I love the script but the currency is dollars
Is there a way to change to euros maybe?
Neville, you should be able to change the currency from the admin under Manage General Options -> Payment Settings
thank you for this plug in. i try in my site but i cannot setting because i dont know how to setting. maybe you can show for me how to setting.. please,i really want to yous this plug in. sorry,i dont know how to speak english.
kamezaim, I apologize for failing to provide assistance sooner. Were you able to figure out how to set things up?
The plugin is awesome! Except that I did a few test ads. I can see them when I browse or look by catagories, but when I click the ad to view the ad itself, I only get a blank section where the ad should be. Any ideas on what I did wrong?
this plugin i use in http://www.classifieds.kamezaim.com/
Wes Kibble, sounds like you might need to adjust a path setting. Please see http://www.awpcp.com/about/pages/show-ad/
I have a suggestion that registered users that submit ads, can change them without using the key. Instead they use their login to have access to the ads they submitted.
Hakon, thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully will be able to address that at some point in the not too distant future. It is a suggestion that a few others have made.
Love the plugin and currently testing on my site. It would be good if Optional Fields could be customised to suit my site better. Working well at the present time.
Hello,
Your plugin seems to be nothing but awesome. Its features are great; however, I was wondering whether they run the same over a WPMU platform as it does on standard WP.
Please, let me know what should be your approach to this.
In SEO mode, the ad display page may not get the correct ad ID. If you get an empty ad, change at line ~10.000 from ‘ $adid=$awpcpsplitshowadPath[$pathvalueshowad];’ to ‘ $adid=$awpcpsplitshowadPath[$pathvalueshowad-1];’
Good luck!
I forgot the filename; it is awpcp.php. Anyway, the change must be applied in several places, not only at line 10000. Without it, you won’t be able to contact a poster and any other feature that implies a single ad
.
Actually the correct way to handle what SVP mentions about the ad ID issue is to use the SEO Path setting option under Manage General Settings following the instructions outlined in http://www.awpcp.com/about/pages/show-ad/
No need to edit the code. The same goes for the contact page and any other page that seems to be misbehaving. Just check under http://www.awpcp.com/about/pages/ and read up the info for which ever page is giving the problem. Figure out the correct path value ( It will not be the same for everyone), Go to your admin dashboard and enter the value in the text box.
SVP, thank you for your comments but there is no need for you to be editing the file. There are options in the admin for you to set the correct path if the default does not work for your site. The instructions you’ve provided will actually not work for everyone because the location of the data is dependent upon their url structure. Please see http://www.awpcp.com/about/pages/ – read through the individual pages as they relate to your issue. You only need to go to your admin page under Manage General Options-> SEO Settings, and fill in the correct path as it relates to your site. No need to edit any code.
Armando, there are people currently using the plugin with WPMU and also with buddypress. So far no reports of across the board compatibility issues.
Hello, I love your plugin. But is it possible to remove the option to contact the ad poster? I worry about spammers sending through the form and really don’t need that option at this time anyway.
Thank you for the great plugin!!!
Hello,
We recently set up your plugin and it works and looked great however we had a problem that I wanted to see if anyone else had. Once it was installed all of our post content doubled. If you opened any post the info was in their twice. Once I deactivated the plugin, it went away. I searched everywhere trying to find out what would cause this but found nothing. We love the plugin and want to use it, can you tell me as anyone else reported that issue and if so, what causes it?
Mahalo!

Is there a way I can limit the number of ads someone can post? I need to limit 1 ad per user only. It seems there is no limit to post ads in the current release.
