Need Addon

[bit]

Hallo everyone,

I asked about changing row color on searchresults page for featured listings, and I got answer that addon would be the best solution.

So Im posting here what I need and if somebody is ready to write this addon please send me your offer.

An addon could be created to pull the field value for the featured field... however since its a yes/no field it stores its values in the database as "0" or "1"... so you may want to have the addon convert the 0 or 1 into something like _featured... then in your search results template do something like:

<tr class="result_row_{row_num_even_odd}{addon_feature d_check}">

Then for all your listings that are featured you would get an output of something like:
<tr class="result_row_1_featured">
<tr class="result_row_2_featured">

And your non-featured listings would still give you the normal output of:
<tr class="result_row_1">
<tr class="result_row_2">

thank you.

Here you go. Use {addon_featuredcheck_show} in your search results template. It will return 'featured' for featured listings and nothing if the listing is not featured.

great work PB, thank you very much. works perfect. I will suggest to incorporate this in next release.

Thank you.

We'll look at it for the next release. I only wrote this up as I didn't want to see you pay someone a ridiculous price for 10 minutes worth or coding.

OK, I understand what you mean.

One question come to my mind: Can I also use this on edit my listings page in admin section. I got a lot of ideas to use this on administration side too.

For example: I asked some times ago about possible modification of paypal addons to work with other payment providers (and other retailer services like 2checkout.com). So if I could use this on admin page (edit my listings page) I could put custom link: "purchase featured listings" or "purchase something bla bla for this listing" for purchasing featured option using 2checkout. I can do this right now, but it would be much nicer to hide that purchase link if listing is already featured. I hope you understand what I mean.

Also, I want to say this is great addon that also allow us not only to change row color for featured listings, but also to use some icon s (images) to display for featured listings, to highlight them.

For example , we can create two icons:

- first : listingtype.gif (blank one - transparent) and
- second: listingtypefeatured.gif (icon to highlight featured listing)

Than just call that image with: {template_url}/images/listingtype{addon_featuredcheck_show}.gif

Once again thank you PB for making our lives easier : )

Hi Bit,
I tried that and all it gives me is the name of the link not the picture.
What else so I need to do other than,..
"call that image with: {template_url}/images/listingtype{addon_featuredcheck_show}.gif"
Thanks,
Brandy1J~

did you made two images:

listingtype.gif (transparent) and
listingtypefeatured.gif

and put in your: {template_url}/images/ folder?

[brandy1j]

Yes I Did. I get: mysite.com/listings/template/tarynbrandyn/images/listingtypefeatured.gif
See it here..
It pushed everything to the side and I don't see a picture.

you need to know basic html: how to show some image on page:

<img src="{template_url}/images/listingtype{addon_featuredcheck_show}.gif">

[brandy1j]

Thanks, I know html and a little bit of other stuff but silly me I tend to take things at face value so when you said "Than just call that image with: {template_url}/images/listingtype{addon_featuredcheck_show}.gif" I naturally assumed it was some new way to add it and therefore didn't think about the other part.
Sorry again. I thought I learned a new way to make an image appear! Ha, Ha!
I'll be an expert by the time this is over!
