Quote:Simply put, X-Plaza is a powerful MyBB plugin, adding a money/shop system to your MyBB boards.
X-Plaza is a very complex MyBB plugin (if not THE most complex MyBB plugin), with a plethora of features. Here's a "quick" summary:

    * Powerful shop system with many features - just to name some:
          o Obviously, the ability to change the cost of items, including global rates for them, and the ability to set different premium rates for each usergroup.
          o Ability to set a stock limit for items.
          o Ability to define restocking amounts and periods for items.
          o Ability to set purchase limits for items, including time periods.
          o Ability to set icons for each of your items and categories to help give them a special touch .
          o Ability to set and define custom formatting for each of your categories and items.
          o Ability to set usergroup permissions on different categories, and hide certain items - plenty of flexibility in controlling permissions.
          o Ability to hide individual items from the stats page.
          o Number of purchases made by a user, and for items are recorded.
          o Full logging of all purchases.
          o Fully customize your money system - from options, such as the name of the currency, to the number of decimal places used.
          o Includes a stats page, and a user purchase history page, in addition to the plaza.
    * Extensible through modules - The MyPlaza framework is an excellent platform on which modules can be built upon. This, being one of the key features of MyPlaza is a large discussion topic on its own. See modules for more information.
    * Enhnaced by JavaScript and AJAX - Allowing many actions to be performed without requiring full page loads. This reduces server load, reduces bandwidth consumption & loading times, and looks much nicer. Users with Javascript disabled are also catered for.
    * Automatic Code Editing - ...is a powerful system which allows MyPlaza to deliver many features, such as automatic updating and fully automated module installation. Modified files are also automatically backed up for your peace of mind.
    * Powerful administration options - Mass move/handle items, log viewing and deleting, setting users' money plus a mass money reset features... there's too much to mention.
    * MyBB Integration - MyPlaza was designed to be integrated with MyBB (and MyBB alone). The integration is "seamless", using MyBB's theme, language and plugin systems and taking advantage of the many features offered by MyBB.
    * Easy to manage - With most actions performable on one page, quick links sprinkled around the AdminCP and a streamlined interface, administering MyPlaza is easy.
    * Secure - all queries pass to the database are escaped and permissions and post_codes are checked for all actions. This ensures your board is safe from attacks such as CSRF or request forging.
    * Speed - MyPlaza employs many optimization techniques to ensure your board is not bogged down by slow code. With many optimized queries, use of dynamic code loading, caching and the use of shutdown multi-query optimized functions, you can be sure that MyPlaza will have a minimal effect on your server performance.
    * Organization - A large focus has been placed on making MyPlaza very user friendly - to users and admins alike. The front-end is easy to understand and navigate. The AdminCP has been designed with minimal clutter in the CP menu, and large amounts of settings are grouped.
    * Easy Installation - MyPlaza requires no code modifications to be performed, meaning that you just simply upload and activate. Many checks are performed to ensure that it's a painless process.
    * Innovative - MyPlaza has many innovative features not seen in any other MyBB plugin, making MyPlaza very unique.
    * Many other features - Attention to detail was a key thought during the development phase, and many undocumented features are present to make X-Plaza just that every bit better.

Submission date: --- [when this thread is posted - automatically insert the date and time using mybb's system]]
I gave a sample for creating this feature in 2 columns.
Example:
Package: ----- [Salary details] [textarea]
Package: is the first column as heading, and second column is [textarea] which is either textarea/textbox/dropdownbox
----- [Salary details] this is just for reference on what will be inputed by users in textarea/textbox/dropdownbox
[textbox - Nil, N/A by default] is where the field Nil, N/A must be in the textbox by default, so that we can enter if available or ignore that field if not.

please remove the postbit block which will be visible after posting, so that the whole thread is assigned for the above fields only, and we can just insert the thread author, time as the last fields.

limit the height of the textarea(150/250px with vertical scrolling bar) to restrict it from making the post long. width must be auto, so that it will fit to the width of the screen/site's body width.

If possible, label creation taken from the topics automatically will be good as like
1) Application date: [ending date] sortable from descending to ascending,
2) Exam date: sortable from descending to ascending,
3) Company: sortable by company name alphabetically
4) Rating: sortable by company rating and user rating separetly in highest to lowest.
