Auctions / Classifieds

[vb50kgpoo]

There are quite a few people looking for an auctions mod, e.g.

I currently have a paid for version of Mary's Classifieds (see: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=267194) which ChrisTeris dropped and left me in the lurch with. It is good but has some real bugs. I have been looking for someone to take it on and fix the bugs, but I ended up paying for nothing (though I managed to get my PayPal payment back).

I think there would be a lot of grateful users if someone came up with an auctions mod, perhaps they could do a free one and a paid for like most developers.

Yes please, that would be awesome!

I suggest you just use normal forum threads. They give a superior experience to these.

While my new forum is still in Beta I was experimenting with Mary's Classifieds also but it got dumped before all the bugs were solved and I had to look also for another solution.
I couldn't find anything similar and had to come up with another solution.

I started using this MOD: Easy Forms: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234385.

It doesn't automate the whole process like the Classifieds mod did but now at least all my classifieds threads have the same look and looks pretty neat.
You have tons of possibilities to create those forms and the poster has to fill out the form which then gets posted as a thread. You can even make it possible when the user clicks on the "new thread" button for your classifieds forum he always gets directed to that particular form. This way all your threads will look similar.

Below are a few screenshots to show how my form and threads look like.
Maybe this might help a little to replace the Classifieds mod.

Thanks, but not for me; too basic.

I set up a automotive classifieds for a friend on a 3.8 site using Easy Forms by bananalive, Thread Thumbnails by Null Parameter, Mark as Sold by venom2124 and a few conditionals. I also edited the forumdisplay template to hide the normal New Thread button & added Create Ad button just for the classifieds forums.

This is a link to directions using 3.8,,, Everything I used to create his classifieds can also be found in 4.0, use it as a quide, yes its simple but what more do you really need?
