Readme

The Daily Bruin Classifieds Importer

Import Daily Bruin classified ads exported from AdPro in XML.

Installation

  1. Upload the classifieds folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

Usage

Use the new top-level Classifieds menu edit to individual ads or upload new ones.

Mark ads with the 'Featured' category to display them on the front page.

Changelog

0.7

  • Classification is now saved
  • Unused classifications are deleted

0.6

  • Featured ads are working
  • A few mild bugs fixed

0.5

  • Initial release.

Known Issues

  • Ads seem formatted for line breaks, but none are displayed on the current DB website (probably because they would take too much vertical space). The result is mashed-together words. To remedy this, the plugin adds spaces after each in the XML, but the text lacks punctuation. If possible, it should be made clear in AdPro (?) that no line returns should be used.
