			 				Welcome to Vbay    Looks like you have successfully installed Vbay! I hope you enjoy it! 

This product is currently in its early beta phase and is really NOT reccommended for use on a public board. 

To do list:
Admin CP options (lol) 
Trader reputation
Buy it now feature
Better validation
WYSIWYG editor when posting auctions
------------------------------------ 
BTW, if somone knows how to display remaining days hours and minutes from a timestamp plz post how in the product topic, it would be greatly appreciated :)

This one can be edit directly from the admincp, through Style Manager, search for a template named vbay_main

I understand that, but the idea is to make it ALL centralized in a mod to where a person doesn't have to go from option to option within a forums back-end right? I know all of this is in the beginning stages now just throwing my options out there to make it seem more reasonable to edit and all within one Options area you know . Especially this hack here has a HUGE potential if the whole community comes together on this!

Off topic though (A thought for food):

*Pondering on a huge network of vBayers* :smoke: I think it would be great because for one we can all have a centralized forums for every vBay end-user like a showcase and etc... Just my thoughts!

I'm outting this live on my site for a single auction the a couple days - love to get new updates by then if you have any. This is going to be a silent auction - I'll be removing the bidders UserID number. Reckon you could have an Auction Complete summary screen by Sunday? If I have any flashes of inspiration whilst mangling your code, I'll pass it on.

Hello to all,

I have several questions:

1. The auction although you put the days, it is not closed, it continues working.

2. The salesman never leaves well, leaves usuary number 1 of the forum, that is to say, the one that registry first.

3. Could be closed the auction immediately? not to wait for the established days.

4. It is not possible to be modified data of an article when one rises, would be interesting to be able to change only the description, etc.

A greeting and thanks

I only understand a few of those, yes i will allow admins to close auctions early, and i am working on the cron that closes the auctions.
im also working on the PM for buyer and seller and an image uploader

Image upload (room for 6 possibly) and payment options. I'd help you if I could but even HTML is Chinese to me, nevermind php,sql coding..

[dartho]

Suggestion: If the user currently viewing an auction has placed a bid - it should at least show what their highest bid was...

Redirect after placing a bid should be back to the auction they just placed a bid on

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = "vbay.php?viewitem=" . $_REQUEST['dobid'] . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] ."";

Thankyou

[fishhub]

can this work on 3.5.4? TIA

[chick]

I have it working on 3.6.4, but there is no.....

1. Upload photo feature
2. Payment feature
... and a few other issues, so it is really useless at the moment

Hopefully the coder is working on this cool little prog.
