Classified Ads module installation instructions
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
=== Installation ===
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1) Copy this directory to a suitable modules directory, such as
|
| 8 |
sites/all/modules
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2) Enable the module at: Administer > Site building > Modules. This will
|
| 11 |
create the necessary tables and taxonomy
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
3) Configure the module settings at: Administer > Site configuration >
|
| 14 |
Classified Ads. You should decide on an expiration and purge policy,
|
| 15 |
as well as a max body length (in characters).
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
4) IMPORTANT: Add terms to the taxonomy that has been created during the
|
| 18 |
installation. The taxonomy name is called 'Classified Ads' by default,
|
| 19 |
and you should add some terms before you allow any classified ads to
|
| 20 |
be created.
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
For example, you might want to create a simple taxonomy structure like:
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
- Buy
|
| 25 |
- Sell
|
| 26 |
- Trade
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
etc. Be sure to set desired options for the taxonomy - like
|
| 29 |
single/multiple select, hierarchy options, etc. The taxonomy should
|
| 30 |
have been configured to work with the ed_classified content type.
|
| 31 |
I've used various taxonomy schemes, and I will be providing handbook
|
| 32 |
entries that describe how to use taxonomies to manage classified ads.
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Note: do not delete this taxonomy vocabulary - it's 'owned' by the
|
| 35 |
ed_classified module, and is required for proper functioning.
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
5) Now, visit admin/user/access and set the desired access permissions.
|
| 38 |
For example, allow authenticated users access to 'create classified
|
| 39 |
ads' and 'edit own classified ads', etc.
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
6) Visit admin/build/block and enable the classified ads blocks you
|
| 42 |
want to display. Please note that the popular ads block requires
|
| 43 |
access log features enabled (if you haven't enabled access logging in
|
| 44 |
admin/logs/settings (enable 'Count content views' and 'Enable access
|
| 45 |
log' settings.)
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Authorized users may now add classified ads.
