To output the date like this February 8, 2007, 7:22 am

use

PHP Code:

date("F j, Y, g:i a"); 


Or

PHP Code:

<?php
echo date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A");
?>

Blaine,
The count down doesn't close auctions... It just starts a - (negative) count down. On my test board I have two auctions which would have ended this morning. Their status now shows -0D 2H... etc..

I love this script keep working on it. Let me know how I can help Thanks.

Sorry about that, i think when i added the cron it only executes on sundays for some reason. :P oops. Image functions arent working ATM, but ill add some quck features while im at school right now.

As for certain usergroups being able to do certain things, only registered users can bid on auctions, and only people in the 'sellers' group can post auctions

Thanks Blaine..

I have installed it and I've been looking throught the templates to translate the phrases into Norwegian. I was looking to find where I can add more categories, and edit the one that is already there, but I must be blind, because I can't find it. Can somone please point me in the right direction? TIA!

Nevermind! I WAS blind... found it now!

[misticjeff]

Couple things.... I went ahead and installed this and it seems to be working correctly...

But... we definitely need a few basics. If I had a clue about coding i'd work on it but alas do not.

- Full Photo Support
- PM and/or email integration
- Auction editing capabilities once auction is submitted

And a question. In the admin area can you specifiy more than one usergroup who is allowed to post auctions? If not, this is a must!

Thanks for the work so far.

Jeff

ps - bug report: When you delete an auction in the admin backend it does get deleted but throws this message:
"Could not find phrase 'vbay_auction_deleted'."
