Classified Ads website. Which CMS would you use?

which open source cms would you pick for a classified ads website?

Some features I'm looking for are: a structure supporting unlimited subcategories,sellers should have a page with all their ads, messaging between users or forward message via email, flexible custom fields ( example: engine,warranty,horsepower for autos; level, neighborhood for real estate etc, possibly searchable), search engine friendly urls, free and paid ads ( paid listed first or something along these lines )

I would be really interested to see some samples of what you have build with which systems, or if you just know any good website that uses an open source cms for classifieds

 

I use wordpress. it easy and simple

 

I've been using wordpress themes from Premium themes http://www.premiumpress.com/classified-script/ I've never used the classified theme but I currently have Shoppers Press and the directory theme and they work well.

 

yes, using wordpress and clasfield script but its commercial. try nulled version its only way to get it free

 

We offer you to try one of our classified scripts: iAuto, iLister, iRealty.. We implemented all the features listed by you in our software. You can test our software on demo or install a free trial version. If you need a customization, we are ready to implement it for you.You are welcome with any question.

 

Thanks for replies and PMs, I'm interested in something opensource, not encoded and possibly free ( at the moment I don't have a real project, I'm just trying to understand what's the best option available at the moment ).

Any combination of CMS + extensions would be very interesting as well.

Drupal + its embedded content creation kit sounds really appreciated in order to create something like what I described.

 

I usually use a top classified software: http://topclassifiedsoftware.com

 

Yup it is. Being on wordpress you will have thousands of free plugins at your disposition.

 

Thumbs up, there are tons of other free ecommerce themes too or for cheap. If you don't want to use a paid theme, there is a free solution too for you to test out.

 

Do these classified script allow for adsense integration and perhaps other e-marketing features?

 

I use wordpress.

 

Does it have a classified plugin or something like that?

 

Oftenly, i found that wordpress is quite ok for that.
