I created a seller group and joined the seller group but when i click "Sell" I receive this message:
"Sorry, you need to be a seller to be able to sell anything! Click HERE to request a sellers account. Thank you."

I click on the link and I shows that I am a member in the group but still I cannot sell.
Can someone please help me.

Thank you

Sorry I got it working, I entered the usergroup name instead of the Id.
Great mod thank you for sharing

Works flawlessly on 3.7.X -> http://www.beercandleforums.com/vbay.php?
I changed a few things so that it wouldn't look generic, It also looks more user friendly now with the additions icons. (See attached)

Nonetheless...

• rated 5 stars
• marked installed
• and nominated for MOTM

Go into the Styles & templates of the style(s) that you are using, then on the drop-down choose "Edit Templates"
Scroll down to "Vbay Templates"

From there you will see all the vbay templates, All I mainly did was add an extra column to the category templates:

<td class='alt2' align='center'><img src="/images/vbay/{$thecats['catname']}.png" border="0" /></td>

then I uploaded icons to the vbay directory on my server and named each icon to reflect the name of my category, Simple!

Then I simply replaced the vbay nav with a fieldset.

As for the new listing page, I just added tables to help align all the radio buttons and cleaned up the fieldsets with CSS.

Open up the templates and you'll catch on fast, but make a copy of the style and test your changes on that first. :up:
