Today: August 2, 2012, we released the latest version of the vBulletin classifieds plugin. This version, 1.4.0, includes a few performance enhancements. This version also addresses an issue for forums running on servers configured to block the allow_url_fopen php function.
Do we need to make the upgrade on our end or does it propagate like the previous update?
I'd much prefer pay an annual license fee (or better still, a one-off fee). We know a number of forums that need a decent classifieds offering and would be prepared to pay a decent amount (i.e. a lot more than the vB license itself) to get one that they can install and run - without the fee system.
I've got one for you. I spent a lot of money for the modification. PM me if you would like to see how it works. I can't place it here because I have to charge a 1 time fee for it.
But after that it's yours!
New feature available today... forums using the Enthusify classifieds plugin for vBulletin can now add a widget to their forum that highlights listings in the marketplace. Here is a screen shot of the widget that corresponds to the classifieds section of our partner, a site for Acura NSX enthusiasts.
Now, you can create a thread for every new listing in the marketplace in a designated subforum of your choosing. This release (v 1.4.3) also includes some minor bug fixes and performance enhancements.
We are just a 6-9 weeks away from supporting these requests. Feel free to drop me an email (chad@enthusify.com) and I can email you when we can meet these minimum requirements.
New feature released today: vBulletin power sellers can now sell multiple of an item with admin approval. This means that if a seller has 10 or 100 of an item, the seller can create one listing and sell out his/her item from that single listing.
In one of our recent updates, we added the ability to automatically generate a new thread in a particular subforum when someone creates a listing. A few of you wanted to modify the "Post New Thread" button in that subforum so that it linked to the marketplace.
