Premium Classifieds Mod Support (Modzzz) - part 2

This mod has been updated for Dolphin 7.1 . See the readme_upgrades.txt in the zip file for instructions.

Great  - good to see outline integration!

I have made adjustments to the Dolphin 7.1 upgrade. Download that version again and re-upload all files.

Great Mod. Have used it for a while now. No complaints.

I would like to do one thing however. How do I remove the "Why?" field. Seems a little weird to me. Just burning up valuable space in the RSS feed on my homepage.

Works great on 7.1 BTW.

Whoops. There is another issue that has always been there. I'm afraid it could be called a complaint. (sorry)

When you select multiple boxes to add photos, then select the first photo, it populates all the boxes you have open with the first URL you choose. This can be confusing when you're trying to keep your place in the process. On more than one occasion, I have accidentally uploaded the same photo twice or three times. Is there a way we can keep each box empty until I actually add a photo url to it?

In these files :

    modulesmodzzzclassifiedtemplatesbaseunit.html

    modulesmodzzzclassifiedtemplatesbaseunit_admin.html

Find and remove this code :

        <div class="bx-twig-unit-title bx-def-font-h2">
            <bx_if:why>
                <div class="unit_why">
                    <span class="attribute-title"><bx_text:_modzzz_classified_why /> </span>
                    <img src="<bx_icon_url:start_quote_gray.gif />" />
                        __why__
                    <img src="<bx_icon_url:end_quote_gray.gif />" />
                </div>
            </bx_if:why>
        </div>

If you add multiple file input boxes before you choose any URL then they are not populated with the first URL. The issue you mention occurs if you select a URL and then click the add more button. This is normal functionality as the file input box is replicated in the same state it existed in. There is no way to empty the file input after an URL is selected.

Does this module actually integrate with Outline? 

I was not able to see that feature on the module features page.

 Yes, this mod is integrated with Outline.

The why box and question is still showing up on the add new classified page. I did clear the cache in Dolphin as well as my browser.

The modification I provided earlier only removes it from the display. To remove it from the entry form also, see below :

In modulesmodzzzclassifiedclassesBxClassifiedFormAdd.php

Find and remove :

                'why' => array(
                    'type' => 'textarea',
                    'name' => 'why',
                    'caption' => $sWhyCaptionC,
                    'required' => false,
                    'db' => array (
                        'pass' => 'Xss',
                    ),                   
                ),

Perfect! Thank you!

Here's a thought. Your mod might be used by a lot of different people at a lot of different levels. Making some of these things (Like the Why box) switchable where they can be turned on or off, depending on the need, would be a great upgrade for the next version.

Just sayin.

Thanks again for excellent work. Hope you enjoy your Christmas

New problem. Once I've uploaded the photos for the first time, everything is fine. If I go back and edit the entry, then I lost the thumbnail in the RSS feed. I go back, re edit it, select the thumbnail image, then save. Still doesn's show. I'm left with the default 'classified ads' image that came with the mod.

Can I get a response please? I want to start filing this mod with content but am worried I am going to have an issue with the images.

If you create a new ad, it works fine. The image shows up as a thumbnail.

If you edit the ad, the image disappears and the thumbnail is replaced with the default classified image.

No amount of editing or re-selecting the thumb image causes it to re appear, the ONLY way to fix it is to delete the ad and re upload everything.

I've removed the mod, reinstalled it, also installed the latest version. Nothing fixes it. Can I get a response please? Have been asking for days.

An issue with images have been resolved for Dolphin 7.1 . Re-upload all files.

Problem resolved. Thank you.

Great mod as always.

How easy is it to write the system with "query string" in URL?

eg, 

/search?Keyword=&Parent=2&Category=&Country=US&State=AZ&City=&submit_form=Submit

That way the URL's can be pushed into other sections within the site and to external sites.

Your Business Listing has that functionality.

Hello

Little problem during de upgrade  2.1.2 ---> 2.1.3

Database query error

Query:

UPDATE `sys_sbs_entries` SET `subscription_id` = 56 WHERE `subscription_id` = 59

Mysql error:

Duplicate entry '3175-1-56-59' for key 2

Found error in the file '/var/www/vhosts/XXXXX.com/httpdocs/sqlupdate.php' at line 145.

Called 'db_res' function with erroneous argument #0.

Have you an idea ?

Thanks per advance

Some abnormal condition is causing the duplicate entry in the database. I will need to look in the database and see why this is happening. PM me the relevant login details.

I have fix the problem...

However, the map in Classified is the map of Members and not map of classifieds...

Normal ?

Thanks per advance

 The Classifieds mod has it's unique Map. PM me a link to the site so I can see your situation.

Sorry, but i can't give access sql for security reasons...

We are going to try to make the corrections...

Thanks a lot

Hi

I would like to purchase and install the PREMIUM EVENTS module, but KEEP the standard dolphin EVENT module event as well. In other words, I need to have STANDARD EVENT on one side, as well as PREMIUM EVENTS on the other side and both working independtly ...

Is this possible ?

thanks !

 I asked for your site link, not sql access.

  I have responded to your PM on this.

Just got a report from one of my members. She just lost some 40 of her ads because they expired and the relist button would not work for her.

The mod was set to default 5 days. She got the emails warning her they were expiring, then went in on the 5th day and could not successfully relist them. I was not available over the weekend so the ads expired AND I CAN'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE!

She is now forced to re submit every ad and she is not a happy camper.

Question #1. Why is the default set to 5 days? That's too short by anyone's standards.

Question #2. Where do the ads go? Are they auto deleted once they expire? That's also a little ridiculous. There should be a setting that either allows or disallows auto-deletion (the second requiring admin input for final deletion). This is also a no brainer.

Question #3. What's wrong with the relist button? I am going to post a couple ads myself later this evening and see if I can repeat the behavior after I check permissions but this specific member is very computer savvy and I don't believe she would misrepresent the failure to me.

I love this mod but this is a major set back for me this morning. I have managed to smooth things over with my customer but I really need these issues, especially the auto deletion, dealt with or the mod becomes unusable for me.

Ok, a quick check shows they are all still in the DB. Even as admin, I cannot access them through the admin panel. I tried changing one from 'expired' to 'approved' but apparently the date setting is causing them to revert right back.I can't change the date because it's written in a format I do not understand (1358782638)

I think the admin should be able to view and edit every users expired ads and make changes as required. How can I run a query to at least get all these back to approved status?

The mod does not default to 5 days. The administrator of the site must have configured it to 5. By default, Classified expiration is not enabled.

There is no auto-deletion. The status of the listings has been flagged as 'expired'. The client can access them by going to the 'My Classified' section and clicking on the 'expired' tab.

Regarding the re-listing ... is the mod configured to operate in free mode or do you have paid packages ?

See my previous response. I do agree that Admin should also be able to access the expired listings. I will add that functionality.

Free mode... Also, I successfully changed one back to approved from within the database so I can re enable these ads.... Just freakin out a little.. lol

She did go to the expired page and try to relist, that was where she was having trouble,,,

Ok, I reset the expiration to 60 days. I then reset one of the ads to approve. It displayed one time, then went back into expired status. How do I solve that problem?

I figured out the expiry_date. I can just reset it to 0 to remove the date, then delete it manually when the time comes. That will work for now. If you can explain that date format, I could then just manually set it to expire in 60 days...

Sorry about the minifreakout...

Need a little help adding some padding here and there.

If you look at the thumbs, they are crammed right against the box title as well as the margins. Where would I add a little padding to clean this up?

Check to see if you have this file :

     modules/modzzz/classified/templates/base/default_padding.html

If you do, delete it and clear cache.

That did the trick, thanks!

Hi!

When I'm not logged, I've a "Access denied" message when I try to add a classified. But I enabled the "Add classified" action for non-member membership.

Is it possible to allow non-members to add classifieds for free, and to active the "Activate Paid Classifieds" option at the same time ?

How to do this ?

Thanks

 Only registered site members can use the module.

Do you think about an evolution of your mod ?

Many sites of Ads now allow to post without creating an account. I think it's an obstacle for webmasters to force non-members to log in to able able to use web services.

Thank you

 Noted. I will explore the inclusion of this functionality in a future update.

Version 2.1.3 released. (See patches/version_2.1.3 folder in zip file)

Added Classified Types (sale, rental, service etc) to pre-defined list so that they can be managed by Admin.

Added Payment Types (per month, per session etc.) to the module. This makes it easier to state the price in Ads. For example, you can now state the cost per week for a rental or the cost per session for a service and so forth.

 Hi.

Do visitors can ask for informations to sellers, or do they have to be logged ?

I enabled Ask Vendor and Make inquiry to non-members, with no success ..!

Thank you

Adjustments will have to be made to allow non-members to use these features. I have noted this request for possible inclusion in a future update.

 Hello.

I've a problem with expiration of ads too.

Point 1 : I created both payed and free packages, with different durations, and different features (featured, with images or not)

But in the modzzz_classified_main table, all ads have the '0' value for featured_expiration_date field. Why is it always the same value ?

Point 2 : Even I set values for expiration notification mails (pre=3 and post=0), I also have the '0' value in both pre_expire_notify and post_expire_notify for each ad. Both "Active mail notification" are checked. Why the mod doesn't consider the parameters ?

Point 3 : I never receive those notification emails, and the ads still appears on the website, even they are expired. The info block displays the correct creation date and the correct expiration date. Why the ad is still displayed after the axpiration date ?

This is a Dolphin 7.1.1 installation and a Premium Classifieds Mod upgraded from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3.

Thank you

 In the admin settings for the mod, ensure that you have 'Activate Paid Classifieds' turned on.

 This box is checked. All options are checked, except "Activate all categories after creation automatically" and "Allow video embed when video upload is disabled".

The other possibility is that your cron job is not being executed. Ensure that the cron job for Dolphin is setup properly in your CPanel (this should have been done when the Dolphin script was installed).

Hello, and thank you for fast support.

You were right : my settings for cronjob were not executed.

Thank you, and long life to Premium Classifieds !
