Features.

User Side


1. Xoops Notifications
Users can select to be notified if a listing is added in any category(whole module) or get notifications in just certain categories(category).


2. A Sorting System.
Users can sort the listings by date DESC, date ASC, price DESC, price ASC, title DESC, title ASC, hits DESC, hits ASC.


3. A Rating System.
Users can rate the user who is selling the product and also rate the product.


4. The Pictures are different too.
I have taken the guts from the Yogurt module and added them to this module. Now you can choose how many pictures users can upload and you can have different amounts for Premium and Non-Premium users.
The only thing, you can't add the pictures at the same time as the ad. I will probably change that in a future release.


5. Has a page for users to see all ads by 'this user'.
Users can see all the Ads by another user, and the owner of the ads can administer their Ads from that page.


6. Users can choose how to be contacted.
Users can select to be contacted by email, PM, telephone or any combination of those.


7. Users can print out the Ad.

8. Users can send an Ad to a friend.

9. Users can see replies to their ads on the members.php page.


Admin Side


1. Has Xoops Group Permissions, per category - per group.

2. Clonable.
There are only 6 steps to do manually and the module will be cloned, with no errors.

3. Many config items added change them in the modules preferences.

Newest version is 3.0RC3

DO NOT USE ON A PRODUCTION SITE.
READ THE README FILE.

For testing only

RC3 has all the fixes in the forums and many more, some add security throughout the module which means you need to upgrade, to be safe.
I have not had a lot of time, so I didn't test this on php5, but you should not have any problems. My php5 test site needs to be rebuilt and I don't have the time right now, so I figured you would not want to wait for this version.

I will fix any errors as I recieve them. NO MORE FEATURE REQUESTS FOR VERSION 3.

I have made the search for the resumes work, but it requires a small change to the kernel/module.php file. I will post the fix later.



New for resumes

I have added the same photo options that is in the Classifieds module. I have taken the guts of the Yogurt module.

You must use the upgrade script. Read the README file.

Things new for Version 3.0


1. Fixed the report about possible SQL injection, put addslashes() in the URL's,
and mysql_real_escape_string() in the database calls.

2. Admin can choose to use companies or not. Some just want to use it for one company.

3. Companies works like this.

When you go to add a job listing for the first time you will be redirected to a page to add your Company Information.
They will only need to add this information once, after that everytime they go to add a job Listing that information will already be filled out, so they won't have to keep add it.

The person who adds the Company Info can also choose two other users (by username) that can add Job Listings for that company, and also their contact Information can be added when adding or Editing the Company Information.


4. Users can view all listings for a company, and if that user is the submitter, they can administer their
listings from there. they will also be shown how many replies they have had for each listing and have
a link to show them the replies.

5. Users can sort the Job Listings by job title, date, company, popularity.
Users can sort the Resume Listings by job title, date, experience, popularity.


6. Users can now create their resume if they don't have one to upload.
For now it is just a one field form using a wywiwyg editor.
In the future it will get more involved, hopefully.

7. Companies works like this.

When you go to add a job listing for the first time you will be redirected, to a page to add your Company Information.
They will only need to add this information once, after that everytime they go to add a job Listing that information will already be filled out, so they won't have to keep add it.

The first person to add the Listing can also choose two other users (by username) that can add Job Listings for that company, and also their contact Information can be added when adding or Editing the Company Information.

The Norwegian Language files for Classified Ads 1.1RC1.

This pack contains the Plugins for the Garage module to be used with Xoopsinfo and waiting modules. There are READ_ME files for each plugin.

These were made for

Xoopsinfo - version 2.14
and
waiting - version .95

This is all the plugins for my modules for the xoopsinfo module.

Alumni
Classifieds
Jobs

Unzip this package and add the files to the xoopsinfo/plugins/modules folder.

John

This is a plugin to be used inside the waiting module.

I have updated this to work with waiting version.95

There is a READ_ME file.

Garage .05 Beta

Report any errors at www.xgarage.org.

The first thing is you will need to run an upgrade script, it is explained in the README.txt file in the module.

The Documentation in the admin is just there and working, it is not complete, Maybe Billy might want to add to those.

I think I broke the group permissions, they are very hard to get right in this module. I will keep trying. For now it only works for all categories, it doesn't single each category out. If you give a group permission to submit in one category all categories get the permission.

Below is what I have done for this Version.


__________________________________________________________

1. Fixed typos in the file language/english/main.php

2. Removed hard coded language from templates/view_garage.html and admin/index.php. For our non english friends.
The new language constants are labeled in the language files at the bottom.

3. Added Documentation to the admin menu.

4. Fixed adding multiple garages for a registered user. It was not allowing a second garage if one existed and it was not redirecting properly, fixed that too.

5. Changed the admin index page to show Year - Make - Model - Style insteaded of the users name.
It needs to be changed to show categories if using them.

6. Added a link back to the last category on the view garage page.

7. Added the first upgrade script for the garage, I added a field to garage_cats.


8. I have fixed the upload problem from the submit page.
I added

$sform->setExtra("enctype='multipart/form-data'");

to 'case add' in the garage.php page.

9. Added
settype($subop,"string");
to index.php to remove $subop notice

10. Changed the template view_garage so it shows the picture on the top right and it doesn't show some things if the field is empty.

11. In admin menu I changed it so if you are not using categories the category and permissions heading do not show in the admin index page.

12. I changed & lt; and & gt; to < and > as mowaffak suggested

13. I changed the language constant in image_uploader.php to _MD_XG_UPLOADSUCCESS

___________________________________________________________

Wow, I need a day off.

Report any errors at www.xgarage.org. There is a good chance there will be some.

Thanks,

John

The German Language files for Classified Ads 3.0 RC1. Thanks to the good people at www.myxoops.org I think.

Thank You sato-san for the link, and thanks for the contribution.

This is a hack to allow users to post only one resume. To help prevent spammers.

You just need to replace the 2 files

addresume.php
language/english/main.php

It is a hack because it has not been tested, once it has I will add it to the next version.

Thanks,

John

New version 2.3

There was a problem found in the listing-p-f.php file. The only change from 2.2 is this file. You can just change that file or re-download the whole thing.

The problem was reported in this post on Xoops.org
