Hello Community and Developers,

I have a question. How can I create Classifieds Adverts with Classifieds Ads?

I have imported the addon now and there is at most a few addon settings, but I find in the backend of Composr no way to create such adverts.

In the front end I can find something like "My Adverts". How can I create it in the backend?

Thanks in advance.

The basic process for setting up this addon is:
  1. Create a catalogue for the adverts (Content Management > Catalogues > Add Catalogue)
  2. Set the fields for the catalogue as appropriate
  3. Set the permissions to "Add/Post/Submit entries" (i.e. not unvetted, not bypassing validation)
  4. Add whatever categories you want to your catalogue
  5. Go to Admin Zone > Setup > Classifieds pricing
  6. Set prices up against your catalogue
  7. Make sure your catalogue is on your menus

Users will find add links when browsing the catalogue. Their entries will be added as non-validated. From their classifieds module they may then pay for their classified advert to go live (this uses the eCommerce module, validating the entry upon payment).

Was I helpful?
  • If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
  • If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
  • If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
  • If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
