We released the latest version of the vBulletin classifieds mod. This version, 1.4.0, includes a few performance enhancements. This version also addresses an issue for forums running on servers configured to block the allow_url_fopen php function. Updated: August 2, 2012.

We released a new feature today that allows you to add a widget to your forum that highlights the listings in the enthusify-powered marketplace. Here is a screen shot of the widget from the Acura NSX classifieds section:

Interesting, I see the front end working on 3.8.7. Would there be a branding-free option?

At this time we do not have a branding-free option.

The search results page and the listing pages contain a 'badge' in the upper center space and a 'badge' in the lower left corner. There are some security reasons we do that. Most forums don't have a SSL (secure socket layer). In order to provide buyers and sellers with secure transaction pages, we use our SSL over the enthusify.com domain. The badges serve as a way for your member to know that they are on the same platform. The system also kicks out automated emails related to buying and selling. For example, when a seller's item sells, the system emails the seller to let them know about the successful sale. Those emails come from Enthusify's mail server. We thus want the member to recognize the email as valid and not spam.

Based on requests from our partners we do have an upcoming release that will introduce more co-branding opportunities. The emails and SSL pages already reference the parent forum by name.

We understand the desire for even more branding options - but the more design flexibility we provide the less reliable the software becomes as it becomes difficult to test across multiple versions of vBulletin running with multiple combinations of plugins running in multiple kinds of server environments. Hence some of the imposed uniformity.

Here is what the co-branding looks like:

Nice, by any change would this work for vb 4?

Absolutely! The Enthusify classifieds plugin for vBulletin works in vBulletin 4.x:

You can see the Enthusify marketplace mod running in 4.x here:

Just shoot us an email with your forum URL so that we can issue you a marketplace id and security key that you need to run the plugin. (chad@enthusify.com)

Thanks a lot, been waiting for something like this in ages.

I will try it out sometime :)

New vBulletin classifieds plugin release today from Enthusify.

The latest version of the plugin, 1.4.3, can optionally create a new thread for each listing in the Enthusify marketplace in a subforum of your choice.

This release also fixes a few bugs and provides some performance enhancements.

New feature released today: power sellers can now sell multiple of an item with administrator approval. This means that if a seller has 10 or 100 of an item, the seller can create one listing using the Enthusify marketplace plugin and sell out his/her item from that single listing.

You can find new features in Enthusify's vBulletin classifieds mod:
1) New option to generate revenue for your forum from successful sales.
DETAILS: You set a fee in the form of a flat % that you wish to retain from each successful sale.
2) New cobranding options - you can now add a header image. (not THAT big of a deal - but frequently requested)
3) New promotional options for listings.

NEXT: the option to display listings in a photo-centric tile view.
