The urmston.net
Classified Ads section is now up and running. When designing
this section
I decided that it was important to ensure that any adverts
displayed on the website are as current as possible; nobody
wants to phone up for something only to discover that it
was sold six weeks ago. Therefore, when you add an item you
will be assigned a randomly generated
reference number which can be used together with your e-mail
address to update your advert at any time. If you choose
not to update your advert it will automatically expire
after 7 days; the counter on the right tells you how long
the advert
has left before it expires. Besides resetting your advert,
once you have logged in, you can also update the selling
price or delete the advert entirely.
Included in the design is an option
to assign categories to the adverts but I'll wait to see
how popular the section becomes before enabling this option.
I may also include a search engine at some point in the future
too! Like everything else on urmston.net; I enjoyed creating
this section and if people decide to use it that's great
but I would imagine that it will take a while before this
section becomes popular.
