Here's a working version if anyone want's a look.

I've not long had it installed myself so im still tweaking it.

Classifieds

Sorry, I know this must be a stupid question but where does it give the viewer a chance to purchase an item being listed? I added two test items, entered my paypal address for each item.

The ad shows up, I see everything except a link where the viewer can purchase the item.

oops... I'm wondering now if it's because I am the one that listed the ad and since I am the one viewing the listing, a "purchase" link would make no sense???

You will also be hard pressed to see the 'purchase' options, since everything is tucked away in a drop down 'options' menu.

You might want to edit the template. Use the code i posted here:-
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...65&page=11#160

This will give you a MUCH better item layout.

That's right. Being the owner it has no sence to see the "Buy" link.

I believe that using less hard words it's a kind of politeness to someone who spend weeks to give you for free something that others ask lot of money.

Bypassing this, the only that I've to say is that everything is depending on user's taste. I'm the first (and maybe the only one) who never followed vB's standards on interface. I liked to use fieldsets instead of tables, HTML editor instead of vB editor, real categories and not threads.

But the fact is that most members here prefer the standard interface, that's why Classifieds (after 9 other mods), was the first one which follows the vB standards for menus. And you like it or not, "Buy Now" is a menu option, and all menus must be set in popups.

Thank you
Mary

Mary

thank you for the reply... nice to see an author supporting their products.

Are the versions for 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 the same? I installed the 3.6 version and the only thing I see lacking is the multiple image uploads. Was wondering if it was in later versions (3.7, 3.8)?

btw: Nice package... where can I send a donation?

Hi Mary,

I meant no offence. I'm sorry if my choice of words bothered you, but I stand by the fact that it is badly arranged.

This does not mean i am ungrateful for the mod. If you decide to take offence at some honest to goodness well meant critisism then thats hardly my fault. I can pussy foot around and say 'not the best it could be' or dress it all up in other clothing but I'm not the kind of guy to beat around the bush.

I am a developer, long time user of the internet and specialise to some degree in usability. If I (and others in this thread) had a problem finding the 'buy it now' or equivelent action items along with other options then you can bet your ass that a lot of other people will to.

I am sorry you seem to be so offended and I guarantee that 100% I did not mean to harm your feeling.

It's a GREAT mod, and I mean that..... Like I said on PM I was trying to help. I sent you a PM before you wrote this reply...... why would i PM you offering to help if my intentions were not well meant.

Anyway, maybe if there's anything further we should take it to PM so as to not distract from this great mod.

Thanks for this Mod. When an unregistered user clicks on the "BUY" button, the following message is shown "You have to register for buing.". Where can I change this message. The word "buing" should be buying.

Thanks.

in the vbulletin admin area use the 'search in phrases' tool to find the word 'buing'
