"No Expiration" Sets Ad Term to 15 Days

TMSBrad · June 9th, 2010, 10:00 AM

The title pretty much says it all. I've posted two test ads with "How long do you want your ad to run?" set for No Expiration, but it still says there are 14 days left in the auction, and the values in products.enddate are 1277390449 and 1277390946.

There is no no expiration option in our latest code that was removed awhile ago.

I just bought the software a couple of weeks ago. I'm running PhotoPost Classifieds 4.0 vB3 Enhanced. Where can I get the latest version?

The latest version is 4.02

From what I see we make sure durations can only be numeric from this code.

If you want to allow no expiration you would need to remove this code in uploadproduct.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck is there any way to allow certain usergroups to have different times.. We have advertisers that are not very happy that they have to keep coming back to relist ads. Is there any way to manually make a change?

The user would pick the duration that they wish when they place an ad.

If the ad expires they are given the relist option.

If you have modified your code then make sure you have removed or added anything to make it works how you wish.

Ads are suppose to have a duration and expire that is an essential aspect of any classifieds site that the content is temporary.

Okay Okay so that was the intent when you guys wrote it... is there a way to make it where an ad doesnt expire?

At least is there a way to modify ads, I have an advertiser that had a temp enter his ads and they forgot to choose the longest time available. Now they have a lot of time invested entering ads, is there a way I can change the time to the max?

If you want to modify the code you can do so by adding a new number in the checduration like say 9999 in the code above and maybe adding a noexpire option in the duration selectbox for the upload templates but we do not provide product support for code mods.

There are I think mod discussions for no expiration on the forums here.
