Photopost Classifeds Search Categories

I am just about finished with my automotive related website and will have a "classified" section on it. I am trying to decide between Photopost Classified, and other software out there.

I like the Photopost search results pages with the thumbnail pics, etc but I would want to expand the Search Categories. Has anyone modified the search categories before? I would like to see what can be done with it, etc before I make a purchase. I want to have more options to choose from such as a Year range, Make, Model, Sort by Price or newly listed, etc. thanks

Well Classifieds comes with the ability to add 6 extra fields per category.

After results are displayed you have the option of sorting by specific fields. Since the sorts are actual mysql fields you could add some more sorts to the sort table to sort by extra1 extra2 extra3 etc fields

The scripts are not locked so you may modify them at your discretion.

So would I be able to create search categories such as year range (for example can you input variables such as 1965-1970 to narrow down the search) Also how about price range?

How about Sort by categories such as - Newly Listed, Highest Price, etc. I think that is on the search results page but can it be placed on the search categories page before you actually start the search?

Also are there any limits to how many pictures can be placed in each ad?

Are there any current websites you know of that have expanded search categories, I am just curious to see what it looks like.

I am leaning towards using the Photopost Classifieds software now, it seems like it might be able to do everything I want.

well to put them on search template you would need to make a select box named sort with the entries from the sort table setting the correct numeric value for the sort and then at the bottom of the search php file on the forward to showgallery add to the url this

&sort=$sort
