Ads from this Seller needs to be hidden

shorelocal · February 3rd, 2007, 02:06 AM

I've spent a few hours trying to work this out, but just can't get it to work, so I'm back asking for help again.

My classifieds board allows Unregistered users to post and the "Ads from this Seller" link shows up for all users, registered or not. This link doesn't work for Unregistered users so I'd like to hide it and have it show up on ads posted by Registered users only (similar to the "Contact Seller" link). I've looked and looked but don't see where to edit the code. Is this is simple code edit or do I need to add new code to the showproduct.php file?

Please provide example of where your talking about

The only place I see that link is used is in showmembers.php script

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Hey Chuck,

Here's an example of an ad from an Unregistered user:

http://buysell.bigring.ca/showproduc...7&limit=recent

And here's an example of an ad from a Registered User:

http://buysell.bigring.ca/showproduc...8&limit=recent

As you can see at the bottom right, the "Ads from this Seller" link shows up on both ads. This is on the showproduct.tmpl

If you do not wish to show it delete this from showproduct template

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Thanks Chuck, but I don't want to remove this feature, I just want to hide it from Unregistered Users b/c it doesn't do anything. Is there a switch somewhere that can trigger this only for Registered users? Kinda like the "Contact Seller" button/link?

Change the code in post 4 to this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck, unfortunately, that modification doesn't work for what I am trying to accomplish. Here is an example of exactly what I am looking to achieve.

Guest ads do not show the "Contact Seller" or the "Ads from this Seller" links/buttons here: Link

Registered user's ads DO show the "Contact Seller" or the "Ads from this Seller" links/buttons here: Link

As you can see, the code doesn't change for guests viewing the ads or registered users viewing the ads. The difference depends on what type of user posted the ad (same as the way the "Contact Seller" link already works).

The contact sellet link is suppose to show for everyone it is the only way to contact a seller of an ad. Your ads from this seller link work on this example also
If the user is 0 or guest no ads show so there are no errors within our code.

You also seem to be using an older version of the software cause clearly the little edit I provided you is clearly the correct course of action to remove the ads from this seller link and hit it for guests so please use 2.6
