Let a certain usergroup post ads for free?

CrimsonGT · May 14th, 2005, 05:35 AM

I need to figure out what templates to edit and what code to put where. I want to make it so my Platinum Users group can post unlimited ads, and my registered users are charged per ad. I already have it setup so everyone pays but I dont know how to set it so the platinum users can post for free.

In uploadproduct.php where the pricing is determined, you'd have to add a condition check for that usergroup; however, by default we don't store the users usergroups (although you can get them if you use vB integration using the $bbuserinfo variable), so you'd have to modify the forum/xxx.php file to check and set a variable which you could check later.

This isn't a simple one liner, it'd take a little bit of work.

Well when I asked about this before purchase you told me it would be pretty easy and what not, which is one of the main reasons I purchased it. If you do not mind, I would like a little help setting this up. I do use VB integration so that is a positive but as far as the scripting itself I am clueless.

ttt...

In uploadproduct.php find:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

It's up to you to test it.

I cant find the line to edit in that template, should I look in the other uploadproduct1, 2 or 3?

None of them have anything to do with a global called paypal...

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

that line is non existent in my templates

Frost · May 18th, 2005, 11:37 AM

uploadproduct.php is not a template

CrimsonGT · May 18th, 2005, 04:04 PM

hhahaha, i feel dumb, but im still getting an error...

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

thats the error I get when i click on place ad. This is the block of code around line 147, which is weird cause I dont think I even edited anything near this.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

annoying php...

*bump*

Chuck S · May 19th, 2005, 09:06 AM

The Line Frost has noted is 139

I would make sure to see you have not forgot or left something off. Here is another rendition

in uploadproduct.php find this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

replace with this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

CrimsonGT · May 19th, 2005, 09:40 PM

There are actually 2 different places that this is used

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I used your rendition on the first one and recieved the error noted above with the parse error. I used it in the second place it appears, i believe where frost told me to place it, and the place an ad page actually loads. However, it still ask me for payment and will not display the ad publicly until payment is made. I cannot figure out whats wrong

CrimsonGT · May 19th, 2005, 09:42 PM

Here is my actual file, however I had to post it as txt because the forums do not support php as a reconized file for attachments.

Chuck S · May 20th, 2005, 09:09 AM

Okay well Frost was simply throwing you a bone in the right direction as was I. Most likely there are a couple files code like this would need to be added. Our How do I forum is a place to ask how to work the program etc.

I would suggest http://www.photopostdev.com for any questions on how to hack the code.

Frost · May 20th, 2005, 09:39 AM

photopostdev.com, or try changing both spots...

From:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

To:

Thank you guys so much, sorry for being a PITA, I didnt know about photopostdev.com until now. I do have one question since the threads already here. This made it so the base price does not show, which is perfect, but it doesn't show the cost of how much it is to add highlighting, bold, etc. They can still select it but it doesnt show the cost next to it. How would I add that back?

Frost · May 20th, 2005, 06:11 PM

Undo the previous changes to uploadproduct.php and then...

In config-inc.php find:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And beforehand add:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

In uploadproduct.php find:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

In uploadproduct.php find:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

It's up to you to test.

CrimsonGT · May 20th, 2005, 07:55 PM

Frost · May 21st, 2005, 11:49 AM
