v2.4

• only one installation file for all versions of Joomla (1.5, 1.6 and 1.7)
• major revision to expiration and renewal process

1. 1. expired ads are no longer deleted when expiring, merely become unpublishe
   2. new configuration parameter to set purge days after which all expired ads and their images will be deleted, to save space on your host site
   3. when a logged in user displays My Ads, all of their existing ads, expired or not, will display and they will each have an edit and delete link. If the ad is up for renewal there will also be a renewal link
   4. a user can edit their ad but not alter the initially set category nor can they add new images, but can change or delete existing images
   5. when an ad is set for renewal (reached the expiration date notification) a user can renew the ad and change the category, images can be changed, deleted or added, if it is a paid category or images they will be required to submit payment via PayPal

• four new configuration parameters to dynamically alter View All Ads and My Ads listing column widths and heights, to eliminate the need to change CSS when upgrades happen
• configuration parameters for the required/optional/error colors can now accept web safe color names (Red, Blue, etc.) as well as the hexadecimal web safe color values (#FF00CC)
• under the PayPal tab are 2 new parameters:

1. 1. flag indicating whether or not payment confirmation emails are to be sent, this is when payments have been confirmed from PayPal to Classifieds Redux, for both normal payments but especially when subscription payments are automatically applied (PayPal doesnt notify otherwise)
   2. for subscription/recurring payments if the subscription payments are not to be determined by the category (setting the term to days/weeks/months/years) then the new term cost should also be entered
