I’m upgrading the classified ads software to the latest version. I will have to re-modify the new version with some of the features and functions that I added before.

Installing Advanced Statistics Module

I’m trying to install the advanced statistics module again after yesterday’s fiasco. I found some bugs in the revisions I made the first time around, so I’m hopeful I’ll be successful this time around

Universal Currency Converter added
