Classifieds

I'm looking for someone to build the code for a question and answer site for a small community. I'm currently leaning towards implementing Drupal, but open to persuasion for other base architectures.

Site should include functionality of the ask.metafilter site; developer should be familiar (or familiarize him/herself) with its uses and implementation.

Looking for swift turnaround, with attention to detail and someone with an easygoing nature.

Location does not matter.

Please provide a bid for the project, rather than an hourly rate.

I have already completed a detailed site map and description.

Note: This site is not intended to compete with ask.metafilter, but to service a specific community with narrow interests and expertise.

To the person who fixes it I send $100 to you vier paypal.

good luck

Hi,

I am pretty new in Drupal and have a task to build classifieds site. Just getting into understanding into cck, views etc...
First I chose to try some of the frameworks like cake, codeigniter, zend and similar, but they are too much time consuming to develop even simple user anthentication so I went to Drupal.

My requirements are:

MAJOR:
1. Classifieds are in categories (auto, furniture, jobs, pets, technics etc.)
2. Categories can have other sub-categories inside (auto -> vw,ford,ferrari, jobs -> temporary,permanent,part time) and even deeper, without limiting depth.

We are a development shop located downtown Denver.

We are looking for help with building out Drupal sites and theming them. It would be great if we had several people who could do both, but are willing to use services of someone who can only do one or the other.

For a full time position we would like someone who is skilled with php & mysql.

We have several projects ready to start and are looking for employees or contract coders ASAP.

Thanks,
K

I've just updated my PayPalNode module which handles classifieds using per taxonomy term pricing calculations to make charging for a content-type more flexible.

It's available now for 5.x and is live on one site already.

If anybody else would like to test it and give feedback that would be great. I'm not looking for new feature ideas at present.
If everything works, I'd like to get a 1.0 release out.

Find it on the project page.

Ifra, the international technical organization for newspapers, is sponsoring a three-day summit/workshop on citizen media 2-4 July at the Park Royal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. The official description follows:

There are some features that I think would be very useful to a classifieds section. So far, I haven't seen them in a drupal install, but here they are:

image gallery

If you're selling something, perhaps you want to show multiple images of the item you're selling, like on ebay. My classified nodes are done in CCK, and the image field (using image_attach) is just for a single image. If you want to allow more images, I suppose you can create say 5 image fields, but then how should those images be displayed on the node so that it's pretty?

search query with filters

I haven't been using the search engine module on my drupal installations, but in terms of allowing users to generate a list of nodes according to what they're looking for, Views is superior to the search engine.

There are currently a couple of different ways to create classified ads in Drupal. Here they are:

CCK and Views

On the classified section for my site, I'm using CCK, Views and Contemplate (Content Template). CCK allows me to create a node type (classifieds in this case) and determine what fields I want in it. Content Template allows me to display how I want the ad itself to look, and Views allows me to create a list, and have users filter it and find only the listings they want.

Here is what my classifieds page looks like
