Brand new Drupal 7 Craigslist Clone

By carlwenrich on 30 Aug 2011 at 21:43 UTC

The sample site is here.
Project documentation will be added on site as I find time to write it.

Please use the on site "Contact Carl" tab to request a copy of the module.
Yes, it is working on this site (sorry about the last one).

Set the location to "89123" and go to "for sale" > "boats" to see a sample ad.

Select location

jdwalling commented 31 August 2011 at 01:34

The parameter for select location is zip code. It would be great if you could select by city or even better by city area or city neighborhood. Any thoughts on that?

Customizing Sections and Items

aLearner commented 31 August 2011 at 20:25

This is a great module! Nice work! I was fortunate to play around with it yesterday.

I wonder if it would be useful to have a way to customize the sections that are actually displayed. For example, it would be good to be able to turn 'on/off' the 'personals' section or even add/delete a new ones. Further, it would be good to able to turn 'on/off' each of the individual items under a section or even add new ones.

Ad listing maintenance added

You can now renew or delete an ad.

Wow! This is very exciting. Thank you so much!

Search Feature

aLearner commented 1 September 2011 at 01:28

One more nice feature would be to have the option to search through the ads using keywords.

Thanks again for all your effort on this module.

A search feature has been added.

Also, an admin feature to list all ads has been added.

110907 update

carlwenrich commented 7 September 2011 at 18:43

The ad listing page now displays the number of ads that exist for each heading/category for the given location (zip code).

The administrator can rearrange ad headings (with their categories) by going to "Configuration" > "Craigslist clone" > "Ad heading management".

He can rearrange category placement by going to "Structure" > "Taxonomy" > "Categories" > "list terms" and using the tabledrag handles.

Once again, here's the site: http://aswapathy.com/d77cl/

Thanks

This module is awesome! The added features are terrific! Thanks very much!

Flagging objectionable ads

carlwenrich commented 12 September 2011 at 02:21

Ad listings can now be flagged as objectionable or inappropriate. A registered user can flag an ad once and only once.

The administrator can set the flag threshold (number of flags required to trigger an action). He can also select the action to be taken (notify the administrator or remove the ad).

The sample site is here: http://aswapathy.com/d77cl/

Thank You

aLearner commented 15 September 2011 at 21:04

Thank you for posting this update. You've done an amazing job. What is very cool is that the admin has the option of being notified or have the ad removed _automatically_. This is a great feature to an already awesome module! Thank you!

added subscription feature

carlwenrich commented 16 September 2011 at 18:20

An ad channel (zip code - heading - category) subscription feature has been implemented. A registered user can now subscribe to a channel. When someone posts a new ad to that channel an email will be sent alerting the user to the existence of the new ad. He doesn't have to log on every day to check the ads.
Here's the sample site again: http://aswapathy.com/d77cl/
