  • V2.0.4 Bid Refresh Javascript based Current Bid on screen values refresh!
• Auctions Mail - (Soft dependency) Basic mail notifications to bidders/owner. Using hook_auctions_core_workflow_action() and hook_auctions_core_new_bid() as introduced by Auctions Core.
• Auctions Commerce - (optional. You can process winners in otherways!) Adds an Commerce Order Item to Users cart when auction closes. Email notification to winner/owner.

General Notes:

• auctions installs Auction node type. goto /node/add/auction to add new Auction Item. then full node view will have Bidders form displayed below content.
• auctions If Comments are added to this content type the Bidders form will appear above Comments (field_comments). As this module essentially uses a hook_node_view() to add in components — it is not in general control of Display Layout.
• auctions Auction content type can have other fields added (ie: image gallery) as you need/wish to do.
• auction_mail be sure to configure "Auction HTML" text filter access and weight and interactions with other content types with this new filter type now added to your project. Note: Only basic html is supported by this module. Additional internal coding will prevent images regardless of changes you make to this filter setting.
• auction_mail be sure to set email from/reply for on settings page. It should be you're true domain.
• auctions_commerce Install assumes Default Store exists, payment gateways (etc)...
• auctions_commerce Uninstall does not remove Order Item type (this may have consequences). Orphaned Records.

Contrib (Composer) Requirements
