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.

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.

couple of suggestions:

1. make fields mandatory or options
2. allow integer as type
3. have a variable set to check if the classifieds site is free (show no paypal/payment block on ad creation page)
4. optional fields are shown too close together, space them a little?

5. ads can still be added to a parent category even if option is set to no ads allowed (atleast by a administrator level user)..

a classifieds system is much needed! thanks.

Don't pull it out of the package yet, see what vbSEO says. I'd put a note in the package to comment out the first line of the vbSEO rules. But other than that, leave it in.

Very nicely done Mary, installed and working.

(1) Is it possible to have a separate area for Shipping which is added to final bill?
(2) Drop down for multiple items, i.e. 10 available in stock.

For those of you with no images showing in advert have you edited the user groups?

[Chet T16]

I think the problem with the first line of the rewrite rules is that there is an actual directory called "classifieds" If you change the rewrite rule to point to something else it will work

e.g.

'^classifieds\.php'=>'adverts/'

Or change the name of the directory that the files are in.

I imagine that would lead to even more problems!

Sorry, I should have clarified... that comment was for Marie. Only the dev could make those kinda changes.

[clothahump]

Slows image loading to a crawl in the forums, no idea why but have had to un-install it to get things back to normal.
Shame as it looked promising.

[dmknights]

This looks good. will try this later

[Zorck]

I need this hack a lot!!.
I install and works perfect, thanks Mary!

At the momment the only think that would be very very nice to had, is the option of contact the seller wen the user buy an item, maybe sending and email o pm instead to be redirected to paypal, becouse in my country we dont use paypal.

Thanks!
Sergio.
