Top  Previous  Next

Click on the "Add listings" link in the "Listings Data Management" section of the menu. The page will display the list of available input forms, any of which can be used to create a listing. Choose a desired form by clicking its name in the list. The form is displayed on the page. Fill out the form with the listings data. After filling the form, an administrator has two options. One option is to submit the form to the database and go to the blank form for adding new listing. Another option is to submit the form and continue to edit the new added listing. Later it is implemented to allow adding images to the gallery of the listing. Images cannot be added to the listing gallery until the listing itself is in the database. Going to edit form right after the listing was added allows creating the image gallery instantly after the listing is entered. Press either "Save & Add New" or "Save" button. If any of the mandatory fields was not filled, the form will come back with the same data, requesting to fill all the required fields. In case when all required fields are filled, the listing will be added to the database. The following page will display either blank form or form with the same data depending on the on the form pressed.
