Major Additions - Classifieds

Removed by the Author because:

• For 7 mods, there are 1905 downloads but only 577 clicked installed.
• For these 577 installs I got 4 donations for Brand Free. Make a simple search on the net using the product name and you'll find that 50% have illegally removed my copyright.
• I found 3 vb.org style sites, offering for download my mods but after PAID SUBSCRIPTION, or DONATION

After all, I'll stop be the idiot on this market.

Hi Mary,
I posted this in here because it seems to be a more friendly thread than the one over in 3.8.
They seem to be a little harsh over there.

Concerning whether photo limits are per user or per add.

TO:

WHERE classifieds_photos.id = ".$adid);

The default code does indeed to be per user. at least that is how it works for me.

But when I changed code as shown above, it seemed to fix it, but actually did not. While that code change will allow photos per ad to be set, when you go back and edit ad, you can upload another set of photo's, and if you edit and upload again and again, you can post as many photo's as you want. It completely bypasses all limits, as it only seems to deal with number of photo's uploaded per instance, and not per ad. So I am going back to default of per user total until you can find a way to make it per ad for us.

Per ad would be ideal Mary.
Both per ad and a seperate total overall for group/user would be even better.

If you make this change, please post notice here for us.

We sure ask a lot of you coders considering your product is free, don't we?

Thank you for your time and efforts.
I appreciate both.

Another suggestion is to have thumbnails set the same as you have set for your vb forums. I'm having trouble with thumbnails display. Even tho' I have both width and height set to 60 px. The vertical pics will stand tall but the horizontal pics remain very small.

How could I set it to use my vb thumbnail options?

Thanks.

I would like to Not have the date/time imput showing to sellers, either on posting new ad, or editing an ad. I would rather have it based off start time as when posted, and expiration time automatically set to what I have set in Catorgory.

I would like to still have the date/time options available to admin if we edit an ad, but not to the seller.

I'm no coder, but I have tried various things, that do not work.
So I have to ask for help again. I know it's got to be simple, but I'm not bright enough to spot it. LOL

Thanks Mary

The default price field should be a required field before submiting.

As it is now, a seller can leave price empty, enter their paypal email and submit it. Then when buyer trys to purchase, the amount of "0" is passed to paypal.

Also it would be good to have option of making additional fields required or not as we desire.

I cant set any categories, whats the deal?

[Michigan Morels]

This may be your problem C138 Kaysone

Read step 7. in installation instructions.

"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."

You have to set permissions for each usergroup first.
Hope this helped you.

I am having a problem with the RSS feed. When I click it and get the feed it doesnt fed and states its a webpage not a feed. Anyone else have this problem? Im trying to have it feed into a forum when someone makes a post in the classifieds section.

Please Help!!

Great classifieds mod! How do I change the font color under "latest classifieds" for the various categories? Right now they cannot be seen because the font is the same color as the background. You can see at: http://coldblooded.tv/forums/classifieds.php

Thanks!

Maria, I hope you are healthy and well. It's been awhile since you've been online. I hate to pile up so many question in between your replies, but if I don't post as I'm think of it, I tend to forget. Old age is sooo much fun.

I've noticed that when an Ad is Deleted, it does not remove/delete the attachments from the photo file. They just remain there and the folder keeps getting larger, because old photo's are still left on the server.

Thanks

so impressed with my testing of this and it's small, simple and fast footprint I'll be ditching ppost classifieds (bloated for my needs, heinous to alter and hideous to upgrade). One question.. How do I get a header graphic to show throughout all of the classifieds? Is there one place I can put this or will it have to go in each template? I would like it to be under the breadcrumb, so if someone can tell me where the breadcrumb template is? Thanks!
