New Classified Section to Forum

by **Kudjap or Bust** » February 29, 2008, 12:20 pm

I think the new classified section is excellent and am sure it will help people who are searching for / seling specific items.

Can you tell me, when I am in the forum do I need to open the classified section before I can tell if there are any new postings, or is there an indicator somewhere I am missing? and also within the classified section main index would it be possible to add the colour changing page icon next to the pictures of each subsection (as the forum has) so we know there are new posts in the individual subsections?

Thanks and great job Lee.

Thanks Kudjap,

I'm looking into the new post icon issue, hopefully I'll figure out a way to do it.

If anyone has problems posting an advert please drop me a pm and I'll look into it.

Cheers, Lee

Lee will the classified section on the forum soon be taken off..? i see its now locked off, will it be deleted from the forum index or will a link be put in its place. ?

I'm hoping to replace it with a link to the new classified section, but I haven't figured how to do that yet :confused:

Thanks Lee
Is there anyway there can be an indicator to show new posts have been placed in the classified section?

New posts are displayed in the right column, example here:

Sorry Lee I meant when I log into the regular forum (which I have as a favorite) and am at the main index is there anyway there can be an indicator to show there's new posts in the classified section or will it just be open the classifieds to see of there's anything new?

A bit petty I guess but just thought I'd ask

No not petty, actually it would be very useful and save having to hop accross to check for new adverts. I'll look around for a mod and see what I can come up with. In the mean time you could open the rss feed (on front page) and save it to your tool bar, the feed will update everytime you open your browser showing the complete list of adverts with new ones at the top.

I downloaded the hack, thanks, but couldn't get it working for some reason, I'll keep trying though.

Thanks Lee, now have the RSS Feed on my toolbar, makes life a little easier for sure

The red flag shows up on the main forum and link is working fine.

Cheers bm.

FYI BB, I used the External Forum Redirect hack in the end, I couldn't get the one you posted to work even though it was much simpler. :confused:
