Has the ability to add pictures been resolved yet? I just uploaded this to my test vb and there's nothing where there normally is to add pictures like my members can in posts.

If I missed the info elsewhere I apologize but I did try search and all I could find is that it was coming out soon and that was quite a while ago now.

ETA:

how can i add trader rep and the buy it now feature
also how can i edit the vbay_main phrase

Hi, there may be an easier way (I'm still learning this stuff) but I found it this way:
Languages & phrases > Search phrases > Search for: vbay_main
FWIW I checked "Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name".. you can edit the words to what you want from there.

ok, seems noone is working on this so I will try and fix some bugs as we go and release them back to this thread slowly as we go.

If anyone has the issue of item counts with categories being wrong then please use the attached vbay.php -> upload and replace.

anyone having an issue uploading images? Thats next on my list to fix.

What can be done to integrate the Itrader percent points behind the seller name ?
I have tried to add the code from showing the itrader points in profile but it doesn't works.

I know this question has been asked for many times but i couldn't find any answer. So, is it possible to add the percent points from itrader ? Any Idea ???

THANKS !! IT FIXED IT

Sledgehammer.... it may be possible to do this. You want the itrader values to be visible next to the seller name on the item, right?

Ace!! The counts will still be off in the admin section but at least the front end is working so far.

Is anyone getting image upload errors?

No worries paul!

I have fixed the image uploading issues and also added the ability to use decimals when setting prices for buyitnow and shipping values. Also removed several unnessesary queries from vbay.php

Expect an update soon.

If you want any specific fixes, then please let me have the details of the problem.

Rob,

No problems. To be honest i havent played as much as i should have done yet, however i havent seen any problems either!. the only thing i would suggest was:

Also, i dont know if this already exists, but how about the option where you can have an unlimited time posted. Therefore this would mean that people can use it as a "classifieds" site and advertise something as a buy it now without a time limit to the auction...

However, thats not a bug and doesnt need "fixing" as such lol

I'll try to have a play this week and see if i can break it, just for ya

I have been in contact with blaine and he is extremely stretched. He barely has time to finish his paid work let alone this mod, but he is still working on it and has supplied me with a test url to see how it's going.

For all those who have said this mod support is abandoned then you are not totally right.... it's more paused.

I dont mind stepping up and supporting this mod as best I can whilst we wait for the other version and blaine has no problems with that.
