How to skip the verify screen when placing an Ad?

[free2take]

HI there,

All my ads are free so I don't want any screens more than absolutely necessary infront of a user.

Is there anyway to avoid the Verify your ad info screen which shows Pricing / Featured options etc ?

Thanks in advance,
Mully

In your template directory there is a sundirectory called /checkout which has the template for the various steps in it.

Near the bottom of each there is a hidden html field which contains a value representing the steps of the checkout process. I havent tested it so dont have the exact numbers to use, but if step4 is the last step you want the user to see, open up the step4 template and scroll to bottom of page and you should see this..

{else}
<input name="step" type="hidden" value="6" />
{/if}

Try changing the number 6 to 7 and see if that will jump the step your looking to avoid.

I hope it isn't that easy, I'll jump off a cliff if it was!!

I made a mod sometime back that did this. I think usercheckout.php directs the user to the next step after uploading the max images.

Actually taking a closer look there is more too it since usercheckout if on error will forward to step6 etc. The easiest thing to do may be to incorporate javascript to autosubmit step5 and 6.

If so Would it be possiable to have it?

Yes, I just reworked it, however that mod was for sites that didn't charge. It has all the userinfo/payment/coupon/discount steps stripped out of usercheckout.php and usernew.php.

It wouldn't be to hard to adapt.

Arrrrrrrr I see.

So if I'm going to charge for RESPONDING to a add would that be any good?

No, but we can adapt it. Which steps are you wanting removed?

For credit card purchases it seems best to have them verify their information or risk losing a sale due to incorrect billing information.

After thinking about it yes, you could use this mod since you won't actually be charging for ads but a membership instead.

All I would want is to skip stages 4 and 5.
