* Ad ID Number now shows in an ad
* Price now shows in an ad

Loving this so far

That's a feature. Just select the checkbox list as the field type

When I select checkbox Im only seeing the radio tick boxes on the new add screen

I noticed there has been some confusion to the "rating" in the forum posts (under the post count) for some users... I think it's a good idea to rename it to "Commerce Rating" or something to that effect to avoid confusion between it and user ratings (which is enabled on some boards, but not mine)

It gives you the ability to select multiple.

In case the lack of sleep is affecting my ability to show what i mean, here is a example of what i mean - http://www.scism.sbu.ac.uk/tkteach/cgiteach/selbox.html

That's the same as a drop down, except a different look. Is that what you meant?

Before I hack this... Is there going to be a new main page to this that shows the last X items listed in all categories for the main page of this (ideally where X is defined in the Admin CP)?

I am starting the process of trying to figure the code out to do it myself so I figured if you were going to have this I might not invest the time...

The latest items are already listed on the mainpage. What exactly do you mean?

[Quarterbore]

What I am trying to do is make a home page that will show the latest classifieds in all categories on the home page. I have created a sample (please don't laugh at my "paint skills" ) image that is attached.

I retained the stats of the original but I would like navigation on right or left (I showed it on the left) that allows my members to quickly go to the area they are interested in. I only think we need one "Add Advertisement Button" as when you post the advertisement you tell the script which directory it goes into. You can also see that I added an "Advanced Search" on the left... That will allow members to pick values from my custom fields (state, country, new-used, etc) and would then be used in the search criteria to limit results returned.

On the right, this is just a list of the last X classifieds... The Description text would link to the advertisement, category would link to the category the ad is from... It would be nice to be able to add more of the "custom" fields in this as well as perhaps location or ??? is important for some types of advertisements?

I have already started working on this but I am not that good at figuring out the mysql parts of code and the search strings in your little script has me quite confused..

I'll pay $100 for a page that looks like this when done (assuming you could help with the advanced seach as well...)

Oh yea, what gives with the negative times? I guess there is no "kill" for expired classifieds yet?

The negative times shows when the time is up. When the time is up i believe it's only viewable to admins anyways. Also, i will be able to make your page look like that. Contact me via PM for more info.
