I dont think the docs have been updated for V4. the smarty var (as Eric explains in the first post of this thread) should be $smarty.session.userlevel
The fact is that visitors have to go to "view all ads by seller" to discover that the ad is run by a "seller". Otherwise, nothing distinguishes the announcement of a "seller" of another ad. It is a pitty that the "seller" ads are not identified when simply viewed by visitors. As the module was introduced as "similar to Ebay stores" I thought it was. On eBay, when you view a seller Ad, the seller header is shown ! Is there a way to introduce the seller header in his own ads ? Something like "if the {username} is a {seller} then print {sellerstoreheader} in the viewlisting.tpl" or something like that ?
How can the description be totaly removed? and does anyone have a good logo for this? i need one for the user index. Cheers
Aren't all people who post ads on a classifieds site sellers? And "similar to Ebay stores" does not equal "The exact same as an eBay store"! You seem to be comparing an apple to a grape as well as setting your own expectations based on your own opinion. The eBay store is a pay per month feature of an Auction Site. It lists all ads that are in the auction site for that seller as well any that are only in the eBay store. similar |ˈsimələr| adjective resembling without being identical : a soft cheese similar to Brie | northern India and similar areas. The Seller Store in 68 Classifieds is a listing of all of the ads on the site for that particular seller which by definition, IMHO is similar. Showing that someone has a store in an unrelated page is a completely different feature. There is nothing wrong with wanting to modify and/or ad features to what 68c offers. That is one of the beauties of how this script is designed. However, making accusations as if a feature is falsely advertised based solely on your opinion as well as directly in conflict with accepted definitions of how you would like it to work or your interpretation of a word is a little out of hand. As a contributor to this forum, I am personally very hesitate to offer assistance to posts with this type of tone as if it is your right to a solution from those that are simply trying to help at no charge. -Mike
Mike, First, I said that in an other post, English is not my native language. So it is not always easy to explain my thought. I apologize if sometimes I do not choose right words. Second, you wrote "The Seller Store in 68 Classifieds is a listing of all of the ads on the site for that particular seller". NO The listing of all ads of a seller is a native function of 68C. The seller store in 68 classifieds is a header text/photo that is added on the ligsting of all the ads of allowed members. Natively, the store header is shown only on the listing of ads of a seller. My suggestion was to also display it when you view an ad of this seller. It is only that. I did not spoke about all functions of eBay store. Only to show this header when viewing the add, not only the list of ads.
Keep in mind this module was originally developed probably three years ago. ebay's store feature was a lot different back then. I guess to stop any confusion I need to remove that line of text.
I also need this.... Can somebody please tell which code we have to ad to get the logo in the showlisting? Thanks, Jan ROel
showlistings doesnt just display listings from a single seller so how do you propose to address that?
Erm ... with a LEFT JOIN? I'm assuming what they are asking for is a link to the sellers "store" on each ad row, if that seller has one. Which actually seems quite sensible to me, would certainly make the store feature a lot more visible and (IMHO) useful. -- hugh
Have a look at my site, just click the search without selecting a category. Is that what you want? Nick
Shouldn't be, as we now have: PHP: $select = $modules->call_hook('searchlistings_select', ''); // Call any module functions $joins = $modules->call_hook('searchlistings_joins', ''); // Call any module functions ... in getAllListings() in Listings.php. So adding a couple of plugins which return "store.sImage" and "LEFT JOIN class_store AS store ON (p.owner = store.sUserId)" should add the image name to the $result list from getAllListings(). Then a few plugins on things like category_end to add the $class_tpl, and a little template work, should do the job. -- hugh
And if someone cant figure out where to add a query in the first place do you think they are going to understand module hooks?
seller store error something is wrong with my "seller store". I uploded it and there is just a link on the home page that takes you to a blank page. Also I can only see that link when I am logged into admin, not as a registered user. When I go to modules in admin, it does not show the seller store or member rating mods I uploaded. Are they supposed to be zipped or unzipped when you upload them? Also I'd like there to be a tab at the top that says "my store" where people can go and sign up for a store. Also is this setup to charge sellers for having a store? Like on ebay how you can have a store and pay a monthly fee? I don't want just anyone who has listed a free item to be able to have a "store".
It sounds like its not properly installed. Double check the install. This is all way beyond what the module was designed to do and its more than just a simple tweak here and there, its going to involve some pretty serious knowledge of php.
