Let me add my thanks to Andy for this excellent program, I've tried others, been disappointed, and removed them. I'm very happy with this!

My site pertains to Turkey, so I'd like to limit classified adverts to those items in Turkey, and explain this to potential submitters. I'm also limiting submissions to full members (not new members), and would like to explain this as well, so I don't get e-mails asking why new members can't list items.

Rules are not currently a feature but I can see how that will be useful. I'll add it to the suggestions under consideration for the next version. In the meantime you could edit the listing form template and add rules directly there.

Alternatively, add an option to put up a post, or further info, or a link to detailed info. We currently use DawPi's sidebar stuff and Advanced Adverts for this type of thing. A bit of a pain to edit, but works well.

Kind regards, Wim

Just for anybody interested, I went to ACP > Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets and Templates > Manage Templates in IP Board, then clicked on "skin_classifieds," category_index and modified this line as follows:

<p><img src='{style_images_url}/classifieds/merchant.png' /> {$this->lang->words['cfds_intro_text']}. INSERT CLASSIFIED RULES HERE.</p>

That did the trick.

I have very strict rules about using our current classifieds, this would be helpful for me. But for now editing the template itself will work.

me too if it doesnt hurt Andy, having something like rules text showing up before adding a new ad and forcing a member to tick a box that he agrees to the rules in order to continue adding the ad would be very nice.

if a member does not tick he cannot continue.

That is already possible and has been since custom fields existed, in short, this can be done by adding a custom field. This is exactly what we do. Actually, people have to tick several boxes before they can post the classified.

HTH, kind regards, Wim

This would be a very useful addition to Classifieds!

My solution is : Go to ACP > Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets and Templates > Manage Templates in IP Board, then clicked on "skin_classifieds," choose category_view and search for the line :

<if test="categorydescription:|:$category['description']">

Add above this line the following code

<p class='message unspecific' style="clear:none;"><a href='<if test="ruleslink:|:$this->settings['gl_link']">{$this->settings['gl_link']}<else />{parse url="app=forums&amp;module=extras&amp;section=boardrules" base="public"}</if>'><if test="siterulestitle:|:$this->settings['gl_title']">{$this->settings['gl_title']}<else />{$this->lang->words['board_rules']}</if></a></p>

This will show a link to Board Rules, very usefull if your Classifieds Rules are inside the board rules.
