Thread: Custom Fields, Future Feature Roadmap

Re: Custom Fields, Future Feature Roadmap

Great work. Any ETA set for 2.9 Im launching a site and am just waiting so that I can allow users to edit ads and the MYads feature before I release the site. Im planning to run two classi press installations on the same blog.

Re: Custom Fields, Future Feature Roadmap

Assuming beta testing goes well, it should be released by mid-May.

Looking at 2.9 it seems to have everything I want to start my local real estate classified ads that will be used by landlords, renters and realtors. The site will be free to use and with some paid ads similar to Craigslist. It looks like this question has been asked several times. But Im not a coder and have no knowledge of code. Is there a plugin available for classipress so I can use it solely as a real esate classified ads site locally with a more ADVANCED search? [/b]I need drop downs for towns, city, number of BRs,baths, rents/sales etc. A advance search field like on craigslist or realtor.com etc. Do I have to get someone to modify this script to get that kind of advanced search field ? The simple search field does not filter enough for me. What can I do streamline classipress for a focused website for real estate only?

Please advise before I buy. Thank you.

Re: Custom Fields, Future Feature Roadmap

For your requirements, you will have to get someone to do custom work. ClassiPress is more designed for a general CP ad engine but can do much more if you are familiar with php and programming.

There is a WP Custom Fields Search plugin of Don Benjamin

Thanks Michayu.
you are referring to the screen shot below.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp- ... reenshots/

do you think this plug in can be further customized to really focus the search on specifics?
like # of BRS, baths etc, town , city , price?
Does anyone have any recomendations for a PHP programmer that could write a advanced search feature plug in that could meet my real esate classified Ads website?

Re: Custom Fields, Future Feature Roadmap

I've been using that WP custom field search plugin.

I added a "region" dropdown custom field in the post form.

And I swapped the CP search box for the plugin search form (it provides a line of php that you can add anywhere in the theme).

Now visitors can cross search by keyword/category/region.

You could just as well add more custom fields and with the corresponding search options.

Adding custom fields tut:

It wasn't too difficult for me, and I don't really understand php yet, but I can follow directions and experiment like a madman.
