WordPress Classifieds Plugin

1. The plugin worked with the last 4 versions and each time it was upgraded with the automatic upgrade option within wordpress when prompted a new version was available. This time I’ve manually upgraded to the version you release today and I’m still having issues. I can now create a post but they do not display. I received an email indicating “New classified post on your site” and “There are currently test ad Ad(s) in List(s) Awaiting Review Review All Ads“. However, there does not appear to be any way to review and approve the new ads as they do not display in the list nor the admin interface

2. Hi all,
   now it’s time to update the plugin appearance and to implement/improve the style sheet and template to have the option for you to make changes on your own style.
   cheers

3. Hi Jung-Su,

   I’m brazilian and localized wpclassified for Brazilian Portuguese. How can I send you the pt_BR file?

   I have some other questions about the l18n and l10n:
   – My wp-config.php is setup to pt_BR and the plugin doesn’t get its strings;

   – I moved pt_BR.php file to en.php and not all strings are working in portuguese. Do you know what can be happening?

   – Can I help with some work on plugin’s internationalization?

4. Ok.
   Today ’14 Oct’ I uploaded a new release which contain some bug fixes.
   and update the send mail method and fixed if for the user, who have the problem with send mail.

   Some words about permission:
   if the people post as anonymous, they are identify by their IP address.
   Is the IP address a dynamical address, then they loose their edit permission.
   If they are registered users and the problem still exist in general then it was be a bug.
   and now I fixed it.

   @Leo: Check it out now!
   @Eric Lim: Call to undefined function: imageftbbox():
   Enable the GD and FreeType Support in php.
   or unselect the ‘Show the confirmation code’ in admin interface
   @BGR: nice website. it work from my side.
   Is it possible for you to use 1.3 version?

5. Hi Alan, Thanks for your interest.
   For a long time, I am trying to find out what are the causes of this problem.
   Very helpful information. Thanks ;-)
   ————–
   And for all people, who do not use category picture please edit the wpClassified.css in the directory
   /wp-content/plugins/wp-classified/includes/
   Line: 146
   and modify the ‘padding-left: 130px;’ to ‘padding-left: 10px;’
   .wpc_main {
   background-color:#f4f1ee;
   padding: 1px;
   /*padding-left: 130px;*/
   padding-left: 10px;
   margin-right: 10px;
   border-spacing: 0px;
   }
   I think it looks a lot better.

6. Hi Robert, to fix the problem please edit the file “wp-content/plugins/wp-classified/includes/wpClassified.css”
   Line: 44 und remove the ‘clear:both;’
   .wpc_container {
   border: 1px solid #c5b2b;
   padding: 8px 2px 2px 3px;
   /*clear:both;*/
   }

9. @Lee, with the release 1.3.0-e you can place the last ads history on the sidebar as a widget.
   1- Go to ‘WP-Admin -> Design -> Widgets’.
   2- You can add the wpClassified Widget by clicking on the ‘Add’ link besides it.
   3- After adding, you can configure the wpClassified Widget by clicking on the ‘Edit’ link besides it.
   4- Click ‘Save Changes’.

12. @Robert, in Internet Explorer 6.0 your site look ok.

13. When I try to add a new add a new listing (as a user), it tells me to register or login.

    Even after registering and logging in,  I still get told I need to register or login to add a new listing.

    Any help on that?

14. @Buster, Please download plugin and install it again and check if the problem already exits.
    Yesterday the upload release 1.3.0-f was not complete and break my connection to the svn server.

15. This is such an awesome plugin and I am grateful for the Author for the hard work that obviously went in providing this. I unfortunately am not able to use it because the CAPTCHA will not work. (Previous Post) so I have had to delete it from my site. Hopefully there will be upgrades in the future where this problem will not exist. Again my thanks to the programmer for this plugin and I will be looking for a usable version in the future.
    Thanks Again,
    Arthur

16. @tom
    This plugin check the IP addresses. If this get the same IP address as you posted then you become permission to Edit/Delete your posts.
    furthermore  the moderators and admins have permission to edit/delete all ads.

17. I had problem when deleting an ad. It did only clear the content but not subject. I had to go the database and remove the line of wpClassifieds_ads_subject. Is it a known bug?

    I also like the 5 latest ads sidebar widget, is it possible to get it with in between the 5 different posts. It kinda crowded as is. A link to the photo would perfect the sidebar widget :)

    thanks,
    Hakon

18. @Hakon
    The bug was in the old version of plugins.  I think that I fixed this problem for a long time.
    Thanks for report.

19. @CarpetGuy Here’s a screenshot
    http://www.mp3-bazar.com/test/screen.jpg

20. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I was busy with something else at the time.
    I collected the critical comments and reports since last two weeks.
    I have begun implementing the known issues.

    Brian, The version 1.3.1 is available on Monday cliff, The MySQL database error is a warrning. By the way I have already fixed it. (I used to oracle, sorry)

    Elena, The widget issus is fixed in the new version (1.3.1)
    MarcusJ, the structure of classified database does not allow more than one category. but this category can contain unlimited lists.

    The desabling of wysiwyg editor is alerday existing in general setting.

    TODO/Task
    – disable expiration date
    – deactivate the images in the header
    
    – approved ads before publishing

21. Hi, I’ve upgraded to 1.3.1a but still need to delete a category and also cannot seem to implement the thumbnail width from within Settings & Options. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

22. @steve,

    Delete the categorie and lists done right now. Please update admin.php and wpClassified.php from cvs or install the plugin again.

    sorry i forget to implement the delete categories.
    I will do it tomorrow.

23. Hi – I dont remember how to set up the classified page and I don’t find this information anywhere.
    use –>  [[WP_CLASSIFIED]]

    
    —————————>
    To set up the classified page:
    WP Amin interface
    General Settings:Classifeds Page Details
    Classifieds Page Link Name: <EDIT HERE>

24. Findin include/_function.php

     $_POST[‘wpClassified_data’][subject] = preg_replace(“/(\<)(.*?)(\>)/mi”, “”, $_POST[‘wpClassified_data’][subject]);
      if (!checkInput($_POST[‘wpClassified_data’][subject])){
       $msg = $lang[‘_INVALIDTITLE’];
       $addPost = false;
      }

    Remove    

    $addPost = false;

    To fix
    The Title should contain only letters and numbers and not more than about 30 letters long

25. find
    
    $link_del = get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).”?page_id=”.$pageinfo[“ID”].”&_action=da&lid=”.$_GET[‘lid’].”&asid=”.$_GET[‘asid’];

    in include/_function.php

    add after

      $sql = “SELECT * FROM {$table_prefix}wpClassified_ads WHERE ads_ads_subjects_id ='”.((int)$_GET[‘asid’]).”‘ “;
      $sql_result = mysql_query($sql );
      $data = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result );
      $pic = $data[‘image_file’];
        $dir = ABSPATH.”/wp-content/plugins/wp-classified/images/”;
            $delpic = $dir.””.$pic.””;
             unlink($delpic);

    to delete images after delete ads

26. hi admin :) this time i got new problem in widget … maybe  :O

    somtime the title of widget  (Last Classifieds Ads) is disappear !
    after i added to my sidebar 
    because i’am adding Classifieds description ? :O ( before )

    and i remove/add  Classifieds widget ( default value is Last Classifieds Ads, if  edit is no problem )

    after that i can’t doing anything in Classifieds such as  Search,post ads,edit ads
    it aways goes blank page. So i trying to remove  wp_Classifieds_xx all database of Classifieds
    and restore it

    .. it worked !

    i don’t know what’s happen :(

     

27. WP 2.7   with   1.3.1-a

    If I may make a suggestion: The permissions instructions should indicate that the permissions need to be set before activation.
    Is the ip address used to identify a poster wishing to edit their post after they’ve logged off? On my installation I’m able to edit my posts even though I am not logged in.
    Thank you,
    Omer

    ——>
    CORRECT.

    The guests/users will be identified by the IP-addresses of the computer they used, when they posted their ads.
    And so they get the permission to edit their posts.

28. Hi – tried that but to no visible effect. Any other ideas?

    ——————->
    Yes, sure
    Edit wpClassified.css and add the following to the top of the file

    td{border-width:0;}

    to completely remove all table borders.

    And in line 153
    .wpc_main {
    remove the background-color or change the color
    background-color: #f4f1ee;
    It will look better

29. Perfect! That did the trick :o)
    Any ideas on how to remove the category I created , then deleted the name but still appears? Would imagine I have to remove a row in the WP db table but not sure which one?
    Thanks.

    ——–>
    download the latest version and rewrite the files.
    I implemented the code for remove categories and lists for one week ago.

    NOTE:
    don’t rewrite wpclassified.css stylesheet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30. Hello,
    Can anyone let me know how to add the last 5 ads section on wordpress homepage.
    What are codes for it?
    Thanks,
    R.Kamal.

    —–>
    file: /includes/_functions.php
    function: get_last_ads($format) { (line 762)
    or
    see the list of Available Widgets in your Admin Dashboard click the Appearance

31. Hi I am getting database error,
    WordPress database error Table ‘wp27.wp_wpclassified_categories’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_wpClassified_categories ORDER BY position ASC made by do_action, call_user_func_array, adm_structure_process
    WordPress database error Table ‘wp27.wp_wpclassified_lists’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_wpClassified_lists ORDER BY position ASC made by do_action, call_user_func_array, adm_structure_process

    ——>
    It tells you that the plugin is not correctly installed.
    

32. Hi,
    Is there any way to use CHMOD 755, as 777 is a massive security risk? And does the plugin mess with the .htaccess file at all on installation?
    Thanks.
    —->
    The programs like WordPress are a hackers paradise. be cool ;)

33. Hallo @ll, 
    I upload a new release of plugin to svn.  1.3.1-b
    Added a new option for “approve before publish” to the plugin settings site and two new item to language files.
    Please install or rewrite the scripts and update settings.

    Do not rewrite the stylesheet file or language file , if you have changed them.

    For some users, they become problem with the insert media may be is now fixed.
    And fixed the problem with re-size of thumbs images

34. I’m using the wpclassified in my site, but it’s not work, in the category links its not request the id of pages, how i can fix it ?
    Thanks!

    —–>
    Something is wrong with the page id. (The page id is missing)
    Please uninstall it, remove the complete plugin and install again.
    if is possible install on a develop machine or a local machine and if the test is successful install it on production server

35. Hi, is it possible to know which files you modified from 3.1.1-a to 3.1.1-b?? I translated the whole plugin into Spanish and if I upgrade by replacing the files, I will lose my translation…

    ------>
    wpClassified.php
    functions.php
    admin.php
    settings.php
        /include/
            _functions.php
            showAd_tpl.php
            newAd_tpl.php
            listAds_tpl.php
    And two new item from language file (end of file).
    

    By the way if you have not problem with the previous version then you do not need to update files.

36. Great Plug in Thanks! Can you please add a functionality to increase the font size & font type in your next update. That would be really nice.

    ——>
    You can edit the stylesheet file ‘wpClassified.css’ to change text colors etc.

37. Dave, remove/delete lines 142, 143,144 from includes/_functions.php.
    These are parameter for the template, comming in the next version so as far as i understand

38. hi, i have a big problem.
    if you go here http://www.steiner-wohnmobile.ch/?page_id=42 you will see the classified, but if  i click on a classified, it returns on the homepage. the firts hour it works great, but now, never works, i have change nothing.

39. Hi icesnake ; )
    merkwürdig!
    Ich denke Du hast den Post title nach etwas anders als ”[[WP_CLASSIFIED]]’ umbenannt.
    Das Umbenennen kann man in admin Interface machen.
    Falls nicht geändert hast oder willst Du so lassen wie jetzt ist, dann mach folgendes:
    Editiere die function get_wpClassified_pageinfo in Datei settings.php Zeile 58

    und kommentiere die gesamte function get_wpClassified_pageinfo wie folgt
    /*
    function get_wpClassified_pageinfo(){
    global $wpdb, $wpc_page_info, $table_prefix;
    if ($wpc_page_info == false){
    $wpc_page_info = $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM {$table_prefix}posts
    WHERE post_title = ‘[[WP_CLASSIFIED]]'”, ARRAY_A);
    if ($wpc_page_info[“post_title”]!=”[[WP_CLASSIFIED]]”){
    return false;
    }
    }
    return $wpc_page_info;
    }
    */

    und ersetze mit folgendes:
    function get_wpClassified_pageinfo(){
    global $wpdb, $wpc_page_info, $table_prefix;
    return 42;
    }

    Das warst und ich hoffe klappt es.

40. the wordpress classified theme is really nice. I purchased.
    http://www.sitemile.com/classifiedTheme.php

41. Yay! I reinstalled it. It works!

42. hi, again.
    I saw another problem – when I type something in my search box – no results appear – “No posts matched your search terms.” I use words that are already existing as a real ads… and don’t understand why this is happening.

    I’ve tried the same thing on your demo page : http://www.forgani.com/classified/
    and the problem is there, too.

    Any hints how to fix this ? :)
    PS: the website is here : http://NaOferta.com/

43. admin please remove all sitemile AD, basically sitemile is just pirated of wpglamour  and claim is their own project …..
    Please don’t buy or support Digital THEFT.
    Sitemile = THEFT.

44. Hi,
    Looks like a great script. Some features I’d like to see in future releases are:
    -Several pics per add
    -Automatic resizing of pics when they are uploaded.

    BTW, I’d like to translate the script,  is there a ready .po file somewhere?

45. I have set up the plugin and it displays woderfully. The problem is that in the front end I dont see the link or field to ADD A NEW CLASSIFIED, just the category and list links that are empty (because we cannot add any classifieds). What is missing or what do I have to do? http://playitadelcarmen.com/?page_id=54 THANKS!

46. @carlos porras
    I think, that you have problem with htaccess.
    The page_id will be not shown!
    http://www.playitadelcarmen.com/?page_id=54&_action=vl&lid=9

47. Cool! But… How can I fix it? I can’t even find the htaccess… I am not that wp savvy but I am learning quite fast… Any suggestions?

48. Hi there,

    Awesome plugin! Thank you.

    Just wondering, is there a way to make the link in the “Website URL” field active after an ad has been placed?

    Reed

49. Excellent plugin – though I am having a display issue in FireFox where there is a lot of blank space on a category page to the listing.  The listing is showing up all of the way at the bottom of the page making it look as if there is no ad placed for a particular category.  Here is an example URL:  http://theamericastop.com/classified/?_action=vl&lid=12

    –>
    Please remove all ‘ clear:both; ‘ form wpclassified.css style sheet file in ./css directory and the site will look well.

50. On the Changelog on wordpress.org (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-classified/changelog/) it says that 1.3.2.g is available for 2.8.6 but on 1.3.2-a is there. Where can I download the “G” from?

     

    –>

    The 1.3.2.g is not a official release but the code has been changed and implemented in the current version 1.3.2 on svn.
