This module adds a scrolling/non-scrolling 'Featured Items' section to your website for your Classified ADs component. If a user wishes to be included in the Featured AD section they can automatically post a payment via Paypal for the term of their choosing (15 days/$5, 30 days/$10, 60 days/$15, Etc.). The terms and amounts can be set in the Admin back end.

The features of this module are:
You can create up to 5 different term/payment options (1 month -> $20, 3 months -> $30 and so on).
You can choose whether to have your ads scrolling or non-scrolling.
Works with Paypal.
Allows admin to add and delete featured items from front end.
It will only allow the option to Feature an ad if one is registered on the site and have at least 1 ad in place.

The payment processing allows multiple ads to be paid for at one time (shopping cart style).
Allow for no payments, which means that the users must request to have their ADs featured.
Added AD id's to listings for better identification by the users.
You can have both horizontal and vertical displays on your website.
You can set the color and size of the text, background color and border color of the featured ads via back end parameters.
Parameters to control which ads manager pages can display the Featured Ads.

This works with Classifieds Redux (a greatly enhanced classifieds Ads component) for Joomla 1.5/1.6/1.7 and the original Ads Manager, the upgraded Ads Manager 2.6 for native Joomla 1.5/1.6/1.7 by Thomas Papin.

Vers. 3.8
Improved PayPal payment processing.
Revised display to allow Featured ads to display first as either latest additions first or randomly.
