1. Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
2. CMOD the following directories to 777
   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.

Yes...hence my comment about others posting problems from weeks ago with no resolutions provided within the forum.

While I did not receive any useful tech support from this company I did receive a silent refund. Since it was frustrating to lose an ENTIRE DAY trying to make their defunct software work the refund leaves me feeling bittersweet at the best.

Conclusion: Part-time coders capable of producing freeware mods as they develop their skills and resumes, but not yet enough talent or business sense to fill the shoes they're trying to wear. At this stage they should be asking for donations, not trying to sell buggy, unsupported software.

I found this to be a better alternative, and it is supported. www.vbclassified.com

I just installed, thanks! I have a couple of questions that I don't see any options to change these.

1. Is it possible to put an automatic expiry date for different catagories/subcatagories?
2. Is it possible to disable posting ads in catagories and only allow postings in subcatagories? If I have one catagory as for sale and another wanted and within each catagory I have a number of areas to post in, I don't want anyone to post in the main catagory now do I.
3. If the main usersgroup is not allowed to upload images, will users be able to upload pics with their ads?

Thanks for your assistance...

Installed this and it seems fine - but am onto 2 pages of classifieds in one of my sections now, and the second page can't be accessed?

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Just checked and the word 'category' is missing from the URL on the link for the second page!

The $_POST["do"] isn't returning a value in the functions.php file? Am not a PHP programmer, so not sure what this is meant to do? Have hard coded the category word in and its working at the moment, but not sure if this will cause any further issues??

Hello,
First THANK YOU!! this is a great mod!! I have a problem with it hope someone can help. the photos are not being displayed at all, the upload box is there but there is no way to change or delete photos. I tried to upload another photo and its says "You don't have permissions to add more photos. Please upgrade, or remove old ones"

Can anyone help??

Everything went fine with the install, but there is no area for permissions under usergroups, so I checked the plugin manger and my hook location says, online_location_unknown

What do I set this online_location_unknown to? Under the drop open I see nothing referring to vbclassifieds.
