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.

another quick question - do you check on max image size and if so, is there a setting where I can change this?

Max size in Kb or in dimensions?. I'm checking dimensions. Please try to understand something very important on coding. By adding lot's of restrictions, means lots of checks, something that is not so good to performance. Sometimes by using just simple logic is better. By allowing just gif,jpg,png on a max width eg 600, the photo only in a very few situations should be more than 200kb. So why to add one more restriction? I can accept this filesize restriction on audio and video files, but not on photos.

I can have a 4000x4000 image that is less than 20k.
If I set the limit to 800x600 in the options, this image, although very small in bytes, would not be allowed if I set the limits based on width/height.

The check can be for size in pixels, or the check can be for size in bytes. You chose dimensions - I respect your decision, but I don't necessarily agree with it.

>Please try to understand something very important on coding

Thanks for the coding tip - I pretty much learned that long before I finished my masters degree in computer science.

btw: I had already added the multiple file upload before you released your 1.10 yesterday... I also added the ability to upload in .zip format and.... added additional "pay" options, added a maximum number of active ads per usergroupid option, and... changed the ad listings to show the title, the user, the price, and the expire date in tabular format in the "classifieds_categorieslistingadline" instead of just the title of the ad. Your original code however saved me a ton of work and for that, I definitely thank you.

Lucky you. Bad luck for me, being 1st child of a 5 children family, I had to stop the hight school and start working since my age of 15, to be give the opportunity to the upcoming boys of the family to be able to study. Bad, but true fact in Greece of 1970, that women are just to serve family. But I had the curage to finish hight school when I was 40. What I know (in programming and Englihs language) are things that I self-teached by reading books and I can say that since 1984 that for first time I started programming in dBase II, I've lots of projects around.

I made comment on this row

PHP Code:

 $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = $styleid; 


and now it works the way I wan't.

No luck here... I ran away from home when I was 16, got a job and finished high school on my own in a city 200 miles from my parents. Worked to pay for college , dropping out whenever I ran out of money, back in again when I had saved enough for a semester or two. It took me 6 years to get a 4-year undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering... worked 10 years in research and development at Cummins Engine, then quit my job and went back to get a masters in computer science at age 35.

btw: I taught college programing for a while to help get me thru grad school - your coding is pretty good... especially for being self-taught - kudos to you.

Ok, enuff slobbering over each other.... back to "Classifieds"... sorry for the interuption folks.

Try a trick that I found that sometimes works. From vBulletin Options choose Cookies and HTTP headers options and set to NO GZIP HTML Output.

what is the link to your forum?

add classified.php to that link and it should work

ie. if the link is http://yourwebsite/forum
use http://yourwebsite/forum/classifieds.php

Is it possible to use this with "virtual" currency? Actually, I'd rather NO currency. I'd like for people to be able to put up an add and say "this much" but not have any sort of paypal, etc...

Basically, I have members that offer virtual items in a game. I don't want anything to do with real money, etc. More of a "contract" if you will if someone buys something.
