Hi,

I'm new to Drupal and I would like to know if I can build a website like "emacchinari.com" where the user can modify listings / ads by simply inserting a password.

If yes, what version I should use?

Thank you!

You could do that in Drupal, and no reason not to use Drupal 7, which will have a longer life before it is obsolete.

BUT a classified ad site often has a range of functions, such as notifications to users and time limits, which could be done more easily using custom software. Building this site in Drupal will be moderately complicated, so it would be a good idea to spend time learning Drupal and the Views module before you start (probably a few weeks learning if you are a programmer, and a few months if you are not).

I can't see why that site couldn't be done with Drupal. All it would take would be a custom content type with what ever CCK fields you need ie images, map, address and etc...

You would use Views to design the item/catalog display and say Scheduler to unpublish the nodes and there should be other modules to auto delete them.

I would go with Drupal 7. Yes 6 might have more modules but once you use 7 you wont want to go back.
