making auction template - help?

Martyn@BB · November 22nd, 2005, 05:30 PM

Hi guys, I've sucessfully created an aution template and copied over/renamed the templates as instructed. I've edited the language files as far as I can (is there a list of language vars somewhere?).

My main question is how do i set the little yellow checkbox to a deafuly tick, on the upload ad screen? If possible, I would like to remove the checkbox altogether as the category is for all auctions.

Also, I would also like to set a zero (0) into the reserve price thingy as a default value.

Any ideas? I'm guessing this will be edited in the uploadproduct.tmpl somewhere....

Here maybe?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I've tried setting value="1" to value="0" for askbid, but that doesn't give me a default checked box. That would've been a temporary fix anyway, as I really want to remove the askbid <tr> altogether and just have it as default checked in the background.

PS - If I manage to get it all sorted, I'll upload my template set for others to download.

Ahhh, found all the language variables, they're in "english.php" - that's half the battle.

as far as price I dont know why you want to set it to 0 on an auction the seller places there lowest price in the price field to start the bid

OK thanks Chuck, that's improved things a lot, I'm getting there. The box is now checked by default.

But what I'd really like to do is remove the <td> altogether which contains the checkbox option, while obviously still having the sale set to "auction". If some bright spark decides to uncheck the checkbox, my auction category will revert to a straight sale will it not?

Any ideas?

Oh, and do you know where I can correct this spelling error?

Remove this row

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Down the bottom of the file where the hidden input tags are add this

<input type="hidden" name="askbid" value="1" />

Thats it

Now as far as language things just edit the language file and correct any strings you wish
