FAQ

I subscribed to the Marketplace plan. How do I get the extension now?
Just go to the Downloads Area. You should see the category "Commercial Joomla! Extensions" now.
That's where you can download Marketplace 2.

What about RSS Feeds?
RSS Feeds will come in the next version (Marketplace 2.1)

Are paid ads included in Marketplace 2.0?
No, paid ads are currently not included but there are plans to bring them back in one of the later versions.

Can unregistered users (guests) write ads?
No, they can't. Marketplace only allows registered (and logged in) users to write ads.

Why does Marketplace 2 have less features than Marketplace 1.4.6?
Marketplace 2.0 has been rewritten from scratch to support the Joomla! 1.5 MVC style. Many features from 1.4.6 will be added to 2.x in the next versions.
