First of all many apologies for the delay in replying, I don't seem to be getting notifications of the new posts...

I would like to see each listing be a thread/posted in a forum. And the comments being posts.

I'm assuming this isn't how it works but I wanted to check prior to buying. We need something that allows us to run a "forum" as a classifieds category.

'Partly' is the answer to your question. We have integration where a thread is created for new listings. But it isn't that the listing is run from there. It allows a form of discussion if you want it. In version 2 we're looking at allowing comments both public and private within the listing itself. Not sure if that will help with you situation or not.

A couple more questions.

Has anybody figured out how to make a widget to show the latest classifieds in the CMS?

For the postage settings, is there not a way that the user can enter the amount for UPS, FedEx and etc. per ad?

Thanks. This mod looks very promising.

OK..I'm sorry but I've got one more question also. Where the heck do the blocks inherit their style variables from? For example, the "Seller Information" block? I have no other blocks or anything on my forum or CMS that have a solid red background. Where is it coming from?

Much of the box structure comes from the StyleVars associated with the Sidebar. That might help in future.

Widgets are a planned feature of version 2.

Also, just in case somebody else runs into it. I started getting a lot of database errors. They were caused by a very temporary install off OzzModz Classifieds. If you have ever installed that one and find, like I did, that it doesn't meet your needs. Just clicking "uninstall" doesn't cut it. You will have to manually remove the files that you uploaded. Not a big deal but maybe it will help somebody else.

So, still need to know if there is a place to configure more ad types. Buy, Sell, Trade, Auction, etc. Is that a manual template edit? Surprises me.

Does anybody know the code to create a widget? I thought maybe it didn't need one when I saw the sidebar display option but I'm not getting anything there.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Changing the names is possible if you put vBulletin into debug mode which reveals the Manage Listing Types page in the AdminCP. You can access it directly by navigating to the page /dbtclassifieds.php?do=listingtypes in your ACP folder.

At the moment we have the three listing types and we are developing more options in version 2 (working on them right at this moment) so we should have more available. If there aren't any to what you need listed over at www.dragonbyte-tech.com, feel free to post some suggestions for us to take a look at.

one thing i've noticed tho, i've changed the settings to allow non registered users to view the listings but for some reason we can actually view it without an account on our site. any reason for this?
here is the listing

I'll take a look to see if there is an issue. Have you set the usergroup permissions for just Classifieds? It might be if you've restricted access globally that you could have issues (i.e. banned them from the whole site).
