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)

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:

   ....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.

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.

Link to the Dispute

Even if you correct mentioned that is not on your business, I want to spend some time to close this "hot topic".

1. There is no copyright for general purpose words. eg food, cinema, sales etc can't be copyrighted.
2. Copyright goes to words without any general meaning in conjuction with a logo. eg if you're old in age, at the 1981 there was an argue between Sanyo and Sanio. Finally Sanio won.
3. There is a difference between vbclassifieds and classifieds. Hope that you can understand it.
4. I asked from the author of vbClassifieds.com, to show me papers to prove his copyright. He said that he has nothing (simple because it was impossible to get copyright for a common word).

That's hor the history. Please don't hijack the thread again. If the author of vbclassifieds thinks that there is a copyright issue, he will contact vB.org admins to solve the issue.

Thank you
Mary

Sorry but there is no manual. You can modify the templates to meet your needs, on the same way that you can modify all vB templates.

Mary,

Do you plan to allow fields to be specified as optional or mandatory ? Need to have that to be able to use the mod... TIA.

ndahiya
ps: or are you planning to release a paid "full" version with all these extra features ?

Don't I've this feature? Sorry but at that time I was developing classifieds and vbengine together. In vbEngine for sure exists. But I thought that I've added it to classifieds too. No, should not be any paid version.

If you read the the post:
http://www.vbclassified.com/showpost...0&postcount=16

you'll see that the author admits that there is no code stealing, just name confusion:

As for vBFClassifieds, please understand that they did not steal the vBClassified code. I looked at their free version and it is not based on the same database logic or structure. This is a completely different script and I want to make it clear that my issue was their use of the name and not the code itself.

Only by giving my access to your site (FTP) and to your admicp maybe I can help you. Sorry but you tried all theoretic ways to solve it. I need to see it on my own.
