is it possible to have more than one user group able to sell I can only set it to the registered user to sell, and can I have more than one currency?

[Blaine0002]

you need to create a userid and then set the usergroup id you have created in the Admincp

you can also set your currency symbol in there, default is $

[Blaine0002]

expect a new version soon

i have this installed now but it dont seem to close the auctions after? is there a simple fix to this as im running a charity auction tomorrow and so need to try and get it fixed asap

[steven_h]

Nice addon Blaine... I was wondering if this also would or could support reverse auctions? I am developing a gamerz site and would like to have an area where coders/developers and clients can actually bid on work offers/requests. Customers would bid up a coders rate for projects and in reverse, coders/devlopers would bid down a clients work request.

Any ideas regarding this?

Thank in advance

[Blaine0002]

not sure steven_h, i would need to look into that type of auction more,

Mat, make sure the 'close auctions' cron isnt running on just sunday, seems that is happening to people,

Oh, and remember to click install!

[mat.knott]

clicks install

[mat.knott]

i take it i change day to *

what about hour and min? do they need to be changed at all?

[Blaine0002]

nope, their current settings will run the script once every 10 minutes.
