Classified Ads Module

Last modified: September 2, 2009 - 04:06

This module creates a drop-in, plug-and-play textual classified ad node type (ed_classified).

The Drupal Classified Ads module provides a quick and easy way to host textual classified ads on your Drupal 5.x or Drupal 6.x sites. If you run multiple sites, or don't want to be bothered piecing together a classified ads type, this may be just the ticket.

Project page and official releases: http://drupal.org/project/ed_classified

Paid classified ads may be implemented by installing the lm_paypal module and limiting ed_classified node creation to paying users. Other schemes may work as well, but the ed_classified module does not handle paid ad creation for you - this is beyond the scope of the module at present, although lm_paypal integration is planned for a future release.

Photo ads may be implemented using image.module, upload_image, and other image modules. I use upload.module, image.module and upload_image combined on my sites, and that combination works pretty well. If you have upload.module, the ed_classified module will allow you to override the attachment form description text on classified nodes, supplying administrator-supplied text - this helps users understand what to do in order to create a photo ad.

Theming

Copying node.tpl.php to node-ed_classified.tpl.php in your theme directory will allow you to tailor the ed_classified body output.
