This thread is in the Third Party Support section of the forum, and in the TemplateCodes forum. That being said the 3 forums in the Third Party Support section are for online support/discussion of third party products provided by the third parties named.

Discussion that apply to general 68C code/modifications are in the general 68C forums, discussions specific to 3rd party mod/hacks are discussed in their forums.

The comment under the forum name specifically states Help & Support for TemplateCodes Products

No big deal. It is just you repeated what seemed like had been answered just two lines before with an unnecessary persistence. I could not understand why you were asking again. No offense taken at all. Apologies for my direct words.

thanks man... i really appreciate your input on every subject ive needed.

I do however would REALLY REALLY REALLY like to finish my project and finally launch marketing... CANT WAIT TO GET SOME REST!!!

By the way.... is there a thread about marketing techniques used to market classified ad sites?

Also, if you don't mind, take a look at the final proof on my site and give me some feedback. mainly about appeal and ease of use.

Yes - there is a main section in the forum about marketing and SEO. Do some searches on SEO and quite a lot will come up.

If it does then try to do the other bits. I tried it again and the code works for me. If you are running 4.1.6 (what version are you running) then you don't need to add this line $class_tpl->assign('sec', $sec);


although i hope you dont, you'll probably laugh at this post.

I did this bit (adding it tho the top of the browse.tpl file) but got the following error:
Fatal error: Smarty error: [in categories/browse.tpl line 4]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'css_listings_horizontal' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 599) in /home/content/15/5076415/html/includes/classes/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1092

Can I actually show subcat listings in the parent cat browse section OR can I take the showlistings part out og the parent category browse page?

I rather show the subcats in the parent cat.

Well you are not being very smart here - . That code is for people that have our templates and modules. Our plugin allows you to pull from specific categories and display the ads from that category - in this case it is doing it dynamically.

Go back to my original post and it is clear you can only do the first half of the modificatios by getting showlistings to appear underneath the categories as you pass through browse. You are not able to do the css horizontal listings part. For the first part, if you are running version 4.1.6 you don't need to do that assignment either as category.php now returns the category id.

i had thought so. i ended up in this thread by following a link in this other one:

Display ALL active listings under category list

have any idea how to do it... or at least take out the showlistings part in the page where u see all the subcategories from a specific parent category?

I am now unclear what it is you are trying to do. Please be clear. If you want showlisitings to appear under the categories and one level of subcategories then it is this bit only in category php (assuming you have version 4.1.6). You don't need to edit other files.

if(isset($_GET['cat']) || isset($_GET['id']))
{
$showlistings='Y';
}
else
{
$showlistings='N';
}

This will put showlistings under each category page but not the main browse page or you would end up with pages and pages (a bit silly).

YOU CANNOT DO THE SECOND PART.

The second part puts a set of boxes horizontally across the display area (featured, random or latest) from just the category you are in. To do this you will need the templatecodes module for horizontal listings or you will need to write a plugin/module to do it. Our module allows you to put a set of horizontal listings anywhere in any template based on a number of filtering conditions like the category you are in. Read the literature in our support manual and you will understand the flexibility.

I have just seen in another post on very similar requirements that you do not have the developer version. This is why it is a good idea to put your version (developer or designer) and template in your forum signature. We have no way of knowing otherwise what your problem might be and it saves a lot of time and frustration.

As you have designer you cannot do the first part of this modification either unless there has been a change in the admin settings for categories that I am unaware of. In order to make this thread useful to others and not go on and on, I have closed it.
