The file which is related to usergroup permissions is: bitfields_microclassifieds.xml and it must be locating at vb_installation_folder/includes/xml .

1. Be sure that you haven't uploaded by mistake to microclassifieds/includes
2. If you're sure that the file is at the correct folder vb_installation_folder/includes/xml, then do a trick as most probably vB engine messed it.
   1. Goto your admincp->Usergroups and enter to any usergroup. It's a fake action as you'll do nothing there.
   2. When you'll see the list of the permissions, keep the page open and connect with your FTP client to your site and delete the fire: vb_installation_folder/includes/xml/bitfields_microclassifieds.xml
   3. Back to your admincp sceen, click cancel and close the the usergroup permissions.
   4. Click again Usergroups and enter again to any usergroup. Most likely you'll see a message "Rebuilding Bitfields" and after it you'll directs you to the usergroup page.
   5. Now upload again the file bitfields_microclassifieds.xml
   6. Follow steps 3 & 4. You'll see again the message "Rebuilding Bitfields" but at this time you'll see the microCLASSIFIEDS permissions. Please note that most likely they'll be a bit before the end.

PS

Immediate thought. If there is a wish list. A big "Sell / Advertise Now" button would be great, because it took me a while to find "Post Classified". Hope you do not mind the suggestion.

I would agree. It would make it easier for new users to get started. I increased my font size and changed the color in that "row" of text, but could only do it so much as it ran into the search box text.

by "free" classified means, ads with no price attached to them. more for display and contact without any buy price/bid etc...

Ah, I understand - sorry, I'm suffering from one track mind. :) I've been trying to figure out how to get a cut of sales, like eBay. Or some way to charge a little bit for Premium Ads, or for Store Ads, or some easy way to make a little money for the site.

You welcome:) Keep this trick in mind as you most probably you'll need again with other addons.

Hello,

Have you already gone live with Classifieds? Most probably I'll change a bit the functionality of the extra fields. Instead to define some extra fields as searchable, I've already added 5 empty fields in the main table, which you can setup exactly as you're doing now with the extra fields. The big difference is on the performance. Much less queries as I don't need to join tables, and thus not server overload. Also it will be easier to add them in listings.

No, not yet. I still need to move some of the existing Classifieds to this one and do some more testing. We also recently installed a site translator and had to fix a few issue with that concerning the Classifieds software.

I have done some database development myself. Less queries and better database design is always good. :)

have anyone a german translation? ;)
