Is there a way of implementing a "personals" section on a site? Or classified ads? Has any work been done on modules to do these things?

Take a look at this:

http://drupal.org/node/60530

If that doesn't fit the bill, try searching Drupal for "classified" - it turns up a variety of things that might be helpful.

I checked out http://www.activefarming.com/classifieds and very much like the layout. Great job!

I also checked out http://drupal.org/node/60530 but it didn't explain to me whether or not I would be able to charge folks that post ads to my site. Can I? Not being able to charge is not a showstopper because I haven't decided whether or not I would charge users for ads or make ad postings free, so I'm just wanting to know.

Finally, I'm probably going to be using the Organic Groups module. Will the "classifieds" functionality described above work with individual groups created using the organic.module?

I looked at http://drupal.org/node/58263 but am not sure about it because it appears to force a minimum payment and, furthermore, it appears to be a revenue sharing model with Junxter.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, the solution given here (over a year ago! :) ) doesn't work now: It requires Flexinode, which doesn't work with Drupal 5.2. Any other ideas?

It has been a touchy subject and it doesn't seem to be a straightforward thing (from what I understand)

The closest I came to some kind of solution is this:

If anyone else has some more tips on how to get this done, please advise.

Thanks

I tried the recipe and got a rough and ready prototype up in not long at all.

It looks a good basis for a classifieds site of any kind.

Excellent. Thanks for the help.
