Extra Fields
From Documentation
As of version 3.1 there are 7 types of "Extra Fields" you can create and associate with your categories. These field types are as follows:
Contents |
Drop-Down List
The drop-down list extra field will create a html select box allowing you to define what options are available to the user. This field is useful for allowing the user to only choose one option.
Checkbox List
The checkbox list creates check boxes for each option allowing site users to select multiple options for a single extra field.
Single Line
The single line text field allows your site users to enter text in the extra field.
Mulitple Line
This does the same as a single line text field except it allows for a textarea which is a bigger text box.
File Upload
New to v3.1 is a file upload extra field. This allows site users to upload files along with their listing. This could be a product pdf manual, a word document, or anything else that might be useful.
Parent drop-down list
The parent drop-down list is new to v3.1 and it allows you to specify an extra field as a parent with children that are associated with it.
For example if you had a used car website you can define the makes as the parent options. Ford, Toyota, Nissan, etc.
Child drop-down list
The child drop down list is associated to the parent. For example you could enter all the Ford makes. F-150, Taurus, Mustang, etc then associate it to the parent field of Ford. When a user is placing their ad they will be given the option of choosing the make and if they select Ford then this field will display allowing them to choose the model.
