Kind Assistance and Advice from anyone for Reposting of Advertisements

  • Hi,

    First of all, I must say that out of the similar plugins I have tried, Advanced Classifieds & Directory Pro is by far, the most comprehensive and easy to use free plugin for ads creation, I am grateful that your development team has really done a great and Sincere job in contributing to the WordPress community. I have actually gone through all the topics in the 11 pages(as till date) before I post this topic. I am totally new to WordPress and any programming, php/CSS etc.,so I seriously need kind advices from the community.

    (1) In the “manage-listings” page, beside each advertisement, there are only 2 buttons which are edit and delete,
    [1a] – Is there any way to set up another button called “Repost” Only beside each advertisement with “Published” status (there will be no “Repost” button beside advertisements with “Draft” status), of which the function of the “Repost” button is that once the user clicks this button, the particular advertisement will go right to the top of the category in the website, e.g. if user A go to his “manage-listings” page and click the “Repost” button beside his published XYZ advertisement advertised under category “Car” in a classified ad website, this XYZ advertisement will immediately be push up(bump up) the search list to be the first/top advertisement in category “Car” (i.e. first/top ad amongst all the other free ads section, since some sites will put the paid featured advertisements cluster above all the free ads).

    [1b] – In addition, is there a way for web Admin to specify a minimum number of hours after a user has first published/last repost could the user repost again to avoid the user reposting every few minutes and exhaust/bring down the system

    In the essence of time and since this function is fairly common among many advertisement websites, could someone direct me as to which file(s) for this App/Wordpress Admin should I amend e.g. template file/other php files etc
    to (i)add repost button (ii)create the repost function (iii)Admin to specify the minimum time in between consecutive reposts(and minimum time between 1st repost and 1st published), with the relevant workable code and which position in each file to place in. Greatly appreciated, really.

    (2)As to the multiple selection of images(for the advertised product) by shift-click or ctrl-click/Drag and Drop into an image box for image uploading, understand this is already inside the to-do list of the great developer team, any estimated date where the plugin could add in this function as compared to the current one-by-one upload of images?

    In the meantime, could someone direct me as to which file(s) for this App/Wordpress Admin should I amend
    e.g. template file/other php files etc to add in the function to have multiple selection of images by shift-click or ctrl-click AND/OR Drag and Drop into an image box for image uploading (and creation of this image box), with the relevant workable code and which position in each file to place in. I have tried to search the internet but there seems to be many variations and many unworkable ones, need advice on a solution for a workable method regardless of the individual size of each image/total size of all the images in each selection.

    Thank you all for the attention to the above long content, this is the first WordPress enquiry topic I have created and I tried to indicate as detailed as possible on the issues I am encountering, tks for the patience in reading.

    I’m very sorry that I cannot give you the CODE solution, but I can just get you the files in where you need to make changes.

    1. REPOST

    Our “Manage Listings” page uses the layout file under /wp-content/plugins/advanced-classifieds-and-directory-pro/public/partials/user/acadp-public-manage-listings-display.php

    We use Bootstrap for the design. So, if you’re familiar with Bootstrap, you will not find anything hard to edit our layout files and add your REPOST button.

    But, the functionality of the REPOST must be coded by you and I would suggest adding your code in your theme’s functions.php file. Our Plugin uses “Custom Post Type” called “acadp_listngs”, so if you’re familiar with WordPress Custom Post Types, then you will not find hard understanding our CODE and adding new functionalities.

    NOTE: Instead of modifying our layout files directly, I would recommend writing a override. Kindly refer https://pluginsware.com/documentation/customizing-acadp-templates/

    2. Multi Image selection

    You can customize our listing form and add the multi upload option. You just need to write override for {WP root}/wp-content/plugins/advanced-classifieds-and-directory-pro/public/partials/user/acadp-public-edit-listing-display.php

    NOTE: Both the REPOST(“Bump AD”, planned as a PRO add-on) and “Multi Image selection” features are already in our PLAN. But, requires sometime. Kindly be patience.
