Internal staff buy and sell board!

Thanks :)

If someone uses it then that's more than enough! It's also nice to have another simple little MVC app to show potential employers.

I'll make the files available for download once it's complete.
 
You should really set a site up and do a donate button. No point making something so good like that and not allow donations. Fairly sure you will do good out of it as these days simple is better.

You should design it around the Metro / Windows 8 tiles type would be great :D
 
Yeh looks good at the moment! You could include a wanted section if you want.

Any chance you can change it so it doesn't reference 'auctions' as such, just so its 'for sale'.

The ability to accept other files than jpg would be a bonus.
Not too fussed about having more than one photo.

Looks good though mate :) Thanks!

Depends if you want one mate :) If you want it then I'll add it, it's no problem.

Heh I thought this might come up. I couldn't think of a decent noun to describe what it actually is. I admit that "Auction" is kinda confusing as it suggests a expiration date with bids and so on but I thought "sale" was a bit iffy as "Create a sale" and so on doesn't sound right to me. If you're happy with "sale" then I can change that.

sniffy, does it have a control panel for admin? Might be worth having it so that you could disable/enable different areas (wanted/want) e.t.c?

It doesn't right now but I could easily add that if it would be helpful. I get the impression that rossi just wants to set it up then leave it though.

I think maybe something like 'List an Item'? might be better than using the word auction?!

I would like to be able to remove things off there that have been on a while and possibly forgotten about!

You can leave off the wanted section!

Why not have items auto-expire after a certain period of time has elapsed?

Self cleaning if you will, and when selling an item the seller could either be notified it will expire in 30 days, or be able to select from a limited set of choices for how long they wanted to sell it for.

Yeah that's much better.

I agree that some form of clean-up is required although I think Eulogy's suggestion is the better one. Perhaps I could let the user specify duration and also provide you with a little control panel to manage current items for sale?

Yeh that is an excellent idea! Letting them set up an expiry date is perfect, the control panels a good idea too!
 
Hey rossi,

Check the updates here.

Users can now specify a duration for their listing in 24 hour increments. You can also clean-up all listings on the site through the "manage site" bit. Do you want to be able to filter that list somehow (e.g. only show unsold items)? You need to login as "admin" with a password of "password" to access it. The next iteration will allow you to specify a username and stuff for the admin account when you initially setup the site. Do you want the ability to assign the admin role to other users?

Next iteration will probably include:

- User control panel to view their currently listed/sold/expired items
- Support for multiple image formats
- Admin creation form on setup

Anything else you'd like to see added to the list?

Everything looks excellent so far. Can this be customised in the way of adding our company logo on etc?

Hey Rossi. Hadn't seen you on OcUK for a while and this kinda slipped my mind. I'm working full-time now so gonna have to work on this during the weekend if I find time.

I'll add the ability to upload a banner and set stuff like company name through the "mange site" page. Anything else mate?

Thanks for the testing :)
