Installed, and running it in admin-only mode now.
I just seem to have trouble with my thumbnails. Only a red X shown. In the database, the thumbdata field is empty. I tried taking a peek at the vbaytn.php page, but saw nothing out of the ordinary in there.
Also tried rerunning the vbaytn page with the simple_reset option for the specific item, but no luck with that either.
Any pointers? I tried turning on logging to file in order to hopefully get more info, but nothing there, either
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Some nice extra features I'd love:
- Easily adjust the address fields. Took me quite some time to manually edit out everything to suit my needs.
- Ability to adjust an auction as long as no bids were made yet.
- Subcategories
- Ability to add displayorder to categories
- Starting price should be possible to bid while no bids made yet (I suspect I can handle this myself)
- Move thumbnails and images to the filesystem, or better support for galleries
Other than that, works fine for now, with the exception of the thumbnails not shoiwng up.
Edit2:
Tried with a different picture, and that worked fine. Maybe it's only due to my first image being .bmp? Will have to test a bit more later.
Edit3:
When the bmp image was converted to JPG, the thumbnail showed up. I ended up removing bmp from the allowed image types.
I also managed to hack the mod a little so it is now possible to actually bid the startprice rather than the startprice + inc only (if you want to do this yourself, edit vbay.php and look for:
Code:
$lowest_bid = $item['price'] + $item['inc'];
Change to:
Code:
if($item[bids] == 0) {
$lowest_bid = $item['price'];
} else {
$lowest_bid = $item['price'] + $item['inc'];
}
And another edit further down. Look for:
Code:
if ($item['price'] + $item['inc'] > $vbulletin->GPC['bid']) {
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbay_bid_higher')));
}
if ($item['bids'] > 0) {
Replace with:
Code:
if ($item['bids'] > 0) {
if ($item['price'] + $item['inc'] > $vbulletin->GPC['bid']) {
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbay_bid_higher')));
}
I *think* that does the trick, though I might have made a template change as well. Sorry for not being more clear than that, but I've been editing and tidying up the code and adjusting it for my personal needs (which, due to being virtual items included removing all references of shipping and external payments, were quite substantial).
Should you be trying this and my solution turns out not to be complete, please let me know and I will see if I can find the rest.
I also am trying to see if I can finish up the BuyOut option, which does not work as intended atm (i.e. if I create an auction with a startbid of 1, a reserve of 10, a buyout of 100 and an increment of 1, it's possible to straight away after creation hit buyout. The closing price then will be 2 (or 1 after the change above), rather than 100, and you'll see a message stating the reserve was not met).
