How do members delete/mark as sold?

[michaelsilvia]

I can see the admin's ability to delete and ad, but none for a user to delete their ad or mark as sold. What am I missing?

Apparently these features are locked in along with being allowed to EDIT their ads.

[michaelsilvia]

Anyone?

Users need to be able to edit ads to perform any functions on the ad.

[michaelsilvia]

Chuck,

That does not work. I have logged in as the user and there is no function to delete ads. I can't believe there are many threads asking this same question and you guys have not come up with a solution to this. We need a simply function so users can remove their ads! I get member after member asking me this and makes the classifieds a pain in the butt because there is no answer.

If you are the user who placed an ad and in Admin => Admin Options you have it set to users can delete there ads and as noted in my post above you have set that users can edit there ads what happens when you hit edit ad? You do not see the delete box right there when editing the ad. I surely do.

[michaelsilvia]

Chuck,

This is so fun! Week after week and can't get this fixed.

I just logged in as a user. I clicked on the users ad and there is NO delete box. There is a DELETE IMAGE, but no DELETE AD.

I have never been so frustrated when dealing with VB PAID mod. I have registered users set in the admin to EDIT ADS.

At what point does Photopost actually do something other than trying to act smarter than the customer and actually do something to fix the problem? Just a suggestion, but if you search this forum you will see question after question regarding this problem. Actually fixing it so there is a DELETE ADS permission in the ACP may be useful instead of walking around the problem.

Week after week you just replied yesterday and this thread is a week old so sorry do no understand that comment.

I would suggest you redownload the build and upload all files except the two config files because I can guarantee 100% there is a delete button if you have them set to edit ad permissions and in admin options you have it set so users can delete ads.

We have explained how the function works and there is no issue here so make sure you dont have a mix of old and new files if this was an upgrade

This is what users will see when they hit edit ad as I have explained in my post. You set the permissions I noted in my post and a user is going to hit EDIT AD and this picture shows what they see

[michaelsilvia]

At what point do I actually get support? Are you using a differnet version? It looks like you Have V3 Enchanced from you screen shot. You also have stats on that screen i don't have. I am using 2.6. Are we just to go back and force here in this thread or am I actually going to get support?

[michaelsilvia]

I have uploaded three screen shots. I have user permissions set at edit (screen1), you can see the edit buton in screen 2, but when you go to the edit screen there is NO delete feature.

I bought this less than a month ago and it was a FRESH install of 2.6. I re uploaded the files as you said and still NOTHING. Three weeks and my members still can't delete. I love getting PM after PM about this.

I have explained how this works. There is indeed a delete box at the bottom of the editproduct screen

Here is the code right at the bottom of the editproduct template that confirms this

Content visible to verified customers only.

So lets break down that if clause.

1. USER DELETE MUST BE SET TO YES IN admin => admin options

$Globals['userdel'] == "yes"


2. The ad must be a regular ad.

$isauction == 0

3. The ad if an auction must have no bids on it to be able to be deleted

$isauction == 1 && $highbidder == 0

Now based on my explanation of how the program operates to show a delete box what case is yours here? The delete box is only not going to show in two cases. One you do not have users able to delete ads set in your admin options or this is not an ad but an auction and it has bids on it. Here is a picture to show what I see using the default 2.6 code

I just had the same problem as described in this thread, very frustrating, but now I know why it occured, maybe this will help others figuring this out.

It looks like it's simply a miss-print in the Control Panel that causes the confusion.

In the (PC 2.6) control panel, Admin Options, there is a selection

Allow users to move/delete their own images?

This should actually read

Allow users to delete their own ads?

After setting this to yes, my users get the delete option, but it had no effect on deleting images, which was already available.

Hope this help someone.

[michaelsilvia]

WOW! Thanks damon18! I can't believe that was it. Now my users can delete ads!

Chuck, this is an obvious problem and you should consider the changes damon suggested. I over looked the control in the admin because it said IMAGES, not ads.
