Description:



Paying too much for web hosting?

I want a script for a classified ad website similar to craigslist's format.
Please read requirements carefully and bid ONLY if you are fairly certain you
can deliver the finished product.
Requirements:
1) Want a Craigslist clone. The script has to be capable of doing what
craigslist does.

2) No deadline, I prefer someone who can do this RIGHT rather than someome who
can do it fast.

3) I know some may respond to this project with a script run by php or MySQL
database. NO, that is not what i want. I want the advetisements to be generated
in HTML format, similar to Craigslist, see one of the ads on CL below, it is
HTML, not php
http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/rfs/95643407.html
Other parts of the script can be done with php, but each and every single ad
should be in html.

4) There should be an easy to use CONTROL PANEL which I can use to run the
script. Say if I need to add new categories, etc etc.

5) I will be creating most of the site's pages manually using HTML while
incorporating your script into my website through a control panel. I think
that's how it should work, am I right ?

6) An example of the home page I have in mind can be found at

http://www.drgho.com/cl/index.htm
only a couple links are activated just to give you an idea of what I am trying
to build.

7) I should be able to add banners across the top, across the bottom, vertically
on the left hand side or vertically on the right side if I choose to. Either I
do this manually using HTML or through the control panel.

8) I should be able to PIN or anchor some advertisements to the top of the page
if I choose to, so that these featured advertisements will always appear at the
top of the screen for a particular category. For example, there should be a
feature that will allow me to pin the folllowing ad at the top of the real
estate for sale category screen if I choose to,
http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/rfs/95643407.html

9) To POST an advertisement in a particular category, people will use a form
similar to this one:
https://post.craigslist.org/nyc/H/rfs/que

However, in addition to the fields available above, I should have the option to
ADD more fields if I choose to. For example, I most definitely would like to
add two more fields, one called SEEK and one called OFFER so that when the
advertisement appear like the following, each ad properly classified as either
SEEK or OFFER
http://www.drgho.com/cl/re3.htm


10) Same as CL, people have to provide a legitimate email address in order to
post an ad. Exact same process as CL, ie: people have to confirm by email in
order to get their ad published.

11) There should be a SEARCH function available.

12) There should be a FILTER that allows me to censor BAD or vulgar words

13) There should be a minimal of ongoing maintenance required after the script
is done.

14) I hope there is a RATING or FEEDBACK system available so that people can
rate each other, much like what Scriptlance has. I understand for features like
this, it might be better off using a php platform, eg: the rating or feedback
feature . I am fine with that, as long as I can incorporate this into the
website somehow.
15) The script should be flexible enough so that if I wish to make
modifications, add a field, delete a field, add a category, etc etc, it would be
easy enough to do through the control panel.
Again, I want this to be done RIGHT, not fast. Not everything is as rigid as it
sounds, I am flexible for the most part.
Please ask as many questions as you want before placing a bid. If you have
prior experience in creating Craigslist clones or creating a script for
classifieds website, that would be great. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS if you are not
clear what I am trying to do.
Thanks.
