Hi,

The server move has been completed.

Thanks,

We are moving to a new server. Hopefully there will
be minimal downtime.

Not at the moment but we are looking into it.

Thanks.

Would it be possible to get auto posting to craigslist where anything posted on the site would post to craigs list with a code that would pull the info from our website and display in the add as a include.

Some thing like auto trader auto posting, my client is looking for something like that.

Thank you.

Doing it locally and then uploading the images manually should work. The only catch is that the program may have trouble deleting the images from the server when you remove a listing. It depends on the server setup and is due to the ownership of the files being different between what PHP and FTP. You can change the perms on the files to correct it though. Of course you will need to be able to access mysql externally or export and import the local database to the server database.

Basically there is no way to just do it all at once. Doing it locally would eliminate the time it takes to upload the original images which would add up over a hundred listings.

I will take that into consideration and possibly add an option to choose the upload method used. That way people that can raise the limits can upload all at once and those that can't can do it one at a a time.

Thanks,

My local server method will work for my initial listings. I will just ftp the processed images from the 3 local image file folders to the web server after I have entered all the data locally.

     Ideally, I would like to be able to add all my listings at once (usually only a few at a time), and then upload and resize all the images at the end. This would greatly expedite new listings as all the processing would be done post entry.

     I understand that most people don't have access to php.ini, but for those of us who do, this would be very helpful.

     I would be ok with the database being updated prior to the upload, and could live with the web server error until the images were uploaded at the end.

     Is this a possible option?

thanks,

The only difference in the database itself between 2.8 and 2.7 is the addition of the video table. Adding the listings with 2.7 will not cause any problems but you would need to manage the videos with 2.8 if you intend to have any.

The problem with uploading the images with ftp is that they will still need to be processed by the scripts to rename, re-size, and place them in the correct folders. To do the shift click to select the images would require custom coding since we do not plan to update previous versions with it.

If you like, I can give access to 2.7.2 once you purchase a license. The admin scripts are editable. The only files in the paid version that are protected are the files in the includes/function/ folder. There are some functions in there that handle image resizing and other admin functions but I can help with modification if needed.

There is no license issue with mixing the two versions. The only real limitation is that each site needs a license.

Thanks,
Tim
