Problems with personal ads in Classifieds 2.41

[criscokid]

Problem #1
In Classifieds 2.41 /templates/vb3enhanced/uploadproduct2.tmpl (template used for personal ads) there seems to be some left over bits of code when it comes to the customfields...

Line 144 for custom field #2:
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}"><input type="text" size="30" name="extra2" /> <span size="1"> * Enter country if n/a.</span></td>

Should '* Enter country if n/a.' be there?

Lines 163 - 169 for custom field #4:
<option selected="selected" value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['single']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['single']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['dating']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['dating']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['longterm']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['longterm']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['married']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['married']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['multiple']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['multiple']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['discrete']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['discrete']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['noanswer']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['noanswer']}</option>

Should that all be in the code?

Similar 'extra code' exists for custom field #5


Problem #2
Even though I've set a price for bold, highligted and italics in personal ads there's no option to choose bold, highlighted or italics.


Problem #3
When using the search option to find adverts; adverts that have been marked as 'sold' are also being displayed. Is there any way to switch this off so these adverts are not included in the results?


Problem #4
When you click on 'Profile' and view a members profile then click on 'click here to read feedback' - if there is no feedback you basically get a blank screen (apart from the menu items). There needs to be something more descriptive saying that nobody has left feedback for this user.


Problem #5
It seems that users are able to expire other users (personals) adverts.


Problem #5
When doing a search would it be possible to sort like / same type of adverts together with a suitable header strip at the top of each advert type? Having personals in my classifieds setup when I do a search I have a 'condition' and price column which are ok for sales ads but not personal ads.

<span size="1"> * Enter country if n/a.</span> this is leftover the other extra boxes are fine and only show if you fill out the extra field name in cat admin edit

You need to set in usergroup options the groups this can show for

Problem #3

You need to look in the install forum and setup the cron task to delete old ads

Problem #4
When you click on 'Profile' and view a members profile then click on 'click here to read feedback' - if there is no feedback you basically get a blank screen (apart from the menu items). There needs to be something more descriptive saying that nobody has left feedback for this user.

There is a box and there are no results okay dont really see an issue here.

Problem #5
It seems that users are able to expire other users (personals) adverts.

Dont think so as users do not have edit ability to someone elses review an ad expires when the timeframe has been passed. A tie in here with #2 you need to run sendnotice.php to delete all old ads

Problem #5
When doing a search would it be possible to sort like / same type of adverts together with a suitable header strip at the top of each advert type? Having personals in my classifieds setup when I do a search I have a 'condition' and price column which are ok for sales ads but not personal ads.

I've set the following:
* registered users & administrators can post ads - no other group can.
* registered users & administrators can choose bold, italic & highlight.
* registered users ads have to be moderated.

Using an account that is 'awating email confirmation' I have sucessfully posted an advert and it's immediately gone live. It didn't go in to the moderation queue. The settings is the 'usergroups panel' is not overiding the individual 'usergroup access permissions' like it should be.

I didn't have the option to choose bold, italic & highlight so that appears to be working ok.

When using extrafield #4 and #5 instead of free text fields they each have an empty drop down box so surely there's extra uneccessary code for these two fields as well?

I would double check what user you posted as and what group they belong to as if I set a group to not have upload permission there is not an upload button.

The only way I could see an add not going to moderation is if you posted as an admin

[Chuck S]

You can post an admin login via PM as well as normal test login

[criscokid]

Last night I logged out from my admin account and logged in to my 'user awaiting confirmation account' when I sucessfully posted and advert.

Today I tried from a different PC and it worked correctly - using my 'user awaiting confirmation account' I wasn't able to post an advert. SO maybe it's a cookie problem or something - even though the usernames had changed the browser had remembered the administrators priveleges.

When using extrafield #4 and #5 instead of free text fields appearing when uploading an advert they each have an empty drop down box so surely there's extra uneccessary code for these two fields as well?

Today on photopostdev.com I came across a hack to include drop down lists in personal ads - the hack has exactly the same same code that appears 'to have bits left over' in the latest 2.41 download.

Yep I would suspect you still where logged in as admin

I'd logged out and logged in with a different name (belonging to the 'awaiting email confirmation' group).

Omegatron - please can you answer my questions about the extra 'leftover' code in the personals template.

[Chuck S]

Its just leftover from when the template was a hardcoded thing. You can modify the template to suit your taste
