Btw, I would recomend to spend some time on learning to optimize MySQL as it's not very fast right now, I needed to rewrite most of it

Well since you did spend the time to rework it and get it to run faster would you mind sharing with the rest of us with the permission of the author? The author would do good to look threw the changes to learn whats going on. And the rest of us can benefit from your work...

What exactly have you done to it anyhow....lol

Hi!

I changed a lot, also the admin. More integration into vBulletin and also functions specificly for selling parrots. (see screenshot)

To work with the code will cost a few days 12+ hours per day so I don't know if the author has time for it or is interested in it at all

It also uses some advanced technology that requires PHP 5.2 and since vBSEO requires Zend Optimizer and PHP5.2 and Zend Optimizer has a fatal bug (returning 404 errors randomly by a segmentation fault) and also other functions require advanced knowledge of Javascript and AJAX I don't know if the author is interested or able to do it (as then it might cost weeks to do it).

But I am willing to share some of the code if he is interested.

Btw one anti-hacking tip which is really important to know:

Users are able to execute MySQL queries if you do not escape posted data. E.g. if you have the folowing query:

"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `field`='{$postedinfo_x}' LIMIT 1"

Then a user could alter the code by submitting the folowing text:

' AND 1

Resulting in a return of all data. But also more harmfull queries could be performed like DROP TABLE or DROP DATABASE etc.

To protect against this, simply use the PHP function addslashes():

"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `field`='".addslashes($postedinfo_x)."' LIMIT 1"

Wow that looks great, if you were to send code to me (which i would greatly appreciate) i would need to remove the SEO, because not everyone uses it. but yea, i would greatly benefiet from the code, it seems you have completed some aspects i have failed, (nice wysiwyg BTW.)

oh, and click install

Hi, hereby some of the code.

Please note, you did not yet use the vBulletin Phrase system. I have fully converted the script to use vBulletin phrases so you will need to add them to your product.

Thanks for the info, its going to be hard without some of the templates though

[Blaine0002]

Where did you get your javascript for the WYSIWYG editor? or did you make that?

[MTVSlick]

I installed Vbay and it works in every way but, how do we upload pictures to the auction?

Mark,

Image function not yet implimented

random question for SEO, why did you make your own dotip2long when you can just use the default php ip2long()?

Never mind, i see its not even being used.

but i do have nother question, i do not know how SEO works, but how would i go about removing it.
