Completed Order - User Changes Category - Not Good was created by kgeary

I'm getting close to making Adsmanager work great.
I have different prices for each category, some are $10 and some are $30.
After the user has posted an AD and paid for it (yay!), they can go into the AD, from their CB Profile page, and they can UPDATE the AD.
Change the text, post new images or delete images.
All good.
BUT!!
They can also change the category under which they published.
This is not good. They can change to a more expensive category without paying for it.
I have restricted each AD to only 1 category.
How can I prevent the user from changing that category once they have paid and published?

Also, when they UPDATE an existing ad the page title says "Write a New Classified AD" Post AD.
That's confusing, since they are not writing a new ad, they have already paid and published.

I could hide the category field on the UPDATE page, but I'm not sure which file to change since it says "Write a New Class AD".....

Thanks,
Kathy

Hello,

To do this, you need to customise the code.
In 'components/com_adsmanager/views/edit/tmpl/default.php' or 'templates/your_template/html/com_adsmanager/edit/default.php' if you are using an override, you can see at the line ~111 to ~122 the function that display the category, to hide it when the ad is updated, you can do something like that.

<?php
if($this->isUpdateMode == 1) {
echo "<input type='hidden' id='category' name='category' value='$this->catid' />";
} else {
//copy-paste the code that display the category list.
}
?>

You can do something similar for the title of the page.

Best regards
