Thread: New Listing not able to be added on demo site!? Help please.

New Listing not able to be added on demo site!? Help please.

Hi,

I have two questions/concerns. Please help.

Firstly, when I am on the Vantage theme demo, I am having an error.

When I go to Vantage theme, (not admin), then to dashboard > new listing...

I filled out the form fully (and ticked both listing extras) to see how it works and was not able to go on to the next step on my mac either in Firefox 13 or Safari. On both browsers, the page simply jumped/refreshed, leaving the content on the page but not continuing to the next step.

Is this just a demo problem? I am concerned this same issue could happen to my customers if I purchase Vantage, thus having people leave the site without listing.

Secondly, in Vantage Admin > Settings > Payments... Featured listings doesn't appear to have a duration of days area while basic listings does. How is this possible? Is it indefinitely or for a set amount of days which the admin cannot change in the settings area? Please advise.

Many Thanks,
Rebekah

Hi Rebekah,

I can assure you that this is an issue only with the demo and not with the theme.In general you cannot create a listing in the demo from the front end or the back end.This is a security measure.

You are right you cannot set a different duration for featured listings and normal listings at the moment.The 'Listing duration' field controls both of them.Developers are working on a new group of features for Vantage 1.1. that will allow more flexible pricing/business plans.

Let me know if you have more questions about the theme.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. That is very helpful. I have one more question about how Vantage works.

What happens when the listing duration finishes? Can it be set to automatically re-bill again (and again) until the member chooses to finish? It could be a real pain for customers to have to keep re-listing and I'd soon lose customers if they lose their listing automatically with no incentive to come back.

I look forward to 1.1 and am thinking about waiting for it until I buy so it is more stable. Is it true that the aim is to have it ready around the end of August?

Thanks!

Rebekah

Rebekah,

Vantage doesn't support recurring payments at the moment.The customer/buyer see all of his listings in his dashboard and if one of them is expired he can re list it.

There is no estimated time of arrival for Vantage 1.1.You can follow AppThemes on Twitter or check periodically our blog and Theme release page for updates.

Thanks.

Thanks. That answers my questions. I appreciate your quick responses.

My pleasure! Let me know if you have any more :)
