Marketplace template - Conceptual & Experimental

You should be logged in to clone a site.

This is a project to create a wiki-based small ads site. The idea is to emulate a classic small ads section of a newspaper.

The project needs some new Wikidot functionality and will sleep until that functionality is ready.

Here is a design sketch:

• Main sections (housing, cars, jobs, personal, stuff) are each defined as pages in the section: category
• Adverts are held in the item: category, children of the appropriate parent
• Adverts consist of:
  • A photo
  • A title
  • For sale / wanted
  • A description (short text)
  • A region
  • A classification
• The classifications are built up by users of the site over time
  • E.g. types of cars, appartments
  • Each classification is a wiki page
  • Classifications are hierarchical
• Adverts are aged automatically by being replaced by newer ones
• The owner of the advert can close it using a tag
