I need what I think is a relative simple mod that replaces image1 or noimage.gif with a sold.gif

Seems like you could add a SOLD button to the modify ad page, add a sold field to DB and use a if/else statement where ever you get a call for image1. Of course, I'm usually wrong.

Anybody want to tackle this?

I've read all the "sold" threads and they are much more complex solutions than I need. A sold feature is very important for my sites. JMO

I emailed you. This is not as easy as it seems. Several files need to be touched. There is also the issue of upgrade later on if you should choose to do that.

This would also be very interesting for me.

Maybe a feature req?

We have decided to make a module to do this which will not require customization of the code. Straightforxard operation which will allow ads to be marked as sold by the advertiser or by admin. It should be ready within a few days.

If anybody is interested in a Sold! button, go to the Feedback form and vote for it:

Customer Feedback & Ideas for 68 Classifieds

68Classifieds needs a button where sellers can mark item Sold!
Why? Ad retention.
Buyers like to browse a site with many ads, just look at Craig's List.
Sellers look and see that your site really sells things. Unless a Seller is a one shot Seller he likes to keep his contact info before the public.

An elegant watermark solution like Free2Take uses or a simple swap image1 thumb for a Sold! image would work for me.

Well, we have not done it. We have had to put it way down the priority list. We need to see a big vote for it and then we can perhaps justify it. I am sorry about that.

Is there a 'SOLD' mod, code snippets or anything to handle this YET?

Yes in templatecodes - see further down in the thread.
