Adding URL's and Featured Listing Questions

    What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
    Example: V4.1.6 Designer

    4.2.4

    What template are you using?

    Purplisious


    Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

    Just a couple of issues that I can't seem to figure out.

    1. Allowing user to post URL for their website. I set up the featured package to allow links to the website and the question does show up during the listing process but when they put the URL in, it gives an error message telling them to Please enter a valid url. Any help would be appreciated

    2. Feature ads on home page: I've added a couple of test ads and have friends putting their ads up so we can test and see how everything is working and looking. On the front page, the text for the ads is taking up a huge amount of space. We really need to allow the caption as it is what draws a person in, is there anyway though, to cut it short for the home page listings.




    Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank You

    Regarding the message for the url:
    Sounds like they are NOT entering an URL when placing the listing and you have it set that the URL is a required field, because the message that is being displayed is triggered by the javascript that checks to see if it's required and if it is required and if it blank displays that message.

    Regarding the Featured listings shown on the home page, as it shows in the comments for the Featured listings file, home.tpl:
    {*
    Now use html_table_adv to loop them.
    See the user guide for full details:
    Listings Plugin - 68 Classifieds
    *}

    I would suggest that you add the desired attributes for the td, something like td_attr='width="25%"'

    The URL was entered. When left blank , it does not give the message, it's only when a URL is entered that the message is given.



    Thank You!

    and http://www.yourdomain.com - does that work . seems like you just need to put a message to say put in http:// or you will need to make tests on the input and if the http does not exist add it. There will be little snippets of code out there showing you how to do this.
