Presales for Products / Thinking of getting Ad Seller Pro as well

« on: July 27, 2019, 03:34:40 pm »

I've already bought Message Editor Pro and SMF Classifieds which have worked without issue so far

, and now I'm seriously thinking of adding Ad Seller Pro. However I already have the Ad Management system and am wondering if I would need both and also, if there would be any possible conflict in terms of available ad slots/places on pages? Thanks if anyone can advise.

Modifications Talk / Just some questions about Ad Management mod

« on: July 25, 2019, 04:08:56 am »

I have some questions about the Ad Management mod, sorry if these seem like silly questions.

Under 'Ad Ads' you have the 'Name' field and if you click on the ? mark you are presented with 'This is the name that you will give your ads.' Does this mean one ad or more than one ad? Because 'ads' suggests more than one ad, right?

For the 'Content' field, if you click on the ? mark you get 'This section is for placing your ad code.' I assume this is for just one ad, right?

For the 'Display ads after categories' field, how do I specify the category? By number or by URL? Sorry, but this is not obvious, especially as my categories are not numbered as such, could be wrong.

Support / About Comments Approval

« on: June 12, 2019, 03:50:10 am »

Is there an option that allows comments without approval? I looked everywhere in the classifieds control panel, but all I can find is the default option of allowing comments if approved under COMMENT APPROVAL. Thanks if anyone can help.

General SMF Forum / About using chmod to secure files

« on: June 01, 2019, 03:16:48 am »

As I understand it, I should use chmod to secure my files, but how exactly does this work? What is the syntax, etc and which files do I secure?

I assume it's all files under public_html but not sure which directory to be honest. I have a shared hosting acct with greyweb (great people) and am familiar with cpanel and so on, but I have little linux/unix experience. All help greatly appreciated.

Support / Seller ToU not showing

« on: May 28, 2019, 09:03:38 pm »

As a test, I listed an example/dummy ad, but there was nothing telling me to accept the Seller ToU; there was no check-box, nothing at all.

Support / Why PayPal only

« on: May 28, 2019, 08:54:36 pm »

Why do ad posters have to have a PayPal account considering that the classifieds system also supports other payment facilitators?

Site Discussion / Not happy

« on: May 27, 2019, 04:53:58 pm »

In the last few days I've purchased over $100 of products and although responses to my help requests were initially very helpful and timely, this has not been the case over the last 24 hours. Not happy!

At risk of being dense here, what exactly does the watermark option or options do when enabled?

Support / About Terms of Use feature

« on: May 23, 2019, 05:30:28 am »

For the Terms of Use feature you have Seller Terms of Use and Bidder Terms of Use. Thing is I won't be having auction listings, so is it possible to change Bidder Terms of use to say Buyer Terms of Use?

Support / Category images not showing

« on: May 20, 2019, 11:53:49 am »

OK, I'm uploading category images but they do not show next to the category link, nor after I click on the link. Any help appreciated!

OK, I deselected 'Use simple main layout...' and that seemed to work, category images are now showing.

Support / Which Options To Disable If I Don't Want Auction Listings

« on: May 18, 2019, 05:01:05 pm »

I only want items-for-sale listings, so Which options should I have disabled in the main setup section if I don't want auction listings?

Support / About Layout Options

« on: May 16, 2019, 10:20:54 am »

What do I have to do in Layout Settings to enable three rows of four categories? So, as follows:
Category 01 Category 02 Category 03 Category 04
Category 05 Category 06 Category 07 Category 08
Category 09 Category 10 Category 11 Category 12

The set-up option I went with is where you have the 'Classifieds' link at the top of the forum enabling visitors to get to the classifieds section that way.

Thanks if anyone can help.

Presales for Products / Q's on Integrating SMF Classifieds with current theme

« on: May 08, 2019, 04:14:19 am »

I've had a good look at SMF Classifieds, but just wondering how exactly it integrates with an existing theme (I'm new to this...).
For instance, if I have a forum with a number of categories, so could I have SMF Classifieds set-up as another category (if anyone understands me here...) at the bottom of the forum?

Any advice really appreciated.

Site Discussion / Just a hello

« on: May 06, 2019, 09:32:16 pm »

This is just to say hello and that this is my first post on smfhacks which seems a very useful and easy to use SMF-based site.

I had already installed Message Editor Pro and then found out about SMF Classifieds in the readme file, so signed-up to get more info.
