Directorist Mark as Sold GPL v2.2

Directorist Mark as Sold GPL Overview

The Directorist Mark as Sold extension is designed to improve user experience by allowing listing owners to mark items as “Sold” or “Negotiating” directly from their dashboard. This helps avoid situations where users might inquire about items that are no longer available, streamlining communication and ensuring that visitors only engage with listings that are still for sale.

Key Features

1. Mark Items as Sold

• Sold Badge Display: Listing owners can mark an item as “Sold” from the dashboard, and the system will automatically display a “Sold” badge on the listing. This clearly informs visitors that the item is no longer available, preventing unnecessary inquiries.
• Customizable Badge Text: The text on the “Sold” badge can be customized to suit the site’s needs, offering flexibility in how the information is displayed.

2. Mark Items as Negotiating

• Negotiation Badge: Listing owners can mark an item as “Negotiating” when an agreement is in progress. This can be done either automatically upon contact form submission or manually from the dashboard.
• Clear Communication: The “Negotiating” badge signals to other potential buyers that the item is in the negotiation phase, reducing confusion and managing expectations.

3. Badge Display Options

• Flexible Badge Display: Owners can choose where the “Sold” badge appears:
  • On the author profile page only.
  • On the dashboard page only.
  • On both the author profile page and the all listings page.

4. Improved User Experience

• Avoid Unwanted Communication: By marking items as “Sold” or “Negotiating,” the extension prevents unnecessary inquiries, saving time for both the listing owner and potential buyers.
