   1. /photos (inside vbfclassifieds directory)
   2. /tmp (inside vbfclassifieds/photos directory)
   3. /thumbs (inside vbfclassifieds/photos directory)
3. For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
4. Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
5. From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_vbfclassifieds.xml
6. If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template:
   Search For:
   

   <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">
   $vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

   Add Below:
   

   <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbfclassifieds.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Classifieds</a></td>

   ....or use any other word you want
7. By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbfclassifieds, so you need to give permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
8. If you've installed vbSEO, Login into vbSEO Control Panel, click "Custom Rewrite Rules", insert rewrite rules (attached in vbseo-rules.txt to not lose formatting) and save settings.

Please check:

1. If you've cmod 777 the dierctories:
   1. photos/
   2. photos/thumbs
   3. photos/tmp
2. If you've setup in usergroup permissions an amount of allowed uploads greater than 0. Default is 0

Beautiful Thanks for that

I noticed another problem. When clicking on an image, i get the image loading picture but that is it. It will not load. Any suggestions?

I've found what I consider to be a major problem.

I want to use this so that members of the forum can post their own items for sale. However, when they try to buy something, PayPal is trying to pay the email account defined in AdminCP as the PayPal Merchant Account email address.

Why doesn't this script provide PayPal the email address that the seller provides when they place the ad? This would solve the problem.

Also, if an email address is not defined within the ad, the "Buy It!" option should be disabled.

Are you sure for it? Because I've checked it on my own. Of course I must admit that I checked it with the commercial version, but I don't think that Olympic has touched any part of the code there. I'll be back after rechecking it.

You're right, and this is totally my faulty approach. I added this restriction, but following wrong condition (if the price=0 and not if the email is empty). I'll correct it and we'll post an update. Sorry for troubles.

I am sure.

Turn Sandbox off (I don't have a Sandbox account).
Put a specific email address in AdminCP, something that you'll recognize in a minute.

Edit an existing ad to show a second email address. Theoretically this is who PayPal should send payment to.

Try to buy the item in this ad, and enter a third email address.

On my end, the third email address is trying to pay the first email address, not the second. I can screenshot all this and email it to you if you like.

I split my replies, as these are two different problems.

I think a "Buy It!" should be allowed if price=0, as someone could be giving something away. Just thought I'd put my two cents in before you change your code.
