MicroHellas : when we can expect a new release ?

Last Friday she said she would do it on the Saturday, guess she has been busy!

I have your MicroBusiness installed on our forum. I was wondering if there is a way NOT to let the regular USER add companies, and only allow admin to add them to the directory? As we would like to charge for a listing.

Thank you in advance for your reply,
JR

OR
Maybe be able to deactivate the USER CP tab??
thanks

Hello,

Sometimes I hate myself being out of schedule, but my life dosen't works the way that I want. Even with a week delay, I've released version microBUSINESS ver 1.0.1 which fixes the missing procedures: deleteprofile and deleteitem.

To upgrade just upload business.php and re-import product-microbusiness.xml (check overwrite).

Without to specify an ETA, hope that soon I'll release a new version with some more features like: Suggest Category.

Thanks for going this on. It is now working for us!

One issue, Maria: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in [path]/business.php (Zeile 524)

Any idea?

Lots of ideas, lets see how I can find sometime to solve it:D
Most probably you're trying to add/edit an item when you're getting this error. Are you seeing an empty list in field "Features"? Have you deactivated features from admincp? ..or if you want to use features, have you added at least one?

Sorry for asking, but I've installed only the full version, so I can't check the free one right now.

Hi Maria,

Great work on this mod! This is almost exactly what I am looking for, but I, too, would greatly love to be able to add a company to a category and be able to rate the company, rather than needing to use items.

For example, if you run a website dedicated to outdoor activities, perhaps you would list a company "ABC Fishing Equipment" under a category titled "Fishing", and a company "XYZ Hunting Equipment" under the category of "Hunting". For a fishing equipment retailer, listing 5000 different types of fishing rod styles as items is not feasible, so I would greatly prefer to just list the company under the category of Fishing.

Another example would be a nonprofit organization that does not offer items at all, but should simply be listed under the category "Nonprofit/Charitable". I'd rather just completely skip adding items, and just use the mod as a sponsor directory, with each business listed under a category.

I hope this is possible. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello,

microBUSINESS had been developed and will continue developing having in mind to become a TRADE module and not a business directory. Let's say an Alibaba clone. So seperation of Companies & Shops (Items) is a must. Also rating (always talking for a Trade script) must goes to Shops (Items) and not to the company. Company's rating is auto calculating.

But as I don't like to let disappointed all like you, who want just a business directory, I'm planing to modify the current version by merging companies & items in one table and thus the rating should works the way that you want.

Thanks for the fix but I'm a little confused now on how it works.

I have created business categories in the AdminCP one called Computers.
I then go create a new company with the hope of having a drop down for the categories, however there is no drop down.

The only way I can see of using the categories is by creating a company first, then go into new items and select the category and set up company info again, is there any way of selecting a category whilst you are creating a company profile?

Thanks

I believe that my previous post is clear enought, I'll try once more:)

1. First of all forget anything about listing directory. microBUSINESS is NOT a listing directory.
2. microBUSINESS is a TRADING module, and thus companies can't be assigned to category, because a company can have shops/departments on different categories.
