                      | Hi Everyone, 
 With the recent requests for this mod, I managed to set aside a night to work and finish this Mod.
 
 Great news...I've finished the admin part and cleaned up my code a bit, so I'm going to release this Mod today.
 
 features:
 - snitz look and feel
 - different categories with description.
 - extended poster info..email, zip code, address, ads photo url, etc..
 - more...
 
 Also because you need to be a member of forum to post ad on the classifieds, this mod might help you get more visitors(guests) to sign up for the forum.
 
 Well here it is:
 code: http://www.calvsa.net/snitz31sr4/classifieds.zip
 
 demo: http://www.calvsa.net/snitz31sr4/classifieds.asp
 
 Enjoy
  . Alan Le
 
 Note:  I created this mod for snitz version 3.1 sr4, it may or may not work for the other versions.  Also I mainly developed this using access with sql server in mind.  It may still not work on sql server.

                      | If you've just downloaded this mod before time of this post. re-download it please.  The zip didn't have my latest version so had a typo in one of the sql statements.  Zip udated with latest version now.

 I'm calling it a night and won't be back on until tomorrow night california time.  So you won't get replies on this until then.
 
 
 btw: HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!
 Blessings for a year even better than the year just pasted for Snitz Forum.

                      | Hey Aznknight ... 
 Love this MOD. I just installed it, but I am unable to delete categories. When click on the garbage can it takes me back to the home page.
 
 I know nothing about .ASP and how you guys work your magic but i'll take a peek inside and see if I can figure something out.

 Woops, cut and paste thingy...Sorry.
 
 I fixed this in the zip now.  Re-download and just replace the classifieds.asp page.  Also fixed it so that inc_footer is included right in classadmin.asp.  You don't have to re-do the setup script.

 PS I couldn't stay away from snitz so i'm back on sooner than i thought

 What's the "thing" about the date format?  I tried to use the forum date format on this mod..so it should be fine and consistent with the forum.

 Happy Chinese New Year!
  This is a great little "yahoo" mod!
 I'll try to see if I can find some bug
  
 
 Actually "Chinese New Year" is the incorrect term for it...since the chinese are not the only one that celebrate it.  It is a misnomer because other asian nations including Vietnam, Laos, Singapore, and Korea celebrate it to.  Also since it's based on the Lunar Calendar (every 15th is a full moon), the correct term would be Lunar New Year's.
 
 this is a bit different than yahoo in that it's good for posting ads but doesn't really work for link management.  But you're right in that it's not hard to concieve of a link management system using similar code found in this mod.  This gets my wheel turning.  Maybe it will be in the next installment of Snitz Package/Suite hehe
  
 Also I was just playing with the ferrari spider.  I don't own one...wish i did...if I own it I wouldn't be selling it though
  .  It was just a nice thing for a test ad. 
 If you happen to find any bugs, post it up and I'll get it fix asap

                      | Thank you very much Aznknight. 
 I d-loaded the .zip and opened up classifieds.asp in Araneae and just added the 2 missing lines to my classifieds.asp (cause I had already edited it for my colour config.), and it seems to work like a charm so far
  
 BTW ... a Ferrari?? Nahhhh !!!! Go all out and get a Lambourghini Countach
  
 Thanks again ehh!!

                      | On line #94 of classdetail.asp 
 change:
 
 
 Posted on <%=rs("date_posted")%><br>
 
 
 to:
 
 
 Posted on <% =ChkDate(rs("date_posted")) %><br>
 
 
 This will show just the date, not the time.
 
 If you want the time also then use this:
 
 
 Posted on <% =ChkDate(rs("date_posted")) %> at <% =ChkTime(rs("date_posted")) %><br>

 Using your comment about "Yahoo!" as a starting point and my being code illiterate - what would it take to turn this mod into a Yahoo Style Directory Listing?
 
 This mod is excellent but I would also like the ability to place a directory for users to list their websites and other online resources - by category of course.
 
 What would it take to do this to the classifieds mod???
 
 Anyone able to make the conversion?
 
 Thanks!
