    What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
    Example: V4.2.3 developer
    What template are you using?deepsea


    Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

    im trying to add a payment option where people can pay via sms or phone
    the site payment method im usen is from Mobile micro billing payment services | boxPAY
    it gives me some java script

    Add the following javascript code to your webpage

    <script src="http://widget.boxpay.com/Scripts/Widget/BoxPay.Merchant.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
    BoxPay.Widget(330, {
    CtrlId: 'paymentBoxLaunchControlId',
    ServiceId: '267',
    CountryCode: 'IE',
    LanguageCode: 'en',
    ItemCode: '221',
    Mode: 'TEST',
    ReturnUrl: 'http://www.your-website.com/customer-return.php',
    WidgetLoadedCallbackUrl: 'http://www.your-website.com/notify.php',
    OnWidgetLoadAttempt: function() { /*alert('function called prior to lanuching payment box');*/ },
    CustomString: 'YOUR_CUSTOM_STRING'
    });
    });
    </script>


    Add "Pay with your mobile" button

    The "Pay with your mobile" button is a HTML control in your webpage, which upon a user click, will present the mobile payment widget. Please note that the "id" attribute of this HTML control must be specified in the "CtrlId" parameter in step 1.

    <img id="paymentBoxLaunchControlId" alt="Pay with mobile" src="http://www.boxpay.com/pay_with_your_mobile.png" />


    can some 1 explain as easy as possible on how and where i put this code in the payment section so people can use it.

    thanks again guys

    You will need to make your own payment gateway if you intend that the payment activates the advert being placed (e.g. like the ones for paypal, worldpay, etc). This will be a non-trivial development and is likely to be at a considerable cost.

    can you explain this and can you also tell me how to do it as my 1st post asks,
    thanks again

    There are predefined gateways that are supported which you can see in your admin control panel - paypal, worldpay, etc. You are in effect trying to make a new one which requires that a payment gateway be developed to support your chosen payment method via SMS. To make a new gateway is usually a non-trivial coding project. It is not a few lines of code that someone can flip up onto a forum. In addition, a developer is unlikely to do it unless they can see a return on their investment (i.e. you fund such a development alone which may be considerable or a developer is convinced there is a market for it where he can sell multiple copies).

    There is also the question of support for such a gateway in terms of 68C as it upgrades.

    the boxpay site supply the code needed to put on my site etc,
    im just trying to figure out how i install it,

    and yes i would need the payment installed in a way that allows the poster to post his ad once the payment via sms or phone is cleared,

    if this part etc is some thing that has to be done by a coder who knows how to then can any 1 here give me a price on doing such a job,

    1. The code may form part of what is needed but it is only a part of what is needed.
    2. The standard process is the ad is placed and then activated after payment (not the other way around as you are proposing).

    I seem to remember somebody did talk about some form of payment module using SMS but this was a while ago. You might do better to search the forum and see if they did it and what system was used if they did.

    Here is a general link to developing a custom payment gateway

    http://www.68classifieds.com/documentation/development/gateways

    In general, modules which have been written and for sale by thrid-parties are shown on classifiedmods.com and ones directly supported by 68C are shown in your 68C customer downloads area.

    I have done a few custom payment gateways in the past. Truth be told, these are very complicated and vary greatly between merchant services. Both developers support and documentation varies greatly as well.

    This particular service doesn't show the true developers documentation which is what would be needed for anyone to be able to develop it let alone provide you with a quote. The code you show is just a small tidbit of what would be needed to integrate this service to work properly with 68 Classifieds.

    The one thing that I would point out to you is the simple fact that an SMS payment is specifically for making a payment by a text message via a phone. How many people do you believe are actually going to be viewing your site on a phone, let alone actually trying to create paid listings with a phone? I certainly wouldn't want to type out all of the things to place an ad including a description on a tiny phone with a virtual keyboard.

    If you believe that number is actually going to be large, then you would probably want to consider developing a version of the entire site for mobile without rollovers and the like which aren't supported by mobile devices since you don't have a mouse. Just food for thought.

    hi mike.we might have crossed wires here bro
    im not looking to install things so people can view the site via there phone etc.
    what i want is a payment system where people who view my site via there pc and want to place an add but dont have a credit card or paypal etc but would like to pay for the ad via there phone or sms.

    if you look at Mobile micro billing payment services | boxPAY you will see the payment method im looking for
    and if you visit another site donedeal.ie you will see they have a system where people can pay for the ad via there phone,

    donedeal is so sucessfull due to the fact people can pay for the ad via there phone and not have to worry about haven a credit card or paypal etc.

    is this some thing you can do for me mike?? at a cost i know?
