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.

$adid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'adid', TYPE_UINT);

It's a vB's standard command to check that the variable adid (if exists) is secure of injections. On Add mode this must be 0, in edit mode it must has the classifieds id. For some unknown reason it get's value 1.

If it was coming from the code, all users should have the same problem. But as you can see in a total of 100+ installations (for all vB versions), there are only 2 issues. Also note that none developer can check all 3nd party mods that someone may has installed, or different server configurations. This mod has been developed with 3.6.8 in a fresh vB installation and with NONE 3nd party addon/module.

Be sure that file bitfield_classifieds.xml has been upload to your vbdir/includes

Ok, I've to admit that my English are is an average level, but I don't think so difficult to understand. It means: Upload all files and directories that you can find in the folder "vbulletin" (in you PC after unziping the classifieds.zip), at the directory where you've installed vBulletin. Some users name it forums, others community and some other upload it on the root directory. In simple words my classifieds.php file must be on the same directory (level) as the index.php file of vBulletin.

I think it's a great mod, someone has fixed the blank page?

Yes, by removing the first line of vbseorules

'^classifieds\.php$' => 'classifieds/'? (I removed and dont work)


thankyou

[misticjeff]

Well that's a shame really....

You have to figure that 90% of users with a vbulletin site don't have a "clean" install with no mods.

Uninstalled.

I'd much rather give you money for a branding free version but since it doesn't work, I can't.

and.... it looks as though there are more than 2 users reporting problems since this thread is full of users reporting the "blank page" issue....

I would LOVE to install this mod and would be happy to also pay $$$ for a branding-free option.

But the ONE MUST HAVE feature that seems to be missing in all these types of mods is a DISTANCE feature.

The vast majority of the internet forums are national and international. AND many needs for classified ads are NOT for products that can be shipped anywhere. My need is for PET listings for local adoptions and for local sources of hard-to-find, doesn't-make-sense-to-ship products and materials. I really need the ability for someone to be able to find ads that are NEAR THEM.

With google maps, this isn't as difficult as it used to be. You don't need zipcode tables anymore. All you need is latitude and longitude of the listing and the user to get the logic to work.

Filtering by Country, State, County, and Area Code would also be great.

Please, with honey and sugar on top, consider adding this capability to your application.

Well, I can't say that I'm angry or upset or ..or.... But really I'm totally disappointed from your reaction Jeff. I came in to your site, I spent time to register, I was waiting 10 hours to activate my account to be able to login and test it.

In exchange, your talking about shames... Thank you. Really appreciated. You're a real gentleman. To make your post more "heavy" against my module, you also wrote about the 2 members that have problems with the blank page, without even add a comment that 2 on 70 installation (without to count those who didn't clicked install), is a low %.

I'm happy that you uninstalled it.

anyway i have this working and from what i can see to works perfectly well, however there is only me that has tested it but still it works and i for one am very happy with it!.

Well ... well... well... That's a very pitty story A year ago, I post here a module named vbFEngine. Nobody understood it's power. Seems that most users want plug-and-play module. It's my best module and it has the less downloads. Ok, I admit that it needs time for initial configuration. But it's a one time action.

Anything you wrote above is possible with that, and much more. Let's count the most important features:

1. Extra fields per category/subcategory/thirdcategory
2. Extra field type: 10 types (even for video, audio, zip search)
3. Unlimited (and different) rating questions per category/subcategory/thirdcategory
4. 3 types of interaction with other members. Just rating, amazon style reviews (I agree/Disagree), seperat forum thread for each post.
5. .... and many more

This module it's just a simple classifieds for general purposes.
