I'm new to drupal and this Ad module so this may be a dumb question .... But i dont see a link anywhere for users (with a Role permissioned to Create Ads) to create Ads. ? I assume there should be a link exposed by having them login, going to My Account and selecting the Ads tab. Is this not where they should go to create and view their ads? There is actually no way even for Administrators when viewing their Account/profile to create new Ads. Actually if they have one (created using the create Content admin links) existing while in their account profile, they can click on that and THEN it shows the link to create new Ads. But again, even this is just for Administrators.

Please enlighten me. And i just have the base Classified Ads module. Nothing else at this point (e.g. CCK, wysiwyg editors, etc. which i do plan to install).

Would appreciate the help since i have many chomping at the bit to use this at http://www.metroreservoiranglers.com
no link for this anywhere, content can only be added by Administrators using the standard Add Content admin link

This is by design (but maybe design is not so good): there are links to add new ads on all ad list pages for users with the appropriate permission. Do you see these ?

Since this is a design choice (not having the add new ad on the profile page), it won't change for 7.x-3.0, but could be part of 7.x-3.1 if design is modified.

Hi fgm,

I'd hate to open a closed thread but I have some of the same questions and I am unclear about your answers.

1) You mention that there are "Links to Add New Ads on all the Ad List pages". Where are these pages to begin with? I read the documentation and searched through the module issue forum but can't really locate this.

2) I'm sure it will be more clear once I see the Ad List pages but are Members of my site going to be going to: /node/add/classified to add a classified? There is way too much detail that they don't need to see (Publishing options and other third-party modules tab options). Is there a simpler form they can use to add Classifieds?

3) Again, I assume this will all become clear once I see the Ad List page but I was kind of expecting to see a disabled default View(s) for the Classified module. Should I be creating my own view from scratch to list all the classified ads? If so, should the View be of type/show "Content"?

Thank you for your time.

Well, I can sort of answer my own questions. In case this helps anyone that stumbles on this issue:

1) The page that is being referred to in this thread is: /classified

2) Using /node/add/classified is as far as I can tell the only form page to add an Ad. Fortunately, Members of my site don't see as much as an Administrator account which is good. Still need to figure out how to theme this page.

3) I guess you can create a View just like any other view if /classified is not sufficient.
