Add-on Classifieds addon development discussion

[Mackeral_Fillet]

This Add On is very promising. I will definitely be making a purchase when its ready. Thank you @Stuart Wright for your efforts in starting what we've all been waiting for.

 

[Thom Tyler]

Nice one @Stuart Wright - Spec list is looking bang on so far.

 

[Stuart Wright]

I have a couple of market research type questions for those people intending to buy this addon.
First how many licenses do you intend to purchase?

And Second, there will be two types of packages. Those which are free and those which require payment from the advertiser. How many of you only want the free packages? I.e. the classifieds on your site will be completely free?
Please reply with the number of licenses you want and either Free Packages Only or Paid Packages Required.
Thanks.

No, I am talking to @Daniel Hood about it. We have worked together recently on the Tag Essentials addon and another 'essentials' addon that he is about to release. Chris D also likes his code.

Hopefully he gets XenReviews to atleast RC before taking on another big project such as this.

I almost commented on this issue but decided since nobody mentioned it yet I'd let it ride out.

As I've been telling you guys, custom work does not take away from XenReviews. The size of the project doesn't matter so much. Stuart and I have broken this project into 10 different milestones. All in similar size to custom projects I've already done for him the past several months. I am 100% reliant on my full time job + 10 hours of freelance work a week. That 10 hours goes to my boss as overtime by default. Then I spend a few more hours a week (+ Liam's time) on XenMods add-ons (bug + feature additions) and XenReviews. Nothing takes away from those few hours but they are in excess to what my family requires to support ourselves. When I get a custom job related to XenForo, it comes out of the 10 hours that I would otherwise be spending working for my boss in the form of overtime. XenForo paid jobs or not, I am spending 10 hours a week working on something else.

This is off topic, if we need to discuss this more, I'd prefer it be in a different thread or privately.

I think this was mentioned earlier on in the thread or in another one, but I thought I would say it just in case. A feature I think that would be very useful, especially for my community would be a user having to select from a pre-defined list of items.

Free Packages Only or Paid Packages Required

What do you mean by items?

 

[MasonK]

What do you mean by items?

Items as in items somebody would like to buy, trade, or sell.

I think he is asking the same thing I suggested here.

 

[Stuart Wright]

Items as in items somebody would like to buy, trade, or sell.

Why would you want to limit what people can buy/sell/exchange?

This is because my niche and maybe others only want members listing certain items and to make it a simpler process of simply clicking on the item from the list you want to sell and then fill in a few small areas such as price and then you're done.

Can you give an example of what items you'd specify? Do you have classifieds running already? Do you have experience of running a classifieds system with limited products?
