end of auction

zentek · August 16th, 2009, 05:18 AM

Hi Chuck.
Been testing my classifieds and i had a freind put a picture on for sale which i had a bid on...when the auction ended there is no way to see who won the item...not even me as i won the picture...puzzled at this one.?

How can i see the item i have won ?

Have you setup your cron task to expire ads and auctions?

Cron Job: sendnotice.php

That needs to be done and you should get an email saying you won the bid.

You can run it in your browser if you wish every week yourself or every other day all depends but to run a background task on the server you need to use cron.

There is no hacking guide I can tell you that.

I can tell you what templates go to what scripts.

essentially thats easy the templates are usually named after the scripts.

here is a list of css style classes

Hello chuck

Why do you put out this software without any instructions or helpfiles ?
see the screen shots...i find your classifieds a little more than useless to be honest..i wish i had not wasted my money

Chuck S · October 18th, 2009, 12:40 PM

1. well HMM they show left aligned for me on my site so try this so I would have to look into the html and see if I see anything that would affect it

2. Your highlighting an ad thats why its highlighed I would think hard to know without seeing the actual site.

I dont think your going to find help files in any software how to edit the code sorry.

They should follow the yellow class

Your site should follow the css defined in the code. I see the yellow style in your header and the colors but for some reason your site does not render the color.

If you change to the say default style what shows?

Feel free also to grab my showproduct template and replace yours to see if your things align left when using mine

Stylesheet Guide

I posted a style guide on what each class is for

As far as that language phrase its SOLD and its editable in the admin under language edit strings.

zentek · November 1st, 2009, 05:04 AM

Chuck..sorry to be abrubt but you are not giving me what i want , your classifieds is horrible..i use vbulliten for a forum and i find this very understandable....unfortunatly classifieds is not...all i require is a list from you with all the page elements and where to go to change them...surely this is little to ask for paid for software..dont point me to that page again its a waste of space.

I am on borderline to scrap this as your after sales service and program info is little more than useless

Stylesheet Guide

The guide most definately tells you what style classes are for what on the part of a page in classifieds!

See here is a problem your post before said nothing about integration with vbulletin so your question was as far as I see it what styles in classifieds go to what part of the page so I can change things. I beleive I answered that. Now the one thing about using it with classifieds we use the vbulletin class colors not classifieds so really what colors you change needs to be done in vbulletin. Really asking a very direct question youi can get a direct answer.

Example your language string. You can not find where to change a language string. I very directly stated it can be found under admin edit language strings where you can search for a word and change the right string. it works pretty much like vbulletins phrase manager. If I search for SOLD I get strings returned and sure enough here is the right string

i never said anywhere i was using it with vbulletin..i do not want integration and have never made any suggestion of doing it....i think ive had enough of this poor software..

Where is the instruction manual ??????????????????
I work as an electrical inspector and i write and design inspection help filed so the technicians will find the job easy..its the professional way , why doesn't Classified embrase this method and get it sorted..its a long way from being good

I TRIED WHAT YOU SUGESTED AND IT WENT TITS UP

THIS IS WHAT I SEE NOW
