  7. These are the stats for features used within the listing like number of times a listing has been forwarded using the "tell a friend" feature, number of times the contact seller feature for that listing has been used, the number or times that listing has been viewed and the number of favorite lists that listing is currently on.

There are more explanation for these features below.

Sold?

If you as the admin have filled in the following in the admin tool this column will appear as an option for a classified type listings.

SITE SETUP > BROWSING SETTINGS > "SOLD" ICON URL

With the above configured correctly and the current listing is a classified listing the client will be able to turn on/off the sold sign that you have configured above. The sold sign will appear next to the title of their listing where ever it appears.

You can remove the ability of the seller to mark a classified ad by emptying the above "sold icon url" field.

Note that the classified ad will expire at the predetermined time set at listing placement time. Turning "sold" display on or off doesn't affect the expiration of a classified ad.

You can choose to display listings marked "sold" by filling in the above. You can also as the admin choose to "hide" listings that a client has marked as sold through the following admin tool configuration:

SITE SETUP > BROWSING SETTINGS > HIDE LISTINGS MARKED "SOLD"

While this at first may appear as an expiration of the listing it is not. If you allow the display of the "sold" icon and "hide" is "yes" the client's listing is NOT expired when marked "sold". It simply does not display within category browsing features and modules. The client can mark a listing as "sold" under this configuration to temporarily "hide" a listing and turn the "sold" feature off to have that listing appear again.

Forwards

This shows the number of times that a specific auction or classified ad address has been forwarded by a visitor using the "notify a friend" feature on the listing details page.

Replies

This gives the client the number of times that someone has contacted the seller using the "contact seller" feature through that specific auction or classified ad.

Views

This gives the client the number of times a listings details have been viewed by someone browsing the site. This statistic doesn't have any code attached to it stopping abuse of this statistic. Anyone can "refresh" the listing details page to increase this count.

Renew

This link if available allows the client the ability to renew their listing. Once clicked the client will be put into the renewal process for that specific listing. For classifieds once the renewal process is complete the additional time purchased will be added onto the current expiration time for that listing (if the listing is currently live).

Auctions cannot be renewed until they have expired and all bidding stopped for that auction.

Whether or not this link appears for a classified is controlled by the admin using the following control in the admin tool:

LISTING SETUP > GENERAL SETTNGS > RENEWAL PERIOD

As long as the expiration of the listing falls in the period set by the above admin tool setting this link will appear available for a specific listing.

Edit

This is a link provided so that the owner/seller of a listing can change the details of a listing. This link will appear for the life of a classified listing. This link will appear for auctions only if the conditions set by the following admin tool are met:

LISTING SETUP > GENERAL SETTINGS > ALLOW EDITING OF A LIVE AUCTION

Delete

This link allows the client to remove their currently live listing from the system. This setting will "archive" the listing within the system. The client will also be asked for a "reason for removal" from the system once clicked.
