Hi everyone,
This week we have the gold release of DragonByte Classifieds v1.1.0 which has a number of bug fixes as well as a couple of changes. Among the bug fixes are several MySQL errors that have cropped up and and further fixes and workarounds for any corrupted listings that might exist. Additionally users can no longer edit a listing that has completed or been marked as inactive, and the page correctly redirects back to the page of origin when updating the stock amounts.
The updates of version 1.1.0 brings a lot of new features as well as continued improvements and bug fixes. Among the main highlights of this series of updates are the listing views allowing users to see the popularity of listings, new notifications that use the vBulletin notifications system, new and improved advert boxes that include randomization and JavaScript rotation settings as well as new locations. Additionally we've added more settings and controls, like the ability to set which usergroups can select from various listing lengths.
We've got a lot more planned for Classifieds over the course of the next few months, and look forward to getting more feedback and ideas from you all as to where we can take this mod. I've compiled a changelog of the updates from Beta 4, as well as a complete changelog for all the fixes, changes and features that have been introduced in the v1.1.0 updates.
Remember, we have installed the latest Beta of Classifieds here on DBTech. We have created some 'fake' items and have left PayPal in Sandbox mode so that no real money changes hands allowing anyone to test how the system works. We look forward to your feedback. Go here for the latest listings: View Listings - DragonByte Tech | vBulletin Mods & Addons.
To create a PayPal Sandbox account you need to head over to this page: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/accounts. Once you login with your regular PayPal account you can then create a sandbox testing account to use to 'purchase' the items on our Classifieds.
You can purchase DragonByte Classifieds here.
The full changelog for v1.1.0 gold can be found below.
