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.

You will need to make the following folders writable (chmod 777) :

How to install

1. Unzip the file Classifieds_1.2_RC2zip.

5. Go to Ads Module administration and click on category maintenance, create your categories.
6. Go to Ads Module administration and click on Permissions and set up the following for each category.
A. View Ads Permissions - Select which groups can view Ads.
B. Ads Submit Permissions - Select which groups can submit Ads.
