Something like SitePoint?

Hi, just looking for some advice or recommendations.

Need to setup a classifieds/marketplace website within a community - much like SitePoint.com. I've tried (long and very hard) with Joomla and it's just frustrated me too much. So I'm looking elsewhere, regretably. Would like to focus it around a forum, like vBulletin or phpbb.

Can you recommened any plugins or mods that could acheive the same as SitePoint and it's marketplace?

Thanks and merry christmas!

Thanks. Anything else about?

 

Modified wordpress installation. Its a work of theme'ing mostly and plugins.
Also you may need to modify it to use it with a forum software like MyBB or vB

 

I think you should just make a snazzy forum for this. I believe Invision Power Board has some plugins already where you have to pay per topic.

 

vbclassified - http://www.vbclassified.com/ The script is fully integrated with VBulletin.

I run vbclassified on my site, its easy to customize and easy for the users to learn. You can set it up so its paid only feature, or where it cost a certain amount of money to list an item. Permissions are set with the VBulletin member groups.

If you wanted a landing page with a CMS and forum, go with wordpress integrated with vbulletin - there is an integration modification at vbulletin.org. Then you would have CMS - forum and classifieds section.

====== EDIT =========

Wordpresss + Vbulletin integration - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=177625
