Hi everyone,
This week brings the second Release Candidate of DragonByte Classifieds (v1.0.0 Release Candidate 2) which brings in some new fixes and one or two minor changes along with a number of minor features that improve the system, including the ability to archive listings, providing greater access to older expired or completed listings and an additional usergroup permission to allow users to have permission to see the list of buyers for listings not their own.
This week also brings some changes in file structure and locations. The simplest method to ensure no redundant files is to remove the /dbtech/classifieds/ and /dbtech/classifieds_pro/ folders and then reupload the latest RC2 files and folders to the server.
Once again I want to thank the excellent feedback and suggestions from our customers that have helped with some key tweaks this week.
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.
