We are looking for beta-testers. If you are interested, please message my personal account on drupal.org.

Thank you so much.

Great job. Thus the module for Drupal 4.6 or 4.7?

I am interested in beta testing.

What's the "catch?"

Your website looks pretty new. It looks like you made a classified scripts and ported it to modules for different cms's.

How "drupal" is it? Does it make drupal nodes? Does it use the drupal user database etc?

More information would be greatly appreciated.

hadishon:

The Junxter classified ads drupal module supports a public interface and an administrative interface.

The entire public side (what the non-admin visitors see) is a full-featured classified ads section, with various functions: browse / search / post / upload photos, etc. It is entirely embedded inside a single drupal node: ?q=classifieds
The public side is not tied into the drupal user database.

The admin interface enables has "settings" hook in drupal. Presently it only serves to activate the classified ads service via a Junxter API token.

The classified ads section that is tied to that API token (one section one token) is customized and administered only on the Junxter.com publisher account website (for the time being). In the future, a lot of that will also be off-loaded into the Drupal admin side, allowing the admin to manage the classified ads backend without leaving their drupal site.

Thanks for the reply.

Explain more on what your module does. What's with the 50% revenue sharing? I want to offer classifieds to my users as a tool for them, I don't want to charge them. Also, why should we pay you 50% when we can create our own classifieds using flexinodes and the views module for free?

It doesn't sound like it is intregated with drupal at all. It just appears on a drupal site.

If I understand you correctly, we can't control the classifieds from drupal, users would have to re-register to use the classifieds, and we can't use other modules with the classified script.

If this is true, I don't see how this can benifit my drupal user base at the moment. Maybe after some refining it can.

Is the script open source? Can I change it and customize it?

also, it is about as "drupal" as .. say the Flickr or Adsense module. they are similar conceptually... as third party web service integration modules. yes?

I realize this forum is fairly dead, but just to clarify. The Flickr and Adsense modules add functionality for established web services that are unparalleled and simply could not be replaced within the Drupal codebase. The same is hardly true for classified ads.

Native module - drupal-specific.

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

coupet: ah... the business side ...

To answer your question, our current implementation

NETWORK DEFAULT:
not charge for posting, post ads for free, 30 days. Poster is required to give valid email address for the ad to go live (click verification link). Once live, the publisher network captures response to the ad listing. Ad poster buys pack of response tokens ($10 for 100 token, cheaper in bulk) and spends the token against each response. Each response is previewed with the responder's email domain and ip address (geo-located to city/isp info). Once token is spent against a response, it is fully revealed to the ad poster.

The responder purchase fee is split among (1) the network (2) the original posting side and the (3) responder site.

PER PUBLISHER PRICING

The network default sets a base floor of pricing. Each publisher site can set its own pricing plan, like you mentioned: if a publisher site is popular enough, charge up-front for posting, graded by duration and secondary feature (bolding, placement, etc.) Fee is also split between the network, posting party, and responder party.

Hello,

I just visited the link in your original post, http://publisher.junxter.com/demo/drupal/?q=classifieds, and there is nothing there. It's a blank Drupal page. Perhaps you're in the process of reloading classifieds related files to your server?

At any rate, it sounds like if I want to use your classifieds module, I would actually need to enter into some type of business relationship / contract / agreement / understanding with Junxter, correct? It sounds like if I were to use your module, I would owe Junxter fees based on user activity at my site (seller responses and the like), correct? I took a look at Junxter and I now see what you're talking about with regard to its revenue sharing model.

Furthermore, you wrote, "The public side is not tied into the drupal user database." This means anyone registered at my site would have to register again in some way with Junxter, correct?

Are you the Junxter creator? As of today, you, the Junxter admin, and natas201 are the only three registered users. Please elaborate a bit further, and if you have a stake in Junxter, that disclosure would be appreciated.

Although http://drupal.org/node/62802#comment-118913 seems to be a better option thus far, I look forward to seeing something at http://publisher.junxter.com/demo/drupal/?q=classifieds.

Thank you.
