When version will be available 2.x?

[DragonByte Tech]

We're working on it at the moment, it's in the Closed Beta stage, and we've got one or two major parts to get working better before we move to the Release Candidate stage.

A really great Add-on! Thanks!!!

But a few Questions.

1. I need the Min. Price at 0.00000001 - because of Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
If I set it with 8 digits, the offers only show 2 digits. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

2. Is the an existing german language pack?

3. Can I easy update to pro or do I need to reinstall all?

4. Is there a special offer for your Pro Versions, if I buy 3 or more of your Addons? Bitcoin Accepted?

Great work!
A suggestion: To delete countrycodes, it would be nice to be able to delete more than only one at time....

Thank you!

EDIT:
OK... the German Language pack is not longer needed.
The last 7 hours I translate self all into German(Du).
But the 8 Digits are really important for me. Would pay for a Solution.

Ive been searching for that area for some time now, cant find it in any settings, i must be lost..lol. any help?

[madkeen]

Go to your Admin

In the DBTech Classifieds drop down select "Manage Catergories"

Then on the right click on "Add Catergory"

I installed this addon and was even willing to pay for it. But I have to say that I am quite disappointed by the quality because nothing seems to work and there are many bugs in the "lite"-version.

I created categories, currencies, postage options etc and created a new offer for testing purposes. But after clicking on submit, I immediately received a PN that my item was "not sold" and has ended. Does that make any sense? No. And nope, the listing length was not "0 days" but "7 days".

More things that just don't make sense at all: when trying to EDIT an existing offer and then clicking on "PREVIEW listing", the "price"-textfield is missing and that means that it is completely impossible to submit the form because it returns an error no matter what you enter because there simply is no price-field that could contain any value.

More bugs that even lead to 404 errors: on the "viewlisting"-page for a single item, if you click on the category-links in the "Item Basic Details"-box, the URL contains
domainname.com/[ARG:3%20UNDEFINED]?do=listing&action=listing&categoryid=5
which obviously only leads to a 404 error.

That bug with the "[ARG:3%20UNDEFINED]" in the category-URLs exists on *all* installations of this addon, not only on my website.

More bugs: the order of the breadcrumb-elements is messed up very often and the links of certain breadcrumb elements also lead to pages that only display error messages because of missing or messed up parameters (not only on my websites but on ALL websites using this addon that I found using Google).

I could tell you several additional serious bugs but my time is limited.

But my conclusion is: currently this addon is not worth buying (and not even worth trying to install as free version because it contains too many bugs and creating listings simply doesn't work because they will be ended immediately).
