Hey all,
I've been using Pages for a very long time, and about 5 years ago I began using it for a homebrewed classifieds section. Up until now, it's worked out really well for us, but I'm preparing to upgrade to 4.5.x and a key part of this isn't compatible.
In addition to having classifieds set up in Pages, I have been using the Automation Rules app to handle the following:
members at a free group level must pay a fee per ad that they want to post
members at a paid subscription group level get free access to post unlimited ads
automatically set an expiration date based on the publish date
automatic cleanup of expired or hidden ads
automatically hide ads marked sold
There are probably a few minor things that I'm missing, but that's most of what is being handled automatically. It has worked really well, I haven't had to touch it. But with the upgrade to 4.5, I'm going to lose all of that because Automation Rules isn't compatible.
Any ideas for how I can get some of this automation back? Having to handle all of this manually was really painful, which was what made me adopt the Rules app to begin with.
