Okay, I'm in the process of creating a local classified ad / community website. I'm stumped on pretty much just this one thing here..
Is there a way to allow the node author to "mark" their node as something specific? In this case, if the author of a classified node has sold the item, they could click a "Mark as sold" link, which would then give me the ability to specify if the ad is still available or not to the front end visitor?
Thanks

You could write a very simple module with a form_alter hook in it (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_form_alter/6). You alter the form so the CCK checkbox 'sold' is hidden on the node/add page.
An even easier, but less secure method would of course be to hide the checkbox using CSS.

I think the flag module does pretty much what you want.

With views, you can then build lists of sold or "for selling" items

Just a quick follow up for anyone who may need this feature in the future. I did use the Flag module to do this, and a plethora of other things. The flag module is a great contribution.
