Ad Forms RSads! uses an unique and powerful way of adding classified ads. Since most of the classified ads require custom parameters for each category, we thought that you might want to create custom forms for inserting ads for each category/group of categories you have in your website. RSads! uses the core RSform! code for it's form management. RSform! is the best form management tool for Joomla and used in more that 5.000 websites worldwide. In RSads! we limited the fields to 30. You can create forms for inserting ads, with custom fields. Then, you can assign these forms to the categories in your website. When a user wants to post an ad to a specific category, the proper form will load, and he will be able to choose from the selectboxes you defined, respect validation rules like number, alphanumeric, alpha, email, upload specific files like pdfs, jpg only, and so on. Another great feature is the power of fully customizing the e-mails that are sent out when someone inserts a new ad. You can choose to send this e-mail to the user as a notification that the ad has been received, and it will be reviewed & published soon, also, you can send it to the editors. And if you have assigned an editor / category, you can send the e-mail only to the editor responsable for the category selected by the user. More on Ad Form Emails here . Here you can see all your forms. Click on the form name to edit it, or if you want to duplicate a form, select it and click on Copy. Each form should have an unique form name.
When you want to create a new Form, just click on New in the forms manager screen. Before being able to add fields to your form, you have to set up 2 parameters. Type a title for the form, then a name and click on Apply. A new button called "New Field" will appear. You can read more about the parameters you can set up in a form in the Edit Ad Form section.
You can edit the forms by clicking on the form's title in the Forms Manager screen. When editing your form, you can change all it's parameters, add / remove / publish / unpublish your fields. You can also use the Copy button to duplicate one or more fields to the same or to other forms.
With the Copy Ad Forms function you can duplicate the forms you have created. After selecting
the Forms that you want to duplicate, click on Copy. You will see a new form in the forms manager screen.
With Remove Ad Forms you can delete the forms. Select the forms that
you want to delete and click on Remove. A confirmation message will
pop. Deleted forms cannot be restored. Click on the small Publish icon on each form row, or select multiple ad forms and click on the Publish button. Once a form is unpublished, all the categories that use the unpublished form to insert ads will redirect the user to the "You cannot post an ad to this category" message. Click on the small Unpublish icon on each form row, or select multiple forms and click on the Unpublish button.
Once a form is unpublished, all the categories that use the
unpublished form to insert ads will redirect the user to the "You
cannot post an ad to this category" message.
