Module Options

The following options can be configured:
- The initial fee to post an ad.
- Whether renewals are allowed and the fee to renew an ad (which can be different than the initial posting fee.)
- The tax rate to be used (if general sales tax is enabled.)
- Which financial account should be used for classified ad revenue. If QuickBooks®is enabled, you can also specify the QuickBooks®Item name.
- For how many days ads will be active.
- How many days before a reminder email is sent to members regarding an expiring ad. If you do not wish to send reminder emails, set the days to "0".
- Do ads require approval before becoming active on the website.
- Can members edit the text of an ad after it is has been approved.
- The maximum number of renewals allowed.
- The maximum number of active ads allowed per member (enter "0" if there is no limit).
- Add New members to "Ads Must Be Approved" list - this option automatically requires approval for ads submitted by members who joined within the last three months. This option also allows you to add members to the list "permanently". See Members Requiring Ad Approvals.
- The contact person will receive notifications that ads require review, including ads that have been reported. This person will need to make a Classified Ads module coordinator so that he or she can access these admin screens.
- CC Email for ad deletions - enter the email address for the person who should be notified when an ad is deleted.
- User response option - either allow the ad poster to determine their preferred contact method or use a response form. If Response Form is selected, the poster will receive an email when a user responds to an ad. Ad posters must have an email address listed in their member profile.
Financial Accounts can only be used to direct payments to multiple bank accounts if you are a ClubExpress Premium Payments user.
