Classifieds [Paid] 1.2.0
- Thread starter Z61
- Start date
I'm testing the latest version of Classifieds on XenForo 2.3.9 and running into an issue with the "Ask a question" functionality.
The classifieds themselves are working correctly overall. Listings can be created normally, and I also have the automatic discussion thread creation working properly now. The attached discussion thread is being created successfully in the designated forum node.
However, clicking the "Ask a question" button on a listing always results in:
"You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."
The route being triggered ends with:
/add-question
Things I've already verified:
The auto-created discussion threads appear to be non-replyable. Even with "Post replies" permissions enabled, the reply editor does not appear, and XenForo displays:
"You have insufficient privileges to reply here."
The threads are NOT locked.
So right now it seems like the intended workflow is:
Listing → Ask Question → Inject reply into discussion thread
But since the /add-question route fails with a permission error, the attached discussion thread becomes effectively read-only.
Am I missing a required setting somewhere for listing questions/discussions, or is this a known issue with the current version on XF 2.3.x?
Thanks.

Things I've already verified:
- "Ask question on listing" permission is enabled in the permission analyzer
- "Contact listing owner" permission is enabled
- XenForo conversations work normally between users
- Users can manually PM each other without issue
- The listing discussion thread is being auto-created successfully
- The thread/forum node is visible and permissions are correct
- Users can view the thread normally
- No PHP/server errors are generated in the XenForo server error log
- The problem occurs for both regular users and admins
- The issue occurs even on brand new test listings/categories

Just the fixes, at the moment. I'll look at porting the features over but getting the add-on in better shape was the focus.
I'll check this out, this seems unexpected.
Nope. Tumbleweeds around @Naz
Those enhancements have been folded into v2.0.2 now. Note that you'll need to disable that add-on before upgrading. I'll get the resource listing updated here in the next few days.
The Q&A functionality is not quite ready yet, and the button was showing erroneously. I've removed it in v2.0.2.
Good point- I've put up a hotfixed version with the button removed, so if you grab v2.0.1a from your account area, that'll sort it for you.
@Naz the add-on main description shows it's compatible up to 2.2. Can you verify 2.3 compatible, and also 2.3.11? I don't want to upgrade to 2.3.11 until someone verifies it's compatible. I have your latest 2.0 version installed. It also shows version 1.2.0 here, etc. so it seems quite a bit of review/cleanup is needed to bring your metadata up to date here.
Has anyone upgraded to 2.3.11 with the latest version of this add-on yet?

Yeah, it's on my list of things to do; keep getting sidetracked.
This error looks to be caused by the combination of some orphaned files in this add-on and this XF core bug.
The Classifieds 2.0 upgrade renamed several files, but the XF add-on upgrade process does not delete the old versions, so both copies are sitting in the add-on directory. Normally, this isn't a problem, but the aforementioned bug is causing those stale files to be loaded when they shouldn't be.
If you have command-line access, you can clear the old files with XF's built-in cleanup command. You can use the following command to see what will be deleted:
php cmd.php xf:file-clean-up Z61/Classifieds --dry-runRemove
--dry-run when you're ready to delete the unused files.I'm looking into a workaround for those without command-line access.
@Naz - This the result of the dry run. I'm afraid to do anything with this many files. Please confirm.Yeah, it's on my list of things to do; keep getting sidetracked.

Per Claude I used: sudo -u www-data php cmd.php xf:file-clean-up Z61/Classifieds --dry-run
Yeah, those are all expected. You're good to run that.
