Hi,

when a user buy a ad and payment is done, how this ad can be automaticly seted as featured ad ?

Is there a option somewhere that i have missed ? Please help. Thanks.

When you create a package you have to set the package to allow featured ads. Then when the user places an ad they are given the option to make it featured.

You are right. They have the option. But i would like to have the option automaticly set up after the purchase is done. Is this possible ?

You want to give them the option to buy the featured aspect after they have an ad placed? That would involve a bunch of custom code to run them through the checkout again and bill for it.

I would like to add the option "this ad is a featured ad" after the customer has made a payment and the payment is processed.
And i would like to make this automaticly.

@Larry
He is saying he wants all the ads to automatically be featured

@ombre
Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose of having an ad be featured? I don't understand the logic or the goal here. A featured ad is an option available to allow an ad to stand out from the other ads. If all ads are to be featured, then what is the point of having the option?

Exactly, doesnt make any sense at all.

He could have a package that is standard, one with highlighted and bold, and one that has all the options. It makes perfect sense, makes it easier for the user, especially if they are new with computers.
