Issue Summary
Hey Miles,
You fixed my first problem by adding the check box to not include the full nodes in the initial taxonomy list. I am now trying to figure out how to strip out the "last updated" time and link (also the tables, etc). I would like the initial view into the module to only be the taxonomy terms, plain and simple. THen as they click on the terms, they get the single line titles (that click through to the nodes) under that term. I think the other way that this could be presented efficiently and easy to use is to provide a list of all nodes (single line titles), with links to the nodes, and a separate block with the taxonomy terms. that way the user could drill down just by clicking navigation/taxonomy in the block.
Is this already possible? I think I could build it with views, but would like to help further enable the module.
Thanks.
Dave

Can someone at least tell me where the theming is done in the script? I can go in and strip out the extra stuff.

OK ... pretty sure I found this code.
It is in the ed_classified_themefuncs.inc file..

@Dave:
Yep, it's in that file in function theme_ed_classified_category_list_row($cat, $row_count)
The reason I haven't replied yet is I can't think of the best way to proceed. It comes down to either crafting a View perhaps or getting into the theming. In another issue (#529524: Make Classified Ad module fully themable) I propose going from the function theming into true themable templates which would let you override the display completely. Otherwise, I can't think of a clean way to do this without messing with the code continually.
Any thoughts welcome.
Cheers,
Miles

Hey Miles
Seriously, why do you need to theme this? The theme lays all around this content.
If you HAD to theme the text, just parse the current theme and let the admin select the css based on what is already available.
Maybe let the admin select from a couple of different list styles, like the checkbox you put in on earlier request.
The options I would like to have:
*present only taxonomy untill at end node, with the ability to add teaser or full node down the breadcrumb.
With this, admins could create their own view with headers and footer and such.. I am not an expert programmer btw, so I may not really understand what is involved or needed, just looking at it from the outside.

@dsellers154: Well, your way is simpler to implement - just a few check boxes. In which case, I'll be able to get some time to do that sooner than later. I'll play around with something in the -dev branch in the next few days and you can try it out.
Cheers,
Miles

This is fixed in 6.x-3.x, which has completely overhauled this, and offers 3 possible renderings for the ads list:
- just the title, much like 6.x-2.x with the checkbox disabled
- title and body, much like 6.x-2.x with the checkbox enabled
- a new "node" mode, which is customizable as a CCK build mode, to allow tailoring the position and display of node parts, and custom theming.
