vB Easy Auction v1.1
by yoyoyoyo

Don't let the length of this post fool you... this is actually very simple to setup... I just tend to get long-winded at times...

WHAT YOU NEED:

* vBulletin Software (for vBulletin integration - the perl files will work fine without vBulletin)
* Web server account that has CGI capabilities, and will allow you to run executable cgi files.
* Perl 5.6 or better installed on that web server. Contact your server administrator if you are unsure (most servers are running version 5.8.X, so this should not be a problem). If you do not have perl installed then read a little further below about perlsp.
* Access to either Sendmail, BLAT, or Sockets mail. No mail can be sent without at least ONE of the above. If you are using either BLAT or Sockets mail (NT users usually), you will also need access to an SMTP mail server. Contact your server administrator to find out if you do. Note: the SMTP mail server needs to allow the user to send mail without requiring them to log into the server.

OVERVIEW

This will add auctions to your site quickly and easily. Simply edit the auction.pl file and admin.pl files to reflect your server's filepaths, etc., and then upload the files to your server. Create a template and make a couple edits to your vbulletin files to allow navigation to your auctions and that is it! The core of the auction is based on a HEAVILY modified version of EveryAuction Release Version 1.53, and can be further edited or modified to suit your needs, as long as you follow the GNU public license.

SEE POST #1 OF THIS THREAD FOR INSTALL INFO, ETC.

If members of your site are interested in participating in the auctions then they need to register for them also, since this is not integrated with the vBulletin database for security reasons (since people put actual contact info, etc. in their auction registrations).

FEATURES




  • a comprehensive, professional user interface that makes navigation simple
  • auction classifieds or traditional auction settings
  • configuration takes only a few minutes if perl is installed on your system
  • colors and tables can be easily changed to match the look and feel of your system
  • supports HTML front-ends
  • unlimited categories and items
  • category listing lists number of open items per category
  • item listings list items, closing time, and current bid
  • automated e-mail validation registration system keeps non-legitimate users out of your database
  • system generated easy-to-remember (and user changeable) passwords sent to users via e-mail
  • users must "sign" an agreement upon registration.
  • optional non-registration mode allows fast posting or bidding by anyone
  • users may update their contact information, password or Registration E-Mail.
  • any registered user can post an item using the easy-to-use submission system
  • images can be posted along with an item description and starting bid
  • supports reserve prices which allow a seller to set a minimum sell price above the minimum bid
  • seller determines minimum bid increment and length of the auction
  • item preview before an item is actually posted
  • each item is given a unique ID number and URL, so sellers can advertise their auctions in newsgroups or via a link
  • item display lists bidding history and product information
  • displays Closed items in a table with Radio Buttons for Selection
  • bidding is easy with the minimum bid price displayed on the item page along with a quick bid form
  • sellers can choose the ending time of an auction
  • amount of time left in each auction is displayed in the listing
  • outbid e-mails automatically sent by the system with a link back to the auction item
  • sniper protection: auctions can close a configurable time after the last bid and the designated closing time, or the admin can choose to disable the sniper protection
  • integrated search engine allows search by username or keyword
  • users can view closed auction history and contact information depending on whether he/she is the buyer, seller, or losing bidder
  • auction items may be deleted or updated by the system administrator using a password
  • e-mail sent to both high-bidder and seller on auction close
  • fast re-posting of items that were not sold
  • data file construction allows experienced administrators to add, remove, or edit items or users by simply editing a plain text file
  • everything is compressed into a single lightning-fast perl script
  • advanced file locking system eliminates the risk of data corruption even during heavy bidding
  • separate secure Admin Console
  • pagebreaks in listings
  • automatically updates the bids on the item display page
  • seller can edit an auction if there are no bids.
  • auto-prune of old inactive user data (admin specified length of time)
  • prevents email registration from the same address more then once
  • users must enter valid e-mail addresses when signing up for the auctions.
  • enter e-mail addresses twice
  • "e-mail auction to friend" option
  • view all auctions option

I am considering this add on, however I have a few questions that I would like to ask...

1. Has anyone installed this on V 3.5.4 Does it run ok, no problems?
2. Is it possible to modify the code so that users can upload attachments, rather than point it to an image URL?
3. How many images can you upload or point to? Just one, or more?
4. I would like to have the actual auction up the top, followed by the thread which contains discussions about the auction itself underneath. Is this the case? Or is it just the ad?

Anyone have any news on this hack being upgraded to run on the latest version.

I tried to install it on 3.5.4 but one of the index pages is completely different.

Where do you go to fix the file path in the iframe of the template?

I see:
<iframe name="auction" ALIGN="CENTER" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER=0 HEIGHT=3000 WIDTH=100% MARGINHEIGHT=0 VSPACE=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=0 src="$bboptions[bburl]/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl"></iframe>

Where is $bboptions[bburl] defined? Is that something I should need to edit?

OK, I fixed the iframes problem, but found that the auction.cgi and admin.cgi scripts are the problem. They run, but produce gibberish.

I'm running VBulletin 3.5.4 0 is that the problem? Or do I have some settings wrong?

The output from each looks largely like the CGI file itself starting after the
#!/usr/bin/perl line.

Are there any plans to get this program to work with VB 3.6.x soon?
