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
Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
CMOD the following directories to 777
/photos (inside classifieds directory)
/tmp (inside classifieds/photos directory)
/thumbs (inside classifieds/photos directory)
For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_classifieds.xml
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
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.
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.
4.- Copyright
You can modify the code as you like to meet your special needs
You can distribute this code, but NOT FOR PROFIT
My copyright link must remain always visible.
I'm not accepting donations
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.
Maria,
This is an excellent plugin. I finally got it to work as I wanted.
For those who are still getting blank pages, try to remove the first line of VBSEO custom code; or even remove it altogether and start from there.
Suggestion:
The seller can use Paypal IPN. I would bet members who post classifieds would also love such a feature where they enter their "thank-you-page.html". Once they receive payment, then their visitor is automatically redirected to the thank you page.
This way, their orders can be fulfilled automatically
I was wondering if we could get an add-on to this mod to let people know when a new ad has been posted.
For example, I have the groups mod installed that posts a topic in the forum of my choice anytime a new group is formed. It would be great if something like that was available for this mod!!!
I just removed all that stuff and it's working fine, not too worried about my classifieds being seo'd but I may try your fix.. So far this mod is working great, several of my members like it far better than photopost classifieds. I also like that it's a vbull mod and can be easily tweaked..
I have tweaked the main 'item display' page because I felt the layout (especially the options) was badly arranged from a usability point of view.
Here is what I am using for the template classifieds_showad
It just makes all icons clickable and rearranges the template for much much better usability. I know you'll love it
I was getting a blank page with classifieds.php (with or w/o vbseo).
this is how i solved it:
in classifieds.php i moved require directives starting at line 88, above require(CDIR.'/includes/init.php');
Code:
define('CDIR', getcwd());
// move up begin
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/classifieds/includes/functions.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_editor.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_wysiwyg.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_image.php');
// move up end
require_once(CDIR . '/includes/init.php');
Thanks for this had been looking for about 2 days for a fix to my white page problem and your option worked - thanks so much now looking forward to messing around with it.
Hello, and thank you for this awesome mod. Installed and is working fine except for 1 thing so far. I can't get the "Custom Fields" to work. I've added three custom fields, but they don't show up when I'm listing a new item. I would appreciate any advice.
Also, I have paid subscribers on my forum and I would like their ads to be listed always at the top (or in the sponsored section?). How do I do that? So far, the only editing areas I've found are in the "classifieds" section of admincp and the "usergroups" section. Are there any additional places to check?
