Minor Code Adjustment [by Commerce]

Classified Ads:: Minor Code Adjustment
In Admin/Category.php there is a line of code that handles the order on the page.

The original is this:

	if ($xoopsModuleConfig["".$mydirname."_csortorder"] = "ordre") {
		echo "<tr><td>".constant($lang."_ORDRE")." </td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"ordre\" size=\"4\"></td><td><input type=\"submit\" value=\"".constant($lang."_ADD")."\"></td></tr>";
	} else {

I found I needed to update the line to insert a default 0 value because with a blank value (if I were not to enter one - and sometimes I'm known to not pay attention), MySQL seemed to have a problem. As such I added a minor code change to account for a default 0 value.

My change is this:

	if ($xoopsModuleConfig["".$mydirname."_csortorder"] = "ordre") {
		echo "<tr><td>".constant($lang."_ORDRE")." </td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"ordre\" value=\"0\" size=\"4\"></td><td><input type=\"submit\" value=\"".constant($lang."_ADD")."\"></td></tr>";
	} else {

That seemed to cure the problem of no default for Order.

[EDIT] - It seems that the escaping was not shown in the code post, but if you were to edit the post, the code has the value=\"0\" add in it.

Best,

Nightly Builds? [by Commerce]

Feature Requests:: Nightly Builds?
I'm not sure if such a thing exists for your modules (which by the way are very nice work indeed), but I've observed some patches have been added to code in some of the threads here and so I would like to know if you have some form of "nightly build" area for downloading the most up to date patched version of a given module.

Are you doing that today? If not, is this a possibility for the future?

Re: Sorry, I can't send e-mails [by Commerce]

Site operation:: Sorry, I can't send e-mails
Sorry to learn of your email issues. You know your environment best, so if you suspect your ISP is interested in selling your email addresses, that is a problem. Many ISPs are concerned about spam these days, so hopefully that is all the problem is all about.

One thought that comes to mind... since the problem is email related, why not just host your email locally. In that way, speed is not going to be a huge issue. If an email takes .1 seconds or 20 seconds to transfer between SMTP servers, it will not mean all that much.

One other thing you will want to check prior to implementing is if your connection will support TCP/IP port 25, as some ISPs do not allow this (which puts a pretty big crimp in running your own home SMTP server).

As long as you have control over your DNS records, you can have MX pointed to your home server IP and your A records pointed to your ISP and web site(s).

Keep in mind there is a fair amount of management involved in running an email server (or any server for that matter) because of patching, log monitoring and generally keeping up with security issues.

Just a thought.

Classified Ads:: Classifieds 1.2 BETA Released
As i said, that is no Problem and i respect your opinion.

I always uses xoops too and will ever use it, but iCMS is in my opinion at the moment better for my projects.

An option to activate/deactivate the captcha would be great!

Guess we need to make this a bug report, then. On my site, they are counted.

Feature Requests:: Classifieds-Post submit processing
I have a few ads on the site, now, and I can see that moderation in its present form is not going to work for me. Too much manual intervention, and, since changes must be moderated, too, keeping up with payments will be difficult.

If you are able to make the changes we discussed, it would be great. In the meantime, though, I'm going to be trying to think of another way.

As far as keeping up with what is going on with the site goes, I'll be using the front page and the new block to watch the latest ads. Should be able to pick up monkey business from there. Plus, the Captcha feature is going to be a big help, too. Getting through the sign-up process plus the Captcha is going to be difficult for spammers. Hopefully too much so.

2. If you don't look at the listing before approving it, maybe it is SPAM.

Thanks,

Maybe, but looking at it in admin is, in my opinion, not the best way. With the new block (and thanks for that, BTW), I plan to put a block on an admin only page showing the 25+ most recent ads and will be watching this constantly anyway, so, if there is an inappropriate ad, I will spot it there.

Also, I will have a link to report an ad. May not help with spam ads, but will help for other bad ads.

So, I still think there should be check boxes.
