Title: reverse auction
Post by mopomasa on 03/26/05 at 12:36:49

Hello!

This auction script seems to be very good and useful, but is there any way to do auction "reverse".
Buyer leaves "want to buy" and sellers do the competition. Lowest price wins

That should be possible ...
- search the script for each $inc
- change each found minus (-) into plus (+)
- change each found plus (+) into minus (-)

I changed plus and minus, works ok. When betting lower bet -> 'Your bid is too low' I changed '>' '<' from code and works ok. ;D

Problem is: first bet is always the starting price (nomatter what amount you put on it) and when betting lower than that, always the first one makes automaticly lower bet. ? :(

After that i noticed: if i post a new item for computers categories, item wont show in list. Only thru 'my auction-center' will show that. I changed original code to server and cleaned everything, same problem appears. ???

You must try to understand the system of sub proc_bid.

That's because your server-time is different from your local time.

Open eConfig161.pl and search for $config{'time_delay'}.

Edit:
The first item has already appeared. :)

is there any way you could expand on the knowledge of proc_bid and what needs to be changed in order to make the revese auction work correctly
