I will be posting instructions on how this script can be used on 3.5.x. forums later this evening. In short, this script was cleaned up and exported frp a 3.6.x. forum and to run this on a 3.5.x. forum need to create an execution order table in your pluggins table.

I have posted a Product to do that here:

very nice. Screenshots?

[Quarterbore]

I will have a demo running tonight as well as screenshots.

Sounds excellent.

2 questions,

1) I bought the original full version from the con artist known as Gio that sold the rights to the script to you. Do you have anything in place for people that bought the old script but got nothing?

2) Does this remove all the bugs that Gio never did and does it remove old adverts once they are closed after so long or does the DB constantly grow with old and closed adverts?

Thanks

I also bought the original .. I'd be interested to know where we stand

[simalert]

Although I've not found the answer to question 2 yet, I found the answer to question 1 on his site.

We will get a discount applied to the purchase price, although the option to get the discount doesn't seem to appear on the purchase screen. I've PM'd him on his site for this though, so it should be sorted soon enough.

It looks positive, quarterbore actually seems to put time in to this, Gio watch and learn!

I also bought two of the originals. I've just asked on the forums. Probably will be able to once you provide the payment details. Glad to see this excellent mod being worked on.

I sent you a PM on my site. I am offering a $20 discount to Gio's former customers but please use my site so this free version hack thread does not get removed!

Actually, I have been working on this for over three months. There are so many changes I can't list them myself...

OK, I have a DEMO of the script running at the following link:

I will have screenshots this evening.

What's the difference between the "lite/free" and "pay for" versions.

What are the problems mentioned above? Some bugs/cleanup or security issues?

I am working to identify the problems with the lite version. There were a few code fixes (template issues) that were made and a few people had problems with this hack when installed in 3.6.x. but I have not been able to reproduce the errors. I do not think there are any security issues.

As for comparing the two products, SR Classifieds is a lite version that allows Ad Types of BUY and SELL in one level of categories. With SR Classifieds there is no way to charge to list an item.

vBClassified is a much more diverse product and has a completely different operating database. It uses a concept of Ad Nature and an Admin can add as many Ad Types as they would like that use the basic nature codes. The current Nature codes include NO PRICE, FIXED PRICE, and INCREASING BIDS. vBClassified also allows multiple images with lightbox, private offers system, public comments, bid retraction logging, Commit to Buyer options, Deal Pending and Deal Done systems, and more. It also features an incremental bid system like ebay and sellers or site staff can delete bids. You can compare the two on my site at http://www.vbclassified.com and as you can see you can have both run on the same website as they do not use ANY of the same phrases, templates, or database tables/fields. vBClassified uses a system of credits that can be purchased with $Money or vBBux points and these credits can be set to various costs per category (including FREE). Credits are also optionally used to feature ads.

I am just starting to try to address the issues with SR CLASSIFIEDS lite. One issue I have noticed is that the whitespace is not preserved and I had to fix that in another of my projects but I need more time to trace the code to find the error.

If you join my site at vbclassified you can try the LITE version and see what it does and you can try the premium version as well. Both work quite well, it just depends on your needs.

I am a little confused about the version numbers.

Gio's was 1.02 and you said a a while back NOT to install it as you will be releasing a newer version when you got a chance to look at it.

Now you created this post here but the file is 1.03, however on your own site you say that this was gio's last version and again, don't install it as it needs alot of fixing.

I am confused.

Basically, is this a new version, or not?

If not, can you maybe give us a basic time frame (no hurry of course) as I have taken your advice and not installed it.

[edit]I downloaded it and read that it only has minor changes, so I guess I will still wait[/edit]

[Quarterbore]

Sorry for the confusion. There is a bug in the message area code that I am trying to find and fix in that if you use the standard editor the whitespace is preserver but if you use the "advanced" editor the formatting is messed up. The code that does this is in the sr_classifieds.php file as I looked at the template files and I did not see the error there.

I will update the product file when I find a fix with directions on how to move up to the new release.

This script can be installed and it should work fine. If anybody has problems, just let me know and I'll fix them.

I added this to my site, I wanted to test this before I buy the vbclassified. But I dont see
a paypal button,message box,users own page, And much much more! Any ideas?

[blind-eddie]

OK, I figured out where to comment, but on any site when you click on a persons name you are sent to their profile. This is the same in vbClassified. Also the paypal button should be inside the add, not outside. I am not a coder nor am I trying to be one, but I am a firm believer in making site navigation as user friendly as possible. Can this be done?
