Once they select the date, the calendar popup automatically closes and if they click the field, it will re-open to select a new date.

For each ad placed on your Geodesic site, the MetaTag Addon adds the text from the ad description into the Description metatag and the title to the Keyword metatag of each ad page for live ads on your Geodesic site. This provides better indexing and placement of your site on the most popular search engines. See http://www.theaudioxchange.com for an example.

The Interactive Villages File Uploader Addon allows the site admin to provide the ability for members to upload video, document or other file types into their Geodesic ads. Files can be uploaded to both auction or classified ads. So if you want to allow your members to upload videos, PDF, Word, Excel or any other file type for access on their ads, this Addon is for you!

Admin has control over the files extension and MIME type that can be uploaded, via the Addon control panel, as well as the ability to embed videos into the ad display or just force file download to the visitor's desktop. An Optional Field is utilized for use on the client-side Place Ad form to enable the uploading.

The Interactive Villages Geodesic CSS extractor is used to extract the CSS entries that are provided in the Geodesic database. Once you extract the CSS, you can use this data to create a separate, static CSS file to use in conjunction with the geostyl.css file found in your Geodesic website root..

This addon allows you to add Extra Pages to your Geodesic 4.x application, beyond the default 20 pages provided in Pages Management>Pages>Extra Pages. The extra pages are created with arbitrarily high ID's within the database so that it should not cause problems with future upgrades..

The Interactive Villages Dropdown Category Selector will allow sellers to use an AJAX-style dropdown selector to pick the categories for placing an ad in the Place Ad form. Rather than having to "drill down" into multiple subcategories, this tool lets users pick the main category, then a dropdown for subcategories will appear automagically until a terminal category is selected. This addon also includes the ability to limit which categories any User Group can post. Via graphical interface, you can assign one or more user groups to allow posting in specific categories. Once assigned, the other user groups will not be able to post into that category.

The Geodesic Buffer Plus is the both the Email Buffer and the Flood Control Addon bundled into one installation. If you are looking for the ultimate safeguard to protect your members from spammers, this is it! The Geodesic Email Buffer and Flood Control provides Admin ability to stop spammers by quarantine, preview and approve/delete messages sent to sellers via the Geodesic Contact Seller form. The admin can also set the amount of time that a visitor must wait before contacting another seller. This tool also allows the Admin to add the sender's IP to the Ban IP list in the Enterprise version.

The script includes a management page that will:
1. Quarantine all messages sent from the Contact Seller form
2. Allow you to view the message content via a popup window and shows sender IP address, time sent, From address, To address, subject and message
3. Editing tools include Approve, Ban IP, Delete Message
4. Select which messaging system to quarantine: Contact Seller, Tell A Friend.
5. Turn Buffer On/Off, as well as set a time limit that unreviewed messages will be forwarded without review. This feature is useful if you cannot get to the admin page for a specific period of time and don't want to hold-up your seller's inquiries.
6. Set flood control timeouts.

The Geodesic Image Optimization Module provides Admin ability to automatically have images uploaded by sellers be resized 'on the fly' and add a watermark to each image. Controls include destination image size, watermark density, image quality and watermark position. When the seller uploads their images each image will be automatically compressed and watermarked with the image you specify. The advantage for you is that the size of the directory holding the product images being stored on your server will be drastically reduced, and watermarking will protect the images from being linked to other websites since it contains your branding! This helps to keep your server traffic lower.
This addon is compatible with the new flash image upload system provided by Geodesic in version 4.1.
