Add-On Releases - Photopost Classifieds Recent Ad Block on Forumhome

Hi everyone,
this is my first mod and i though it will really help people out.
Basicly it shows either random, most_viewed or latest and can show a custom set of ads across in either vertical or horizontal position. It uses a external file that comes included with your Photopost Classifieds install.

How to install

1)install the plugin
2)tempate modification (optional in custom places)

template FORUMHOME find this code or other place you would like

find:

$navbar

right under this place:

$classifiedsfeature

Note: Make sure this plug in is enabled. It should automaticly install the template code so you will not have to do it, but if not follow the instructions above.

Remember Yoy may modify options in the inc_features.php (this is a PhotoPost file).

In that file you may set the layout, how many ads to show, and what type e.g. random, recent etc

Please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or need help

I got this to show up on my forum home but Because I have it on a vertical module on my home page it shows up vertical on my forumhome and that's ugly..
I want to add it to a side bar and putting $classifiedsfeature in the table does not work


This is the code I have in my side column. Any ideas as to why the classifieds will not show up?

<!-- Classifieds -->
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('my_table3')"><img id="collapseimg_my_table3" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_my_table3].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			Classifieds
		</td>
	</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_my_table3" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_my_table3]">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1">
		$classifiedsfeature
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- Classifieds -->

I am using the Right side column on forum home only MOD

Here is a pic of my side bar. I have the sponsors box collapsed.

Will this work with vbPortal ?

[bplinson]

Does not seem to.

[JimmyN]

No its not made to, its based around the forum only, as thats what the php file is coded on. Im sure if you edit the paths on the file(s) you might get it to work.

Where is the classifieds/inc_ads.php file? I couldn't see it

I'll give this a shot this weekend.

This is the error with vbportal with pp_classified as the classifieds directory which is in the root directory.

Warning: Unknown(./pp_classified/inc_ads.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php(536) : eval()'d code on line 1

Works well BUT the plug in should have this:

(./photopost/inc_ads.php):

Instead of this:

(./classifieds/inc_ads.php):

Photopost is the default folder when you upload the classifieds, not classifieds. I can see it has already caused a lot of errors for some people. If you are getting the errors like JimmyN, just edit the plugin and use the info I posted.
