Title: getting rid of the bid option
Post by Mo-Jo on 12/26/04 at 00:54:12

how can i take the option to have bid on item just buy it now

plz help like a classifieds (which most look poo)

eAuction looks really good apart from the auction closes too soon after first bid. :(

and if i could remove the bid option and have it has a classified that would be great

thanks in advance,
Mo-Jo

Search eAuction.pl for:
sub check_item_data

Search the sub for:
oops($txt{'You must enter the number of days your auction should run, from 1 to 14'})
unless $form{'DAYS'} < 15;

Change the number of days an item should be up for sale.
Don't forget to change the related $text{} content (sub new, eConfig161.pl) too.

In order to disable the 'Sniper Protection' ...
search eConfig161.pl for $config{'aftermin'} and set the value to 0

In order to prevent users from placing a bid ...
make sure that the 'Starting price', the 'BuyItNow Price' and the 'Reserve Price' are containing the same amount

How Would That Be Done by just putting the number in once

right i know a bit of php

and when i post something like that i'd

$bid_start = $_POST['bid'];
$buy_it_now = $_POST['bitnow'];

so when i would post bid= and bitnow= they would be different

but if i did

$bid_start = $_POST['bitnow'];
$buy_it_now = $_POST['bitnow'];

so now when i'd post bitnow= they would be the same.

how could i do this in perl then i could do it in one field right

and delete all the html for the bid

$bid = parsebid($form{'BUY_IT'});
$buy_it = parsebid($form{'BUY_IT'});

would that work

Sorry - but I know nothing regarding the syntax of PHP.

it's very similar but i got it

i changed all the BID to BUY_IT

then delete all the field that refer to Bid increase and bid start then delete all the oops errors that showed up when i listed and item the item the listed

then i had to change all the auctionto whatever i wanted and all the html or the item so it got rid of thestarting bid current bid and the proxy bid thing at the bottom and it worked

but due to me been lazy i got bored so i'm scraping the idea i had and doing something php which i'm formilliar with

and i can't be bothered with all the advertising to get it up and running
