Featured Classified

Bumping version: features will only be considered for the latest and next versions (was for 5.x-1.5-3).

I would say just give them the sticky bit and build a view with a block display showing only ads with that bit.

On *-3.x you could even use the Context integration to choose which category to display based on the current category.

Hello fgm, can you elaborate more on your answer please?
For example, when the user is posting the ad , user will be asked through check box field whether he/she needs to promote the ad. If yes, then user will pay and ad will be promoted in a featured area on top, and will also be added among other ads in the body.
If no , it will only be added like other ads in the body.

Thank you,

You just described how to do it: expose the "sticky" field using a hook_form_alter(), Then create a view showing only those ads having the sticky bit.

Or, possibly better, add a field just for this mechanism to the classified node type, and create the view filtering by that field.

Thank you fgm,

This mechanism is to separate the view between checked ads and non-checked.

NOW... how do you separate them for lm_paypal?

Thanks

I do not know what lm_paypal needs: you should probably ask there: moving to their issue queue so they can make sense of the question (and possibly return it here afterwards, or answer there.

added not about how it was originally about ed_classified, then about lm_paypal.
