Signs and Flyers Addon

This addon allows clients on your site to display their listings in a design/format that will print easily on one page from a printer.

Highlights of the Signs and Flyers Feature

  • allows two different formats for the client to choose from
  • the original purpose of the sign was a full page that included the site and listing details that could be posted where others could see
  • The original purpose of the flyer was a full page that included tear off tabs that allow the potential contact the ability to contact the seller.
  • the default designs included should print well within one page
  • you as the admin have control of the design of each template and so can change it to be what you like.
  • The image used in the flyer can be the first image attached to the listing or a choice of other images you set up for that use in the admin tool

Where do you manage the signs and flyers feature in the admin tool?

Within that screenshot:

  1. You see the current choices the client is able to make. Note that these choices appear along with the "lead image" of their listing. The client can choose to use any of the images listed here as well as the image in the first/lead position attached to their listings
  2. This is the form that allows you to add more images to the choices above.

The signs/flyer templates are just like the listing details templates in that you have a template and you can place tags within it to place specific listing data within that template. To place those bits of information you need to know the tag to use to place it. Within this same admin tool page you'll see the tags you can use to place information in either the sign or flyer template. The list of tags looks like:

You will be able to determine the fields used within each form as well as the max dimensions of the images displayed within the signs/flyers using the following admin tools:

PAGES MANAGEMENT > USER MANAGEMENT > USER CURRENT LISTINGS > FLYER FORM PAGE
PAGES MANAGEMENT > USER MANAGEMENT > USER CURRENT LISTINGS > SIGN FORM PAGE
