I got this error when I click on the Report Bad Ad link: <a href="{$smarty.const.URL}/modules.php?mod=ad_reporting&id={$view}">Report Bad Ad</a>

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "layout.tpl.php" in /home/phlistco/public_html/includes/classes/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

I just replaced the zip file with a fixed version.

Can you please advise where best to place this in the template as I cannot get it to show.

[Eric Barnes]

I just realized I didn't post the full html for the link. It should be:

<a href="modules.php?mod=ad_reporting&id={$view}">Report this ad</a>

It's working now. Thanks a lot!

I would like to know how this works? I noticed when I DL'd the script that it was vbulletin. Do the users have to register again through vbulletin in order to report an AD? Where does the report go/to whom (admin, or is this set up in the admin area?)?

Any information would be appreciated. I'm running v.4

Basically it uses the admin email setup in the administration.
When a users want to report a listing it automatically fills out the contactus.php page with the listing id and will send an email to the admin.

It doesn't have anything to do with vBulletin.

Eric,

According things I saw about this module in 911 classifieds it seems nice, but I think it could be nicer very easily

1 - The report only gives the ID of the ad, not a link
The admin will have to copy/paste this ID in a link or search for it in admin panel. It could be a better thing if the report email contains a direct URL to the reported ad...
It could be easy to ad something like [url]/viewlisting.php?view=ID

2 - It is necessary to fill a form to report an ad
The guy who reports an ad will have to enter name, email, captcha ... before the report is sent to admin. It could be possible to only send an email automaticaly to the admin when clicking on "report this ad" ...

My experience is that spammers use the "report" functions to admins to send their spam email [inside] the email form ...
