XOOPS Version:2.0.15 with form.php fix
Module Name/Version: mxdirectory 3.0 RC1
PHP Version:4.3.10
MySQL Version:3.23.49

Problem 1

Whilst there is the facility on the submit form in mxdirectory to allow customers to upload a 'Logo' for their business listing in Gold and Platinum levels, there does not seem to be a facility for customers to upload extra pictures/photos to be added to their Ads.

On the matrix.php page there is this line that states:-
----------------------------------------------------
Photos & Images
Add photos to your display ad. Whether it is a photo of you business, products, services, supplier logos, etc. Adding pictures to your display ad will help promote your business.
----------------------------------------------------

I have a customer wanting to know how to add the extra images to his listing, I'd like to know how to do this. Is this something that was left out on the submission form? Or is there some other way of doing this?



Problem 2

I find that mxdirectory does not seem to differentiate between paid for and free listings, but will only place listings in alphabetical order, irrespective of type of listing.

I would have thought that if someone paid for a 'Platinum Listing' that this would default to the top of any page that their listing was placed. But this is not happening as free listings are being placed above a 'Platinum Listing', and only seems to be working in alphabetical order.

What settings need to be enabled or disabled in the mxdirectory module to correct this, so that a 'Platinum Listing' will default to the top of a page and a 'Gold Listing' to default bellow a platinum etc etc and any free listing will be placed at the bottom.

For Problem 1:

User can upload one logo for their listing.

User can link pictures into the discription text block or use pictures which have been uploaded into the sites image manager by the admins.



For Problem 2:

In the preferences for the module make sure you have:

-Sponsored listings- header Active? Set to YES.

Also for the Platinum Level make sure you have the ones for Sponsors listings links etc highlighted. For Platinum I have all of mine highlighted.

I haven't quite figured out exactly what all the definitions in the Levels setting blocks mean within the preferences or which ones do what for each of the levels. But setting the things I mentioned does ensure that my Platinum Level advertisers display properly with highlight color as well as on top of the category listing page in the Sponsor Heading.

Quest

Think I'd rather let users link the image from their site rather than upload them to my space as I will be getting quite a few signing up and others may start to use someone else's images.

As to the listing levels. The method you mention still does not work correctly. Whilst I can place Platinum listings in the Sponsored link section, the Platinum listing should still remain at the top without doing this. Lower graded listings are still getting better placings as the module is defaulting to alphabetical order instead of listing type.

I am using all the levels from normal listing to platinum listing. Now, if using the Sponsored link section is enabled for all paying entries, after all if they are paying then they are sponsoring, from copper up to platinum, then the module still seems to default to alphabetical listings, instead of placing platinum on top, gold second, silver third and so on as it should do. I've got 2 copper lisings above a platinum listing in one area and a copper listing infront of a silver listing in another, although they are in alphabetical order they are not in listing type order as they should be.

I'm getting it in the neck with one paid for listing complaining to me about this and I can't give him the answer he wants to hear as I don't know what the resolution is to this situation.
