Integration with vBulletin - Integrated Classifieds Plugin - by Panjo

As of September 2015, the Panjo marketplace mod for vBulletin has been completely rearchitected.

You can learn more about the latest version of the mod on Panjo's vBulletin partner page.

This mod enables you to launch a peer-to-peer community marketplace that is integrated into your vBulletin forum.

Here is how it works:
1) Install the plugin.
2) Customize the categories you want in your marketplace.
3) Contact Chad at Panjo: chad@panjo.com to activate your marketplace.
4) When a seller goes to a new or old subforum dedicated to buying/selling/trading, and clicks on the "post new thread" button, the mod will load a listing creation form.
5) The seller will create a listing. The listing will appear in the marketplace. A synchronized copy of the listing will appear in the appropriate buy/sell/trade subforum.

Is this plugin free?
Yes, this plugin is free.

Can you make money with this plugin?
Yes, you can optionally use this plugin to generate marketplace transaction revenue.

How is it with mobile?
The marketplace loads with layouts that are optimized for high res desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Examples:
Porsche Marketplace <syncs with> Porsche classifieds subforum
BMW Marketplace <syncs with> BMW classifieds subforums
Audi Marketplace <syncs with> Audi classifieds subforums
Belly dancing marketplace <syncs with> Belly dancing classifieds subforums

Piece of crap. I really don't understand why they are allowed to have a listing on this site when they don't give everyone a Market Id. I think with this attitude this is a big risk for using them for your classifieds. Better to use PhotoPost or vbcover software.

Thanks for this feedback. At this time, the plugin only supports listings in USD (US dollars) and can only process payments in USD. Penguinboy, to the best of our understanding, your site needs currency support beyond USD. That feature is coming soon. We had to start somewhere with this plugin. We are thrilled that you are so interested in the plugin. We regret that it can't do everything that every community owner wants... yet. As our change log demonstrates, we are rapidly adding to the plugins capabilities on a weekly basis. We take all community owners' input seriously. And have to prioritize all requests for this free plugin. We are happy to supply a marketplace id to anyone who wants one. At the same time, we want to make sure we can add value to the communities using the plugin.

That is not what your email to me says. You will only give this to companies in the US. If trades are done on my site it's done by Expats in US dollars. Again I wonder why this thread is allowed on this site if users can use it for free. Again for less bs it's better to use PhotoPost Classifieds or vbcovers product. Once I have time to review both I will purchase one or the other. I really have trouble understanding why you are allowed to post on this site when you pick and choice who can use your product.

Sorry my mistake they only want to deal with large partners.

Hi Derek,

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we'll be able to help you in the foreseeable future. Our focus right now is on working with a few large partners in the US. Once the product matures, we'll be able to properly serve international customers.

We've added you to our contact list and will be reaching out when you when we're ready. We're very sorry we were not able to help you out today.

Sincerely,
Juan Vasconez
Head of Product @ Enthusify

This plugin provides a community running on the vBulletin software platform with PCI (payment card industry) compliant payment processing. For the time being, that requires us to manually issue marketplace IDs for communities who want to use the plugin. We are working on a fully automated self-service set up for forum owners. In the meantime, we get lots of requests from around the world for the plugin. At present, as has been stated above, the plugin displays prices in US dollars and if a seller chooses to use the included, optional payment processing, the plugin processes payments in US dollars. It also displays many options in English only. Our initial review of your site led us to believe that we wouldn't be able to add value to your community. We did not realize that your site for expats in China would be in English and would transact in US dollars. Thus, the Enthusify plugin would work for your community. You seem to have moved on. We are sorry we made a few false assumptions and misjudged the value we could provide to your community. Please know that if you want a marketplace id you are welcome to have one. We were simply trying to look out for your time.

New features:

1. You can now subscribe to automatic updates for future releases of the Enthusify vBulletin plugin. Today, if Enthusify releases a feature with tight vBulletin integration, it often requires a vBulletin admin to update the plugin. With the auto update feature, you automatically get the latest version of the vBulletin plugin and always benefit from the latest features and bug fixes. With this enhancement, Enthusify can now deploy features you requested to more tightly integrate the marketplace into vBulletin without any administrative overhead on your part.
2. We added a toggle to the “Enthusify Settings” to allow you to opt out of Automatic Updates.
3. We added a link in the “Listing Details” to the corresponding thread for that item in the forum.
4. New users can now hit “enter” to connect their account once they submit their email. Previously a user had to click the continue button with a mouse click.
5. We increased account registration security. We eliminated a feature that allowed a member of two forums on the Panjo network to connect his/her account without email verification. The lack of an email verification step could have resulted in a nefarious user finding a way to compromise a seller's listings.
6. The Postbit link option in the “Enthusify Settings” has been significantly improved.
7. The "Items for sale" link in a member's postbit template only displays if a member has an item listed for sale in the marketplace.
8. Existing sellers will need to cancel, mark as sold, sell an item, or list something new for sale in order for their link to activate.

Bug fixes:

1. Fixed a conflict with the plugin “The Image Resizer” that prevented the “Buy Now” button in the thread post versions of the listings from connecting a buyer to the checkout page.
2. Fixed a bug where the “list view” and “grid view” buttons sometimes didn’t work
3. Fixed a bug that impacted the loading location of 'lightboxes' for rare browser/screen resolution situations.
4. Fixed a bug that asked some sellers to connect their PayPal account even if the seller was not using Enthusify to collect, verify, and transfer payment.
5. Fixed a rare rounding error in “Item Has Sold” emails that sellers receive.
6. Fixed an issue that was blocking the thread post versions of seller's listings due to title limits, image upload limits, or character limits.
7. Fixed an issue that was placing the thread post versions of seller's listing in the moderation queue by the built-in vBulletin moderation filters. This fix does not necessarily address moderation filters from third-party plugins.

Please keep your input coming. We love delivering the features you request.

"Published on Wed, 22/05/2013 - 14:22pm"

Please advise on how to change this colour.

Thanks

I just tried importing the .xml files and it says that it's not compatible with 4.2 and only works with versions up to 4.1.12, this was the product-extended_navigations-v1.xml

I'm using version 4.2.1
