Is the PM system new? As in just added within the last 12hrs? How do I get it working?

Editing - Should be able to edit any part of the auction up until the point a bid is made. I'm no coding guy but I should think that an "if/then" query could take care of it.

If there is a bid, description should not be editable. (Is that possible?)

Or all in all just do not allow description to be editable.

-Paypal support will kick this one up as a mod.
-Image Support

But you've already heard all of that.

Well.

I look forward for completion, willing to pay when it comes out too.

PM system has been out for a bit, it will automaticly pm the seller and buyer on completion of auction.

Thanks for the info guys

[angeljs]

Really looking forward to this being completed. I'd be more than willing to pay for a finished version as it has tons of potential!

I ran a test auction after I installed it, and instead of being over, it now says time left: -1D 10H 13M 6S and no PM has been sent out to either seller or buyer. Did I miss something during the installation? TIA!

[Blaine0002]

I seemed to have missed somthing, for some reason the cron is not running every 10 minutes.. To into your schedualed tasks and see when your Close Auctions task is running. somone said it was only running every sunday or somthing o.O

[Marit]

Thanks! It was set for Sundays at 00.00 so that was probably it! Will try a new test now before I go live

[Blaine0002]

hmm. i think i accadently set it to sunday in an older version, andif you upgraded it probably didnt overwrite the cron, so it was still at sunday. it seems to be correct in the newest version, or am i wrong? :-/

Hi!

Thanks a lot for this mod. I've been extending it with SEO and AJAX features.

Btw, I would recomend to spend some time on learning to optimize MySQL as it's not very fast right now, I needed to rewrite most of it
