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.

For those who want to remove my link back which appears at the page's footer, they must contact me. Please note that the the license goes by person and not by domain, so you can use it in as many domains are operating by the same person.

I came looking for this thread with a few questions but I think Michigan Morels has covered exactly what I wanted to ask so hopefully you can update us

[da_judge]

If you get blank page... or error... try dissabling VBSEO if you have it installed

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

Thanks.

Also having trouble with thumbnails. I have it set max 80 x 80 but there is one in my ads now that is 80 x 190 anyone have a fix?

The standard for resizing images is:
1.- Setting max width
2.- Setting max height
In this case the uploading image is resizing such a way, so none of the dimensions (height or width) to be higher the maximum. This way the image keeps the best quality. Much more, if you check my code, I'm using resampling instead resizing to give better quality.
If I was following your way, the photo should strech to get the dimensions, loosing the quality.
Of course there is other method to use crop and then resizing/resampling, but sorry this is for photo galleries etc and not for a classified module.

Today I decided to let all my modules here unsupported, as I seen that most members dosen't respects my work, the time that I spent to develope and support them. Worst of all they don't respect even the laws.

I didn't asked anything in exchange. No money, not even to register in my site as most other developers ask for. What I asked, and I was expecting to find from their side, is a small gredit to me as a person, by letting my copyright in place.

Unfortunatelly, doing a simple search in Google (anybody can check it) for "vbulletin memberindex" I found dozens of sites having removed my copyright. Thank you all of you my dear. You're giving a shit to the only rule that I put. But I'm wondering why you don't dare to remove Jelsoft's copyright. Because it's a big company while I'm just a single person, much more, a woman. My congratulations men!!

One of them was so cool that registered in my site and post:

i saw this on vbulletin.org and thought i'd like to point something out here.
copyrighting a vbulletin addon? and trying to charge to remove the link?
heres a tip for you, rewrite the copyright to ITS FREE, DO WHAT YOU WANT. and go for a donation based system.
because guess what, thats just shitty. ++++ copyrights. specially for a addon to a forumsoftware.

Of course I don't plan to punish all other honest members who respected me. I'll continue posting most of my modules for free, I'll continue supporting them, but on my site only or to sites which accept encoded modules. Free yes... But not with visible source code any more. It's my intellectual property and I'll protect it.

Classifieds and MemberIndex will continue unencoded as they're right now. But unsupported.

Thank you for your understanding (this goes to honest users).

[angkor408]

look nice. Thanks.

[ArnyVee]

Microhellas, I definitely am against folks removing copyright links/lines, etc. I think that most folks who are on the up and up would absolutely respect your rules and I hope that those that keep the copyright links in tact would get support from you.

Personally, I have some plans in the near future which would include your classifieds mod and I hope that if I need some assistance that I can rely on you for that help. :up:

I, for one, appreciate the efforts that you and our other brothers and sisters here in our community go through to share such great enhancements to our sites for no charge. Thank you!

Unfortunately this mod is not working for me. I followed all the directions. When making an attempt to do step#7 I can not seem to locate the section where it will allow me to set permission to use vbclassified. I know I'm doing something wrong since there have been many success with this mod. If anyone could help me it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

7. 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.

I personally have both MemberIndex and Classifieds (Purchased MemberIndex back when you were vbfreelancers and also purchased the copyright removal) and I totally understand your frustrations but I think you are really going out on a limb just blaming "men" .

As I usually tend to take these type of post personally, I couldn't help but to sympathise with you on this one. But I do have an idea :up:. Why not make an "upgraded version" of both and code it where if the copyright is removed, the plug-in doesn't work and cannot be repaired easily manually?? That way, anyone who removes your copyright without your "copyright removal file" will not be able to use the plug-in without informing you of their "misdeeds"...

About a year ago, a friend of mine coded a (very simple) mp3 music player addon for vbulletin and someone got a copy of it and tried to remove the copyright and redistribute it. But when the copyright was removed, all of the text from the mod changed to "This website is using illegal software" and any mp3 uploaded didn't play, the music player would just say, "you are now currently using illegal software, you are now using illegal software" LMAO!!!

If I can find some time in my busy schedule, I'll try to help you secure your software. Just because I am 100% against ANYONE using pirated or illegal software. I even discontinued 3 past website partnerships for I found out they were using Nulled vbulletin software.. (as a note, none of those sites exists anymore lol lol)
