Issue Summary
What are the general throughts on an automatic relisting option? For example, place a check box near the BIN option that would allow the item to be automatically relisted, for the same period, if it expires with no bids?
Comments
#1
I'm having a module to address this developed. If anyone has any input, please let me know.
Basically, here's my thoughts:
Auction expires with no bids -> the seller is emailed with a notice, click the link and extend the auction for another 'n' days, or do nothing and the auction will become unpublished in 'X' days.
On top of this, provide a filtered view for 'Recently expired auctions with no bids'.
#2
Did you get this module created? Do you plan to release it to the public at large?
#3
I'm going over a few points with my programmer and this is a point that we're currently discussing... when I have a more concrete idea of if/how it works, I'll post an update.
#4
Have you progress with this module? Do you have a release date for this module?
#5
No progress. After working on the auction module for a while I ended up having a custom system developed in Zend/Dojo.
#6
Thank you for your fast response,
can you please recommend on someone that can take this module and add the Automatic Re-listing feature?
#7
I wish... the programmer that I was using required a lot of time and hand holding. In the end, it just didn't work. The programmer that I'm using now didn't want to pick up the previous code, so we dropped it.
#8
any progress on this new feature?
#9
Not in Drupal, no. I've moved on to another system (not using Drupal for the auction anymore).
#10
I have a module which restarts auctions via a cronjob. I'll release it as a submodule soon.
#11
Now there's a submodule in the Dev-Version, which is relisting auctions via drupal's cron. I recommend to use that version. Please look in the README.txt of the submodule for more info.
