Website Marketplace Script - Like SitePoint's Marketplace - Only $19.99!

I have just gone to your site and shows as $29.99, how do I buy at $19.99?

Also, do I get full source code as I intend modifying it

Cheers

mc612: Use the coupon code posted in the first post: "MARKET". Enter it during the checkout procedure.

Full source code is included.

Thanks for the interest!

Lol! Missed that! Thanks Rick

I'm considering buying, but there is a small display problem in IE6 where the left column moves over to the right and hides some of the listing:
discountedscripts.com/demos/marketplace/auction/1/

It probably won't take much to fix it...

Thanks for the help - I'll go take a look at it now. Haven't used IE6 in about three years now... (been using Firefox since then)

I'll edit this as soon as it is fixed (and send you a PM). Thanks!

EDIT: All fixed. Had to mess with it for almost a half hour to get it to work PM me if you purchased previously and need an updated file. Thanks!

I'm interested but had a question is it possible to make the service free? say cost to 0 credits will it work ?

Should be - you can always just set the credits to "0" so people don't have to buy any.

Thanks for the interest!

Small issue i've noticed:
After i've logged in and clicked on create a new listing It's showing the login box at the left for some reason.

I'm also getting an error when trying to post a comment inside an auction:

shreder: Problem #1 fixed (missed an ! in the code), but I can't seem to find out how to replicate problem #2. Let me know what pages you clicked on exactly and in which order so I can try to replicate it.

Thanks!

thanks for this info.
i'm gonna go and wattch over this thread for progress.

meantime, would anyone share his own site that is up and running.

Domain and Web Site Auction Sales Script

For now we have a site using this script at NameAuction.ws. I'm still working with the script, but I'm not sure it's going to work for us.

The script is ok. It seems to be well-written and designed for the most part, but I was thinking about using it more as a sales site than a marketplace. I looked into importing a text file of domains, but that looked like it was a little risky and might cause problems. And outside of the listing categories there is no way to search and sort listings, so if you have a lot for sale that may not work well for buyers.

If you set the listing cost to 0, then you don't get charged to create listings. At first I used PHPAdmin to give myself 1000 credits, then I later went back into PHPAdmin to change the price of the categories to 0. Note: I JUST saw that if you edit a user you can increase their credits....!

Buyers have to login to bid, and I would like to make it so someone can just contact me if they have questions or want to make an offer, or BIN. Again, any complaints I have with the script are a personal problem and not the fault of the script.

If you have the time and the interest, buying and modifying scripts is a great way to learn PHP programming. As a learning example, this one of the best I have seen and you can learn about about PHP, CSS, using includes, and mod rewrite by studying the files you get.

So I am quite satisfied with the script for the price I paid, but like any script that is inexpensive you need to check out a demo carefully to make sure any limitations are not going to cause problems for you.

Wishlist:
- I'd like to see the script set up to have unique meta title, keywords, and description tags for each listing. This might require the addition of 1-2 additional database fields.

- It would be nice to be able to use HTML tags in the listings. I know this can cause problems, but it would nice to have it as a user option admin can enable.

nielsencl: Thanks for the comments!

I'll keep them in mind when I update the script

Rick Berwick

P.S. I'm still unable to replicate problem #2 above (I can't get it to give me the comment error). Let me know if that is still happening to you.

Couple questions how do I make it so the BIN is not required also on the pages that list all the auctions how can I show the subtitle under the title.

How can we can also show the bid count on the pages that show all the listings

How do you make it free listing? would be nice if in the admin area that when you selected a category from the drop down that it became editable and place to input free or amount of credits. As I have it as 0 and it still says I dont have enough credits when I make a listing on a new account.

I created a 2nd account to test the bidding and got a popup saying

The requested URL /place-bid/1/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Click to expand...

also the popup has no close option.

How do I get around this?

Not dure what happened but that error went away.

Is this all original code done by you?

reliable1: The code was not done by me, although I purchased directly from the original coder (and still have contact).

Thanks for the interest!

Regards,
Rick Berwick

so how is it supported? I mean are your continuing development, fixes and security patches or does this rely upon the original coder or the buyer of the script to fend for themself?

reliable1: I provide updates, although usually 6-12 months apart. When I get enough feature requests, then I update. Bugs, when reported, are generally fixed within 72 hours, and a mass e-mail is sent to all buyers.

Thanks for the interest!

Error when installed on site

Hmm, I thought I would go ahead and buy based on the positive comments and quick replies.

I have installed but get an error on the home page which I cannot get passed. I have looked into the code but can't understand where it is going wrong. Here is the error:

Warning: do_include(php/) [function.do-include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sellweb/public_html/php/inc.functions.php on line 9

Warning: do_include(php/) [function.do-include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sellweb/public_html/php/inc.functions.php on line 9

Warning: do_include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'php/' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/sellweb/public_html/php/inc.functions.php on line 9.

You can see this online at www.sellmywebsite.com.au

Speedy help would be much appreciated.

thinktank: I sent you an e-mail last night, but haven't heard back from you yet. I'll have to take a look at the file structure to see what the problem is.

Thanks!

I've bought one of your scripts, and I'm happy with it. What I wanted to ask is are we limited to installing in on just one domain? I'm thinking about using it on another site, but if I have to buy a second copy I may use something else.
