Looking for feedback:
http://www.mpdev.net/sellerspost/index.phpIntegrates with Threads just like PhotoPost, but which an emphasis on Classified Ads. I did a conversion of ReviewPost as the users on my site were confused by the off-the-shelf classifieds I was using and I figured using a PhotoPost-like interface would give them something they are familiar with.
http://www.viperalley.com/classifieds/index.phpI've replaced our "old" classifieds here and uploaded the "new" ones today. Nice thing is that Classifieds, Photo Gallery and Product Reviews all share the same stylesheet.
cool, what kinda features?
. uses same stylesheet as PP/RP
. templates
. user can upload multiple images per ad (full edit capability)
. user selectable time duration for ad
. email form which hides email addresses of sellers
. fully integrated with all bb's support by PP/RP
It's basically a reworked version of ReviewPost without the reviews section and some tweaks to the layout/database to support classifieds. I'm trying to come up with more interface ideas to make it a little more unique.
I'm trying to come up with a use for it so I can add it to my site
.
If it's as good as RP, or PP, I know I need it in there somewhere!
If you had a system built into it for auctioning...
something that could use other currencies such as Gold or Credits, This might appeal to the large number of gaming sites (such as ours) that might use it for ingame sales and auctions. This is just an Idea for additions
Auctions are the next idea.... using the community features to allow for bidding....
And we're looking at backends to Paypal and Authorize.Net for credit card payments across the line of programs.
Another idea is to create an integrated index page which allows you to plug in PP, RP and whatever into one system.... and make it all one install.....
Man, all those that you just mentioned would be great, especially the auctions thing. I COULD use that most definately.
we have actually written a package to do auctions (doesn't use paypal or anything)...
if someone is interested in taking a look at the code to use elsewhere...let me know.
unfortunately where it is installed you can't view it because you have to own a boat (one of ours) to get into that section..
When will PhotoPost Classified be released? I have been waiting for something similar for years!
/S
Should be very soon - we're working on the sale pages now... Just a little longer - thanks for your patience!
Beautiful....how much ($$) are we looking at?
Thats the big mystery but expect it to be around the price of Reviewpost.
There's a TON of potential in the PP Classifieds!
I think so, too. We are trying to get the pages finished up to laumch this week. I expect pricing to be around $99 for new and $69 for current PP or RP users.
Discount for current PP users? Cool!!!!!
I'll second that bit of enthusiasm. Thanks!
Count me in.. I want it
I have another classified program but this will work much better with my site
A good add on would be the feature a lot of sites have to stop spamming the db. The system generates a random set of numbers and letters as an image that must be typed in before submitting the ad. I used to run a classified site and got tons of garbage ads from script kiddies that cirumvented the ad system and automated a spammer.
All it has to do is be able to only allow certain groups to create an ad, the code is there already in photopost isn't it? Otherwise it would be a problem like JC pointed out.
Actually my suggestion would only come into play if the site allows anon posting.
I just ordered mine a few minutes ago
time to play

Great News PP

Hi there, in the e-mail announcing PPC the rate is significantly higher.
Is there a different rate for PP licence holders in the range you expected, or is it as quoted in the e-mail we received?
Thanks,
Jason
question: is it 69 for those of us who already own RP and PP?
I'm buying a few more photopost/reviewpost licenses and probably 2 classifieds licenses, so if I can save 60 bucks, that would be great
.
An email to all members went out with a $15 off the $99 introductory pricing for existing customers.
I'm also talking to Scott about bundle packages offers.
I would be interested in a Reviewpost and Classifieds package for a nice bundle price:-)

Okay, just didn't want to buy it if it was $69 for registered PP licence holders rather than $84. I just purchased a licence.

I must say, the zip code addon that tells you the distance between you and the seller is an excellent touch.
I'll post the changes for that - the reason I couldnt make it a part of the offical release was that it uses a third-party database for zip code which costs like $30. Maybe we can work out some kind of distribution deal with them - something to look into.
