The initial release of the Custom Profile plugin for glFusion is now available in the download area.  This plugin helps simplify the management of custom profile fields which previously required significant changes to PHP code and templates.  Some initial code and template changes are still required, but after they are made the administrator can add, modify or remove custom fields with no further code or template changes.

Refer to the documentation (work in progress) for more details.

Note that this is an initial test release and may not work correctly in your site.  This plugin has been tested with glFusion versions 1.1.4, 1.1.5 and 1.1.6.  It will not work correctly with earlier versions.

Classified Ads version 0.4.1 has been release for glFusion.

Most noticeable among the changes:

• Support for comments
• Advanced Editor support
• Admin-created ad types, rather than the fixed "For Sale" and "Wanted" types in previous versions.

Check the INSTALL document for installation details.

The Classifieds plugin can be downloaded from the glFusion website (http://www.glfusion.org).

The initial version of a Locator plugin for glFusion 1.1.0+ has been released. This plugin allows the creation of a "store locator"-type of system where site visitors can look up the store or other point of interest nearest to them.

The Locator works with Google Maps to determine geographic coordinates from the provided address, and to present a small map along with each location's detail. The plugin can be downloaded from the glFusion website.

 

Update:  A configuration issue has been found and a new file has been uploaded to the glFusion web site.  The fix is a simple change to the plugin configuration:

Change "output=csv" to "output=xml" in the Google URL value.  The problem is an incorrect default value that gets set during installation.

Classified Ads version 0.3 has been release for glFusion. This version contains a few minor fixes, but some significant changes to the presentation.

Most noticeable among the changes:

• This version supports the automatic plugin installer of glFusion 1.1.2 (and is compatible with glFusion 1.1.x)
• The home page can be displayed as a series of blocks with icons to look a bit more stylish than the old version. 

Check the INSTALL document for installation details.

The Classifieds plugin can be downloaded from the glFusion website (http://www.glfusion.org) at http://www.glfusion.org/filemgmt/index.php?id=270

Classified Ads 0.2.3 for glFusion 1.1.x has been released and is in the download area.  This should be the last "0.x" release as it's feature-complete and any issues will most likely be resolved in the upcoming "1.0" release.

Classified Ads version 0.2.2 for glFusion has been released. This fixes several significant problems found by beta testers shortly after the 0.2.1 release.

- Logged-in users are denied access to ad submission (If updated from 0.1.x)
- Search function not returning any matches
- Random Ad block isn't removed when uninstalling the plugin
- Fresh Installation fails

Refer to the included INSTALL file for updating instructions. Be sure to back up your glFusion database before updating. This release does alter the glFusion database.

If updating from 0.1.x, pay special attention to the UPGRADING instructions in the INSTALL file pertaining to the new table definition in config.php.

The second beta of Classified Ads for glfusion is available in the download area.  This version implements several new features based on user feedback, and fixes a few issues discovered along the way.

 

Some highlights:

• Submissions now go through glFusion's submission queue
• A new "classifieds.submit" feature so selected users can bypass the submission queue.
• A global parameter to allow or prevent users from editing their own ads.  Users can always extend their ads up to the configured maximum runtime.
• Optional notification to users of impending ad expiration.
• Simpler permission setup for users.  Only the anonymous permission is selectable, other permissions are inherited from the category.

In response to several suggestions, Classified Ads version 0.1.1 is released for glFusion.

This version includes a name change from "advt" to "classifieds" to better describe its function. The database tables and image storage directory have also been renamed.

As indicated by the changelog below, there is no upgrade function. You should remove the "advt" plugin and install the "classifieds" plugin in its place.

The zClassifieds plugin for glFusion has been released as an early beta.  This plugin allows site users to create and search classified ads, and allows the administrator to control categories and moderate ads.

Several significant changes have been made to the original plugin from zScripts.  It can be downloaded here for testing purposes.  Feedback can be left in the Forum.
