youve done a fantastic job so far,i will be buying vbclassifieds from you when the $$ come through,I might see if members are preprared to chip in,as i love the layout thankyou

Thats it, I'm not messing around with the lite version anymore, I'm getting the premium
version. I'm not sure how many of you have registered on vB Classifieds.com but, there is alot more with the full version. I (we) are asking for alot of the items that are in the full version. Save yourself some time & get the full version. I am......

I looked at the demo of this mod, and see that one item is showing -500h left in the ad. Do ads not disappear after they have expired?

I also see on the demo homepage that the ad stats show 2 active ads (correct) but if you look at the category boxes, it shows a total of 3 active ads (not correct, as one category showing an active ad does not actually have one). Is this just something with the demo, or is it a bug?

When a user deletes an ad, or it expires, is it removed from the DB or is it still there, just not shown to the end user?

Can usergroup permissions be set so only certain usergroups can (1) view ads (2) place ads?

Thank you!

No, it works... On my site I deleted everything when working on the 1.0.4. release and just forgot to turn the cron back on...

http://www.vbclassified.com/sr_class...y&categoryid=2

The same applies for the wrong category counts... I was doing development work on that site in the past so I am sure I just changed something in the database. The script has a option in the AdminCP to rebuild the counts.

Now, there is a BUG in that times should say closed when the ad is closed and I will fix that in an update soon... Also note the cron does run on the hour so it is possible to have negative times (just not that negative!)

Now, closed ads do remain in view and I will be releasing a cron file for this script soon that will remove the expired ads from the database (along with the uploaded images).

Hello,

I am sorry to ask, but I am not so good at this stuff, I will copy my forumhome template down below, and hope you might be able to cut and pase the code I look for somewhere in between.

On the left site of my site, I have boxes, and I want to add more with relevant links and information about mods installed. this is my site http://novusordosaeculorum.com

Right now I hope to add a box with the title "classifieds" and in the box it shows 3 lines of text with info on the mod, a sell now and a buy now link and a random listing.

I am sorry if this is asking too much, but I have no idea how to implement these things.

Here is my forumhome

I have updated the SR Classifieds Lite scipt to add a number of new features and to fix a couple minor bugs...

Feb 3 2007 1:00 AM EST
Version 1.0.5.

Changes:

Fixed Cron, sr_classifieds.php, and templates so CLOSED always "0" (Script used 0 and 2 before)
Fixed code to Open and Close ads to update category counts
Fixed layout of category display
Made closed Ads show "CLOSED" in time column instead of negative numbers.
Fixed layout issues in View Ad template
Added NEW Cron that will delete listings, uploaded images, and upload table values after ad has been closed for 90-days
NOTE - Webmasters can edit 90-days in the new CRON FILE (Line is adequately commented!)


Enjoy :up:

To do what you want will require a pluggin to pull the random ad and a little template change. Please post on my site in this forum:

http://www.vbclassified.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36

You can delete your code from here too... On my site, just upload the code as a .txt file and I will try to give you a hand. Your questiion is just not really about this hack (you want to hack your site to show this system)...

I am liking this so far! :) Is there a way to not show any classified as stats on the member profile if the user doens't have access to the classifieds?

OK, I'm stumped. Are you not allowed to have people buy stuff in the lite version?
How do you buy an item if they do not enter a paypal address?
I wanted to set my classifieds site so that people could buy stuff with in game currency so using paypal (pay real life cash for in game items) would be against the EULA.

It's not a shopping cart, it's a classified system. As in Craigslist or eBay, you contact the person and arrange payment offline. The PayPal button is just a nice addition to facilitate the process. If they don't have PayPal, then they have to handle payment another way.

Ah ok, that put's me in a completely different frame of mind for this.
Thanks alot!

No problem. :)

I am sorry, I don't understand your question.

I used your template changes to show their Classified ratings on their profile. But not all of my usergroups have access to the Classifieds, so a user without access would obviously have a rating of 0. What I want to do is if the user is in a group that does not have permission to use the classifieds, can the profile field be set to not show the stats?

I just finished installing this... Awesome job!! I am using this one plus the vbay script. They are both great to have for a wide variety of thing...

A year ago I was dreaming of a mod like this! Now I install 2 perfect examples in 15 minutes time....... Gotta love this whole plug in system...

Thanks again..

Feel free to take a look here if you have not installed it.. http://www.talkandmore.net/sr_classifieds.php?

I just "bought" an item via my ads (using Paypal) but the ad is still active. Did I miss a step of the setup, or did I misunderstand something? i thought once Paypal was used, the ad was removed from the DB. But now that I think about it, that would require Paypal IPN, so I am probably wrong in my assumptions and the seller has to remove the ad once it's been sold -- correct?

Is there an option to only allow set user groups to list ?

Yet still let other groupd view only?

excellent add on just 1 problem for us is that the paypal is a .com

we are UK based and would like .co.uk so we are using our own currency is there a way to change this

thanks

The feedback is kept in the user table so as the script is written there is no special query needed to show this. To make it so that the database would be searched for rights to use the classifieds would add an extra process that is not in the script (as you mentioned).

The lite version does not have IPN... IPN is built into the vBClassified script however... The process of interacting with the payment processor requires a lot of extra work such as creating a unique invoice, passing the values to paypal, and getting the result back from paypal. Then, there is the issue of dealing with uncleared payments (e-checks). The premium version does all of this but the lite one does not.

Not currently... the lite version allows you to disable access but when they have access they can sell.

The PayPal code is in the ViewAd template so you can edit this to what you need. You would need to verify that the rest of the data sent to paypal matches the layout in the template as written but I would not expect that you would have problems.

Now, I assume your UK paypal addresses would work with the paypal.com domain, right?

many thanks paypal all sorted now to a UK account :up:

Can you have sub catogorys please?

Quarterbore ~ If a user is deleted, will all of their ads be deleted as well?

Not in the lite version... This is small script and adds little overhead. vBClassified has subcats if you really need them.

No, the system would not delete the ad and I need to do a test to verify the impact of a user deletion. I will try to test soon and post an update if this causes errors.

Thank you. I'm also interested in making sure that if a user is moved to a usergroup without classified access that their ads are immediately closed. I haven't tested yet to see that this happens, but I am assuming they don't. :)

Another issue I am having. I haven't uploaded any images for the categories (don't want any) so now it's just showing the dreaded red X where the image should be. It's just a blank src="" in the source code. Is there a way to fix the templates so if no image is specified, it doesn't display the src code at all?

Thanks again!

great mod! I am curious though can we change the link button name from "SR Classifieds" to our own custom name such as "GF Clasifieds" www.guelphsfinest.com and ifso were would we change this?



Mark,

It's done through the Language controls.

I'm ashamed to ask this but i haven't an answer to a member's question about the paypal address. What to fill in there when they want to trade/sell something?

Leave it blank.

What would cause sr classifieds to not show up on vb admincp . Everything is installed and I can get to the classified page but I have no way to add/delete categories etc.

Ok.. I'm not a dummy..but sure feeling like one at the moment.

I get this when trying the link in the forum...

admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

..............

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks.

ok just a question. Did you set the usergroup permissions?

it's been set from before. It's not a new forum.
So all permissions are set.

Am I supposed to set them else where?

Found it thanks.... just needed to think a minute.

well I had the problem and I just went into usergroups/usergroup manager and set the classifieds manager permissions.

Now if my question could be answered...lmfao

Ok..i got everything to work..I hope ..except this problem.

I don't upload image I get this..on top of page.
...............
Warning: getimagesize(./sr_classifieds/uploaded/noimage.gif) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /sr_classifieds.php on line 617

I try to upload image I get this on top of page.

And this VB Message....

Could not find phrase 'sr_classifieds_upload_failed'.

Re-Set your image sizes in vb, I used to get those. But was told to edit image sizes..Look in past post, its there somewhere...Or go to vbclassifieds.com to get assistance from the owner of this. He will help you out, check through his forum to look for your situation.


EDIT
Re-read readme...looks like you forgot something

Did you try refreshing the left frame of your Admin CP? There should be a link there with all of the options you need.

QuarterBore ~ Is there no way for a user to easily see all of the ads they've created? I've been looking around, but can't find anything. I believe this is a very important feature to have because when someone sells something, they should be able to quickly get back to their ad without having to remember where they posted it, etc.

Also, I've noticed that when you view an ad, it does not tell you anywhere on the ad what category you are in, nor does it give you a breadcrumb link back to that category. Is this something that could be added with a simple template change?

yes I refreshed it. I still have no options. Im pretty sure I did everything according to the read me .
