Major Additions - Classifieds

Removed by the Author because:

• For 7 mods, there are 1905 downloads but only 577 clicked installed.
• For these 577 installs I got 4 donations for Brand Free. Make a simple search on the net using the product name and you'll find that 50% have illegally removed my copyright.
• I found 3 vb.org style sites, offering for download my mods but after PAID SUBSCRIPTION, or DONATION

After all, I'll stop be the idiot on this market.

2.- Installation

1. Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
2. CMOD the following directories to 777
   1. /photos (inside classifieds directory)
   2. /tmp (inside classifieds/photos directory)
   3. /thumbs (inside classifieds/photos directory)
3. For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
4. Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
5. From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_classifieds.xml
6. If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template:
   Search For:
   Code:
   <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
   Add Below:
   Code:
   <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="classifieds.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Classifieds</a></td>
   ....or use any other word you want
7. By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbfclassifieds, so you need to give permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
8. If you've installed vbSEO, Login into vbSEO Control Panel, click "Custom Rewrite Rules", insert rewrite rules (attached in vbseo-rules.txt to not lose formatting) and save settings.

5. There is no commercial version. This is the one.

5.- Copyright Removal

For those who want to remove my link back which appears at the page's footer, they must contact me. Please note that the the license goes by person and not by domain, so you can use it in as many domains are operating by the same person.

For some strange odd reason I installed this hack and cant find where under the usergroup permissions you can allow permission to see the classifieds?? Am I missing something?

Okay I fixed that issue. Seems I did not upload a couple of directory files.
I have a new issue now when clicking the "Add Classified" link. I get an error message.....

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.4:

Invalid SQL:

As you supposed, the error comes as there are no categories (categoryid=). You can add categories/subcategories from the admincp.

Nevermind figured it out! It would help if I added categories!

[freewilley]

its nice to see mary back with this.. good work..

[Ozidoggy]

Is there a way of showing random/latest classifieds on the forumhome page? Or will this be a future feature?

GREAT mod - I am currently using photopost classifieds.. But will be changing to yours!

Thanks

[Ozidoggy]

For some reason photos are not uploading or showing.

I have CHMOD 777 photos, thumbs, tmp. I have in usergroups allowed user to post 5 photos.

Also when I select number of photos to say '3' it only allows one photo to be up loaded.

Not sure why photos are not up loading

[Anonymous ?]

Mary, there is a typo in your code (1.2.0):

<a href="classifieds.php?do=do=deletead&adid=$ad[id]&title=$title"><b>$vbphrase[classifieds_reject]</b></a>

Thanks!

*SOLVED*

Some questions.

[s]1. Why do all new ads automatically show up as sponsored and premium ads? What is the sponsored and premium ad status for, if all ads are tagged this way unless I manually remove the status one by one?[/s] edit: I found answer to this in 3.8 mod thread.

[s]2. Some members (sellers) do not use Paypal.
If no email address is entered for Paypal payments, buyer is still directed to fill out the form, and then is taken to pay-pal site just to see error about no valid email address. I believe this would irritate the potential buyer.
Is there a way to automatically remove (or hide), the "buy it link and image" from displaying, when seller does not accept pay-pal? Maybe redirect them to PM the seller for info.[/s] edit: I found solution to this.

[s]3. Is there anyway for seller to "close an ad", or "mark it Sold" after they have sold the items listed in an ad? Some way so that people could not be send payments after the seller has sold out.[/s] edit: after reading in 3.8 mods thread, I don't believe this is possible dur to the fact that you have sellers using paypal and some not using it. Those not using paypal would not have any basis to mark sold off of.


I've clicked "installed" but only have it on my test site right now until I understand it better. So far :up: I like it.

Thanks for your help.
