For some reason it is just using the stylevar options from vBulletin. Here I have lots of custom css in the additional.css file. Is there a way to make the mod work with this .css files?

Hello.

I like some of the features of your add-on, though others need a bit of work. I'm interested to know what makes your PRO version worth $100, when I can have this version for free? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm really curious what the difference is, that justifies this cost.

One significant concern I have, is that you seem to have so MUCH going on at once, developing several software products simultaneously, and I'm unsure whether you'll devote the time required to work the kinks out of this one to my satisfaction. I don't mind paying for quality, but I need assurance that the developer is working in my best interest, and actively addressing my concerns.

Couple of questions about the free version:

• Is there a way for the admin to disable shipping options and payment options? I'd like to just use this for local ads, without shipping, and want the buyer to pay the seller in person, and leave me out of that process.
• Is there a way for the admin to disable the currency/weight/dimensions?
• Is there a way to remove seller type, this will only be for individuals not stores.
• Is there a way to run an ad indefinately, like for advertising SERVICES, or anything else without an end date? It is annoying seeing an end date at the top of the ad, can this be disabled? (Time restraints make sense with AUCTIONS, but not with regular classified ads. An individual is going to run their ad until they sell their product.) I have no desire to facilitate auctions.

It would be nice if there were a thumbnail or graphic to indicate when there is an attachment. It is easy to miss the test link currently.

I really like the fact that your software is fully integrated with vB, and makes good use of the style and space in the listing (category) interface, as opposed to PhotoPost currently.

I like PhotoPosts' actual ad display better than yours, because of its simplicity and use of photos, but they have totally dropped the ball on the vB4 transition and list of classified sections looks like a big clunky block of forums (with padding problems). I really like your cute, tidy little folder directory much better. I wish you and PP would work together on building one ultimate classified platform, but I know that's not going to happen. I need to purchase one or the other within the next week, sadly I'm not fully satisfied with either at the moment.

I need to clearly understand what is possible with your software, and what isn't. What I can configure as an admin, and what just "is what it is". I also need to understand how open you are to suggestions from your customers, and whether or not you will customize your product to their liking.

I also am confused about how to purchase your PRO version, and what that includes.

vB4-CLASSIFIEDS $10.00 20 5 $100.00
Installation $2.00 0 0 $20.00
5 Support Points $3.50 25 5 $25.00

Does SUPPORT cost an additional $25 AFTER paying $100 for your product?

Hoping to hear back from you soon. Thanks!

I don't think she is supporting this free version anymore due to being busy. She will only support you if you get the PRO version.

From my understanding, I could be wrong

If that is the case, then she needs to mark this mod as "unsupported".

Thanks for the feedback. If she doesn't respond, then she doesn't get my money. Better to learn that BEFORE I pay! lol

Nothing in common. The PRO version has at least 20+ additional features, including support for wanted and auction type classifieds. Also the price contents Brand Free something that other companies cost at least $35, don't mentioning PHP Classifieds which costs it $129!!. But what increases the cost is a simple word: SUPPORT.

Since some days now, I'm not working alone, but with Micheal from vb-hacks.com who will be responsible for supporting my mods and also port the most popular of them to vB3. From the other side, I've prototype my work, so 70% of the files of a new mod, is a 5 min work for a global search and replace of the new filename and database name. If you give a closer look to my code you'll see that I'm always using the same style and name in my code, eg ..._items, .._item_photos, ...._item_files etc etc.

Sorry the support for the free version is limited to installation issued only. But just a simple help you can do them by reming them from the templates.

I've active license for PhotoPost since April 2002 when it was a Perl (and not PHP) script. Still waiting from Scott (if he still exists in the company), to resolve my problem with Greek characters.

I haven't finished yet my shop. In any case:
$100 is the cost
$10 is the money credits that you'll get for your next order of any product
20 are the points that you're getting. You can use these points to "buy" special mods for my clients only. No more free mods here.
Currently forget the support points. When I'll start using them, the price of microCLASSIFIEDS will drop to around $50 with forum support. If someone needs ticketing support (fasten) the he must buy support points. But as I said, this not currently active.

1.- Support for free mods, is limited to installation issues. Actually template modifications, nobody supports even in commercial scripts. All scripts are coming "as is" on interface.

2.- I can prove that I gave support even for other than installation issues, to those who came to my site and asked for it, or even to those who email me (not PMs). Have you seen how many mods do I have here? Do you think that, even if I'm willing to support them, is easy to move from thread to thread?

3.- "If she doesn't respond, then she doesn't get my money.". I never accepted in my 32 years business life, "if" conditions. Especially, being a woman, I have faced lots of different types of "if....". So, please keep your money safe in your pocket, I don't need even a single cent, but if you want to use the PRO version, I'll be more than happy to give you a license for free. It will not be the first time that I'm giving away license for free, and many members can prove it.
