Hi everyone,
This week we have the fourth beta of DragonByte Classifieds (v1.1.0 Beta 4) which has a number of bug fixes as well as some changes and new features. Among the bug fixes are several MySQL errors that have cropped up and errors that have caused a few rogue listings with incorrect settings. In the changes we've improved checks done when submitting a listing to prevent errors unintentionally or maliciously being inserted into the listing, as well as now included the listing type when posting threads for new listings.
The new features focus mainly around maintaining and correcting errors. It is now possible to force a recount of of stock for a listing individually, or use a maintenance tool to check every listing in the database for the stock count or inconsistencies in the pricing and listing type structure of a listing. Additionally when a listing is completed or ended, then the associated thread is also locked automatically.
Thanks to everyone for their input and feedback in the past week. It's help immensely in tracking down several issues, especially thanks to JaiKai and Mick who have fed back several bits of data directly from their databases.
We're working through the rest of the issues and relevant changes that we want to introduce into v1.1.0 for next week. Keep the feedback and reports coming. It will be especially useful to get feedback on the Maintenance tools and how they help tidy up some of the rogue listings that have been floating about.
The full changelog for v1.1.0 Beta 4 can be found below.
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.
