You nned to comment out the two lines which have the call to ParseInputs in the vbayadmin.php. Search for ParseInputs and put "//" at the start of the lines. See posts on page 5 for more info.

There are still issues even if you fix these errors - you're probably best off waiting for the next release ...

Does anyone have this working??????

[dartho]

Yes, in a manner. Short story is - it works. Long stiory is there are a few bugs to get fixed and some features which need to be added.

It is stated very clearly as being in beta stage (although "Alpha" may be more accurate) but it is easy to see Blaine is on the right track with an obviously much sought after hack (I know I have search high and low for something suitable)

Could you make the admin panel area work for me? $

Bear in mind that the admincp stillhas issues even with these fixes - you can't rename a category - only add and/or delete

[Blaine0002]

All admincp issues (im pretty sure) have been fixed and reuploaded in the zip, only files changed are the cpnav_vbay.xml and vbayadmin.php

Hope this works out for everyone.

Oh yeah, sorry for the wait.. its been a long weekend. lol.

[dartho]

Still got an issue or two - when you try to rename a category, the name becomes blank. Deleting and creating works fine. Also there is no "Time Left" figure at alll now

[chick]

Looking great so far bro. Thanks.

[chick]

Time left issue.... Category rename issue....no way to put in paypal or a some type pf pmt. method, or 'upload a picture' for the auction?

They must use html in their description area in order to insert a pic... humm...Blaine run with it, this will be nice when complete.

[Blaine0002]

Woops, fixed those.....

Reupload files and reimport product.

Currently upload a picture and paypal havent been integrated....
