Thanks Chuck,

Your classifieds tie in nicely with the smf database, and that's great, but the visual element is just as important. It's a bit abrupt to send people to the classified page with no surrounding elements, headers, blocks, ect. It's almost as if they left my site.

I think it's something that should be addressed. When I purchased the license, seeing SMF integration on the features list. I thought that meant usable as is, especially for a paid product. And a visual tie in of some sort, since SMF is very "package" centric, with automatic use usually coming out of an installation.

I am working on getting this finished, I had already implemented an Iframe this evening.

You can see it here:

http://cnchobbies.com/index.php?page=6

The link is ugly, I'll probably change it to cnchobbies.com/classifieds/ and then just have that redirect to the link above.

In case anyone else is trying to do this. The link above is actually an html article I setup through the Tiny Portal article manager. The Iframe just calls the Photopost index.php page. I am not sure how it will appear once the classified pages start to grow. Iframes can be not all that attractive with scroll bars.

Thanks again, if anyone has a better idea or knows of a script I can use in SMF or Tiny Portal please post it here.
