Better classifieds integration

Note: It's only in early beta now as I'm hungry and don't have time to smart it up and make it look pretty

But hopefully now we have got around the issue of people complaining no one looks inside the classifieds - basically, when you go to a forum listing now (which has a tied in classifieds section) - the latest 15 ads of each bit (for sale, parts, wanted) will be shown down the right hand side.

At the moment it's just a list, but any suggestions on how to make it look better please post here.

Basically though, no one has ANY excuse not to use the classifieds now as EVERYONE who browses the forum in question will see them

(Oh and if you can't see it, you've probably turned on the right hand bar in your user control panel)

Enjoy!

Lol in the time it took for this entry to get posted, I've had a good muck around with it (I can always eat later) ... haha ...

I think it's ok now - it has made me realise though I need to split some sections up (New Bravo, Classic 500 etc etc)

 

[ben]

Split 500, 500 Classic, Panda, Panda Classic, Bravo, Bravo/Brava...

All up to date now

I think its a great idea, but its a bit too wide- would there be anyway of letting the user decide how wide it is? or having it hide away so it is a bit smaller rather that it just cascading?

 

[ben]

Too wide?? It can't really be any narrower or it wouldn't fit in (there would be loads scrolling down).

Which style you using / screen res?

I always get logged out in the Classifieds section :-/ But I like the idea.

Added "Auction Watch" ebay auctions to the bar now too - though this of course relies on people prefixing the threads correctly

 

[Tris Harris]

How about adding guides to the relevant sections aswell then?

im just using standard resolution for the forum, or do you mean my monitor resolution?

 

[ben]

I don't think there is room tbh

Modified the classifieds now to allow parts to be "free" - these now show up in a seperate block

Anything placed within the last 24 hours is now bold.
