Hi jj,

mysled and sfen and working together on a classifieds module.  We have been at it for about a month now.  Current code is posted in on of my posts in the link the stefek provided.  If you want to help out that would be great the more knowledge and experiance we can get on this the better it will be.

I know I said I would have something for end of 2008 but early 2009 is pretty close.  Here is a really really early versions of the AdBaker Classifieds module I have cooked up.  There is still a lot of missing functionality (can create or edit currencies or categories, no check id user is logged in (only admin can make ads), no payment gate way ie pay pal set up).

I submit this to the community as is more for debugging before i get too far and to see if I ma on the right track.  I know what I have done so far suits my needs but I would like this to develop into something bigger than a simple module.

I have attached the files below.  Barring some unfortunate bug it should install and work fine.

Hi  mahalleday

tried to install the module but it seems, that some tables (categories and currencies) were not installed.
Any ideas?

The installer does not populate the adbaker tables with anything.  so there wont be any currency or categories on a fresh install.

If you think it would help I'll ad that to the install.php file.

Also just so everyone knows.  That description shown in the main list of ads is a shortened version of the description.  There wil;; be an option to view a "full" version of the ad with a larger pic and the full description.

EDIT: New Installer that should populate tables found in previous post above

The new one doesn't work at all.

Woops my bad I'll fix the errors in the installer.  The I will also have creating and editing categories done as well.


EDIT: Updated files above
Updates Include

• Can now Ad and Edit Ads, Currencies and Categories
• Install.php pre populates tables with some starter data

Yet to come

• front end modifications to display categories better
• alllow user to display ads based on category
• pagination in front and backend for ads
• more robust form validation (file size, text length etc..)
• check of image manipulation to ensure it works as it should
• wb login integration, user can edit and delete own ads only admin has access to all
• more features added as these items taken off list

[mahalleday]

I need a little bit of help with my module.  I need to know the recommended way to create secondary pages for the front end.  ie when someone clicks on a preview for an ad it should take them to the full version of that add.  I have noticed that other modules create a new page for each secondary page (ie bakery mods makes a new page per item)

If this is that way it should be done can some one explain how this is done I have looked aroudn in the view.php  file for bakery mod but can't figure it out.  I would really just reload view.php and have it echo out different things depending on weather an ad_id exists in the url or not.

Really I am just looking for some adivce on the direction I should go with this. 

Also is there a list on all the functions available with WB for module makers  It would help a ton if there were soem documentation on this.

[mahalleday]

Work is steadily progressing on the classifieds module.  I have hit one snag though.  How can I sety up permissions to allow the a user to ad and edit there own ads?  Is there a way to do this or should I move the ad modify and ad create php files out of the wb/admin/ and into another location that won't chekc if the user has permissions or not??

Hi mahalleday

Is there any progress on this module?

Work continues, steadily.

At this time I am building the interface for logged in users as and then moving onto security.  The files posted above should work just fine for testing.  It woyuld be a huge help to me if someone would try out the code as I post it and report any problems.  I try and test everythign very throughly but I will miss somethings.

[mahalleday]

Bump - Still a work in progress, will provide updated code soon.

Hi

I would love to add this to my site, but i keep getting similiar errors to the above. When i hit edit categories or edit currencies i get the following error:

Table 'abidan_nfvg.wb_mod_ ad_Baker_currencies ' doesn't exist

The databse exists and so does the table, so what could be wrong?

Can anyone please help me?

[mahalleday]

Sorry about the lack of updates.  Here is a copy of the most recent AdBaker.  It's by no means final but the basic functinality is there.

I would love some crituque and suggestions.  And if anyone could help with adding paypal and other payment gateways to this that would be awsome.  It's the last final hurtle before releasing this.

Edit
Here is a version that at least installs right...Please try this and let me know what errors/issues there are it''s hard to find all the bugs on your own.

Edit:
Updated working file below.  Still much in testing phase please try it out and let me know what you think.

[mahalleday]

Hmm vrey odd as this it was working on my test environment before I uploaded.  I'll un-install re-install and see what happens tonight and hopefuly be able to post fixed code as well.

Also you should be able to browse by category in the version i post tonight.

[abidan]

Fantastic, i would greatly appreciate a fix. I am building a site for free for  my local community and tehy want to be able to post local adverts and this module will be perfect Thanks for your help in advance 

[mahalleday]

A quick update...

The errors you reported seem to be ironed out, at least on my test server.  I am currently working to get subcategories added in before i put new code up.  should be in a day or so.

[abidan]

Brilliant, i have this topic on alert so will get alerted to your posts

Thanks for sorting it for us!
