plumber
kitchen remodel
new house construction
window installation


etc. etc.

Maybe this is already available? If so, where can I find it, if not- who's up for a challenge?

Thanks.

I guess mods.auscity.com bStore module will be good for your purpose.

I visited the mods.auscity - this will be perfect for what I need... any idea when it will be available?

Hopefully soon...


Thanks again for all the helpful people on this board!

I've put it on hold, a couple of major problems were found in the first beta and I don't have as much time lately to give it the attention it needs. I plan to rewrite it to be a little leaner and of course fix the problems that were identified.

I'll post back in the forum once I make some headway.

I just want to add this to wish list.

When using 68C newsletter option it would be great to have possibility to divide the mailing list by smaller groups/lists. The reason is because many ISP restrict the numbers of emails send at the same time and if you have a big list there is a problem to send newsletter. For more info please see this thread.

Also would great to have possibility to send email to individuals.

Statistics to show how many total leads / emails were generated from the listings. This would be show included when the user logs in.

Along these lines, I'd like to setup all links to the seller's site so that they can be monitored and have stats on that as well.

Unless they check their own logs regularly, and very few dealers do, they probably won't realize how much you're helping them by having a link to their site. Most of us have probably made a number of sales for our sellers without them even realizing it, because the potential buyer goes straight to the site and makes their queries from there.

It would be really nice to have the categories and subcategories to show up as:
http://mysite.com/autos.php=329
and subcats to show as:
http://mysite.com/autos.chevrolet.php=346

Instead of: http://mysite.com/category.php?type=9

I'm no coder but you guys are so good I know yall can do something like:

if
category then {$category.name}{smarty_LANG_DOT}{$suffix.php}={$l isting.id}
else if
category and section then {$category.name}{smarty_LANG_DOT}{{$section.name}{ smarty_LANG_DOT}{{$suffix.php}={$listing.id}


Just think! There would be no more need for mod_rewrite to make search engine "Eat up the pages"

The scripy already calls in category.id and section.id
looks like it would be just as easy to call {category.name} and {section.name}

68 would sell many more scripts because anyone could and (would) use it. They wouldn't be limited by there Host supporting it or not!

Humm! Eric would be rich, and at the bahamas all the time!

What ya think??

It is funny you made that suggestion. That is going to be implemented in v4 but a little differently. It will work off of a unique category slug. Similar to the way blogs work.

For example:
yoursite.com/category.php?cat=truck
Then when the SEO mod is installed:
yoursite.com/category/truck/

[garysr]

Thats Great!
Wonder if that will be good enough to make the search engines happy?

( yoursite.com/category.php?cat=truck )

I never will get to see: (yoursite.com/category/truck/) Because I can't use the SEO mod! I don't have support for mod_rewrite!

Was kinda hoping we wouldn't need the SEO mod anymore! But if thats as good as it gets then I take it! hehehe

Thanks

In the absence of the SEO mod the best thing you can do is make sure you have transparent session ID's turned off.
