Major Additions - microCLASSIFIEDS (General Classifieds)

*** Link Removed ***

[vwcaddy]

Hi,

I have a question to Maria or anyone who has installed the free or pro version:

When a new ad is posted or when it has been replied to, does this show in the "whats new or new posts"???

The reason I ask is that I have a lot of traffic through my current classifieds which is basically a forum classifieds, nothing else. Some months back I wanted to improve the look and feel on my VB3.8 of the classifieds so I paid for the photopost classifieds, and my members HATED it purely because the ads did not show on "new posts" and the integration was poor :down:

So does this hack show in new posts :up:

Or not :down:

Cheers

Al

I can't find a 'Newest Classifieds' widget anywhere. Do you have a link?

Pro version.
Newest Classifieds unit is directly under the block Search Classifieds.

I installed it to my test site to have a play, I was hoping that when the forum "new posts" tab was hit that new classifieds would also show, but thats not the case

I dont mind the spending the cost of the pro version, but it not showing in the forum search is a backwards step imo:down:

Are you saying that the classified posts should show up as a forum post?

I don't think this is a desirable feature as you would be mixing e-commerce with your site content, which could significantly clutter your content search.

The Classifieds is designed to be a separate area of your site, and it has its own search box.

Perhaps this wish you have emerged from the love of Photopost classifieds? But this is not normal to mix business functions with the forum, is not it?

I agree, new classified ads should show under the "What's New" tab. Or at least we should have the option of displaying them. However, I also agree they should not show up as new posts, since they aren't posts.

Pro version.
Newest Classifieds unit is directly under the block Search Classifieds.

I'd still like to see this "newest Classifieds" block in the forum. I've looked at all the demo forums I can find and I don't see anything like this.

I still cant figure out how to fix this:

admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


Can someone please write out exact steps. I am somewhat new to vb anyway...

Thanks - All help appreciated.

Fix what? What are you trying to do? Since you posted this in a mod thread I guess it has something to do with this mod, but I have no idea what.
