Yes, you can use the popup from a link in a page or post. Here’s the code for that -

< a href = " http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-auctions/auction.php?ID=1&height=710&width=805&modal=true " rel="nofollow" >Link Text

Please remove the spaces.

1. Change the “ID=1″ to your auction ID, it’s available from your Manage area.
2. The class=”thickbox” is important for the auction pop-up to appear.

For the life of me I can’t figure out what you mean by styles not working in a page inclusion. Sorry.

No worries mate…all sorted

The more I see o’ this plugin the more I like it (and the support has been pretty spectacular)!

BTW, I asked a styles question previously (they don’t seem to work on a page inclusion)…if they only work with the pop-up, can I use the pop-up from a link on a page/post?

Thanks again in advance…yer champs…

Hi there,

The next version of the plugin (currently in test) will have an option so you can configure your increments. Can I suggest you revert your code back what it originally was and hold on for the next version.

Configuration options give us the flexibility to roll out new fixes and functionality retaining any configuration changes you make. If you start playing around with the code we won’t be able to support you if/when you break the plugin

In other news…thought I’d sorted out the bidding increments fix, but not quite…think I’m missin’ extra bits o’ math following the

“helper function to calculate increment based on amount…”
Changed value, looked like it worked, but after someone bid, the next amount is + $5 instead o’ + $100

Help?!?

Cheers, Hyder – that worked brilliantly!

Now…not to be a pest, but do ye have a solution to the styles not implementing – tried after the above fix, but still “plain”.
Looks fine, just might be nice to work the colour angle if possible…

I see, that’s actually a CSS issue. Thanks for pointing that out to us.

Here’s the fix:

1. Open up wp_apost.css from the plugin files.
2. The first line has this bit of code in it

.wpauction { background: #fff !important !important;

3. Remove the extra !important, so you should be left with:

.wpauction { background: #fff !important;

That should solve the background issue.

Remember to save the file/re-upload it to the right folder should you need to.

Sorry mate – seems I had the page marked ‘private’ instead of just hiding the link, should work now:

Hi Darryl, this could be a server issue. Your domain URL goes to an error page though.

Just noticed something with styles – although they don’t seem to change at all in either browser, in IE there is a white background for the text – not in Firefox, there is NO background and text is black.

FYI page is presently here…
