Hi Buck

I have installed business directory 6.  All seems to be working well, thanks to the install instructions now I am trying to refine according to the clients requirements.

In the business directory there is a field labelled invoice.  What exactly is the purpose of this field.  Let me put it another way - in my client old system from the user profile the client could view their invoice is this possible with business directory.

Is it possible that when a user adds an entry to the business directory an email is sent to the administrators email address.  I'm sure that this is possible and I just haven't seen where to do it.

I only have one category at presdent is it ok to delete category 2 to 6?

Thanks for your help

Sharon

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for your questions.

The invoice field is currently only a reference that the admin can add to the admin panel to help reference a subscription invoice number.

It has been placed in the form for possible future integration to an invoice system.

The administrator or a designated security role should receive an email notification that a listing was added.

A second email is configured on the form to notify a subscriber when a listing has been approved.

This email is sent to the primary email that was entered on the listing.

If you are not receiving these emails, please refer to the form setup instructions as to configuring the email address and the SMTP settings.

You can view this online at:

The two form parameters that need to be matched to your hosted service are

sEmail and smtpServ

These current values are defaulted to the portal admin email address and the smtp server equivalent to mail.yourdomain.com

As an example these could be changed to sharon@yourdomain.com and if you were using PowerDNN.com as your web hosting provider you would use 127.0.0.1 as the smtpServ parameter

In regards to the categories. If you are using the single category form you can remove the item lines for 2 thru 6 on the form.

Included in the documentation folder of the purchased package, that you unzipped to your local computer, is a Special_Instructions.txt file that covers categories and sub category preparation in more detail.

Online documentation is available at:

We will soon be releasing video screencasts to accompany the Learning Lab lessons.

Best regards,

Thanks Buck for your swift and very helpful response.
