-----Not available any more------

*** VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE ***

By downloading and installing the new version 5.0.3, you automatically accept the following restrictions in use, which have been approved as legal from the Administrator Team of vB.org.

This version is 80% custom work for a client in Norway, who gots the permissions for exclusive use in Scandidavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland). As a result of this legal agreement that I signed, installation of Mary's Classifieds is prohibited in domains (sites):

2. In any site, having any tld extention (eg com, net etc etc), having as primary language:
  1. Norwegian

  4. Finnish
Version 5.0.3 uses a thrid party Ajax Library from Guru Sistemas Ltd. This is a commercial library that I bought. Use of this libary out of the original directory (microclassifieds/datagrid/class/), even on the same domain, or including this library in any other module except Marys Classifieds is prohibited.
From this version and on there is my copyright link in the footer as all mods have. Please don't remove it. You can remove it legally by paying for it (not donating).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

With 100+ support pages, its impossible for me to follow the posts her. That's why I opened in my site:

I'll appreciate your understanding on the fact that this is a Free product, so don't expect superior level support, but I'll try my best with the help of Bug Tracker.

Also note that even if you can suggest new features, these features will be include in the upcoming CMPS style version which will be Commercial. No plans exist for adding new features in the Free version. Just bug fixes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW VERSION 6.6.0

There are many new features to this version to list them now. Spend sometime to explore the new mod and you'll find them. The only that I want to mention is that the SEO rules that I've, are normal rules and not vbSeo rules.

How to upgrade:

Download the latest version 6.6.0. Please be aware that the regional restriction on use (Scandinavia) is still valid.
Upload *** ALL *** the files in your forum directory.
Import the product-microclassifieds.xml from your admincp, choosing overwrite.
Walk throught the General settinsg and usergroup permissions, as there are many new settings.

Thank you
Chris

1.- How it works

A user posts an Ad. If the user hasn't post a profile before, the system auto creates one for him, populating it with any data there are in his forum profile.
Members who are searching or browsing ads can see his ad. According the adtype (For-sale, Wanted, Auction), they can Buy it or Bid on it. The ad becomes invisible to public.
System PMs seller about the sale. Seller can accept or decline the sale. In case of accept the ad is marking as pending payment. If seller declines the sale, the ad is activating again.
When the payment is done, seller marks it as paid, the ad is removing from the server (with all related photos and attachments), and some data remain for history only.
System PMs buyer that the sale has been finalized, and prompts him to rate and review the seller.
In a time frame that admin has setup, seller and buyer can review each other. During this period reviews are hidden. When the time frame expires, the reviews become visible. Also with the help of a cron job, there is a check which activates reviews, even before the expiration, if both parties have post the review.

Again, I just love what you have here but let me address what I feel is top priority and missing.

A few days of testing this not one ad is getting indexed. They are buried inside our forums with no spidering. Without it being indexed, its no value to advertisers or paying customers installing this from a Pro level. I also do not believe others will support something long term if it doesn't produce results so the question then is, will you pull the plug from lack of support?
You are so close to something very marketable for vbulletin. please hear me out.

Example: If I post an ad in a dedicated forum however, its indexed right away and the world can find it. If I post an ad in this, no one is finding it. I want this software add-on to help attract more traffic and help my community sell their item(s)

Please don't take this as an attack . SEO is the key and its up to the coder to include this into the script, don't you all think so? A classified that can be found on the web is worth installing.
Who cares how great it looks and works if no one finds the ads. I would gladly pay for that. As is though, it looks and works great but isn't SEO friendly.

Please Please look into this.

Please Please look into this.

Still haven't clarified if you're talking for vbSeo rules, or standard rules in htaccess. Maybe both are doing the same work, but for me there is a big difference. I don't have vbseo:-).

One in categories listings, and one in the search results. The problem is that if you scroll down and see any referrence to: $objGrid-> FormatColumn(..........,"60","center");, the number before the aligment is fixed. In this case 60 means 60px. In the customized version that I ordered means %. As you can understand with fixed column width is very difficult to adjust the page. Even if the grid gets 100% of the available space, still will remain an empty column at the end.

As for the Arabic language (by the way I've lived 2 years in Kuwait

). I don't think that should be any problem, as there are no problems with Greek characters which is also a problematic language. If you've setup vB to use RTL, then should be works fine. As for the character set. I've set it to work with UTF-8. Are you using another charset?

Chris

OH you were in Kuwait It is one of our Gulf countries

Thanks Chris for great support.

In the datagrid I have 4 issues
Please have a look to the screen-shot maybe you can support us

1- This is (Condition) column, nothing appears here!
When I enter any item, I can see the condition inside, but in data grid it is not appearing.

2- After edit (microclassifieds\datagrid\class\phpmydatagrid.cla ss.php)
I searched for (Displaying rows) and translated to ARABIC
About charset, I am using "windows-1256"
I am not sure what should I write in "var $charset" so I kept it as it is.

Code:

var $charset = "ISO-8859-1";  var $sqlcharset = "windows-1256";

3- I want to move it to right side.

4- how center all text in all cells?

Hi,
No, I don't mean vbseo. I mean... in general, search engine optimized so the ads get indexed. The way it is now, the ad title and content isn't getting indexed. Something isn't streaming (google follow via indexing bots) from the forum to the Classified and into the advertising content.
I'm sorry, I don't have the best terminology for this but I know its not optimized so the search engines will find the ads. Does this makes more sense to you ?

Please... Please... Please... DON'T EDIT THE FILE phpMyDataGrid.php !!!! It's not that you're not allowed to do it, but EVERYTHING that is there can be set without modififying this file. Also in every update you'll loose all changes.

Examle:
1.- Do you want to translate the Grid in Arabic? Just rename any file in the directory microclassifieds/datagrid/languages that you don't plan to use (eg de.php) to ar.php, translate all the phrases, and then goto microCLASSIFIEDS settings and set as Grid Interface Language .... ar ... That's all. Do you want to change the charset to 1256? No problem. Change Character set to use for displaying data in grids from utf-8 to windows-1256. I spent hours to make your life easier. Avoid the difficult (and sometimes dangerous ways).

2.- As I wrote before. I'm missing free time. There was a bug in condition, I've post the correct file 3-4 times already (if you check previous pages), but still I haven't add in the districution file. Please upload the attached file and it will correct it.

Do you mean URLs like these (they're from my old site):

http://www.marteri.com/Forums/3/MART...g-Modules.html
http://www.marteri.com/Thread/22/Testing-emoticons.html

I'm working on them, should be ready tomorrow, but should be in the PRO version only. But I will not restrict anyone to post such rules for free here.

Edited: Later today, or tomorrow morning you can visit my demo site at: http://www.christeris.net/vb4/classifieds.php to see what I mean.

I just re uploaded the original file (phpMyDataGrid.php) and from admincp I changed (Grid Data Language) from UTF-8 >> windows-1256
But nothing changed! I should edit the file (phpMyDataGrid.php) and exactly this line:

var $sqlcharset = "";

To

var $sqlcharset = "windows-1256";

Then I get correct Arabic words. I don't know why!

I tried this method, It is easier but I got same result, The Arabic words appears as a question marks (???????) - see the previous screen-shot.
