I am using UBBThreads version 6.4.4<br /><br />I am looking for some opinions on Photo Post Classifieds. I have looked at their web site but would like to get some feedback from others.<br /><br />Is this the best way to offer classified ads on my boards?<br />Is there any alterative choice for setting up a classified ad system?<br />Is the integration with UBB Threads 6.4.4 smooth?<br />Is it user friendly and admin friendly?<br />Is it bugging?<br />How is support for newbies like myself?<br /><br />Thank you. Any replies are appreciated.

I know nothing about Photopost Classifieds, but I do like my Photopost Pro software.<br /><br />Links to random Classifieds Scripts:<br /><br />http://www.refdev.com/free_scripts/PHP/Classified_Ads/<br /><br />http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Classified_Ads/<br /><br />http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Classified_Ads/index.html

Well, my biased opinions are:<br /><br />1) I use it on my site ViperAlley.Com and we've sold over $1 million in merchandise (more than a dozen Vipers have been sold).<br />2) The links above probably help with choices - I never found any that integrated with Threads.<br />3) Yes, see ViperAlley.Com<br />4) I think so, much like PhotoPost (based on same code).<br />5) Bugging? Not sure what you mean? Buggy? The 1.8 release out now is stable and the current 2.0 beta 5 is fairly stable (and offers product bidding and user feedback).<br />6) Between myself and omegatron you have two very involved Threads people handling development and most of the support.

I'm looking forward to the 2.0 code <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And I did put those other links up there as reference, I believe you would find most of those products either lacking in functionality, or none too easy to integrate with Threads.<br /><br />My personal opinion is that I enjoy the heck out of tooling with my Photopost Pro installations, and if I needed Classifieds, I would get Photopost Classifieds.

I just purchased and installed PhotoPost Classifieds. I installed it on my Threads v6.5 however, I'm looking at having my Threads top menu shown when a user clicks on the Classifieds link.<br /><br />http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/ubbthreads/classifieds/<br /><br />I'd like it to show up just like my PhotoPost Gallery.<br /><br />http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/ubbthreads/gallery/index.php<br /><br />Help on this is greatly appreciated....

Can't you include the same header as your PhotoPost?

[]PhotoPost said:<br />Can't you include the same header as your PhotoPost? [/]<br /><br />Eeesh, well this ole rookie used Chuck's written hack to do the PhotoPost integration and I'm not sure how I would go about making PhotoPost Classifieds run the same header. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />The other question that I have is how I can add the Who's Online information when a user or users are viewing or posting in the Classifieds.<br /><br />Help on this is greatly appreciated. Oh and thank you for a the Classifieds program. It's a very nice addition to my site! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

depends.. don't know much about the classified but depending on what script they are running when viewing or posting is it like addclassify.php and viewclassify.php you could simply put in the /ubbthreads/language/x/online.php the $ubbt_lang['scripttitle'] = "Viewing classified";

Thanks Scroungr, but not sure what this would mean: $ubbt_lang['scripttitle'] = "Viewing classified"; <br /><br />'scriptitle', how would the system know that they are in the Classified's program? Are you meaning I need to put text that would replace 'scriptitle'?<br /><br />Sorry....but please understand that I'm a wookie at this schtuff....

you have access to phpMyAdmin? what I usually do is bring it up and the w3t_Online table and watch it.. then I bring up the pages in another browser window and then I see what is inputed into the online table and then open my language file for the online.php and put in <br /><br />$ubbt_lang['name'] = "whatever I want to call it"; <br /><br />and if the software doesn't then I usually put into that script a piece of code to add to the w3t_Online table what I want it to add..<br /><br />thats how the online page gets info for say where the user is and what he is doing there like for my arcade.. I have it <br /><br />$ubbt_lang['arcade'] = "in the arcade"; <br /><br />and then depending on what they doing<br /><br />$ubbt_lang['hanging'] = "hanging"; <br /><br />so what comes out on online page is <br /><br />Haning in the arcade... for instance..

Ahhhhh......thanks for taking the time out to break this one down a bit barney-style for me. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Made it easy for me to understand.<br /><br />I'll get to playing around with this one soon.<br /><br />Thanks again Scroungr. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />
