paid classified ads?

so, you want members to be able to click "buy your own ads" and to run thir campaign on your web site, right?

That was tedious and it almost worked....

I copied every template and php file that was related to events and then renamed it as described in my original post. I then opened every single tpl and php file and did a search for "event" and then copied & pasted the code then renamed the "event" part of the code to "advert" except in the all the event tpl & php files. In the new advert tpl & php files, I renamed "event" as "advert". Then I had a dig around in myphpadmin on my localhost and copied the event tables to make the new advert tables. After much swearing, I actually found it easier to edit the backed up database.sql in notepad++ and then restore it with the lines of new code to add the fields.

So far, so good. Well not quite. The advert page does not load correctly and is missing fields and and does not save when you try create a new advert. I don't think the error is tpl related, but I could be wrong.

In the includes/cache folder, there are several files with silly looooong names eg:
vld_events_fields_english_3631c88aeb563f16220f86f2b580aa78.php
What is the significance of these files and how is the long name generated?

Anyone with an idea of what else I could have missed, please share you ideas?

Thanks

Thanks gugu.

Where do I check what the cache file names are?
