Anyone know how to get the bids to show as 0.00 instead of  0.00999999977648258

Is an interesting addition to the forum otherwise.

the only thing is that when i try to add an item and have filled everything in... it gives the report: Sorry, but the body cannot be left empty.

does anybody had this experience?

thanks!

Can anyone help me create a block for portal?? Maybe show the latest 4 items listed. Im using ez portal and Id like to use it in a center block so 4 across would be great.

I have the pro version installed and it is working fine except for a few errors.
I have it on rc2,3,4,and five and the same problem occurs.
If I go into the admin of the mod and either activate or de activate the options for auction reserve or buy it now I can post auctions as long as I keep to that formatting... lets say I want auctions with a reserve without the buy it now. Then this is fine but if I have a few auctions up and running and decide to have a buy it now?  then any edit returns a database error specific to that option activated or de activated.
For instance adding a buy it now option returns me a database error of cannot find table buy_it_now.
This is because the table buy_ it_now is a sub table of the items table
The only way around this is to re do another classified using the options chosen.
So I started to look for an edit function in the php files that related to an edit function on the database. Any Ideas.

i did have that problem, i left the as enabled but didnot enter prices ecept for buy it now, but only problem i had is a guest could end the listing, and even if they registered they could end it, still trying to figure it out.

Ok have spent weeks on and off on this and getting used to the pros and cons..
Firstly there is an error in the php files now being silly I changed it and forgot where i did it and because i was looking for smfbuy_item to change to Items, and there are 50 item lines it is impossible to find it again..
Search in  sources for smfbay.php
Locate
{db_prefix}smfbay_item
And change to
{db_prefix}smfbay_items

there should only be one occurence
The db table is called items not item.

User / admin problems


What you cannot do is go into admin and change any settings in smfbay after someone has placed an advert,,, so what you select must be permanent, however it is possible if you zero every advert for that particular element,,, ie you don't want buy it now,,, then you must zero all buy it now's in each advert then you will not get a db error...
So the initial setup would be all elements.
With all elements you can through the advert use those functions individually without causing a db error. 
however those elemenys you do not want to appear must be set to 0, they must contain a numeric value.

Did you end up getting this to work? I would like it also...

This is such a great mod, but it lacks support (CRAP). Anyways, does anyone know how to transfer the auctions to a specific board. For instance, when I create a new auction, the auction is posted like a thread in the board "Ads"?

[jmille44]

Does the creator still support this mod?  I am looking for and bay style mod and this is the only one.

Does this work on 2.0 GM?  Thanks

[TheListener]

The mod author does state that support was being dropped for the mod several pages back.

Whether the mod will work or not on 2.0 I doubt

[Deezel]

Can I get permission to carry on with this mod?

Can I get permission to carry on with this mod?

What changes would you make?

[Deezel]

Not sure yet, update it for 2.0 and then have an open discussion on what people would like to see change or not change.

Compatible With: 1.1.11, 2.0 RC3

I have the latest pro version of this mod that I paid for before it became free and there was no more support.

I can tell you things I think it needs and needs fixing.

1/ Have a board post for a new sale to post in a board of your choice like the calendar does so members know when new listing are added
2/ have a previewer box so members can see last 5 or top 5 listings and a list of category's on the main forum boards
3/ Fix the error with when posting a new item in the body message part with HTML toggle viewed
[ERROR: An Error Has Occurred! Sorry, but the body cannot be left empty... even when they are all filled in] this happens in html view but not bbc viewed.
4/ in the adding new list option there is a [Image URL] where you can past a link of an image, Add some extra text to it saying [if left empty the Upload Image 1 will be the preview image].
5/ needs a short description text body as well as the full description text body so when viewing listings you just get a short description
of what the item is but then after clicking on the item you then see a full description. At the moment you will see the full description
of the item when just looking at the listings and big description's make it all look ugly.


really need  1/ fixed as members need to know if there is a new item listed
& 3/ because not all members know to click on toggle view to change it back to bbc view before posting there listing


This mod is great and I like it very much but with the above mentioned I found only about 3 out of the 180 members I have
used it as they couldn't fully understand what they were doing wrong if they got the error and also no posting in the boards
to let others know about the new item... without the member who listed the item telling everyone or making his/her own post,
no one would know to have a look at the listings as there is nothing no post to let other members know about it.

If this mod was to start getting support again I would be really happy to see options fixed and or added.

cheers

[Deezel]

I can certainly try, just need permission first.

1/ Have a board post for a new sale to post in a board of your choice like the calendar does so members know when new listing are added

A number next to the menubar (as in the aeva mod or ajax chat mod) may be more ideal instead of a board.

2/ have a previewer box so members can see last 5 or top 5 listings and a list of category's on the main forum boards

Good idea on the preview box.

3/ Fix the error with when posting a new item in the body message part with HTML toggle viewed
[ERROR: An Error Has Occurred! Sorry, but the body cannot be left empty... even when they are all filled in] this happens in html view but not bbc viewed.

4/ in the adding new list option there is a [Image URL] where you can past a link of an image, Add some extra text to it saying [if left empty the Upload Image 1 will be the preview image].

Why not get rid of it completely?

5/ needs a short description text body as well as the full description text body so when viewing listings you just get a short description of what the item is but then after clicking on the item you then see a full description. At the moment you will see the full description
of the item when just looking at the listings and big description's make it all look ugly.

Good idea.

Edit: I sent a pm to monotiz yesterday Deez regarding this mod.
