I think your script is great, I just wish it had the ability and security for paid adverts.

When I come for vacations I will review all of your ideas.

About the mods, there’s the Mod’s forum for it, is not enough, no? I will check that later as well.

Thanks guys.

I don’t think you are understanding what we are trying to get across.

The concept of the ‘Professional Version’ is the main issue at topic here. I would recommend NOT having a ‘Professional Version’ unless you are going to have two versions, as in a full version with all features that is supported versus a less featured free version with no support.

Though from what you have said you DO NOT want TWO versions, which is great and easier for you to maintain. But labelling the solution as a ‘Professional Version’ does give that impression and is what is causing the confusion.

I recommend that you drop the ‘Professional Version’ label. Then have two support options, that being;

1st.
No Cost: Free limited user to user support only via the OC forums, no support ticket system and no detailed documentation other than basic how to install.

2nd.
6 Month or Annual subscription (don’t do 1 month or 3 months) to access all sections of the OC forums and INCLUDES ticketed support that is given priority and also INCLUDES full documentation on how best to utilise OC. You can also offer as an extra small fee for an installation service.

So in the end you end up with ‘Open Classifieds v1.7.x’ and that is it, no pro version, no free version just OC 1.7.x

If you need more than user to user support then pay for a subscription, if you need detailed documentation then pay for a subscription…. if you want to show your support for OC then pay for a subscription.

Is that clearer?

Oh and another suggestion for those that ‘want’ to ‘sell’ mods and/or themes maybe have a section that enables that with a minimum of 25% of all sales going to OC to assist in its continued development of the mods and themes as well as OC itself.

I guess I kind of look at these from the point of view of what works well elsewhere. Joomla and the Community Builder projects are good examples. Joomla has a directory for add-ons etc where developers of add-ons can advertise their add-ons etc. Community Builder has a subscription system that works well (I have been a subscribing member for 3 years myself, and only once have I needed the documentation etc, I just choose to support it)

we actually have something like that in the services page. I will create as you say support for 1 month / 3 months / 6 month / 1 year

Then if the PRO support does’t work I will erase it, no problem

I’m making more clear what is the PRO version.

Let’s see what happens with my proposal if not I will need to find another way of course.

Now holidays time ;)
