I've been updating the plugin and now looking for anyone interested in testing it.
I've removed the hardcoded language, so it would be easier to make translations.
Improved some error handling.
Fixed the paths.
And other.
To update just replace the files but prior to that please backup your existing copy
So if you interested in testing mail or PM me and I'll send you an evaluation copy.
Thanks a lot

OK, have installed it and listed some ads. I wasn't pleased with the thumbnail size, found out that the thumbnail size is not only configured in functions.inc but also in detail.php.
So please delete the hardcode sizes in detail.php and add a vspace and hspace tag.
Uploading images only worked with CHMOD 777, not 755.
But so far so good, it works fine!
Details for the future: still some hard coded text, lousy templates, but the earlier errors are gone anyway.
BTW does the license allow to remove the zClassifieds vignette?
Robin, many thanx for your efforts!

First of all thank you for your time beewee
I'm not sure if I can do that. The problem is that thumbs restriction is based on size (>=10kb) and this means uploading big images in terms of H&W so there must be a fixed size set. Have you tested it?
Gotta investigate this one.
Could you give some examples of hardcoded text, it must have slipped through my eyes
Templates: actually there are none at the moment
Big challenge for the future.
Glad to hear that at least some of the errors have gone away.
Not sure about this one. Below an excerpt from original readme:
Before I started working on this plugin I tried to contact the author (Alan Zhao love1001_98@yahoo.com) however with no luck Looks like this script has become an abandonware.

That would be in list.php, look for this and add your choice there:
Text Formatted Code
echo " <td width=\"130\" height=\"30\">$LANG_ADVT[ad_duration]</td>\n";echo " <td width=\"370\" height=\"30\"><select size=\"1\" name=\"days\">\n";
echo " <option>15</option>\n";
echo " <option>30</option>\n";
echo " <option>45</option>\n";
echo " <option>60</option>\n";
echo " <option>90</option>\n";
echo " <option>120</option>\n";
echo " <option>365</option>\n";
------EDIT--------
This was added to RC1. Now users can assign as many days as neded.

There is a workaround. First of all get yourself the Group Access tool by Blaine.
With the tool remove advt.edit feature from Logged-in Users group.
Create a group ADVT Premium Users and assign to that group advt.edit feature. Then add "premium" users to that group. Hope that helps

That would require some modification of zClassified files (detail.php), adding the check whether you're logged or not. Currently there is no restriction to that but it's feasible, I hope.

You can find the zClassified 1.0 RC 1 here.
Following newblogger's question about different timing of ads I changed that so now it's up to you for how long an add will be on.
Update instructions:
1. Backup your original files.
2. Copy the content of the archive
3. Don't worry about DB because it hasn't been changed (yet )
Of course waiting for your feedback on ... everything realated to zClassified
Thank you

But how can I prevent showing the My Account / Place new Add links to anonymous visitors?
Remove them from the files/templates and put them in a block?
::: edit :::
Yes, but it's quite a job, commenting out all the lines in the different files

The template is still a bit tricky, with all the fontsizes and bgcolors in the PHP files, but I can cope with that.
Now I'm testing and templating it again I found out that I'm missing something which might be important for all users: a field for the price, which willo have to be displayed in the list as well....
How can I add an extra field?

First of all you would need to add a new filed in gl_advt_ads table called price. Then there would be a need for modifying list.php and detail.php files i.e. new field and sql's.
I will add it to the next RC.

Robin is it possible to make a change for the next RC that will enable admin to allocate wether or not a user can add an ad or not? Or is it possible to leave users ' List an add' enabled but have all user submissions placed in an approval list for admin to approve before diplaying ads. 
Also is it possible to limit the number of ads a user can list. or can this be added to admin functions in future RC's.Regards

On the second thought I came up with an alternative solution that doesn't require any changes to db and consecutive changes in many files. This solution is not limited to one field like price but allows you to add more information. It's not very elegant and requires a minimum html knowledge of a submitter.
All you need to do is to add this code
Text Formatted Code
<hr><br><b>Additional Information</b>
<p><b>Info 01:</b> e.g. Make</p>
<p><b>Info 02:</b> e.g. Price</p>
<p><b>Info 03:</b> e.g. Origin</p>
<p><b>Info 04:</b> e.g. Mileage</p>
<p><b>Info 05:</b> e.g. Year</p>
<p><b>Info 06:</b> e.g. Color</p>
<p><b>Info 07:</b> e.g. Engine</p>
to list.php to this line (29
Text Formatted Code
echo " <td width=\"370\"><textarea rows=\"8\" name=\"descript\" cols=\"40\" maxlength=\"1000\"></textarea></td>\n";so it looks like this
Text Formatted Code
echo " <td width=\"370\"><textarea rows=\"8\" name=\"descript\" cols=\"40\" maxlength=\"1000\"><hr><br><b>Additional Information</b>
<p><b>Info 01:</b> e.g. Make</p>
<p><b>Info 02:</b> e.g. Price</p>
<p><b>Info 03:</b> e.g. Origin</p>
<p><b>Info 04:</b> e.g. Mileage</p>
<p><b>Info 05:</b> e.g. Year</p>
<p><b>Info 06:</b> e.g. Color</p>
<p><b>Info 07:</b> e.g. Engine</p></textarea></td>\n";
You can prepare a default code and users will have the option to add or remove it.
You can see it here
If you have any of WSIWYG editors enabled it would look OK.
Just a quick workaround. Let me know what you think.

It's defenitely on my to do list. But when ... God only knows
Quote by k74:Also is it possible to limit the number of ads a user can list. or can this be added to admin functions in future RC's.
I will put it in my to do list

Robin, many thanks for your efforts. Since I found out that most of my members are completely insane I'm afraid they would make a complete mess of this. And I would like to show the price in the adds-list also.
Now comes a very dumb, unpolite and mean question, so I please accept my sincere apologies:
I will add it to the next RC.
Any idea when?
