Welcome to part 3 ( Part 1 & Part 2 ) of our series for 3rd party developers.
 
Let's recap the interesting stuff:
A new extension was added to the core app to allow 3rd party apps to extend the achievements.
Content Items can be marked as anonymous
We have cleaned up our code and have removed almost all the deprecated methods and variables!
 
One if the most concerning changes for IN_DEV users will probably be our new ACP warning once the CSRF Key is being exposed in the ACP

 
That's nothing to worry about, it's only returned with enabled IN_DEV mode, but please take it serious and try to avoid any redirect to any URL containing the CSRF key and containing user generated content.

Thanks for the other answers above.
This blue bar still appears even in default. 😅
Edit: I figured it out. It was displaying because 'Displays guidelines in this category?' was checked, but there wasn't any information in it. All good!

Yes, select a package is mandatory.
You can't do that at the moment. Usually you set a very high value, like 365 days.
If you want you can try to suggest a new feature here:
https://github.com/netwaretcs/Classifieds/issues
It seems a theme issue, can you confirm the same glitch with the default theme?

I would recommend studying all of the legalese that you must agree to follow on eBay and other established marketplaces as a seller and purchaser as well as any requirements your payment processor may require of you setting up and operating an online marketplace.
This should provide a sense of the complexity and legal and financial risks you will take on if you choose to proceed.
You will also need to look at how your business is structured to insulate you both legally and financially from things that might go awry for your business. The business type you choose to operate under will impact what paperwork is required as well as how you file taxes.
There are expenses and lots of paperwork required setting up and operating a non-sole proprietorship business and setting up a bank account.
Not only will you have to engage a law firm, but you also will need advice from a tax accountant as to what applicable local, state, and federal paperwork you need to submit throughout the year and how to figure out how much your tax burden will be based on your anticipated sales volume.
Unless your sales volume is "extremely" robust the expenses of setting up and running a marketplace as described above will cost more than you take in and take lots of your time managing it. 
You might consider setting up a dummy site as a thought experiment and ask your members to submit items for purchase and see what items are bought by your members during a set time using virtual currency.
You will need to figure out how to deal with shipping goods from one member to another and how shipping costs are addressed as well as tracking of packages, damaged goods, or failure to deliver by shipper or failure of seller to ship items "as described".
At the end you could determine what demand there really is for the items posted for sale and any possible profit you might attain after initial and ongoing expenses (don't forget to factor in the cost of failed transactions) determined from your research and consultations with a lawyer and accountant.
Your payment processor should be able to provide you with an approximate failed transaction rate from their other marketplace accounts as well as how many they will tolerate before limiting or closing your account. The amount of failed transactions could increase the cost charged decreasing your potential profit margin. 
There is also the possibility that you might not have immediate access to all the money owed to you or they might hold a certain amount aside to address any transaction abnormalities.  You should setup a sufficiently funded reserve account to cover your ongoing expenses in the event of payment delays.
Implementing a marketplace will initiate a more robust review process of "you" and your business to determine if you have the proper process and procedures in place as well as required written guidelines as well as the overall feel of the site to determine if you are a worthy of credit increases, decreases or outright cancelation of your account. As such it's important to weigh the value of adding additional product offerings against the possibility of losing access to your payment processor entirely or paying much higher fees.
The Fed has recently telegraphed the need for increasing interest rates to stave off inflation and the credit market has been lowering credit limits and making it harder to qualify and/or keep various credit-based products.
Over the course of the next year, I would recommend everyone to be especially mindful of their personal and business credit and take additional steps to minimize "any" adverse problems logged with your payment processor to ensure the longevity and profitability of your site.
Most payment processors place limits on how much they will process in any given period. Those may increase in time but isn't a given. It's good to ask what the criteria is to advance to a dollar amount that will work for your needs. If the requirements are too stringent for your site or will take too long it's best to know upfront.
If you figure you could reach profitability if you submitted 20k a month to the processor and you were limited to 10k than the additional 10k worth of transactions would be denied and your account wouldn't reset until the first of the next month.
How much additional stuff do members have to offer up for sale in the months and years ahead that other members would be willing to purchase? What's the potential profit to you? People have a finite amount of stuff to sell.  Eventually the marketplace offerings will dwindle to next to nothing as everyone will have sold off their good stuff and it will take time before they have something good again to sell or you will have to continuously recruit "lots" of new members with stuff to sell. 
Will these new members with "stuff" be the kind of members that fit in well with your community?  Will switching from being a place to socialize to a place for doing business be in the best interest of your site in the long term?  Tough questions need to be asked of yourself and your community to figure out if this is a good path to explore and something the "community" and not "you" want.
You need to look at how you can extract the transaction data provided utilizing this solution in a format your accountant will require to fill out the obligatory paper trail of running a business and ensure everyone is paid all that is due in a timely fashion.
There is a possibility that you might be missing key data points, or it will need to be structured in an entirely different fashion. This should be addressed sooner rather than later to minimize missteps in your implementation which could cost you countless wasted hours and expense.
 

Due to the multiple requests I receive, many users send comments and pm's for the same thing, I can't manage everything efficiently. So from now support topic or private messages will only be used for information requests.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I don't have an ETA, I will try to release everything this month, but I can't guarantee anything. There is also 4.6 around the corner and I need to review a lot of apps.

Few months have passed since our last post here, so let's get ready to rumble🙂
Supported PHP & MySQL Versions:
The PHP min version was increased to PHP 7.2 in IPS 4.6, this means that your marketplace submissions are required to work with this version, but keep in mind that few clients are going to use php8, so I would really suggest to try to get your code working with both versions, which means that you'll need to implement some changes to avoid some BC breaks in PHP8.
Here's a great list https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration80.incompatible.php
Security Improvements:
I have mentioned this change in another topic today, so let's recap it here too:)
We have a new IN_DEV code check similar to the slash check, which will inform you about any outputs containing the CSRF key in the URL.
This is a bad practice allowing attackers and 3rd parties to obtain the users CSRF key, so please try avoid this at any cost!
We're not going to reject MP submissions because of this, but please try to avoid this as much as much as possible.
Withdrawal Requests:
Please keep in mind that you're permitted to have only one payout request per week;) Since this didn't work out that great and to avoid any drama about canceled requests, this is going to be handled now automatically. As long as there's an open request, you won't be able to submit any new requests! But don't worry, you'll still be able to cancel it and create a new request!

Not yet, You will be informed as soon as there is any news.

So in this scenario, it'd be a per Topic setting.
In that Topic setting, on the initial post of the topic (the topic starter), there'd a button that'd say "add authors." Once added, those members would be able to edit the post. Is that right? 
@InvisionHQ Whatcha think? :] 
Love this btw

The whole IPB package (including IP.Commerce) is around $105US / 6mo..  Adding all of my software together I am probably around $350-400 a year.  This whole IPB platform is the best deal I've seen for what you get and less time needed to manage it.
Classifieds was one of the best add-ons for my site, hands down.  InvisionHQ is a great programmer.
