Many existing users of Classifieds have commented how the currently included advert types are too limiting and how additional types such as "For Rent", "Employment Offered" etc. should be added.
Continuing the trend of acting on customer feedback I'm pleased to announce Classifieds 1.2 will feature fully customisable advert types. The image below shows how this looks in practice when viewing a category.
As you can see each type can have it's own customisable badge with admin defined text and colour. Not only that, admins can define specific text to display for each type when users enter a zero value. For example, with the "for sale" type you may wish to display "Free" or for "employment offered" you may wish to show "Salary Negotiable".
It is also still possible to filter the results by advert type to include any custom additions. Only those types with a matching advert in the results will show so as not to clutter up the dropdown menu.
The eagle-eyed amongst you will also notice in this screenshot, an additional feature coming to version 1.2... featured ads. More on this in another blog entry.
Finally advert types can now be restricted by category. For example, If you don't want employment adverts shown in a motoring category simply deselect that advert type when adding/editing the category.
Keep an eye on the Marketplace Blog over the coming days for more info of the forthcoming features to be introduced with Classifieds 1.2. I'm confident you will be pleased with the results of the latest development cycle and look forward to sharing more of what's to come.
