how do i delete sold ads?

sk24iam · January 25th, 2007, 08:28 PM

Once my ads on my site are marked sold by the poster, they don't delete on their own. They used to but since I have upgrade they remain in their category. Is there any way to set these to automatically delete once marked sold?

Ads never deleted in prior versions they simply stayed in the expired que. Ads auto delete in the new version after being expired 2 weeks. If this is not happening on your system I would suggest you redownload the build and upload all the core PHP files as maybe you have an old file still present.

Will they also go away in two weeks is they are marked sold too?

The new version is 2.6 correct?

The new version is 2.6

Expired ads are automatically deleted from the system if older than 2 weeks.

In my previous post I ask about ads that the user marks as SOLD. Are sold ads considered expired too?

Say a user lists an item for 30 days. He sells it in 5 days and marks it sold. Does it automatically delete in 14 days from the day he marked it sold??

If your using the latest code.

OK, great. I am running 2.6 as i believe that is the latest code.

Thanks!

To upgrade from 2.5 to 2.6, do you just upload the PHP files?

Chuck S · February 11th, 2007, 01:17 PM

yes this is what that check does it clears out the expired ads as a safety incase the admin does not stay on top of his clean up

Great. Thanks.

To upgrade from 2.5 to 2.6, can I just upload the PHP files? What's the minimum so I don't overwrite templates or custom stuff?

AH -- that's too funny. I've been manually deleteing them daily and have been on the new version for months. Old habbits are hard to break.
