Hi everyone,
This week brings the first major update of
DragonByte Classifieds (v1.1.0 Beta 1) Which includes 9 major changes and features as well as some bug fixes to existing features. Among the key updates included are extra notifications using the vBulletin notification system, options for randomizing the listings appearing in the advert boxes, JavaScript rotation of listings appearing in any of the advert boxes, Listing Views tracking, and two new Pro only features, an optional Auto Post a New Thread/Post on submitting a listing and a Seller's Items box that can be set to appear in a user's post footer in forum threads.
The new features are designed to enhance some of the core content and make the listings more visible to user's across the forums. We have appreciated all the feedback and suggestions that have been posted and with more updates planned we hope to include made more of the excellent suggestions that have been made. Please note that this is a
Beta release and so there may well be bugs that need addressing. Any feedback on functionality and issues that you can all provide will help us immensely.
The full list of changes in v1.1.0 Beta 1 can be found below.
Remember, we have installed the latest Beta of Classifieds here on DBTech. We have created some 'fake' items and have left PayPal in Sandbox mode so that no real money changes hands allowing anyone to test how the system works. We look forward to your feedback. Go here for the latest listings:
View Listings - DragonByte Tech | vBulletin Mods & Addons.
To create a PayPal Sandbox account you need to head over to this page:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps...tions/accounts. Once you login with your regular PayPal account you can then create a sandbox testing account to use to 'purchase' the items on our Classifieds.
