I am trying to build a classifieds section for a website I am developing. I am a Drupal Newbie.

I decided to do this thing in drupal but I am totally confused by the taxonomy feature, especially in integrating it with the ed_classified module.

I have a few questions:

- how do you integrate the several categories you have on you site with the ed_classifieds module?
-how did you arrange for your "category" list to use radio buttons in stead of the standard drop down list?
-how do you list your sections/categories on your home page?

Help is pretty much appreciated

Patrick

Sorry I Didn't Respond Sooner

zucker - November 1, 2007 - 14:57

I hadn't been over here at drupal.org for quite sometime.

- how do you integrate the several categories you have on you site with the ed_classifieds module?
The categories are all taxonomy terms. Just go to Administer, Content Management, Categories. Create a vocabulary, then choose the content type 'Classified Ad' under 'Types' within the setup of the vocabulary. Then just add terms to your vocabulary. For instance at Zuckerslist.com, I have a vocabulary called 'Categories', and the terms within it are 'Arts and Crafts', 'Furniture', etc. I believe that the vocabulary 'Classified Ads' is automatically created when you install the Classified Ads module. Within that vocabulary, I have the terms 'For Sale', 'For Rent', 'Wanted', etc.

-how did you arrange for your "category" list to use radio buttons in stead of the standard drop down list?
Install the module 'options widgets' for CCK. And of course you need to install CCK also.

-how do you list your sections/categories on your home page?
I found the code for the front page here at Drupal.org. I'll copy it here since I don't remember where I found it. I'll try to give credit to the person once I find the link again....

Install the panels module. I'm using a 3 column panel.

At the top, I'm simply displaying the 'Latest Ads' block, which comes with the Classified Ads module.

To the left (By Category):

<?php
  $vid = 5; /* <---- put correct vocabulary ID here */
  $items = array();
  $terms = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
  foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
    $count = taxonomy_term_count_nodes($term->tid);
    if ($count) { /* don't show terms with 0 count */
      $items[] = l($term->name,'taxonomy/term/'.$term->tid)." (".$count.")  ".$term->description;
    }
  } /* end foreach */
  print theme('item_list', $items);
?>

In the middle (By City):

<?php
  $vid = 4; /* <---- put correct vocabulary ID here */
  $items = array();
  $terms = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
  foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
    $count = taxonomy_term_count_nodes($term->tid);
    if ($count) { /* don't show terms with 0 count */
      $items[] = l($term->name,'taxonomy/term/'.$term->tid)." (".$count.")  ".$term->description;
    }
  } /* end foreach */
  print theme('item_list', $items);
?>

To the right (By State):

<?php
  $vid = 3; /* <---- put correct vocabulary ID here */
  $items = array();
  $terms = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
  foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
    $count = taxonomy_term_count_nodes($term->tid);
    if ($count) { /* don't show terms with 0 count */
      $items[] = l($term->name,'taxonomy/term/'.$term->tid)." (".$count.")  ".$term->description;
    }
  } /* end foreach */
  print theme('item_list', $items);
?>

Of course, your "$vid" will be the vocabulary ID on your site. They will be different than mine. You can see the code that is providing the counts toward the bottom.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you very much!!

pjek - November 3, 2007 - 01:08

Of course I have been trying a few things while I was awaiting your answer, :), and I figured out it had to have something do do with taxonomies and CCK and panels, so I was making progress there, but your answer put all the pieces together. Thank you very much for taking your time in being so helpful. Especially with the code!!

sciman - August 20, 2005 - 15:52

I think it would be great to allow members of a community to post items of interest to be categoriezed for response. I'm thinking of classified type postings, personals, volunteer opportunities seeking response, etc. I would love to figure out how to run a simple user-submits-ad site along the lines of http://craigslist or http://www.loquo.com/, and would be happy to contribute along with mpamphile. I don't need the e-commerce components so long as bidders or interested parties could make email contact with submitters. Posts would need to drop off on some sort of schedule. Any tips or developments in this or the related threads would be very helpful.

Changpeng Zhao

A starting point

jsloan - June 7, 2005 - 13:43

I want to implement a classified section for our Intranet. I am looking at the AdEx DTD for a data model and exchange standard. A simple example of using AdEx is the implementation used by AdConnect

I guess the big decision is how to extend 'node' to support the data model. The taxonomy can handle the categories and the built in RSS and XML-RPC support can handle the data exchage. The E-Commerce modules can enable the purchasing functions.

Should it be through Flexinode?

All the pieces are already there...

instead of flexinode try CCK

reggie75 - July 12, 2006 - 10:15

Try the Content Construction Kit instead of Flexinode.
I read elsewhere that CCK is the more efficient way to create custom nodes.

Is anyone working on this...

llizards - November 9, 2005 - 13:04

Anyone still working on a classifieds module? I think this is the one major thing that drupal is lacking.

nope...Flexinode could fill

pamphile - November 10, 2005 - 05:10

nope...

Flexinode could fill the need partially.

I think Dublin Drupaller was working on a extension of Flexinode that allowed theming. That might interest you.

Lately, I've been thinking of a possible Post-Flexinode module that could creat totally different applications based on flexinode data. It would assign functions and actions to be performed on flexinode data types. It would work by piping data from flexinode data types into custom developed functions or modules, intead of just displaying data.

Just an idea...

Otherwise, I'm looking into what would be needed for this module. I've been real busy with work and grad school lately, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to work on it, but it doesn't seem TOO difficult. It's the hooks into drupal and cron that are the tough parts.

If any of you need something a bit faster, doing it in a series of pages with external style sheets would be the quick and dirty way, but it will work. If someone wants the quick and dirty way, before I can write a module, contact me, and I'm sure we can work something out.

A better option?

Walt Esquivel - July 20, 2006 - 23:31

Your link leads to http://drupal.org/node/58263 which appears to be a revenue sharing model with Junxter.

However, doesn't http://drupal.org/node/62802#comment-118913 seem like a better option? No revenue sharing and pure Drupal. :)

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that may have perhaps tried either or both classifieds models, the Junxter one and the pure Drupal one. A comparison would be nice, although thus far I believe the pure Drupal one is the better solution, particularly if you aren't looking to charge folks for posting ads. It appears Junxter requires a $0.10 minimum per ad reply.

working on simple classifieds module

sangamreddi - June 5, 2006 - 07:16

I am working on simple classifieds module. basic module has been built.
Overview of the module: users with necessary permission can submit ads. basically the add's are of 4 types,
1. Free
2. Bold listing
3. Featured Listing and
4. Highlighted listing

Members need to purchase credits to post the bold, featured and highligthed listings. a mail will be sent to the owner of the add before the ad expires. Working for a client, hopefully in a day or 2 i'll show the demo.

Hello - I am keen to try your module and maybe I can help in testing it. Can you outline your development timescale for this? If this is soon then I will use yours instead of the combination of views and flexinode as I have seen around here.
I would also like to know if you will have several categories such as:
1. Offers (people having something to sell)
1.1. Computers
1.2. TV
1.3. Books
2. Demand (people looking for something to buy)
1.1 Computers
1.2 TV

I'm very intrigued by this

StevenSokulski - June 8, 2006 - 21:58

I'm very intrigued by this feature and am in the earliest dev stages of a site that could make use of this functionality. We could actually include your module as part of our beta program to give it some mileage and report back to you on how it goes.

Please let me know how the module is coming along and if you are all interested in some testing. Be glad to help out in return for rights to use the module on one of my client's sites.

If you are going with the snazzier design layout (http://www.theadpage.com), be sure that it will actually help bring customers. Sometimes the nicer layouts may detract from the actual classifieds page.

mwu - September 14, 2006 - 22:03

wow, at first i didn't think it's drupal

Your 01Classifieds.com site looks great!

Walt Esquivel - September 15, 2006 - 00:30

Very nice clean appearance.

Just curious, but what's your business model? That is, do you expect to do like craigslist.org and simply charge (eventually) on some of the posts? Or do you expect to make revenues off of advertising such as with Google ads? Or both? The reason I ask is that sometimes I see a challenge so similar to, for example, the eBay model and I have to stop and ask myself (because I'm anal and have an MBA!), "How is this going to work, how is this business going to make money, and what exactly is the business model?"

I would encourage you to get as many of your friends, coworkers, colleagues, family to "seed" your listings because what you need are lots of people posting to it so that it becomes "valuable" in terms of being able to find things of value (for those looking to buy, for example) as well as offer things of value (for those looking to sell, for example).

I wish you great success! Again, your site looks really nice and clean. Great job!
