Hi,

really nice idea!

The only things I miss will be :

1. Different Currency
2. Possibility to let the Trader pay for the auction (percent from the highest bit bit) for example if the auction ends at 100 $ and he has pay 3% to the auction hous he has to pay 3 $
3. Possibility of the evaluation
4. Payment over paypal, ccbill etc.

But it looks good!

Greetings
Hans

How so?
what have i copied from ebay?

For the errors you guys get, what are you clicking on that makes that error

In the admincp trying to add cats or edit them you can get to it then when you hit edit or add it gives that 404 error.

Cool hack

But when I try to goto Main Settings in Vbay settings nothing comes up!!!! Any help would be great

[hawgjaw]

The main settings tab takes you too your regular cp options you then go to vbay in the drop down box for your main settings.

Any progress?

WHen using anyoptions in the AdminCP, upon accepting it redirectes to vbay.php rather than vbayadmin.php. To fix this redirect, I did a search and replace in the vbayadmin.php file on "Vbay" for "VbayAdmin" (matching the case and including the quotes as part of the search string) and also 'Vbay' for 'VbayAdmin' (same as above, but only single Quotes.

But then I get other errors:

If I comment out the 2 lines which have calls to ParseInputs() it partially works - I can add new categories and delete categories but if I try to rename a category, I end up with a blank names.

I'm sure Blaine has a bit more to add to it yet..

As yet there is no notification of an auction completing for either the buyer or the seller and no way of telling that the auction has finished except the "Days" is a '.' (period) rather than a remaining time.

As for ebay suing you, they get very ansy and all legal like over anything to do with auctions that rhymes with their name, a name change may be a good idea.

Keep up the good work Blaine!

How are you comment these 2 lines out dartho? Thanks

[dartho]

put 2 forward slashes in front of the lines - //

[Bounce]

When adding new category as mentoned above get:

The requested URL /forum/admincp/Vbay.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Same if I want to delete an auction etc
