Pre Sale Questions

[cire +]

I am interested in purchasing, but I have a few questions I was wondering if you could answer.

I am interesed in purchasing the designer version.

-Is there a way to remove the zip code field from the search page. I did not see an option for that field to be removed under user groups.

-Can the copyright link be removed in the designer version?

-Is there a way to remove the image option all together (not even be asked) to add an image at all and the featured listings not have an image?

-Is there an easy way to remove the images on the home page for featured listings and the images on the listings page, but still keep the images on the detailed page?

- Is there any way to create a field "Make an offer" so you do not have to put a price?

Thanks for all your help. I really like the script and look forward to purchasing it.

The zip code, like the rest of the address fields is part of the user registration and isnt in and of itself part of the ad. I dont even beleive on a default installation the zip code field even appears on the search page.

Yes, you can edit the templates any way you see fit.

When you creat an ad package you define how many images are allowed for the ad placed using said package. If the image qty is 0 then the user wont be prompted to upload any images.

Thats controlled by a plugin. You would have to edit the plugin (which is php code) so that it didnt pull up an image OR you couple just remove the line that calls the plugin from the template and it wouldnt display any featured ads at all.

You can edit the the templates and have the template substitute text for a value of zero in the price field and display any desired text if youd like.

Sounds great.

On the zip code what I meant was on the demo when you hit search it shows the zip code and the fields to search by distance.
That is what I would want to remove.

Thanks for all the help.

I think thats there only because the zipcode search module (which is an extra chargeable feature) is installed. On the default install of 68C I dont think the zip code field is displayed on the search and the rest of the address fields can be disabled in the search via admin.

Larry,
Thanks for all the help.
I have one additional question.

I purchased the script and have edited everything and its working great.

The only thing is, I removed the images from the site and now on the home page the featured listings do not have a link to their ads since the link was from the image.

Is there any way to reassign the link to the title for the featured ads or is there a way to have "View Listing" under the price for the featured listings on the home page?

I really appreciate your help. I can not figure out where to change the code and what to put.

Thanks

The featured ads displayed on the home page are done via a smarty plugin which is largely php code so to do as you desire you would need to edit the file....

/includes/classes/smarty/plugins/function.feature_listings_horizontal.php

Around line 129 or so you should find a line that looks like the following...

$output.="<a href='". $link ."'><img src='".$loop[$x][image]."' border='0' alt='".$loop[$x][title]."' /></a><br />";

as you can see the anchor tag is created and closed around the image. Simply edit out the closing anchor tag and then look around line 143 you should see a closing table data tag and you can add a closing anchor tag to it like so....

$output.="</a></td>\n";

That should turn everything inside the table data cell into a link.
