Any ideas?

Does anyone know how to show the latest listings on the main vbay page? instead of;

'.. Looks like you have successfully installed VBay! I hope you enjoy it! ..'

like it says, edit the vbay_main phrase

hello. This is something that I am looking for as a key integration into a gamserver site.

The idea is that players trade ingame items for VbCredits (our choice of "loyalty" reward) rather than real money. We DO NOT want real money changing hands.

ATM, players advertise items in regular forum threads and conduct clumsy auctions and negotiations there. A real auction that uses VBCredits seems a superior thing to have.

The credits are earned by doing the right thing in the forums and helping out - as well as just using them

I am aware that they guys over at VBCredits are keen to have more integrations and I know that there is a market for this kind of thing.

For various reasons, it is worth paying for if it works.

Love to hear if you think this is feasible

[Blaine0002]

eventually i will integrate virtual money in as well as real money

I think the key for this to be really someone awesome is to integrate it with VBPlaza/vbbux , is there a chance? I would like my users to buy/sell things, but not for real money.

Hi, I am installing now, where do we add vbay link? What code do we add to navbar to link to this after upload

[Blaine0002]

It should automaticly install unless you are using a custom template, if so look under the vbay_navbar_edit, and theres your code

Hi Blaine, I installed v117 and first let me say GREAT program and addon! Unfortunately I am running into a few issues perhaps you can tell me where I am missing something or can it be changed.

Post a new ad - Step 1:

- When posting a new ad, you can't change the font. Not a show stopper, but some folks like to emphasize.

- When posting a new ad, we are running a local vBay and there is no shipping... what if a seller is seeling something that is pickup only. The shipping should not be required, as it is now.

Step 2:

- Bid increment is set for minimum of $1. Any way to make that lower... such as .25?

- Again, it is requiring a shipping cost... and it won't let you go forward until you enter something.

Can you help please? Also, any chance of making sub-categories? No big deal, just easier to organize... And perhaps an easy way for the admin to change anything and everything on any ad...
