Changing QUANITY and Deleting images

ktmtalk · November 4th, 2009, 10:18 PM

1. How does a seller (or an admin) edit his quantity?

2. How does a seller (or an admin) delete a single image from a listing? I see that it can be changed to a different image, but how to delete?

1. You know that was never thought of as an option when users requested quantities

Good suggestion.

2. There is a delete link by each thumbnail on editproduct when editing an ad right near the flip flop all those links.

I ran across the quantity display with no way to input it today as I approach completion of my setup. The solution I chose which was far easier for me to manage was:

Remove the Quantity heading and content from from the Showproduct template.
Add a custom field for Quantity Available

You input quantity when you upload an ad. You just cant edit it

Not on my copy of classifieds.

Chuck S · November 8th, 2009, 08:11 AM

well then my suggestion is to use default code because if you can not input a quantity on upload then something has been muffed up in your code editing. Just so you know.

Users enter a quantity on upload it is one of the variables asked and by default 1 is entered and a user can enter another quantity.

Looking at the unmodified template the only thing relating to quantity that I see has the following caption:

Quote:

Quantity of Ads?

If there is a cost associated with placing an ad your price will be multiplied by the quantity you specify here.

If that is what you are telling me I should have left behind, then I can only reply that my understanding of the caption is that I am being asked how many ads I want to buy ... not how many of the item I am advertising that I am selling. If I have six widgets for sale, I want to say that I have six widgets in one ad, not buy six different ads offering one widget each.

As an admin, I have no wish to charge the advertiser six times to sell six widgets. I only want to sell him one classified ad.

As I stated previously, my solution was to add an extra field as shown HERE.

Chuck S · November 8th, 2009, 02:30 PM

what I am saying is a user can most definately upload an ad and enter a quantity he is wishing to sell.

He is charged accordingly based on that.

You are telling me you arent seeing that. Now your free to modify things as you wish. Thats your right. I can only answer things here based on what things are suppose to do. I dont see how adding an extra field to the uploadproduct script is needed when the quantity selector is there.

I just placed a test ad using my modified For Sale template and I can only conclude that the removal of the Quantity of Ads form is at the bottom of the unparsed links problem I have been having. In addition, without it, apparently the ad is not being charged for nor is it placed in the admin queue for approval.

So if I return to the default, my advertisers will be charged six fees for selling six items in the same ad by default? Is that correct?

Chuck S · November 8th, 2009, 02:42 PM

If you return to the default then your advertisers are going to be charged per the normal operation of the program yes.

if your removing the quantity input but my first thought would be you forgot to include maybe a hidden input box at the bottom of the uploadproduct template with duration set to 1?

Call me crazy but that's a deal I don't think most advertisers will buy. As an advertiser, I expect to pay for one ad regardless of the end result. If I don't make a sale at all, I still have to pay for the ad. By the same token, if I sell out my inventory, I don't expect that the provider of the ad space gets paid for every unit I sell. What you are providing as a default, and which disrupts other features if removed, is not a standard business model anywhere I have ever been.

The quantity field I added is there to inform the buyers how many units are available and if they are one lot or individual offerings.

I need a way to use the default template but follow a business model of one ad/one fee.

Huh? I have absolutely no understanding of how to do that or what exactly that is. Can you provide the code with instructions?

Chuck S · November 8th, 2009, 02:48 PM

well then my suggestion is you modify the scripts accordingly. You can probally remove that line in uploadproduct.php.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You might want to start posting in the mod corner forums if your talking mods. Please read that first

I agree... I did not want to charge a seller additional money just because he has a quantity to sell. Just comment out the quantity multiplier line like chuck suggested.

we need a fix on that Chuck - the seller needs to be able to edit that value.

Chuck S · November 9th, 2009, 05:37 AM

How about you add this to your editproduct template where noted

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

duration????? It's not duration, it's quantity

Chuck S · November 9th, 2009, 08:26 AM

providing a fix is only for something thats broken. Not for something that is not included in the software

Something not included we can gladly look at releasing in a new version.

Like duration you can not change same with quantity its not something initially thought to be included but no worries its easy enough to do so download the build and try out the editproduct php and tmpl files.
