Classifieds
by Christos Teriakis
aka ChrisTERiS


Please note that from

you can get support only in my site

Demo: http://www.christeris.net/dev42/classifieds.php

1.- What's this mod?

Is better to say what is NOT this mod . For those who have used MarysClassifieds, I can say that they are 2 products which you can't compate. MarysClassifieds had dozens of features, but when I installed in my site I realized that I need only 10% of those features. Maybe less. This is SL Classifieds. A minimalist version of MarysClassifieds, but I bet that 70% of the webmasters will find this one more pretty, more usefull.
  • It supports 4 types of Classifieds:
    • For Sale
    • Wanted
    • For Trade
    • Free Offers
  • Supports unlimited categories
  • Supports Extra fields (but not searchable)
  • Has PM templates for:
    • PM user when admin approves his Classifieds
    • PM user when admin rejects Classified
    • PM seller when a user Makes an Offer
    • PM seller when a user clicks Buy it
    • PM seller when a use uses the contact form
  • Supports 5 statuses:
    • Open
    • Hidden
    • Reserved
    • Expired
    • Sold
    • Please note that unlike my old mod, here nothing is automatic. The seller has to take care to switch between statuses.
  • There are listings for:
    • Category classifieds
    • Timeframe (What's New) Classifieds
    • Seller Classifieds
    • Search Results
  • In view Ad page the visitor can see also:
    • Other classifieds from the same seller
    • Similar classifieds from the same category
  • In all pages there are available the follow blocks having the appearance of widgets:
    • Category Menu
    • Search Form
    • Statistics
    • Latest classifieds
    • Popular classifieds
    • Soon to expire classifieds.
  • Version 1.5 additions:
    • Facebook Like Advanced (Shows users who liked it)
    • RSS Feeds of last 10 Classifieds
    • Seller has the ability to not mark a classifieds as reserved when a user clickc BuyNow, in case that he has stock of the same items and he wants to keep classifieds active.
    • Added description in extra fields appearing as help text in add/edit form.
    • In case that a category has no subcategories, beside the "No more categories" added an icon/link to previous category level.
2.- How you can make (a bit) money with it.

Using vBulletin's Subscriptions Manager you can set subscription which will upgrade the subscribers to a higher usergroup with more privilenges in SL Classifieds. eg:
  • To restrict post in specific categories. The system works such a way that for each category you can set who can post:
    • All usergroups
    • None usergroup
    • Specific usergroup(s).
  • To allow more days for postings. eg usergroup A can set a maximum of 15 days before the Ad will remove from the system, while usergroup B can set the Ad's duration for 45 days etc.
  • Concurrent Ads. eg Register users can have only 1 active ad, while your VIP usergroup can has 5 ..or 10 ... or whatever you want.
  • More photos per Ad
3.- Installation
  1. Download and unzip the file Classifieds_XXXX.zip
  2. Upload the content of upload folder to the directory where your vB installation is. As a check: classifieds.php must be on the same directoru as global.php, forum.php etc. SL Classifieds are not working out of vB installation directory.
  3. CMOD 777 the directories:
    1. christeris/classifieds/photos
    2. christeris/classifieds/photos/thumbs
    3. christeris/classifieds/photos/tmp
  4. Goto Admincp and import product-classifieds.xml. Double check before if you have another product with the same name.
  5. Set the various settings in Classifieds->General settings
  6. Set usergroup permissions
  7. Check and modify if you want PM templates.
  8. Set categories
  9. Set Extra fields (in case that you want them).
4.- SEO URLs
  • If you're using vbSeo open the file Classifieds_vBSEO_Custom_Rewrite_Rules.txt and add them to your vbSeo installation.
  • If you're using .htaccasse file copy the contents of htaccess.txt and add it to your current .htaccess files. If you don't have such file and your server is compatible with such files, upload htaccess.txt to your vB directory and rename it to: .htaccess
5. CMS Widget / Forum Sidebar Block for Latest Classifieds
  1. Shows latest 5 Classifieds. If you want to change the number to another value change at 1st line: $maxitems = 5;
  2. Installation as CMS Widget
    1. Goto Admincp-> vBulletin CMS-> Widgets
    2. Click "Create New Widget" at the list bottom
    3. Set Widget Type: PHP Direct Execution
    4. Give a Title which appears at the widget. eg Last Classifieds, or.. Last 5 Classifieds etc
    5. Click SAVE
    6. Find in the list the new widget and click configure at the right side
    7. Replace the example code, with the code from Widget_Latest_Classifieds.txt
    8. Click Save
    9. Goto Layout and add it in any section you want
    10. Click Save (Layout)
  3. Installation as Forum sidebar Block
    1. Goto Admincp-> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Block Manager
    2. Click Add Block
    3. In the next screen "Select block type: Custom HTML/PHP"
    4. Click Continue
    5. Title: Latest Classifieds
    6. Content Type: PHP
    7. Content: Copy & Paste the code from Widget_Latest_Classifieds.txt
    8. Click Save. The block will be now visible to your forum sidebar
6.- Copyright Link

Since the time that DBTech released their Copyright Manager, I've removed my own copyrights. I found their action insulting me to maximum. Their wording "Site is powered by vBulletin AddOns and Modules by Dragonbyte Tech" (and not "Some parts of this site"), means that everything there is their own work, ignoring on the worst way the fact that there are 100's of other coders and designers who are supporting this community for years. So, I'm letting the glory to them. No copyrights from my side.

Enjoy it

Moderation it says appore not approve but other than this it's a great plugin. Easy to use and I have added in a few minutes. I have been looking at other products like phpmydirectory which are great but take a long time to implement. This is great and is quick, easy, straightforward and built into vBulletin. If you could just link into the activity stream for 2.4.1 that would do everything for me.

What do you mean? Did you found any bug on it. I've seperated the need for approval per usergroup for more flexibility. eg you many want to approve posts from registered members, but you don't want to do it for a premium members usergroup.

I've a license for phpMyDirectory around 7 years ago. It started as directory (links) script and then improved to support classifieds. But even the best php script can't be a real part of vBuleetin other than sharing login. There are some others which can be implement with design and/or usergroup permissions, but again is difficult to work with them.

That happens because I don't have a seperate vB license to use for demostration. I asked a favor from vB.com to allow me to have an installation with closed registrations (other than 3 demo accounts) and they refused it. So I'm using my developer installation which most offen bring errors. eg currently I'm working in a reviews mod and many time I'm turning seo on/off, or for minor changes that I'm doing in files I forget to update the installation.

Sorry I can't get your meaning. First of all that menu is visible only to those who have permission to moderate classifieds. Clicking the link you'll redirects you to:
classifieds_modcp.php?do=approveads
where you'll see a list of all classifieds awaiting approval. On the right of each classified you'll see a droplist with options to Approve or Rejece it. After this action the user will be get a PM with info if his ad has been approved or rejected.

Edited: I just seen the typo. Appore instead Approve. Ok I'll fix it. But you can easily modify the phrase from your admincp language and phrases.

Edited 2: Import the attached file and it will fix it.

Don't remember in which version vB added the Navigation Manager. I think it was 4.2. If you don't have the Navigation manager should not works.

Also if I create an wanted classified with no picture it all looks ok except the image is missing in the main list. The other parts show the 'no image available' icon. Please see example:

Also if this is dependent on 4.2 can we have the classifieds added to the 4.2 activity stream? I am not a coder but I think this shouldn't be that hard...

Please instead of screenshots post URL of that page so I can easily see the page's output code and understand if the path is wrong, or whatever else is wrong.
