Thank you for this forum.
On occasion I'll do stuff I've never done before. I usually don't know much about this stuff either. I'm always satisfied with the progress and/or results. Here's what I'm up to now.
I want to create a web site where folks can list "wanted to buy" and "wanted to sell" ads. I don't want to categorize on the front end. The creator of the ad will just create the ad. The ad will go next in line on a "product list" type (static?) page.
The categorization will be in the front page's search function. I'd like a two pronged search function. Search title and content of ad in one search box. So if your looking for a 1999 Dodge Ram front bumper you won't get irrelevant Dodge, Ram, Bumper, etc search results.
I would want the ad creator to be able to post a jpeg and an e-mail link. I don't want community forum type responses to an ad.
Someone told me the "pruduct list" type platform is easy and uses few resources but the search function is where it gets complicated.
Before I even get into hosting, spiders, servers, etc.
I need to know if there is a free or fee based template similiar to what I described and where it could be found or created.
Sorry for the long winded first post and thanks in advance for any replys.
