Errors in Marketplace 2.0 Beta 3

I have just installed Marketplace 2.0 beta 3 and have good and bad news.

Good News:
It installed cleanly with no issues. I was able to create the categories and manually recreate the ads from our current site from the backend with no problem.

I was also able to create a menu item page with Marketplace.

Now the bad news:
1. When I created the page on the site, I only get a list of the categories and each category does not link into a list of ads.
2. When I create a page listed as index, there is no list of ads that I entered.
3. I am also seeing the messages listed in an earlier post and will try applying the fix in the PHP.ini file as listed.

Suggestions:
1. If there will not be a direct upgrade from a Joomla 1.0x to 1.5 with Marketplace, then an indirect upgrade of the existing ads would be very helpful. Either through a table restore/upgrade process, or by a read of the Joomla 1.0x site into the 1.5 site.
2. Since there looks to be a category list that should be linked to the ads within the categories, a last 5 posted or 1 - 10 random ads module would be great.

System:
Windows 2008 R2
XAMPP 1.6.7
MySQL 5.0.51b
PHP 5.2.6

Re: Errors in Marketplace 2.0 Beta 3

Hi,


1. When I created the page on the site, I only get a list of the categories and each category does not link into a list of ads.

Did you create the categories like that (see screenshot attached)?



2. When I create a page listed as index, there is no list of ads that I entered.

Is the category published?


Regards

Achim

Yes, I created categories and published them. I also created entries for the categories. Please refer to the attached screenshots.

Re: Errors in Marketplace 2.0 Beta 3

Hi,

please have a look at my screenshot again.


There are 2 top categories (Motors and General).

These 2 top categories have subcategories which contain the entries.

The top categories act like containers to seperate groups of categories (has_entries=0 in old Marketplace).


Regards

Achim

Re: Errors in Marketplace 2.0 Beta 3

Ok, that fixed that. Something I noticed is that the ...[more] is not a link to the ad. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature request.

Also, is there a way in this forum to notify when someone responds to a post? I may be blind, but I didn't see somewhere to enable this.
