Classifieds Template

[kit]

You can, but all modifications make upgrades all that much harder.
Adding one template to the Description is pretty simple.
Changing the code so it updates the template when I assume you change the Category is getting pretty big.
It would require (to work effectively) to move the Category input above the description, and then some javascript to populate the field.
Problem is there are 20 odd categories, so you need up to 20 templates.
I really think you are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

Yeah, I don't believe in a major rework, keeping it simple would be much better.

I believe the fields I posted in the OP would be a good starting point, but also think we shouldn't make it too exhaustive; so perhaps add/remove some fields.

Search tweaks is one of the most asked for features, so losing what searches we do have is probably a negative.

By location is the 1 se asked for the most, easily done in a forum based way. QLD NSW ECT

Then subforums of the Equipment/livestock.

What do you guys reckon? Worthwhile implementing a template?

That is a much better idea in my opinion.
If someone does up a template for the description box, I can make it the default text when they create an ad, that way they have a guideline to follow.

Not sure if you guys are still interested in implementing this, but I've just posted an ad and I used the Op as a template:
buysell/single_ad.php?ad_id=20159

I think it's much better and has all the information needed for a prospective buyer.
