Customization

  • I know this is probably early in the development however I would like to know if you included ways to customize the post ad form without changing/editing the plug-in code?

    Ex:
    Remove ‘Leave this blank if the location is not important’
    (also be able add this kind of line to the other fields).
    Choose if using email address or phone or both.
    Be able to exclude fields (ex: Website).
    Be able to add fields (ex: Postal Code).

    We are looking to build in some of those functionality. Some might be included in the base plugin, others might be in the form of ad-hoc plugins.
    Right now, for example, the user is able to show either email address or phone (not yet both). We are looking to include a contact form to this as well – and additional ‘specialised’ fields.

    Perhaps the ability to add new fields ( via the back-end ) would be considered a big feature but I second most of the things mentioned above.

    Especially having phone AND email field separately.

    And, perhaps the ability for a gallery? A lot of items would need different pictures.

    Might I suggest integration with 3rd party plugins like Contact Form 7 and Slider CAPTCHA. Just like you suggest 3rd party plugins in your FAQ, why reinvent the wheel. And just like Contact Form 7, allowing short code insertion within your Ad Submission form allows the webmaster to choose their own CAPTCHA and you don’t have to develop one of your own.

    Re: “perhaps the ability for a gallery”

    That sound like an idea for a plug-in add-on, I’m on the fence about allowing free multiple image upload as images takes up space. Maybe if this was developed into an add-on it could be setup so any extra images would have a fee attached.

    Speaking of web space, might I suggest to the developer having ads that are expired or marked unavailable for more than a week to auto delete. I give a week just to give the advertiser a chance to renew or make available again (transaction did not go through).

    Thanks guys. Those are all very valid suggestions. We would also prefer to leverage on existing plugins like Contact Form 7, and others to enhance our plugin experience.

    Anyway, please keep your suggestions coming. They are welcome and will definitely help improve it.
