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. /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:

   ....or use any other word you want

I gave this a shot anyway, getting the blank page others have mentioned. Tried turning off gzip, no help. Using vb 3.8.

I checked my log files, can't find anything wrong, you can see here, i get back an HTTP 200, so the file was ok.

[06/Mar/2009:16:41:20 -0600] "GET /classifieds.php HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)"

the blank page is very much blank too, no source to view at all.

PM sent, thanks PattyCake!

Nice stuff.

As you go on to this, if a usergroup does not have the permission to delete their classified ad, is there anyway you could code it so the menu option does not exist for that usergroup? As it stands now, the delete selection is there, and it blows a permission error php page, which can be confusing for users.

I have added a new currency (local one, used most often) by editing xml file and adding in both locations where those 12 currencies and I have add the 13th.
I re upload the product and it appears in the menu but when selected the (RON) sign does not appear in the add next to the amount as in other currencies. If I select other currency all works.

I have used same format "...selected</if> >Lei Noi (RON)</option>" as in the rest.

How can I add RON next to the amount?

How can I put RON as default currency (already selected) instead of Australian Dollar ?
I just edit xml file and put RON in number 1 and move Australian dollar? My guess is I need to do more...

Everything looks good but my photos aren't showing. I did chmod the correct dir's to 777. Thoughts?

[pattycake]

go to your classifieds/photos folder and see if they are there.

[dklassen]

None there.

Did u set permissions in group permissions so you can upload pictures?

[pattycake]

it's the same problem I am having now on my new server - worked fine on my test server which was windows but I moved everything over to the new redhat server today and now, all uploads are failing - I'm guessing that it's a permissions problem on the server.

EDIT: Found my problem... my linux distro did not have GD installed. Look at your phpinfo and make sure you see GD installed. I ended up having to do a:

yum install php-gd
service httpd restart

and everything lit up !
