edit : nevermind this msg

The end price only shows when you choose auction :)

But I did select "Auction" as far as I remember...

I will check again and let you know for sure.

***UPDATE***

It does not show "End Price" anywhere when selecting 'auction'.

Hello!

I have been looking for a hack like this and I have installed it on my site. Thank you so much for offering this. I have dealt with this coder in the past and I am pleased to have run into him again. So far everything seems to have installed properly. I did the template edits in one of our styles and gave one usergroup permission to use the system.

I tried placing an ad I got this error. The following error seems to appear when I try to upload an image to the ad. If I choose not to upload an image, the ad goes through and can be read. This is what happens when I try to upload an image:

Warning: main(./sr_classifieds/functions_sr_classifieds_upload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /sr_classifieds.php on line 1268

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './sr_classifieds/functions_sr_classifieds_upload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /backup/TMP_HOME/corvette/public_html/sr_classifieds.php on line 1268

Please help and thank you.

Installled this yesterday for testing and finding only one bug and one annoyance, when the owner of an ad tried to delete the ad it does nothing (permissions are set to edit in the ACP for that group, even as Admin).

Annoyance; the number of items in the categories does not get updated if an item is moved (by rebuilding the tables via ACP this fixes it).

Other than these it looks like a great hack!

1) That's a java problem. In the sr_classifieds_viewad template make the following edit:
Change this:
<script LANGUAGE=javascript>
To this:
<script LANGUAGE="javascript">

2) That is done to save a query.

Thank you for your kind comments :)

Just make sure you upload the files correctly.

You are very welcome. Thanks for getting back to us here. :)

I'll go through the steps again. I am so very close. It seems to be working but I must have messed up the upload on the image upload section which causes the hack to go bonkers.

UPDATE! I have carefully retraced my steps and it appeared I did not upload one file. I uploaded it and boom goes the dynamite!!!!! It appears it is all working now. :)

I will explore the hack now and PLEASE add me to the notification list of the Premium product you plan on offering. Thank you so much!

That fixed it right up... thanks!

Anytime ;)

GREAT HACK!!!! (Sorry for the shouting, but I really think someone had to do it!

*Installed!

Does anyone have this running on 3.6?

This may seem like a stupid question, but what is NAVBAR and all othe other mentioned? I can't seem to find those files.

Glad you like it ;)

What do you mean by that? The templates are located in admincp >> styles and templates >> style manager >> edit templates.

Is it possible to use other that "GD 2.0"? My system only runs "ImageMagick"
...

Having a weird bug here, where new ads with images appear to overwrite other images... What's really happening though is that it never stores the uploaded image under a new filename; it always prefixes with 'phpTHSyn2'. Then I wind up with both ads (or more if I keep uploading new ads) pointing to the newest rendition of phpTHSyn2.xxx. If I try a .gif and then .jpg it will differentiate between the two, so I think it's just something in the name generation.

I saw a similar issue in here dealing with a no image ad then updated with one, but this happens on two new ads. Directory permissions are set right, since I can delete the ads and the pic file goes away, and can create it all over again.

Ihave installed it successfully, but while updating the usergroup persmission I am getting this error:

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 635

Also later i discovered i was running 3.5.0, will it still run on this .. or should i uninstall this ?

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but is there a comparison between the lite and premium versions?

Gio - why aren't you answering my pm's? Now it says your PM inbox is full. You haven't answered my e-mails as well which I sent to your siteresort email. Please respond.

Update: Still waiting for a reply Gio. It shows in your profile you were online today. Please e-mail or PM me asap, I am not joking around.

Hi Gio.. check your email please! And email me :)

--Chad

Nope, I just tried to load it on 3.6 and the XML script bombs out with DB errors

Yep getting the same error here. Any new picture uploaded gets saved with the same file name overwritting the previous one so all ads end up with the same image phpTHSyn2.xxx.

I guess now that he has his premium version he has stopped responding to this forum :(

I'll have to uninstall this one as its unworkable at present.

That has nothing to do with it, he has stopped supporting the premium owners as well. :tired:

Anyone figure out this image overwriting issue yet? I'd like to get this to work, but I'm having the same problem with new images overwriting all of the previous ones.

I was thinking about buying the premium version of this, but mention of him stopping supporting purchases concerns me. Is this true??

Well I've purchased the premium version of this and got it installed and I am having a problem.

I have contacted him via his website and am hoping to get a response to resolve it, I will confirm on here if that happens or not as others have suggested you don't get replies.

To follow on from my last post, support is extremely limited and shows a lack of interest.

I have now removed the pro version of this script from my site and am currently persuing a refund through Paypal as it's buggy with little or no support. I would accept that from a free script, but from a purchased script it seems a little unfair to take our money and run.

quick question.. is it possible to move or import existing vbulletin categories or threads into sr classifieds? I have a huge F&S section on our board and well I can really have both so I have turned off the F&S and now use classifieds.

This is so difficult that I would say it is not worthwhile to pursue. Try both of them side by side and see if you can get people to list items in the classifieds areas first.

Gio~logist (Giovanni) no longer responds to e-mails, vb.org PM's, siteresort.com PM's (his site), nor any other communication. He was away before and said he was in the hospital, but is now away once again.

If you are having the same issue with mis-communication please PM me so I can see if it is only me or if there are others not able to find gio. Thanks all!

He made some post about how he was back and how now he was over 'stress' and able to get on with stuff he would be doing. Guess what, nothing.............!

He takes your money happily, but when you find the bugs in his scripts, and you will, you get no support and of course no refund.

To me, this person is nothing but a cowboy. I am sorry, but he's taken my money and given me a script that doesn't do what was advertised. When I went for help I got nothing, when I went for a refund I again got nothing and it appears that it's not just me that has problems with him. There are posts on his site asking about customer service and others not happy with him.

I admire people that develop scripts for us and think they do a great job. I would never put down someone that's put in hard work for others, but this person is taking money by selling scripts that don't work and then running. This is totally different and I advise people not to by the pro version of this script or give this person money in any way.

This script has real potential but Gio is just not the person that is capable of handling the responsibility of doing it...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=126417

It is a real shame and for the price he asks it is still likely a good purchase but buyers had best know that the script has issues that will require recoding. Quite a few customers have functional issues that prevent their use of the script and others, like myself, have had to go through and deleted huge sections of code to prevent problems...

Yet, Gio will disapear for months at a time and never log into his own website to support customers yet he finds the time to log in here and see what is going on...

Buyer beware...

I think to be honest it's an unfinished script at a finished price. Not good value at all.

Are you having any success with PayPal? I paid this guy hundreds of dollars for a custom project and now he has disappeared and left me with no support and an incomplete product. I also purchased SR_Classifieds Premium, so I'm embarrassed to say I've given this guy quite a bit of money.

Is there any point complaining to PayPal about something like this? According to their site "PayPal's Buyer Complaint Policy does not apply to virtual or intangible products (like subscriptions and computer programs), services, quasi-cash and all non-tangible, non-physical goods."

Sounds to me like there really isn't much we can do, besides warning others.

Hi simalert and arossphoto

I paid him $300 for a custom hack, he didn't finish as agreed and dissapeared more than three times, he leaves e-mails once in a while maybe once every 1-2 weeks... saying he's busy, stressed, etc. and that he will finish it. Then I dont hear from him again.

I've posted in almost all his product threads on vb.org. Here is what i've said:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....2&postcount=10

That would be nice.

Gio's website turned off and showing only this disclaimer :

"What i am about to announce i believe is both expected and already fore-casted by various people. For a 15 year old, it is obvious that managing a business with hundreds of customers, paid customers for large projects, school, and a normal life can be overwhelming at the least. This has led to various complications, including hospitalization and such. It has been time for me to do this for a while now. I will be "retiring" and taking down my business for a while. If and when i do come back, things will be done differently (hopefully for the better).

When it was good, it was great. I'm sure plenty of you can agree with that. However, I'd rather take a rest now and come back even better, than continue things the way they are and jeopardize my reputation forever.

Also, to answer some questions:
1) Can i take a script and have someone improve it? Sure, you just cannot resell any of the scripts.

2) Can i improve the script myself? Resort to answer number 1.

3) What if i am interested in a script still, would it be possible for me to purchase one even though the business is down? You may email me at gio@dopegfx.com"

Good luck getting a response. I've been trying to get in touch him for over a month regarding a custom project that I paid for in full, but that he has not finished.

Do yourself a favour and don't do business with this guy, now or in the future!
