Cannot edit ads

[djones44]

The permissions seems to be OK, the type for the admin under the ads is supposed to be there, but there is no visible way for a user or admin to edit an ad or delete it once posted (a legacy ad now in the wrong category).

How can I wake up the User Index edit functions?

what do you mean here? dont you see the edit product link when viewing an ad?

I just noticed the little icon among others at the bottom. Apologies.

However, I wonder if a new user might miss them too - but that's what sysops are for I guess.
Resolved!

Any progress on the Feature Block plug-in (loaded via VB3 Plug-in Mgr to provide a link back to PP), that generates a parsing error? Try it.

Your prompt help is appreciated, Chuck.

Not sure what you mean about the block there is no parse error that I see. what is the exact error you get.

being pasted into VB3.8. after I had opened that XML file in Notepad.

The resulting error, which disappears when the plug-in is subsequently deleted, is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/t/h/n/thnews/html/forums/index.php(594) : eval()'d code on line 1

well yout issue is most likely whatever you did in notepad etc

You would need to view the plugin and compare with what is posted in whatever mod thread and see what the difference is.

It's your Featured Block plugin for vbulletin. I probably have a bad path (installing it with the VB3.8 Plugin Manager) but can't figure it out or find the file or gallery directory it mentions.

If my sites are The Fractions Forum - Powered by vBulletin and Fractions Forum Classifieds - Login and this a new install with everything on the defaults.

What do you think I can try?

Here is your code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
- <plugins>
- <plugin active="1" product="vbulletin">
<title>Photopost Feature Block</title>
<hookname>forumhome_complete</hookname>
- <phpcode>
- <![CDATA[ include('../gallery/inc_features.php');
]]>
</phpcode>
</plugin>
</plugins>

Best Regards;

It's not? The code I showed is what's in that XML file. Here's what your link says:

Well, let's start over then.

How can I post a menu item in Vbulletin 3.8 to return a user to the Classifieds section? In fairness, I realize that's a Jelsoft support question, but I thought the XML file above was a plugin for that purpose.

The XML is not used to post a menu in the vb navbar. You need to actually do that by hand. Edit your vbulletin navbar and place a link in there like maybe so

Content visible to verified customers only.

Furthermore with respects to the xml it is used to place ads in an ad block on the forum homepage

what you have posted is NOT the contents of the XML file posted by me. based on this thread

http://www.photopost.com/forum/class...tin-3-5-a.html

Here is the contents of the xml file

Content visible to verified customers only.

Until you probally follow that posted thread and add the plugin to your vbulletin your not going to show a block of ads there.

Thanks Chuck, that worked.

Not a problem some way you where getting the Photopost pro and classifieds plugins mixed up
