Thx for the info, pm system is working. also i have one question, what options should be able to be edited while editing an auction?

Is the PM system new? As in just added within the last 12hrs? How do I get it working?

Editing - Should be able to edit any part of the auction up until the point a bid is made. I'm no coding guy but I should think that an "if/then" query could take care of it.

If there is a bid, description should not be editable. (Is that possible?)

Or all in all just do not allow description to be editable.

-Paypal support will kick this one up as a mod.
-Image Support

But you've already heard all of that.

Well.

I look forward for completion, willing to pay when it comes out too.

PM system has been out for a bit, it will automaticly pm the seller and buyer on completion of auction.

Thanks for the info guys :D

Really looking forward to this being completed. I'd be more than willing to pay for a finished version as it has tons of potential!
:)

I ran a test auction after I installed it, and instead of being over, it now says time left: -1D 10H 13M 6S and no PM has been sent out to either seller or buyer. Did I miss something during the installation? TIA!

I seemed to have missed somthing, for some reason the cron is not running every 10 minutes.. To into your schedualed tasks and see when your Close Auctions task is running. somone said it was only running every sunday or somthing o.O

Thanks! It was set for Sundays at 00.00 so that was probably it! Will try a new test now before I go live :)

hmm. i think i accadently set it to sunday in an older version, andif you upgraded it probably didnt overwrite the cron, so it was still at sunday. it seems to be correct in the newest version, or am i wrong? :-/

Hi!

Thanks a lot for this mod. I've been extending it with SEO and AJAX features.

Btw, I would recomend to spend some time on learning to optimize MySQL as it's not very fast right now, I needed to rewrite most of it ;)

thx for the reccommendation, i havent read any books or looked at any tutorials on php or mysel, i just kind of taught myself :D

Well since you did spend the time to rework it and get it to run faster would you mind sharing with the rest of us with the permission of the author? The author would do good to look threw the changes to learn whats going on. And the rest of us can benefit from your work...

What exactly have you done to it anyhow....lol

Hi!

I changed a lot, also the admin. More integration into vBulletin and also functions specificly for selling parrots. (see screenshot)

To work with the code will cost a few days 12+ hours per day so I don't know if the author has time for it or is interested in it at all ;)

It also uses some advanced technology that requires PHP 5.2 and since vBSEO requires Zend Optimizer and PHP5.2 and Zend Optimizer has a fatal bug (returning 404 errors randomly by a segmentation fault) and also other functions require advanced knowledge of Javascript and AJAX I don't know if the author is interested or able to do it (as then it might cost weeks to do it).

But I am willing to share some of the code if he is interested.

Btw one anti-hacking tip which is really important to know:

Users are able to execute MySQL queries if you do not escape posted data. E.g. if you have the folowing query:

Then a user could alter the code by submitting the folowing text:

Resulting in a return of all data. But also more harmfull queries could be performed like DROP TABLE or DROP DATABASE etc.

To protect against this, simply use the PHP function addslashes():

Wow that looks great, if you were to send code to me (which i would greatly appreciate) i would need to remove the SEO, because not everyone uses it. but yea, i would greatly benefiet from the code, it seems you have completed some aspects i have failed, (nice wysiwyg BTW.)

oh, and click install :D

Hi, hereby some of the code.

Please note, you did not yet use the vBulletin Phrase system. I have fully converted the script to use vBulletin phrases so you will need to add them to your product.

Thanks for the info, its going to be hard without some of the templates though :D

Where did you get your javascript for the WYSIWYG editor? or did you make that?

I installed Vbay and it works in every way but, how do we upload pictures to the auction?

Mark,

Image function not yet implimented

random question for SEO, why did you make your own dotip2long when you can just use the default php ip2long()?

Never mind, i see its not even being used.

but i do have nother question, i do not know how SEO works, but how would i go about removing it.

Hi!

I think it's best to folow your own plan, and just use my code as reference.

The editor is the vBulletin default editor.

Best Regards,
Jan Jaap

Do you think you intrgrate paypal in to this like ebay? I'd pay for a paypal version!

Hi!

I've already implemented it. Users are already able to pay via PayPal for paid ads (e.g. when they add a link it will cost 2.50 euro).

My MSN is adultseo@gmail.com

description's editor does appear on the page

does or does not.

Ive installed it but its not showing up on the nav bar or anywhere else can you help?

You will need to install it manually by editing your Navbar template.

how do I do that? Sorry for asking but this hack looks amazing!

go to your template manager and edit the template called 'navbar'.

hi all, im looking for an auction script to run on my site to make some money for charaty... does this script work ok for biddin? buy it now is not needed as its a auction for charaty.

this will work just fine :D

ok cool.. was just unsure as its beta at moment

Im not to sure what code to put in to nav bar template!

Go in your ACP > navbar template

find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>

Below add:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbay.php$session[sessionurl_q]">vbay</a></td>

Any news on when we might be able to use pictures?

Great mod! I have it installed and it seems to work great.

However, the three tables on my "Help" page for vBay turn out black bg with black lettering so you can't read it. Im no PHP buff at all but I tried simple HTML to make bg white and font black and when I previewd it things looked fine, but when I save and check it on my live site its still black on black. Any help would be appreciated.

it is probably an issue with your css, are you using a customized template?

is there any way I can charge members to sell there stuff?

Yeah I am but I dont know enough about coding to know where to begin to look to fix it.

If its the main page of the vbay try <img src="images/misc/paypal_verified.gif" width="100" height="100" this worked for me

rather than <img src="http://yoursite.com/images/misc/etc"
