How can I create adverts - Classifieds ads extension

Hello Community and Developers,

I have a question. How can I create Classifieds Adverts with Classifieds Ads?

I have imported the addon now and there is at most a few addon settings, but I find in the backend of Composr no way to create such adverts.

In the front end I can find something like "My Adverts". How can I create it in the backend?

Thanks in advance.

The basic process for setting up this addon is:

1. Create a catalogue for the adverts (Content Management > Catalogues > Add Catalogue)
2. Set the fields for the catalogue as appropriate
3. Set the permissions to "Add/Post/Submit entries" (i.e. not unvetted, not bypassing validation)
4. Add whatever categories you want to your catalogue
5. Go to Admin Zone > Setup > Classifieds pricing
6. Set prices up against your catalogue
7. Make sure your catalogue is on your menus

Users will find add links when browsing the catalogue. Their entries will be added as non-validated. From their classifieds module they may then pay for their classified advert to go live (this uses the eCommerce module, validating the entry upon payment).

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the more detailed explanation and I look at it again.
