Featured Listings, Sponsored Listings and Special Visibility Listings
You have the option to see featured ads, sponsored listings and special visibility listings for upselling purposes.
Featured Listings
You can display a specific amount of featured listings similar to most recent ads, most popular ads, most saved ads
and random listings from category X on any system page like "cat.html" with following tag: [X_FeaturedAds]
(replace X with the amount of listings you would like to display such as 5 for 5 featured ads).
You can additional utilise the tag [FEATURED] on all listing related templates like ad.html, ad1.html, ad1_custom1.html etc.
which signals that this listing is a featured ad. You can set the text in english.lng file.
Sponsored Listings
Sponsored listings are displayed before regular listings in their respected category. You can additional utilise the tag [SPONSORED]
on all listing related templates like ad.html, ad1.html, ad1_custom1.html etc.
which signals that this listing is a sponsored ad. You can set the text in english.lng file.
Custom Visibility Listings
You can setup an unlimited amount of special visibility appearances for the users to chose from to incease their
ad visibility, a popular example would be ebay's bold listing title upselling option. By default, the system comes
with 2 custom visibility templates, ad1_custom1.html and ad1_custom2.html. Both templates control the layout
of the listing container similar to the default template ad1.html. By default, ad1_custom1.html is set to display
the title in bold and in red color. You can change this and the whole container fully according to your needs.
Now open ad1_custom1.html in a text editor such as notepad and find the 3rd line:
<!--Custom template # 1-->
This is the label for this special visibility container. Change it, for example, to:
<!--Bold and red title-->
Now, during listing posting, the user would be able to select a special visibiliy template for his ad, and the option
in the selection box would come up as:
Bold and red title
How to add more custom visibility templates
Download ad_fields.txt from the program_files folder and store it in a very safe place, this is your backup in case something
goes wrong. In this case you can just upload it back to the server and the system works without problems! Download now another copy of ad_fields.txt
from the program_files folder on your server to your PC and open it in a text editor such as notepad.
Then find following line:
custom_template|custom_template|custom_template|menu|any| |40|||Yes|0|Yes|Yes|Yes|;ad1_custom1.html;ad1_custom2.html|1|
IMPORTANT: THIS IS ONE LINE AND MUST REMAIN IN ONE LINE BEFORE SAVING AND UPLOADING THE FILE.
(ad1_custom1.html and ad1_custom2.html are the names the of custom_templates)
So you want to add 3 more custom templates, change the line to read:
custom_template|custom_template|custom_template|menu|any| |40|||Yes|0|Yes|Yes|Yes|;ad1_custom1.html;ad1_custom2.html;ad1_custom3.html;ad1_custom4.html;ad1_custom5.html|1|
REMEMBER: THIS IS ONE LINE AND MUST REMAIN IN ONE LINE BEFORE SAVING AND UPLOADING THE FILE.
Now just duplicate files ad1_custom1.html and name them ad1_custom3.html, ad1_custom4.html and ad1_custom5.html. Then edit each listing container according to your needs, label them (see above on how to label) and upload to the /templates folder on your server.
At this time, the new custom templates will be automatically selectable during listing posting on listing posting step 2 by the user.
