Premium listings idea	Can't Post

Hi Andy,

I noticed that you're working on a new plugin (Buy PriorityListings), and I've a few ideas that you might want to consider to use on this system

Right now i'm using a priority listings on my website, basically have 5 leveles and i'm thinking to create a system or something in order to make the process painless and automatically for me and my users.

Premium listings on my site are listed on different colors and some of them with a small logo as well. You can see a sample of what i'm doing here

ok, so for the premium listings I've a field called: Premium with some values

Code

<%if Premium >= 301%> 
 <div id="<%ID%>" class="linklisting_top"> 
 
<%elseif Premium >= 201 and Premium <= 300%> 
 <div id="<%ID%>" class="linklisting_second"> 
 
<%elseif Premium >= 101 and Premium <= 200%> 
 <div id="<%ID%>" class="linklisting_plata"> 
 
<%elseif Premium >= 6 and Premium <= 100%> 
 <div id="<%ID%>" class="linklisting"> 
 
<%elseif Premium > 0 and Premium <= 5%> 
 <div id="<%ID%>" class="linklisting_free"> 
 
<%endif%>

So, what I think it will be a great addition to links and/por your plugin it will be to have a system to let the users choose which package they want, as an example...

The user clicks on add/suggest a site, then the system will show him the 5 packages you have so they can choose from, once the user selects the package, they might have a few payment options (monthly, once every 6 months, yearly, etc.), then the user will need to make the payment (Paypal, credit card using https and or bank deposit), once we receive the payment the user will give us the proper site info.

In my case, those premium packages also offers on case 1 and 2 a one page ad which that the user its able to make modifications as need it. Right now i'm using a different tool in order to give the user a chance to make those text/images modifications.

I'll love to have a plugin in order to make this process easily for me and my customers :)

What do you think? Is that possible to make? Does it make sense fto be used or implemented on your plugin? is there a way to build a plugin for me with this specs?

Please let me know, I'll really like to have something like this.

Thanks in advance,

Jesus

Hi,

You can actually do this in PriorityListingPro, which can be found ghere: http://www.ultranerds.com/...rityListingPro_L199/

Its a pretty automated system, with the ability to manually add listings yourself (i.e as priority ones, without having to go through the payment process).

Hi Andy thanks for your answer,

One question is that plugin the same as BuyPriorityListing?

As I do have it on my plugin package that one so, probably I've it and I didnt know I can use it like this until know :)

Or if there's a difference between both, can you please let me know what's the difference?

Hi,

The main differences between BuyPriorityListing and PriorityListingPro are that PriorityListingPro has these extra features:

1) The ability to choose up to 5 different prices, depending on the position (i.e the top spot could be set to $20/month, while the 5th spot could be set to $5/month).
2) Ability to "delete" a priority listing via the admin interface, with ease (in case you need to remove a listing, and re-create it with a different category/settings etc)

I think that's about it (its just generally a more complicated plugin, thus the price difference / the reason its in the ULTRA Package PRO deal, and not just the ULTRA Package :))

Hope that helps.
