Major Additions - Classifieds

Removed by the Author because:

• For 7 mods, there are 1905 downloads but only 577 clicked installed.
• For these 577 installs I got 4 donations for Brand Free. Make a simple search on the net using the product name and you'll find that 50% have illegally removed my copyright.
• I found 3 vb.org style sites, offering for download my mods but after PAID SUBSCRIPTION, or DONATION

After all, I'll stop be the idiot on this market.

2.- Installation

1. Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
2. CMOD the following directories to 777
   1. /photos (inside classifieds directory)
   2. /tmp (inside classifieds/photos directory)
   3. /thumbs (inside classifieds/photos directory)
3. For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
4. Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
5. From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_classifieds.xml
6. If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template:
   Search For:
   Code:
   <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
   Add Below:
   Code:
   <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="classifieds.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Classifieds</a></td>
   ....or use any other word you want
7. By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbfclassifieds, so you need to give permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
8. If you've installed vbSEO, Login into vbSEO Control Panel, click "Custom Rewrite Rules", insert rewrite rules (attached in vbseo-rules.txt to not lose formatting) and save settings.

1. You can modify the code as you like to meet your special needs
2. You can distribute this code, but NOT FOR PROFIT
3. My copyright link must remain always visible.
4. I'm not accepting donations
5. There is no commercial version. This is the one.

5.- Copyright Removal

For those who want to remove my link back which appears at the page's footer, they must contact me. Please note that the the license goes by person and not by domain, so you can use it in as many domains are operating by the same person.


Greetings

As I posted in the screen shot above, I've enabled everything, given myself permissions as both an admin and in every other usergroup I have but still cannot save a new ad.

I also logged in as just a registered user to try it and same result.

Seems that for some reason during the time that you're writting the Ad, you're loosing the session (you logout by the system). At that part, and for more security, there are 2 permissions checks. One during entering the form (which you pass it) and the 2nd when the system is trying to save the data. Seems that at this point the system can't authenticate you.

Could you please PM your URL to try to post an Ad?

This is an interesting mod but can somebody tell me if there are expiration times for the ads. Can you set, for example, 30 days after which the ads will automatically be deleted?

Yes...

When you create your categories, you can set the following:

Action on Item expiration

Hide or Delete

Number of days after which ad expires (0 = no expiration)

In this category only



then when actually creating/placing an ad:

Expires at (laeve empty for no expiration):

choose your date for expiration


So I would think the best choice might be to set the category setting to something like 30 days and then individual ads to 7, 14, etc....

Well, I've got this installed and added a category to test. I have my usergroup set to allow me to post an ad but am having the same problem as the poster above. When I try to "save" my ad, I too get the "no permissions" error. Usergroup is set to allow me to do so but it's not working. I'm running 3.8.1.

I've registered to his site, but still I'm waiting his authorization to be able to login and check it. If you want me to check your, PM me or post here your URL.

This is an awesome add on. I got it installed and working great. I do have a question for other users of this add on.
Does anyone know if there is a way to show the newest ad's say the last 3 or 4 on the home page of a VbAvanced website? Similar to the Newest column shown in the classifieds screen showing the little picture of the item.

If I'll have some free time I'll post blocks for vBa next weekend. But in general, you can use the query including in classifieds.php or classifieds/includes/functions.php

I think that it should works. Paste the code in a file and name it as_you_want.php Upload it to vBa modules directory and then from your AdminCP choose: vBa CMPS->Add Module->PHP File and setup it as:

Module Title : Anything you want to appear as title
Column : Left or Right for side modules, Center for Central modules.
Display order : Better let it blank
Active : YES
Update all pages : It's up to you
File to include : From the droplist choose the right file
Template used : Let it blank
Module Parent : None
Identifier : A good way is to write the file name without ".php"
Clean File Output : YES
Use Module Shell Template : YES
Module Link : Let it blank
Title Row Colspan : Let it blank
Form Code : Let it blank
Usergroups: It's up to you

<?
$categories = $db->query_read("SELECT id, name FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."classifieds_categories ORDER BY displayorder");
$condfield = "categoryid";
$do = "category";
$whatid = "catid";
$columns = intval($vbulletin->options["classifieds_catlistingcolumns"]);
$adsnumber = intval($vbulletin->options["classifieds_catlistingadspercategory"]);;
$html = '';
$count = 0;
$col = 0;
$now = time();
if($db->num_rows($categories) != 0) {
$html = '<table width="100%">';
while($cat = $db->fetch_array($categories)) {
if($col == 0)
$html .= '<tr>';
$title = sanitize_title($cat["name"]);
$adslisting = '';
$ads = $db->query_read("
SELECT id, title
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."classifieds_ads
WHERE $condfield=".$cat["id"]." AND active=1 AND hidden=0 AND approved=1
AND publishdate<=$now AND (expirationdate=0 OR expirationdate>$now)
ORDER BY publishdate DESC, activateddate DESC LIMIT $adsnumber");
while($ad = $db->fetch_array($ads)) {
$adtitle = sanitize_title($ad["title"]);
eval('$adslisting .= "' . fetch_template('classifieds_categorieslistingadlin e') . '";');
}
if($db->num_rows($ads) == 0)
$adslisting = '<tr><td><div align="center" class="smallfont">'.$vbphrase["classifieds_no_ads_in_category"].
"<a href=\"classifieds.php?do=editad&$whatid=".$cat['id']."\">".$vbphrase["classifieds_post_your_now"]."</a>".'</div>';
eval('$html .= "' . fetch_template('classifieds_categorieslistingblock ') . '";');
$col++;
if($col == $columns) {
$html .= '</tr>';
$col = 0;
}
$count++;
}
if($col != 0 && $count > 0)
$html .= '</tr>';
$html .= '</table>';
}
?>
