I am building what I hope
I am building what I hope will become a craigslist clone (drupal 6.9); not quite done, but I think you will get the idea.
http://community.bwv810.com
I think drupal would be best suited for such a site. Others may have different opinions.

Need you !
hello BWV I am french and a new in the drupal communauty. I need exactly what you have donne with your craigslist clone site !!!
Can you detail more what kind of modules did you use and how did you built your views and taxonomy. My probleme is the search engine key word in relation with the terms. I explain (sorry for my english). I want the same type of search as craigslist (a keyword field depanding on what term filter we are in) example. I have 3 vocabulary (for sale, housing, services) then few terms in each vocabulary, my problem is that I don't know how to dispaly a views of all the ads and put at the top of the page the same search system as craigslist. I also built one content type (ads) with the the following field: title, description, image (upload by the user), price, location, contact, post date, author.
Please I really need somme help or tips to started with the best practice.

Hello... The modules I am
Hello... The modules I am using are Views2 and CCK, as well as tabs, pathauto, path redirect and a few others. My taxonomy: each vocabulary (for sale, housing, jobs, etc.) has terms (which you can see on the front page, under the heading) attached to it.
To put the ads on the front page, I use this php snippet (I put the code into a block, then set the filter to php) which will generate a listing of all the associated terms and the number of posts attached to that term.
<?php$vid = 11; /* <---- put correct vocabulary ID here */
$terms = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
print "<div class=\"item-list\">";
print "<ul>";
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
$tcount = taxonomy_term_count_nodes($term->tid);
print "<li>".
l($term->name." (".$tcount.")",'taxonomy/term/'.$term->tid, array('title' => $tcount." posts in ".$term->name)).
"</li>";
} /* end foreach */
print "</ul>";
print "</div>";
?>
And here is the code for the View that creates the form at the top of the page (just import this in Views2):
$view = new view;$view->name = 'search';
$view->description = 'Search form';
$view->tag = '';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(

The first snippet goes into a
The first snippet goes into a block, set to php code.
The second snippet is a view that you can import into Views 2; it will give you the search form that you can find at the top of the website I referenced.

Drupal is up to the task
Drupal can handle just about anything you throw at it out of the box. I'm sure many of you know about this, but for those who don't Lullabot and a few other companies have a series of training sessions called Do it with Drupal that shows how to create certain types of sites using the Drupal CMS. http://www.doitwithdrupal.com/
If you need major customizations, you can always hire a Drupal developer to help you :)

Any chance you can share?
Thank you,

Sure Mark
in views go to edit, in the Fields tab click the plus sign then node post date. Remove the label, check exclude from display, date format make this custom, type in the custom date format box ( l F d ) click update.then on the right hand side of the page you will see (Sort Criteria) click the plus sign. add node post date, click descending, on granularity click seconds, click update and your done.
please post question or comment at http://drupal.org/node/511770

Hi Brad,

Craigslist Clone
Ya
I think the whole World would like to know! I've read alot of post where people are being paid to make a craigslist clone, but the final product looks like a clone of a bad clone. Maybe one of these days i may give it away or sell
it, but it was very easy to do CCK, VIEWS2 AND DRUPAL 6.8.

need more details for the views and the search engine
As regarding myself I don't want a craigslist clone, I mean the look and field can be diferrent I don't care, my probleme is the views module and the search keyword engine. As I said before, I have 3 vocabulary and one content type (ads). I want focus my job on how I can display my results and have on the top of each a search engine and a filter by terms.
I can't find good information about that. Futhermore, my english is bad so to catch all the details of the views 2 configuration (argument and relationship sound hard to understand) anyway I have to wake up early...
if I am not clear sorry about that, I would try.

Did you create the subdomains
Did you create the subdomains manually, or did you use a module (http://drupal.org/project/subdomain) to virtualize/automate the process?
