Questions I have

Big-Gaz · October 24th, 2009, 05:20 AM

Hi,

I thought I would put all my questions here to save having multiple posts. If you prefer for me have multiple post per question let me know.

1. I see the Classifieds script has a profile, like vBulletin. Is it possible to get the classifieds script to use the vBulletin profile instead. As this will save people entering the same details ?

2. If I want to change the look/design do I edit the template (.tmpl) files ?

3. What set of template files do I edit, is it the ones in the vb3advanced folder, or is it just the files in the templates folder. I am using the vb3 integrate theme.

4. Is it possible to require a username and password to see the My Ads page?

5. I see when setting up or editing a category you can set what to charge for set thing like post ad, bold etc... Now does the usergroup setting 'Required Payment' need to be set to yet?

6. Also I noticed when setting up or editing a category you can, set usergroups to have certain access. By the look of it I could give usergroup A access to a set category area is that right. Then set usergroup B to only be able to view?

7. On the index.php page is it possible to move the recent ads to another location on the page. If so what file do I need to look at?

1. You could modify the script to do that although you would lose out on some classifieds functionality like administering the classifieds notifications subscriptions etc

In files find this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

replace with

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

2. thats way too broad a question. Your integrating with vbulletin right then you should already be using the vb header footer and style colors. so what exactly are you trying to edit.

3. The vb3enhanced ones. If you edit through the admin panel edit templates the right ones are automatically selected.

4. You can set viewing permissions in edit categories but I beleive since your dealing with vbulletin headers if you require guests to be logged in to see your forum then the same thing is gonna happen on classifieds.

5. yes why of course if you want to charge

6. Yes same thing as vbulletin usergroup permissions vary as you see fit.

7. It can only be top of bottom and that switch is in layout options in admin.

Hi,

Hope you having a good weekend

Is it possible, on the Place Ad form, to move some Additional fields further up the, let say near Currency, instead of them being at the bottom?

If it not possible to move them can I hard code them into the template, then use the extra for it, for example hardcode a dropdown etc... and assign it to the extra field tag, as it seems they can be moved around, would that work?

Like

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Ok that seems to work

Hardcoding the Extra then I can move them where I want it

Editing the template and moving things as you wish would work sure.

Thanks Chuck

Hopefully the last question today

If I want to comment out a bit of code in the template while I test something, can I use for example:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck S · October 25th, 2009, 10:11 AM

No that really only works for html to comment out php its //

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Hi,

So basically I would lose access to what uses the file: member.php?uid
If I changed it over to the vBulletin member.php?u

we both have a member.php file. The change I am referring to sends the user to the forum profile.

Hi,

I don't think I put my question right, I am trying to workout what exactly I will lose access to if I use the vBulletin member.php

Now if I change it over to the vBulletin member.php will the Classifies lose account to everything that it calls via member.php?uid

Thats easy. All the classifieds stuff like category and ad subscription management. Buddy lists etc. You can view the classifieds profile to see the content you would miss.
