Address, Zip Code, etc??

[RIChristianscom]

Is there is hack/mod that I can incorporate within my admin area that will create fields to include a listing's address, zip code, phone & cell #, etc. and other useful information? I currently list all this within the description field and would prefer not to.

Why don't use custom field? go to admin panel -> database -> alter

Thanks, Dody. I read about this in another thread and thought about doing it. However with my limited knowledge of SQL I am nervous. I'll give it a whirl though.

Well, that was simple enough. Following Dody's advice seemed to create custom fields within a admin area. Now how do I go about having those fields display the entered information within the "Details" area of a listing? It's not showing up.

Nevermind, found what I was looking for in the Themes folder. Despite alot of bugs I've found ever since buying this script and my severe lack of understanding PHP as a whole, this is a easy and straight forward script to play around with code wise (compared to some I've tried it with anyway.)

Thanks again, Dody.

Hey Guys,

I'm half way through this process and can't figure this out. (I'm using v3.2) I added a custom form field within the 'add listing' html page named 'sponsor'. I have it as a simple drop dowm menu 'No Sponsor' or 'Yes Sponsor'. I then altered the database table to add the field but when a listing is submitted, the field is blank. Here is my code:

<tr class="tbl_normal">
   <td>Sponsor?</td>
   <td>
   <select name="sponsor">
   <option value="no">No, thanks. Standard placement is perfect.</option>
   <option value="YES">YES! Please contact me regarding payment!</option>
   </select>
   </td>
   </tr>

I'm sure I am close I just can't figure out what to add where!

Thanks a lot.

JC
