Your suggestions on Classified Scripts

    Hello,

    I'd like to receive some advices on a classified script for my new site.

    Reading this forum and doing researches on the internet, I have selected the following classified ads php scripts:

    Esvon Classified: expensive if you choose many additional modules (while other products include them in the standard package), but seems to include almost everything needed for my site, so I can save on programming cost for customizations.

    Looking at theirs testimonial page, I can easily find big sites using this script with hundred of thousand of ad.

    The admin section is very intuitive and organized.

    I doesn't seems any more under active development, even thought minor updates are released even this year.

    Documentation is sparse and almost absent.


    GeoClassified: very popular, his admin interface is not very intuitive but documentation is comprehensive and the product is under development.

    eDirectory: a costly product, I have not really investigated on this but it seems a polular solution, existing from many years and under development.

    Flynax: this product seems very young, but well structured, their admin interface is very well made (probably based on ExtJs) documentation is absent.

    The product seems under active development and according to the forum version 4 is to be expected in a few months.

    Like I said, I'm oriented toward Esvon solution, but I wonder if there is a similar or superior solution, maybe less pricey.

    The fact that some big sites have chosen Esvon classified, make me believe their code is optimized to handle heavy loads, but only site owner cha tell more on this.

    Hope someone can shed some light and help me choose.

    Bye :)

    I was looking into a classified website for a while but I came to the conclusion that there were already too many classified websites. I asked myself why would someone not use kijiji? I found a great software, Classipress. It's a plugin for wordpress, very good and not that expensive.

    Yeah that's the only downside but it's constantly updated by the owner. I know it can be done with wordpress hidden fields.
