• Car Selling Script

Right ive been sitting on one of my websites for two long now without developing it to its full potential. Im looking for an easy to customise car selling script where users can register and then post details and pics of the car which is for sale. I like the option on Buy and Sell Anything in Ireland. DoneDeal.ie is Ireland's Leading Site to Buy and Sell Stuff. (http://www.donedeal.ie) where the user pays for the ad via text message... is this hard to setup ? whats involved etc.. The site is ModifiedCars.ie :: Helping you buy or sell your modified car (http://www.ModifiedCars.ie) so its only gonna be aimed at modified car owners, i know there is a few similar sites popping up every second week but with a name like ModifiedCars id be stupid to let it sit any longer... Ive searched the like of hotscripts etc and nothing is taking my fancy, maybe its because im a fussy f*cker :rolleyes: Any one on here develop a similar site or know of a suitable script ? Cheers.

• link management

am looking for a very simple and easy to use ( OAP's ;) ) link mangament script (based prob on php and mysql) which would allow the clients to upload links onto their (otherwise static) site via an easy to use backend - could do one myself but if there's one out there then i'd use it - it would prob need to be either free or cheap also any suggestions..it doesnt have to do anything except store and display links, (eg ..link display name, url and link details) thanks

• Custom CMS vs Joomla Drupal Wordpress etc

Hi, I am a Software Developer turned Web Developer. I have gotten my head around W3 and design standards. I understand the necessity for care in developing web based systems and the popular problems that arise and "hacks" that are often necessary to get things "working", cross browsers etc. I have just installed Joomla 1.5 and am playing around with it. My problem (which I know is a lack in understand) is that I cannot see how these CMS systems are useful outside the scope of providing a user with a nice way to maintain a traditionally static website. For example if I had a personal site (which I don't yet), I could have typically divided the site up in to the following pages {Home, About Me, Contact}, very basic I know, but hypothetically it's fine. Now the content on these pages, generally wouldn't be dynamic in nature and not require a database or server side logic to generate the pages, they could just be delivered as is. Now if I wanted a mechanism to simply edit those pages, without having to engage in the whole (download/edit/upload) markup cycle, I could employ a system like Joomla. Now consider this. I have a site which will reflect a stock inventory, which is essentially contained in a database. So for example if I had PHP page called showItem.php, I could simply pass it an "id" (or whatever) which would then pull content from the database and generate XHTML markup and in conjunction with some style sheet, present the stock item information in any way I see fit. Now my point here is that there is simply one page to achieve this. I'm just talking about presenting to the user, nothing to do with the interface as top how the item got in to the database in the first place. From my understanding with Joomla is that the admin needs to go and create something seperate for each thing they want available on the site. As opposed to the CMS logic being able to see that there are 500 items in the database and by using the same document, display them based on the id being passed by the site visitor. This is really bothering me because, I know I am missing something significant here and am waiting for this whole thing to make sense. Or am I right, we're really trying to mash our own websites in to an open source management solution that has tried it's best foresee (in an abstract way) what our content will be like, while at the same time giving us limited and a hacky approach to introduce our presentation layer. In terms of a Model View Controler architecture, I always saw a CMS as a Controller, where the site template (style sheets, etc) were the View, and whatever relevant data was in the database was the Model. However with the likes of Joomla, Drupal, etc, it seems that they have crossed the boundary in to all 3 domains, and subsequently made it more of a challenge for us to implement them across the board. What am I missing here?

• Wordpress WP e-Commerce plugin

Has anybody used the Wordpress WP e-Commerce plugin from wordpress e-commerce plugin | Instinct Entertainment (http://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce) ? Potentially its an awesome plugin that can allow a full e-commerce site in a much tidier and flashier way than OS commerce and it has all the functions you need but I've found it awfully buggy. Image uploading and thumbnails are bizzare, I'm getting php errors all over the place and at one stage when I checked to see how everything looked in IE7, it was all invisible! I've eventually got it to work kinda by messing around with different combinations of wordpress and plugin versions but I'd be interested hear others opinions and experiences.

• wordpress if pagepost query

Hi folks I am trying to serve specific banners on one of my wpressed sites depending on the pageslug.. I had a bunch of pages which was ok eg. Code: --------- if ( is_page('casinos') ) include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/bannerincludes/casinostop.inc'); --------- however I have moved some pages to make them posts how do i say something like Code: --------- if ( is_post('casinos') ) include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/bannerincludes/casinostop.inc'); --------- I have tried using the postID rather than 'casinos' but to no avail. There is no is_post function.. any help appreciated. From what i read, I was sure WPress treats posts and pages pretty much identically cheers niall

• Drupal Users Developers in Ireland

Hi everyone, Just wondering if there are any Drupal users out there? I have been looking at the system for a while, but I find the learning curve to themeing in Drupal quite involved compared with Joomla / Wordpress. Just wondering what other possibly long term users thoughts of the system are, as I'm currently looking to purchase Expression Engine and devote my time to that over Drupal. Having been a long term Open Source fan, purchasing a CMS is a big step for me and from what I've seen I really really like Expression Engine, but would love to hear from others who may have invested time in Drupal and possibly have websites running with it?
