Major Additions - vBulletin classifieds mod from Panjo

As of September 2015, the Panjo marketplace mod for vBulletin has been completely rearchitected.

You can learn more about the latest version of the mod on Panjo's vBulletin partner page.

This mod enables you to launch a peer-to-peer community marketplace that is integrated into your vBulletin forum.

Here is how it works:
1) Install the plugin.
2) Customize the categories you want in your marketplace.
3) Contact Chad at Panjo: chad@panjo.com to activate your marketplace.
4) When a seller goes to a new or old subforum dedicated to buying/selling/trading, and clicks on the "post new thread" button, the mod will load a listing creation form.
5) The seller will create a listing. The listing will appear in the marketplace. A synchronized copy of the listing will appear in the appropriate buy/sell/trade subforum.

Is this plugin free?
Yes, this plugin is free.

Can you make money with this plugin?
Yes, you can optionally use this plugin to generate marketplace transaction revenue.

How is it with mobile?
The marketplace loads with layouts that are optimized for high res desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Examples:
Porsche Marketplace <syncs with> Porsche classifieds subforum
BMW Marketplace <syncs with> BMW classifieds subforums
Audi Marketplace <syncs with> Audi classifieds subforums
Belly dancing marketplace <syncs with> Belly dancing classifieds subforums

Gallery:
The marketplace home page

A listing detail page

The listing creation form for a seller

Ahh so there is a new iFrame?? But when we have opened for the first time Panjo before to upload the new iFrame who know what is succeeded...

BUT, all the content ALSO gets deposited in your legacy (or new) classified subforums. And we use canonical URLs to improve link and ranking signals for your marketplace content.

Ahh ALSO.... Really good. So I have to bring to Panjo: advertisement (for all invasive logos and links there are in the plugin), vendors, items and buyers. But how much Panjo pay me each month for this???

"All your registered members must first register an account with Panjo" - not exactly. If a member wants to create a listing, he/she must register an account with Panjo. That process is simply submitting an email where the seller wants to receive marketplace communication. We implemented this step due to the fact that so many forum members had bad email addresses on file with the forum and were missing information related to their marketplace transactions.

And then why our suppliers must before register an account on panjo??
Our vendors are our vendors.
I will feel very stupid that to let add some items on my forum from our suppliers, I have to tell them that before they can do this, them must go and create an account in a more big world commercial platform (Panjo) where they have 3000 options more and occasion to work better there. I don't think is a clever thing.

The items must be stored in the forum of the owner and only there.
Without any obligatory registration by our vendors on Panjo site, to use the plugin.

But like I suggest in this post these are the things in my opinion to let live Panjo:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...in-4-2-2/page2



All contents must be stored in the forum.
The Iframe must be open and closed by the owner of the forum when and if he/she needed and must be clear and visible what this iFrame do.
This could be useful if a forum owner want share them items in the Panjo Marketplace (the site i mean, by sharing a little additional fee with Panjo Marketplace), or better to fill the own empty marketplace of the own forum, with the items exposed by the vendors in the Panjo Marketplace.

Must be the owner of the forum to decide in what way to use the Panjo plugin.
The plugin just like this is full of Panjo advertisement...

Do you see?? This is a little example...

Chad I'm giving this tips because I like this plugin and I will be very happy to use it and that also your Marketplace Project will work.

"Pretty much everything about their plugin is designed to collect your user's information (rather than using it directly through the plugin) and spam them with Panjo branded marketplace emails." - 100% false. Panjo sends transactional emails. Examples: 'A buyer asked a question about your item,' 'your item sold,' 'a buyer made an offer on your item,' 'a seller accepted your offer,' or 'here is your receipt.'

Also this can be done simply by our board.

And when there are some fix or implementation you can alert all users to upload the mod like all mod do.
I really need to use a mod like this so I'm searching the best solution, but until Panjo don't resolve these things, I'm sorry but I will not install it on my forum.

Panjo's classifieds plugin for vBulletin is happy to announce the launch of a major redesign.

Looks good

[markoroots]

Can you please let me know how to completely delete this plugin from my Vb installation?
Some people says that it reinstall it alone again...
Why?
VB says that them don't know what this plugin do... but include it in our upgrades....

Some other people say that the mod affect all php file...
why???

You don't answer to all questions we made...

I don't want a third part "plugin" installed on my forum that do what I tell you upside and in my previous posts without to have any answer....

So please let us now how to completely remove this software from our installations.

[ozzy47]

Do not uninstall it, simply disable it.

If you uninstall it, then happen to run the upgrader again, it will re-install it.

....like a virus....
incredible...
great present that vbulletin made to us...

Please give a look at here, when you try to purchase an item, you are redirected to the panjo.com site...
http://www.bhuz.com/classifieds.php?...costume-157516

Is a really great way to collect buyers and sellers informations and contacts and have the panjo banner in all the place of the forums, and who know what else....

All the sellers and buyers informations that come from a forum, are property of that forum so you cannot redirect these informations to your site....
More you want put 2 big panjo banners in each page of the plugin???



I think that plugin to work must work like a stand alone plugin

and down the pages of the plugin you add a non invasive banner (like now is) to your site.
I think that this is just more then enough. This can be good for both parts: Panjo and the forums admin's.

And also I'm still waiting for the answers about the questions I have made you in my previous posts.

Then you can do like you prefer.

Most forums running on vBulletin do not have an SSL (secure socket layer) certificate. Thus, in order to provide a secure checkout process, Panjo brings the buyer to a secure checkout page to process payment and collect personal information (like the buyer's shipping info) via a secure page.

In your prior post you asked how to delete the mod. Per the suggestion above, don't delete it, just disable it.

Currencies aren?t the matter. But the complete non-english speaking communit can?t use your product, when it?s not beeing offered to be translated (through Panjo or the forums owners themselfs). No US-site would offer a third party service to their visitors and members, when it?s only available in Hindu - likewise it?s for non-english speaking forums.

I?ve heard you. May be Panjo should be excluded from the non-english vBulletin versions, at least until it?s available in the language the vB-version is licensed to. It?ll be installed every update if someone is going to uninstall plugins he cannot make use of (i.e. for security reasons aso).
