It looks like we're having the same issue with the completion stuff Tank. I just bought a few items on my forum from a guy, and once he clicked accepted I was able to leave him trader feedback which is good, but the stuff still shows up even though I have delete when completed or whatever it's called is checked.

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Sorry for the extremely late reply. I've been away with work a lot lately.

I did have the max image set at one, but some of the members tried to buy the upgraded pictures and it didn't work for them.

Right now I'm having a bunch of other issues with my forum as GoDaddy messed a lot of stuff up for me, but once that's all straightened out I'll create a temp test user and try to buy place an item in the classifieds and then try buy the upgrades and see what that does. I should have tried that before, but guess that slipped my mind.

Another question though. I've noticed that when people do buy stuff on there that the item says completed but still shows up in the classifieds section. I do have it set to auto delete post when an item sells, but it don't go away until the end of the listings date. Any ideas?


Thanks again!

I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I am new to web design (very new) and just added the classifieds to my site but am not 100% sure on how to set it all up the way I'd like.

I did do a search here before asking, but I may have missed what I was looking for.

I guess the first question I have is with Purchasing upgrades. I understand that a member can buy an upgraded posting for adding pictures, but I am unsure as the proper way to set it up so that they get 1 free pic, then have to buy or use credits to be able to add more pics.

The other question I have is I have Auto delete when listing completed, and Auto delete when auction completed both checked but they seem to stay posted just say completed until I manually delete them. How do I get an item to delete after a sale?

Thats about all I can remember to ask at the moment but I'll try to think of what else I was supposed to ask.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Sorry for the late reply. My wife actually was able to figure it out finally after a little help from the SMF people. I don't know what the issue was, but am very glad that one was taken care of.

I just checked with my wife and she said that she was finally told to do that over on the SMF page, but when she did the upgrade thats when some of the other issues started. I guess before she did the upgrade the only issue was not being able to get rid of Avia so we could buy and install the Gallery Pro. The Avia seems to have weaved it's way into damn near every file and just won't go away. Once she did the upgrade, thats when the doubled items (Google+, Users Logged In Today, and the Facebook like button left us). Also one of our pages disapeared as well, but she knows how to re add the page again later once we figure everything else out.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm about stuck and may be forced to leave SMF for another program that will allow me to transfer members and posts, but I really don't want to do that as I do like the way SMF normally works.

Hello everyone, I am new to the wonderful world of web design and plan on just building a couple sites for myself but ran into a few issues and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me. My wife asked the same questions on the main SMF forum but had some rather rude responces telling her to pay someone and have them build the site as if they're against other people trying to learn, and I hope I can get a more professional responce here.

We built www.outdoortrader.net a while back and have since been woorking hard to make it even better. We bought the SMF hacks classifieds addition and plan on placing it on our forum once we get things fixed. We added Avia gallery to our forum and decided that we liked the SMF Pro Gallery a lot better so we decided to uninstall the Avia gallery and it just refuses to go away. It almost seems like it rooted itself in other folders and files as well making it a hard removal. Also since trying to remove Avia we now have 2 Google Plus tabs in the posts.   

We've made a 2nd website for where we test stuff before implementing it on our actual page www.outdoortrader.net/odt and so far the classifieds work great on there so we are really hoping to get things straighted out with the main site.

If all else fails, how hard is it to transfer members and posts to another SMF forum? I'm thinking that I'd like to almost transfer everything except the mods to the www.outdoortrader.net/odt page so we can start over without loosing any posts or members.

Thank you all for any help you may be able to give.

Dave
