Classifieds Publish Block Options

Moderate Ads – if you turn on this option then the Ads will not be published instantly but rather administrator will have to approve them first.

Skip Preview – when turned on the users will not go to the preview page but rather will be sent straight to the publication step.

Preselect Category – this option requires the Custom Fields extension to be installed, if you turn it on then users will need to select a category first and only then the Ad Publication Form (this feature is useful if you want each category to have different fields in the publication form).
