Thanks Blaine. I reverted my main and new auction templates, and the uploader shows now. Then I readded the edits I had made after....works great!

Only thing I cant find now is the option to change the amount of allowed uploads? I checked vBulletin options and a vBay options, it is not coming up for some reason. I uploaded the new files too.

Same glitch as SLP LS1 post #616 - Images don't show up in the item auction window.
Store attachments on the filesystem, not in the database. Could this be the problem?
When deleting an auction thru vBay ACP, item is deleted but get temp displayed message "Could not find phrase 'vb_auction_deleted'" during the process.
Totally pretentious vBay Settings placed above vBulletin Options in the ACP. Poor approach.
Running vB368, upgraded from vBay V1.1.0, DID revert to the new vBay templates.

hmm, odd.
Images in the file system is waaaaay to complicated for me as i have no clue how, and storing them as actual files would not work because you need to deal with filenames and chmodding and all that good stuff.. and yeah i forgot that phrase lol.. sorry..

heh ill change that next time.

Images don't show up in the item auction window.

Hmm, if you can do something for me, check your vbay_images table, and see if all fields are filled out (data, auctionid, id, ect)

That would be helpful because then I could see if the images arent being displayed or if they arent being uploaded.

When you get this working with paypal etc let me know I will be more than happy to donate to your hard work on this. Could we get a feature for an insertion fee?

*Clicks installed*

First of all, thanks for the simple yet effective module... I like it Mucho much
Translated all the templates to Dutch, and took out some options I dont use.

Can I request some changes I hope to see in next version?

- In the admin settings a way to order the Category's
- Option to make sub-category's
- A option in MY VBAY to let a member change theyre own Selling items. (images & description)
- VBay send a mail or PM on a bid (this works already, shame on me hehehe...)
- A better way to resize the images / thumbnail (like http://vikjavev.no/highslide )

But love it so far.. am making some modifications on my site, and hope to get the highslide working....

Thanks!

How should i do this.. should i ask for locale in the admincp and then get information accordingly?

[Saudi Zoom]

great job but there is a smal problem wich is when i enter a ( ' ) in the "street address" field i got this error:

PHP Code:

Invalid SQL:
update user set vbayaddress = 'saudi's street,city,SA,Country,1234' where userid='2'; 


any why its installed :up:

[Wild Bronco]

I upgraded and everything works like a charm.

What about translation.
I see some prhases can't be found Home, Sell etc...

Is it hard to put them all under Phrase Type: vbay?
It sorts of saves me the trouble to look all

If possible I would like to be able to hide higest bidder name on index.

Thank you verry much for all your time on this

[Blaine0002]

Yeah ive been lazy i admit

I will make everything phrases in the next version..

@saudi thx for the bug report.
