How do I turn off all the auction features?

[guttormson]

I don't want any auction features in my Classified section.

How do I turn all of that off so the user doesn't see any of it when creating new ads?

In my site all I want is people to be able to list an asking price.

In admin edit categories simply where it says allow bidding set that to no for all categories.

That's how all of my categories are setup.

Yet when a user places an ad they still see....

If this is an auction you may enter a reserve price and if your auction price is not equal or greater to this price your auction will automatically be relisted. (Numbers only!)::

Thats the reserve price not an auction enable thing. If they dont see the allow bidding switch which they cant have an auction

Hmmm... but why would you have a reserve price for a non-auction listing?

I think that's going to confuse my visitors. (it confuses me even still)

Chuck is this normal....

In my Classified admin at the top it says....

Classifieds 3.13 Update!
more info - quick link to Members Area

Yet just underneath that it says the current version is... 4.03

What version am I REALLY running? Did I do something wrong in the install?

[Chuck S]

No I have to have them update the news script thats normal

[guttormson]

So... since I have auctions turned off is there any way to remove the field that says....

If this is an auction you may enter a reserve price and if your auction price is not equal or greater to this price your auction will automatically be relisted. (Numbers only!):

With auctions turned off the listing cannot be an auction therefore this entry field is highly confusing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not without altering the code in the actual uploadproduct template in regards to the reslimit code.

Just to make sure again:
Auction is turned off, but if I don't want these two fields:

If this is an auction you may enter a reserve price and if your auction price is not equal or greater to this price your auction will automatically be relisted. (Numbers only!):

You may enter a buy it now price to allow users to buy the product and end your ad or auction. (Numbers only!):

... I will need to alter the code of the uploadproduct template, right?

PS:
- The same applies for the two paypal fields?
- How about the editproduct.tmpl?
- What should I search for - reslimit and ...?

[Chuck S]

You would edit those templates yes and reslimit and maybe reserve variables

[Rozay]

Yep, works great! Thanks and have a nice day!

You too enjoy your day
