*** VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE ***





By downloading and installing the new version 5.0.3, you automatically accept the following restrictions in use, which have been approved as legal from the Administrator Team of vB.org.
  1. This version is 80% custom work for a client in Norway, who gots the permissions for exclusive use in Scandidavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland). As a result of this legal agreement that I signed, installation of Mary's Classifieds is prohibited in domains (sites):
    1. With extention .no (Norway), .se (Sweden), .dk (Denmark) and .fi (Finland).
    2. In any site, having any tld extention (eg com, net etc etc), having as primary language:
      1. Norwegian
      2. Swedish
      3. Danish
      4. Finnish
  2. Version 5.0.3 uses a thrid party Ajax Library from Guru Sistemas Ltd. This is a commercial library that I bought. Use of this libary out of the original directory (microclassifieds/datagrid/class/), even on the same domain, or including this library in any other module except Marys Classifieds is prohibited.
  3. From this version and on there is my copyright link in the footer as all mods have. Please don't remove it. You can remove it legally by paying for it (not donating).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

With 100+ support pages, its impossible for me to follow the posts her. That's why I opened in my site:
  1. A Thread for Installation Issues
  2. A Project for Bug Reports
I'll appreciate your understanding on the fact that this is a Free product, so don't expect superior level support, but I'll try my best with the help of Bug Tracker.

Also note that even if you can suggest new features, these features will be include in the upcoming CMPS style version which will be Commercial. No plans exist for adding new features in the Free version. Just bug fixes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


NEW VERSION 6.6.0




There are many new features to this version to list them now. Spend sometime to explore the new mod and you'll find them. The only that I want to mention is that the SEO rules that I've, are normal rules and not vbSeo rules.



How to upgrade:
  1. Download the latest version 6.6.0. Please be aware that the regional restriction on use (Scandinavia) is still valid.
  2. Upload *** ALL *** the files in your forum directory.
  3. Import the product-microclassifieds.xml from your admincp, choosing overwrite.
  4. Walk throught the General settinsg and usergroup permissions, as there are many new settings.
Thank you
Chris







1.- How it works
  • A user posts an Ad. If the user hasn't post a profile before, the system auto creates one for him, populating it with any data there are in his forum profile.
  • Members who are searching or browsing ads can see his ad. According the adtype (For-sale, Wanted, Auction), they can Buy it or Bid on it. The ad becomes invisible to public.
  • System PMs seller about the sale. Seller can accept or decline the sale. In case of accept the ad is marking as pending payment. If seller declines the sale, the ad is activating again.
  • When the payment is done, seller marks it as paid, the ad is removing from the server (with all related photos and attachments), and some data remain for history only.
  • System PMs buyer that the sale has been finalized, and prompts him to rate and review the seller.
  • In a time frame that admin has setup, seller and buyer can review each other. During this period reviews are hidden. When the time frame expires, the reviews become visible. Also with the help of a cron job, there is a check which activates reviews, even before the expiration, if both parties have post the review.

It would be nice for a button similar to the buy now button for placing a bid. Kind of like ebay, buy it now, place bid and best offer kind of thing. Would be pretty sweet!

Thanks for the update... really love this mod.
Is it possible to incorporate a button in classified that says something like "How to" So that users who don't know how to use the classified can click on that and see a tutorial on how to use the classified?
If you are willing to do this I will put a comprehensive tutorial together in both html and flash video format and sent it to you to add to the downloads so that everyone can enjoy it. It will encourage more people to use this mod. I know I'm trying to coach a few off Facebook where they have a few groups trying to sell stuff but it isn't working for them. They want to come across but there isn't a users tutorial for them.

Great Mod. Congrats! I tried to search the 82 pages of posts but couldn't find this already answered... We have installed the classified product and are able to create categories and add products for sale. (so the general database connection is working) Strangely, when we click on a the category to see the items for sale in the table/grid, we get the following error inline on the page:

Quote:
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in [path]/microclassifieds/datagrid/class/phpmydatagrid.class.php on line 24

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/microclassifieds/datagrid/class/phpmydatagrid.class.php on line 24



We can see products in the "Random Classifieds" and can click on them to view the details. We are at a loss as to why the database connection would only fail in this location.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Just a thought... looking at that error are you running a sub domain? as in www.mysubdomain.mydomain.com If so that would explain the error.

// ****** DATABASE TYPE ******
// This is the type of the database server on which your vBulletin database will be located.
// Valid options are mysql and mysqli, for slave support add _slave. Try to use mysqli if you are using PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1+
// for slave options just append _slave to your preferred database type.
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli';

That appears to be the problem. I changed the access type to:

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';

and that table is now loading!

Thanks Mike.
