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

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

Be sure to include in your custom query:

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

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

Thanks again for the prompt support :)

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

I seem to have a problem with the printing facility. When I try to print an ad, I get the following error. Any ideas please.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: showextrafields() in /.../Forums/vbfclassifieds.php on line 4430

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

Thanx

Maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious, but after reading 8 pages of comments I see no instructions anywhere about how to add categories! It's not even mentioned at all in the instructions in the initial post. The instructions in the zip file says a bit more: But gives no indication how.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Regards

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

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

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