin do not have an SSL (secure socket layer) certificate. Thus, in order to provide a secure checkout process, Panjo brings the buyer to a secure checkout page to process payment and collect personal information (like the buyer's shipping info) via a secure page.

In your prior post you asked how to delete the mod. Per the suggestion above, don't delete it, just disable it.

No US-site would offer a third party service to their visitors and members, when it?s only available in Hindu - likewise it?s for non-english speaking forums.
The project to translate Panjo into other languages got pushed back.

I?ve heard you. May be Panjo should be excluded from the non-english vBulletin versions, at least until it?s available in the language the vB-version is licensed to. It?ll be installed every update if someone is going to uninstall plugins he cannot make use of (i.e. for security reasons aso).

In the others plugins like yours, the payment is made by a Paypal plugin that the coder install in the own mod. So when you want buy something, this Paypal plugin (the more secure platform in the world for payments) make exactly what you are saying and is sure the best secure checkout process for this kind of function, also because is the most used from all.

So there are no reason to use your I frame.

All the world payments are made with this Paypal plugin, why we have to use your special Iframe? :)

In the end, look only a way to collect informations on our buyers and sellers and put for free, tons of panjo banners on our forums.

1) Panjo's marketplace plugin for vBulletin leverages PayPal's chained payments API. This allows a forum owner to optionally set a transaction fee on a user group by user group basis.

2) Panjo's plugin for vBulletin leverages Braintree for the optional collection of listing fees.

3) Panjo's iFrame allows buyers to sort, filter, and search listings in ways that are not possible in thread posts.

4) Panjo's iFrame integrates with Panjo's mobile marketplace iOS app for enthusiasts (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/panjo-buying-selling-for-every/id741184746?mt=8) to optionally allow sellers to manage listings quickly and on the move.

5) Panjo's iFrame allows Panjo to ship frequent updates to the plugin without placing an upgrade burden on the administrator.

6) Panjo provides phone, email, and Skype support for the marketplace. This significantly reduces the burden of service and dispute resolution that increasingly falls on a site administrator. This helps save you time.

Panjo has released an update (http://panjo.com/partners) to its vBulletin classifieds mod (http://panjo.com/partners). You can find details on the Panjo blog (http://panjo-marketplace.blogspot.com/2015/02/latest-release-includes-new-plugin.html).

Highlights:
- A "Your Account" link has been added to Marketplace Tools dropdown.
- This new "Your Account" page allows users to connect their PayPal account to become a Panjo Verified Seller, view/edit additional account information, and view Marketplace stats.
- The "Your Listings" page UI has been refreshed to make it easier for users to edit listings, close listings, and mark items as sold.
- Users can close or mark multiple items as sold and tab between items "For Sale" and "Sold.

Hi,

So I'm trying to get Panjo up and running but its telling me it is out of date. I have ensured its upgraded to the latest but still not working.

My only idea is that its not out of date its just doesn't support PL4.

vBulletin is 4.2.2 PL4.

Thanks

Remove the XML only then run the upgrade.php you will need to reinstall the install folder to run the upgrade.php make sure you delete folder after you have ran it. It will reinstall the plugin for you

@ForceHSS - thanks for that suggestion.

I was thinking that the issue might be that VA6DAH hadn't gone to:
vB admin > Panjo Marketplace > Advanced Settings > What version of Panjo do you want to run? > New plugin

That (annoying) setting is in there due to a transition we made in the core architecture of the plugin and the need to be backwards compatible with vB 4.2.2.

I am having problems with charset using panjo, they dont show € or any other charset like Ñ or í. I am using ISO-8859-1

Also cant find any translation file for different languages.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Kenas - at this time, Panjo does not have any language packs or support for languages other than English. It will be at least a year before we get to that. Sorry that Panjo isn't a great option for you at this time due to the lack of support for languages other than English.

Panjo just launched a major update to the Panjo marketplace plugin. See the main post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=300901) for this plugin for details.
