Here is another suggestion that i havent seen but that doesn't mean it hasn't been made.

For the coupon section. The ability to upload an image (coupon) A text coupon does not look nearly as professional as an image. Plus all I need is one ding dong to sign up as a seller and make fake coupons that point back to me...

Thanks!

Background, I love it where you can change it b the date. but I would like to see if you could have multi-backgrounds or as one goes out the other comes in. when I say Multi I meen you can upload three four five how ever many you want, and they change all the time.

Default Any word on any of the updates

Just checking in on the updates.

It would be great to at least get the option to have different packages base on the length of the description that the Business can have.

And Restaurant Menus.

I can use both of these being I have a big market in my area all of the tv stations are after the the consumers and businesses and it is hard to compete with the big guy so if I could get these two option that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Richard

I have been meaning to add a few things to this board and decided I better add them soon before I forget...

None of these are HUGE issues to me however if they are implemented I believe they will just make this software stronger.

The ability to manage photos on auto and home listings... I had one of the auto places that list stuff on my site call me and ask how they can take off a picture they put on on accident without deleting the entire listing... I looked and it appears you cannot take off photos after they have been added. So maybe the ability to see thumbnails of your photos and the ability to delete them.

Classifieds Listings: The ability for someone to say choose up to two or three catergories for a classified. The reasons are two fold. 1) Say I was listing a refrigerator, it could go under "Household Items" or "Electronics" so having two catergories woudl give it more exposure. and the second reason is it woudl populate the classifieds meaning 20 listings would show up as 40 listings and duplicates are NOT bad if they are in different catergories. For instance eBay allows you to do this..

Also alphabetizing the subcatergories of the Classifieds just list the business directory would be nice..

This next one is a total fluff request BUT I have been told this by multiple people who take garage sale seriosuly. The ability to print off a list of all garage sales in an area on one page. and the ability to MAP the garage sale from the address with a click of a button like the busienss addresses can do.

Thanks for listening..

Sensible and good suggestions James. I know for myself I have found the first thing regarding photo changing/removing a missing functionality. We will look into the other ideas and see how implementation-friendly they are.

Thanks.

Suggestion...

Create an end time for events..

also

For the Garage Sales Section newly listed sales are on the bottom which is bad becuase older sales stay at the top so if the admin doesnt go in and clear them out then the section looks outdated...

Default Tell a friend option and more

Hello,

I haven't purchased the script yet. I'm thinking of doing so though... but in viewing the demo, I don't see a tell a friend option for the classifieds, autos, realestate, coupons sections, etc.

I'm wondering if its possible to add this option.

My situation is that I currently have a coupon savings site but would like to add additional features like PHPCityPortal offers, I already have a few of the features such as coupons of course, classifieds, garage sales, and events. The thing is that the user would have to register at each site (classifieds, garage sales, etc.)

I'm thinking of just replacing my site using your script as it features everything together.

I like all the features that my coupon script provides the user such as...

Coupons sorted by category and subcategory... makes it more user friendly for those who are searching for specific coupons such as dinner, auto repair, etc.

Send This Coupon to a friend option... sends the coupon to the user's friend... can also help build the membership count and provides free advertising for the site. Word of mouth is huge!

View business details option. When the link is clicked, the user is directed to a full page ad view of the business listing their logo, description, hours of operation, phone number, address, mapquest, website link as well as other coupons the business may be offering.

If I were to purchase the script now, would I be eligible for any of the new updates?

Thanks so much for your help.

Robin

Hello Robin,

Your ideas are meaningful, in particular the email coupon/real estate/etc to friend makes good sense.
It has also previously been suggested to add a image option to the coupons, so that it's in the pipe-line so to say.

You will be eligible for updates yes. Along with the life-time license you get when purchasing, you also get one-year access to upgrades.

Robin,

I know we have spoke previously via email about script a few months back.. i am glad to see you signed up for the forum...

One option in regards tot he coupon issue is to just put your coupon site within the phpcityportal site until the coupon functions meet your needs. For instance right now PHPCityportal lacks a Jobs module. However if you look on my Kankakee County Site I was able to incorporate a "third party" app right into the site.

I also feel strongly that the image to the coupon section is greatly needed and I know it is on their list which is good...

Default Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who responded. I did purchase the script and are currently working to get it ready for launch.

Looking forward to the new updates and hopefully some of my suggestions will be included.
