I know it’s just 4 days since last release.

But today we found a bug, that made display always the mobile theme to the IE browsers….big mistake my apologies.

Also please see that our reaction against a bug (even if it’s not a security one) it’s pretty fast, we want this software to be reliable.

I’ve made just 2 changes more:

V 1.6.2
Bug in themes.php, displayed mobile theme to IE browsers
To install don’t require curl
Compressed pages to browser that support it, using ob_gzhandler

To upgrade from 1.6.1 you can simply dowload 1.6.2 and replace the files themes.php and functions.php from the /includes path

Once more sorry for any inconvenience :(

Release notes: Continue reading ‘Open Classifieds 1.6.1 released’ »

If any of you it’s currently using Dreamhost as Hosting provider, since yesterday they had made some modificataions deprecating “Options +FollowSymlinks”.

This means your site will return an 500 Error.

After talking to the support for more than 1 hour they admitted they have made changes in the policies and now we should use “Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch” instead.

Pretty bad communication from them and making this changes without noticing them.

If you are affected by this issue, please your .htaccess for Open Classifieds should look like this to get to work:

ErrorDocument 404 /
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/(.+) index.php?category=$1
RewriteRule ^offer/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=0
RewriteRule ^need/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=1
RewriteRule ^type/(.+) index.php?type=$1
RewriteRule ^publish-a-new-ad-for-free/ new/index.php
RewriteRule ^contact/ contact/index.php
RewriteRule ^privacy-policy/ privacy/index.php
RewriteRule ^sitemap/ sitemap/index.php
RewriteRule ^advanced-search/ search/index.php
RewriteRule ^map/ map/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ item.php?item=$1&type=$2&category=$3&title=$4
</IfModule>

Remember that needs to be in your language.

This would be fixed for Open Classifieds 1.6.1 that is coming soon with few improvements to make your life easier.

I’m getting pretty annoyed by this hosting, since I use a Privvate Server and this things should never happen (as this other one http://j.mp/d8WVXY).

More or support for Open Classifieds in the forum.

The latest version of Open Classifieds 1.5.4 was released  the 8th of December. Two months later and with more than 11.100 downloads, I’m proud to release 1.6.

I started working on 1.6 at the ends of 2009 and before the release of today we had two release candidates: RC 1, RC 2. Also I installed RC 2 successfully  in a few web sites.

In the upcoming dates we will update all the site FAQs but we already have the forum and the demo running.

What’s new
Just a briefing of what’s new:

• Using Db class phpMyDb
• Prefix for DB tables
• Advanced search
• Settings, everything from config.php in a simple form
• Now templates can have their own index (listing) and template for items
• New themes
• New Languages
• Check more in readme.txt

Download 1.6 now!

How to upgrade from previous versions:

• Make a backup of your files and DB, just in case
• Erase the files form your FTP (NOT the folder /images/)
