Thread: Hong Kong Private Tutor Listing Site with Classipress!

Hong Kong Private Tutor Listing Site with Classipress!

I have recently launched my Classipress site - www.hkprivatetutors.com, very excited about it!

Appreciate any comments/suggestions/questions!

Excellent one!
Best of luck in your project

Very nice. What plugins you're using for changing language?

I used an old plugin called XLanguage http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xlanguage/

The plugin is not actively supported now, but it still works fine on my 3.1.4 classipress installation.

Not perfect solution, as I can't get the ad category and some of the custom fields value translation to work, so I am putting both languages together on some part of the site. But other than that, I am very satisfied with what it does.

Congratulations, dude. A truly nice work you have here. It would be better if your site can be translated to English automatically or via Google Translate.

Thanks rubencio and tetrapackage!

Tetrapackage, there is a language toddler on the top left corner where you can switch between English and Chinese. The site default language is chinese though because of my target users.

And going into the ad page (e.g. http://www.hkprivatetutors.com/lang/...C%9F%E7%8F%AD/), there is a Google Translate option right above the main description text.

I don' really understand the content héhéhéhé...
Hong Kong made

for me not bad I like the graphical chart

mr green

looks nice .. good luck

@Fran,
Happy New Year. Good looking n functional site you have created. You may want to create a favicon (you can find a plugin easily) for branding purpose. (let me know if you need my help in searching for the plugin). i hv a question which i hope u can help.
how do you create the blue tag "Featured" on the top left of the image. I was trying to create "sold" tag on my used car site but just couldnt get it though i followed the mod. can you help? thanks!

@mr_green @opacity101 Thanks!!

@ongcp

Oh yes, I overlooked the favicon...thanks for reminding!

As for the "Featured" image, you need to open up the loop-ad_listing.php. Right below <div class="post-block">, add these code:

<?php if(is_sticky($post_ID) == true) echo '<span class="featured-ribbon"></span>'; else echo ''; ?>

This checks if the ad is sticky, then add a class "featured-ribbon" for styling.

Then on style.css, add:

/* Add Ribbon to featured ad on ad loop */
.featured-ribbon{
display:block;float:left; height:60px;margin:-18px 0px 0px -18px;padding:0;width:60px;
position:absolute;
background:url("images/featured_ribbon_60.png") no-repeat scroll right top transparent; z-index:999;
}

[IMG][/IMG]featured_ribbon_60.png Upload this image to your images folder too. That's it!

I hope this works for you, as I did it long time back and i have done a lot of modification on my source files in between.
