Just installed... (not in a production environment yet.. ) and I must say.. very nice..
If I may I have a few suggestions to make at first sight..(maybe they have been done before, but i didnt have time to look through all the posts..) 1. obvious todos.. a) WOL locations to avoid outputs like: Unknown Location /babelart/forums/vbay.php?do=myvbay&go=auctions @ 10:42 AM b) i tried to find a place where i could edit the images.. (replace an image in my auction), but maybe i'm blind  c) the image thumbnail output is very ugly for images that are portrait (vs. landscape) that are higher than wide.. in this case it would be better to have no width and hight tags at all.. (if you are interested.. i'm just rewriting the upload code for vbgallery.. there are some resizing code snippets that surely could be used...) check your pm.. just sent you a new vbaytn.php using gd2 instead of gd1 and correcting the display probs... NB: as for the todo of the seller feedback.. why not simply create an interface for the existing itrader add-on.. it is very flexible and has lots of features (display in profile etc.. etc..) and would save ressources.. 2. confusing settings I didnt find anyplace where i could set permissions for viewing the auctions.. example.. registered user.. has to input his streetadress just to view what is for sale???? or a guest user should be able to browse the auctions.. if he sees something interesting he can then register.. (personally I would never register at for example ebay just to be able to see what is for sale) for the moment.. as a guest i get the message: you must register to access the vbay system... and as a buyer (registered user just looking around) I always get prompted to fill in information that just a seller.. or real buyer should have to fill in.. but i am a simple user.. just wanting to see what is for sale... 3. my wishlist Phrasing.. phrasing and phrasing.. As i run a multilanguage site... it would be nice if: the vbay site title, the main message, the category titles and the helppart would be phrased the way the vbulltetin integrated customfields are phrased.. (title and description) i.e. when the field is created... the title of the field is inserted as a customphrase with the fieldname. When it is edited in the interface it is called $vbphrase[$fieldname]. But as admin i can also go to phrasemanager and add translations.. so that when a user switches for example to chinese language.. the title of the category will also be in chinese.. or in english if he switches to english.. that would really be coool  this is to be taken as ideas for future... Nevertheless i must say I am very impressed by what has been done in last couple of weeks.. Felix

Thanks for the feedback, ill try to respond to them one by one.
1. i have wol included but its either not working or has been outdated, Thanks for pointing this out though! I checked your pm as well, thanks a ton! 2. You make some good points and i agree i wouldnt want to sign up for a site i cant see in the first place. Ill also make it check to see if the person has entered in the address when the user either tries to buy, bid, or sell. 3.Im not sure exactly what you mean by title and description. I have most of the words phrased, but i do realize that in the boring job of making them all phrases i have missed a few. Ill get what i see included in the next version, bbut maybe this is not what you are talking about?

Example: categegories... ( i'm preparing an art site.. and would have lets say 2 categories: category 1: title -> Two dimensional art category 2: title -> Three dimensional art (off topic: i see in the db you have a field category description.. didnt find where to input AND both fields are text.. I would go down to varchar 100 at least for title, i think its faster) Ok now lets say my site is in english and chinese... the chinese user will still get to see the title (and probably future description) in english ... because it is not phrased.. (and is difficult to phrase) BUT there is a solution.. and it would be nice to have it.. When in vbulletin you create a custom profile field.. you have the same problem.. title and description being a field and you dont want to create x extra fields because not all users have the same number of languages installed... right? so what they did.. (at least its similar to that) you save the main title in the database.. like now.. but in parallel it creates a phrase in custom phrases (could be in the vbay phrase group) called for example $vbphrase[$catid_title] AND a second phrase called $vbphrase[$catid_desc]. (the identifier could be: $catid_title = 'vbay_cat_title_'. $cat['catid']; ) Now when creating the cat it also saves (creates) a new phrase called vbay_cat_title_1 when editing the cat.. it creates an extra field for each language so that the admin can enter the translations.. and in the front end templates you do not use anymore $cat['catname'] but instead $vbphrase[$catid_title$cat[catid]]... how it works can be easely seen in the vbulletin code... create a custom profilefield.. one line input.. give it a title and description.. then go to the phrases in group custom profile fields.. and you will see if the field you created is called field6 you will now have a phrase called field6_title and another one called field6_desc .... Advantage: if your site is multilanguage.. you dont have important stuff in a language you dont understand.. (imagine main language is chinese and the category names are in chinese even if the rest is phrased..) Important fields would be in my opinion: categories.. and Vbay Title and Vbay Announcements I hope you understood what i meen... Felix PS1: i'm preparing that system for forum titles and description.. if you want you can have the code bits to adapt.. (but they are not ready yet) PS2: I would though create a new phrasegroup for the global frontend phrases.. (vbay Global for example) so that they are loaded only on vbay pages.. (i think all the global vbay phrases are loaded on all vbulletin pages for the moment.. even in other addons like gallery and blog)(thinking of saving ressources and memory) sorry if explanation was a bit long.. but these days i have tendence to talk a lot... looool

No im glad you spent the time typing that up, i think i understand it much more
 thanks!One last question though When you create a new phrase group how would you specify for those phrases to only be loaded up in vbay?
