**THE ORIGINAL THREAD**

I have asked that the old thread be removed because I can not update that thread and it is impossible for me to support the product there. I have made a PDF file which is at the following PATH that hs all of the information from Gio's original thread in case anyone needed to see old issues that were reported.

Where did you find to add categories? I'm having the same problem you had.

EDIT:

Turns out you have to refresh the AdminCP to get the SR Classifieds to show up in there.

Once you do, it's above the Styles and Templates area.

it turn on vB 3.6.5

[RedGTiVR6]

When you upload the product into the AdminCP, you can put a link to the mod and you put a link to a version checker.

That's what I'm referring to.

It's a way for you to know if the version of the mod you have installed is old, up to date, or if there's a newer one.

Ok..now that I have installed and running,

How am I suppose to place an ad in the classified ad section?

Did I miss something?

I did all the template edits and still don't see how this is suppose to work.

Any help would be appreciated.


Live demo of what I did is here:

Disregard this post, I found all the information in the admincp.

I totally overlooked it. Ooops.

This is a great addition/modification. Thank you.

I posted this on your other site, but figured there might be a response to be had here as well...plus someone else might be running into the same issue and if a solution is posted here it would be helpful to others to see.

I'm aware that you need to spend your time helping paying customers. However, I wanted to put this out there.

• The display order is botched on categories. If you have more than 9 categories, the order is not retained. For instance:
  
  1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10
  
  Shows up like this:
  
  1 - 10 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9
  
  As a current work around, I have to do the following:
  
  1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 99
  
• Image thumbnail sizes are not retained. If you go into the AdminCP --> SR Classifieds --> SR Classifieds Options --> Size of thumbnail for ads? This thumbnail will be listed in the categories, mainpage, etc.
  
  I've tried changing these settings but they don't seem to be tied to the images I've used for the categories. Perhaps I'm looking somewhere wrong or expecting this to do something it's not supposed to do?
  
• Page width doesn't stay within the constraints of the template you're using for the page.

If any of these items can be resolved on my end, please let me know.

So far, I'm really liking this product a lot!

*marked as installed* *rated*

EDIT: How can I change the Rating [sr_classifieds_rating] to read Trader Rating: instead of just Rating?

I've tried changing the phrase by adding an English translation but it doesn't change it in the posts, etc.

"Rating" is a bit too vague for our needs as the users are confusing it with the user reputation system built into vBulletin that we no longer use.

Am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And when you go to post a new add, below the description, there's "Additional Info"...but there's nothing else around it...what is this for?

[jellybaby]

I am unable to delete any ads - using any browser, does anyone else have this?

[jellybaby]

Sorry another question how can I change it from $ to £

[Performance Pol]

I Can't seem to get the paypal buttons to show....Have checked there in the right forlder and directory but no go...

Any ideas?

Cheers

Never mind, done!

[Merriweather]

I was thinking today that it would kick butt if somehow there could be a daily or weekly post made to the forums saying new ads have been added and even what they are... my users forget to go to the classifieds, so if there could somehow be a post made to a specified forum I bet it would really increase the activity my ads get, and perhaps would help others. I checked the paid version but didn't see it as a feature there, either.
