Hi Steve,

I found this app looking for a basic way to hold auctions for our church. I installed Webauctions as is, set it up and ran it… looks ok and I think it will do what I want for now.

I did see that there’s a much newer Xataface, although I’ve not had time yet to really explore using it as an app tool but after I set up Webauction and entered some cats and an item… I saw the reCaptcha post and decided to go ahead and upgrade to the latest Xataface (uploading the contents to the “dataface” directory in Webauction). I did notice a few differences but most prominently … one could not register… error in PermissionTools.php (line 172).

Having to get something up quickly, I decided to copy the old “dataface” directory back… and then the site didn’t work. So I just reinstalled the whole thing and am starting over… But…

It looks like not a lot of activity on this app lately so I would like your best advise on using Webauctions going forward and upgrading to the latest Xataface…

Thanks so much,

Not sure why you got the permissions tool error. Probably best to just stick with default install unless you are prepared to do a bit of mucking around.
