You may offer free listings to every visitor to your directory. Listings may all be free. Listings can also be paid. If you will be receiving payment, you first decide if the payment will be "elective" or "required".

Disable Listing Types

Currency Symbol

The currency symbol is the dollar character "$" by default. This may be changed to your currency character, for example the Euro or pound, by inserting the symbol in util.php like this:

	define("CURRENCYSYMBOL", "$"); // replace the dollar character with your symbol

Set Listing Duration

The default durations are 1 year, 6 months and 3 months.

If you wish to customize the duration offered the process is:

1. SET UP THE OPTIONS
a) modify the html page duration.php with radio buttons, one selection per month desired, 
   and call the month selected as '$monthsGoodFor'
b) include duration.php in checkout.php, for example in the 'Listing Type' column

2. PROCESS THE SELECTION
c) add your own script code section in buy.php to:
   i) initialize or capture the new $monthsGoodFor variable
   ii) assign a price for the $monthsGoodFor selected
   iii) update the $chargeTotal 

   Note: see buy.php: switch($item)
