Sorry for the delay. Finally got around to committing it to Drupal CVS and creating a project page:

You can post this project on some outsource forum. Many developers from Indian and Chinese can do it and not expensive.

no one able to do that? :(

I plan on making a simple classifieds module this summer, perhaps some people could help me with it or vice-versa. I have some basics coded already and a few plans.

vikasbucha’s picture

I need one badly enough. The closest I could get is the directory module.

If you know of a project already going on pls let me know.

I'm ready to start work on a complete classifieds ad module. Something on the lines of

I'll add to this and say that if anyone if looking for a little earner I would be interesed in a Classified Ads module too! We have a war chest that I'm sure we could crack open! :) Sounds like we could pool resources and keep a developer fed for while... I wish I had the time myself...

terjeset’s picture

have a look at http://drupal.org/node/23670
you will find a similar project.

And maybe I'm into one myself. More to be said here later.

johnnybejohnny’s picture

it's not a module, so you can't use it in connection with drupal. You can find it at http://classifieds.phpoutsourcing.com/index.php. Lucky you, it's also open source, so maybe someone is able to port it over, lol. Hope it helps.

Seems like nobody wants our money ;)
C'mon people.

I am currently making a very basic classifieds module, only yet supporting paying by PayPal.

harrial’s picture

When you are done with your module, let me know! I think this sounds better than the existing module.

pamphile’s picture

Do we really need a classified module ? Maybe...

I am willing to fund this if all the best features of http://craigslist or http://usfreeads.com are added

### Especially anonymous email forwarding for advertisers ####

I am willing to contribute $200 if the same reverse bounty method is used as what we see here "Reverse bounty: securesite.module" http://drupal.org/node/20301 .

We could also enjoy classifed like functionality with the Flexinode. Some customization is required. Such as
Ecommerce module subscriptions for paying members
A new flexinode form field that lets anyone add a "Buy now !" link to paypal or another payment system

I would also contribute to the reverse bounty with a similar quantity.

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.

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...

reggie75’s picture

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

llizards’s picture

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

pamphile’s picture

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...

I'm interested

platypus media’s picture

Check out Fleximax, this might be able to help.

http://drupal.org/node/30376

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.

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.

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
...

Thanks!

StevenSokulski’s picture

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.

sangamreddi’s picture

Almost over, only theming left for the ads, by the end of tomorrow i'll show the demo. Thanks for your responses.

johnchalekson’s picture

The only thing i have done was do a sample one using CCK and Views, and Taxonomy.
Its very low level, but I would be very interested in a module that can do this more efficiently.

Hi Sunny,

Your work is looking really good! Will this module, when finished, work with the organic groups module so that each group could list their own classifieds independent of other groups?

I havent tested it, its just like a anotehr node type like story or page with more fields and permissions on posting. If other content type modules work with og, this should also work.

Hi Sunny,

Do you have any ida when your classifieds module will be uploaded? Will it be compatible with drupal 4.6.8?

Thanks

pamphile’s picture

Did the client like it ?

mwu’s picture

does it integrate with the ecommerce module to buy credits to post?

Walt Esquivel’s picture

... http://groups.drupal.org/node/785

It discusses the Job Search, User Points, and E-Commerce modules which might help you. I don't see why you couldn't use the User Points and E-Commerce modules to charge in a similar way that I thought about using the Job Search module.

Please post back here as to whether or not you were able to solve your request and what you used to solve it, i.e., which modules you used and whether or not any custom code was needed. By doing so, others can learn from your experience and it will be much appreciated.

Thank you!

I do also like http://www.usfreeads.com , it has a simple look to it. So does http://craigslist I know there are a lot of options out there. 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.
Anyway, that all for now.

pamphile’s picture

I could not wait soe I've turned 01Classifieds.com into a Craigslist powered by Drupal.

It uses custom code, no additional modules.

Hope you guys like it. Can someone post real ads as a test ? http://01classifieds.com

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

Walt Esquivel’s picture

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!

Thank you for the kind words guys.

I can't spill all the beans on the total business model, but it's a work in progress that's constantly changing :)

Here is an example ad: http://01classifieds.com/node/116

Any plans to make this available?

Yes I'll make it available. I am selling the pre-configured database and my own custom files on http://pre-configured.com.

I believe the lm_paypal.module released a short while ago adds classifieds functionality for those interested.

Very nice indeed.
Can we have instructions?
Which modules did you use, and how?
Is it possible to add geo tagging by clicking on a map?
Like e.g. in this demo

if you click on the view map tab.
