    Need vs Offer feature

    Is it possible to have a feature that woul sort the ads into needs and offers? And also add a filter so that the visitors can decide to see needs only or offers only.

    Another feature would be: to make it possible for unregistered users to be able to delete their ads in case the ad was fulfilled. For instance, when they post the ad, they will receive an email that conatins a link to delete the ad, when the ad is fulfilled.

    If these get included, i'm definitely buying it.

    Sorting currently isn't available but should be in a future release. The unregistered feature is a little more tricky b/c yes, you'd have to do everything through email. I plan on including it eventually but it might be a few months.

    As for the sorting, it should be easy and i have no doubt about it. But for the editing of the posts, I have an idea, and I dont know if it's actually implemented now, since i didn't spend much time test driving the theme.
    When the user submits an ad, they have to enter their email as well, so, how about using that email to create an account for them ad they would get a confirmation like you usually do from WP, going like this:

    Dear email@domain.com,

    You just have posted and ad.... keep this email for future editing of the ad.

    Your username is email@domain.com
    Your password is sddferwcs
    So, basically, the email they input when creating the ad would be used as both, their username and email, which you need to create a WP account. This way, the users would have the ability to edit ads, and at the same time they would not have the psychological barrier of first creating an account in order to post [we all hate registering].

    I hope i made myself clear enough, cuz i wrote a llot.
    I would be very appreciative for this, thanks.

    Thanks for sharing and that's not a bad idea. I'll see what I can do for a future release but nothing like that short-term.
