Ability to add a Quick Link in the drop down menu to this awesome hack!

I think the Welcome to vbay me renamed to Welcome to <forumsname auctions> or whatever to where the end-user can have the ability to rename that section and the Welcome to needs to have the ability for a end-user to
edit this than to have to do it in the xml product file. So add a section in the Management area in the admincp is my idea on that.

1. Ability to brand their own Auctions area, as vbay can get someone into trouble perhaps later down the line as you know the US Laws do suck (no more online gambling as an example)

2. Fully editable from the admincp is more ideal all in all instead of this:

Welcome to Vbay Looks like you have successfully installed Vbay! I hope you enjoy it!

This product is currently in its early beta phase and is really NOT reccommended for use on a public board.

To do list:
Admin CP options (lol)
Trader reputation
Buy it now feature
Better validation
WYSIWYG editor when posting auctions
------------------------------------
BTW, if somone knows how to display remaining days hours and minutes from a timestamp plz post how in the product topic, it would be greatly appreciated

Just my thoughts and if you need a full tester let me know I'll assist you and help you as needed. Because you have a great product so far in the Alpha-Beta stages is how I see it!!!!


Edited for one more thing:

3. Ability to drop a list of Categories in:

Media
Electronics
Websites
Domain Names
Business For Sale

Where you see the categories there now, well the ability to alphabetize them 1-0,A-Z

[Cornie]

My users have a problem with the picture insert.

I would say integrate with this hack here:
Hack by: Ranma2k @ https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=image+hosting

To where they can work together if you can think of how to go about it, cause the image hosting hack is wonderful, so if there's a way to pull from that it would be great I think!

I think the 1st issues to address are,

1. photo & multiple photo uploads, (most users are not HTML savvy) and,

2. at least a hook in to pay pal, (with 3 simple payment options.......... paypal, personal check, or money order is a great start.

This would satisfy me.

I think the next thing is the summary screens - and notification of the auction completing so the winner and buyer know. A bid history with optional viewable usernames too...
