Classifieds

We have an exciting project to create a GeoIP-enabled directory of therapists for our autism therapy site. Even if you're not interested in doing the work, I'd love the expertise of people in the Business Directory, Classifieds, and Newspapers groups on whether we're taking a smart approach or not.

Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.

Hello,

http://live.koots.ca/

We are looking for a qualified Drupal programmer / designer to finish our classified site for early October. The site is close to completion with polishing, some additions, and a few more pages to be created although these can be done post launch.

The skills required are CSS and HTML, PHP, jquery, drupal templating and module api's including gmaps.

INVOLVEMENT

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.

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.

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.

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.
