I want to remove (add new ) and (Delete) buttons from the non admin staff.

Hi, If you mean menu items in the top menu, then you can edit them in web/staff/include/df.top.menu.inc.php.

Any news about Quick Feedback available to public?

Sorry, it's still not ready for publishing.

Hi, great script!

I was wondering if it would be easy enough to just list the ads down a page instead of using cells.

I'd like to incorporate it into an existing web page.

Good job! Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

>I was wondering if it would be easy enough to just list the ads down a page instead of using cells.

Probably, it won't take much time to modify it that way. Go ahead and try!

ah, okey now i check it :) but my another question is.. at the step 10? when i forward to the paypal pay site, there show the e-mail adress left top.? can i hide the e-mail adress?

> can i hide the e-mail adress?

The script has no control over it. I think if you have a business type account, you can change it. ( But don't take my word for it. You should ask paypal people )

?.. in the step 8 ? >> First, create a product ID ( or item_number in PayPal terminology ) for your new e-product. << need i make that in the paypal account? where can i make that ID or item_number ... Read More

>where can i make that ID or item_number of the product in Paypal

You just make up one! You don't need to register it to PayPal.

Hello Tom :) Me again... something is not so clear... in the paypal terminology.. is that the Create an Invoice? because i have one done but the status is in Draft? so is that the right way.? Best. ... Read More

>is that the Create an Invoice?

Honestly, I have no idea about this terminology. I don't think there is any connection with Buy Now Button, though.

Hello Tom. Now, fixed that with the mail accounts. ! now my other question is.. can i hide the Checkout Simulator with a .htaccess file so that the Checkout Simulator is close and not open anymore?

If you don't need Checkout simulator, you can remove the Checkout simulator folder. Or you can rename it. The step 9 of the installation guide explains about renaming Checkout simulator.

Thank you VERY much for this. This is wonderful! Keep up the good work!

You are welcome!

Hi Greg,

Your PHP session is not working, so the script can't remember your login status. That's why you got kicked out of the admin panel. Please ask ... Read More

Tom, do you have an email I could possibly talk to you with? I didn't know if the admin one in the script was to you. Thanks!

Hi, Please post your questions here, so people can share it. Thanks!

Hi Tom, can you point me to the files to move the scroll bar on the search results to the top rather than the bottom of the results. Thank you

Hi, The script doesn't concern it. Browsers display the scroll bar on the bottom automatically whenever it's needed.

Thank you Tom! That did work however, whenever they click on "edit" for example it takes them to a white blank page. Is there a way for it to take them to the error message for example: "Unauthorized ... Read More
