    You may have seen somewhat similar scripts , not this one.
    yes , you may find these type of script for free but I dont think I need to tell you that whats the difference between a free and paid script :).

    Try this please:
    Here is the link for demo.
    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigs/
    Admin Panel:
    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigs/admin
    username: admin
    password : admin
    its working for me.

    Oh ok. Because I have this exact script on my PC and I matched up the files with what I have against what is against the server and all the files matched!!

    Example how could I possible know about this file:
    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigs/dataconn.php

    Your demo even has the readme files on the server still (Although you will probably delete them once you see this post)

    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigs/readme.html
    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigs/ReadMe.txt

    You claim you coded this yet here you hied a php programmer:

    http://www.scriptlance.com/projects/1096872638.shtml

    Why would you (a claimed php expert who supposedly created this great script) need to hire someone for a 1 hr job?

    If you have this exact script on your PC , how did that become my fault , people buy script and give them away to their friends.
    You can get vB free [contact me for links], but that doesnt make it a FREE script.
    Thats called as illegel if you know what it means.
    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigs/readme.html
    is the readme file for that WYSIWYG editor I used in this script.
    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigs/ReadMe.txt
    is the file that I wrote myself, to help people install the script themself when they buy the script.


    Thats really funny !!!
    Smartest guy! , Did you notice that the project above was posted 2 years ago , I was not a good php programmer at that time.[as I didnt know coding when I came to earth , probably unlike you] ... I learnt it here.
    And 2 years is a lot of time to learn php and create a script like this.
    one more thing , I am a php programmer , but still I cant say that I can do everything ... recently I hired another programmer to make a script to change text to pdf !
    so that means I am not a programmer?
    If you dont know what I mean , go to getafreelancer.com and check out , almost all programmers post projects for other too.
    Now please dont try to trash my thread.

    Sure :confused: but that doesn't explain why you still have the readme file for the script on your server. You started this thread 2 months ago and you claimed you would add alot of features and such, well a number of people nhave suggested essential add-ons for this script and you have added nothing! Even though you claimed you would. One more thing....

    Wait. You posted that project 2 years ago. But you created the script about 1 year ago which is what you said. So, you learned PHP in 1 year and not 2 (like you claimed). See? Your timeline doesn't add up :) . I'm not 100% sure you didn't create this script, but you are making it very hard for people to beleive you.

    I'm not trying to "trash" your sales thread, it's just that I've seen people trying to sell free scripts too many times.

    I dont understand whats your problem.
    Its my server , my place , its me who will decide what I will upload and whats not.
    if you find readme file on my server [that too i created ] then its a free script... this doesnt make any sense to me.
    I uploaded it because I grant ftp access to that folder to people who miss some files etc.
    I feel you are acting like a kid. taking my few words and trying to build story yourself.
    3 years ago I came online , 2 years ago I started to learn php. now take this line and make another story:)
    you are right that I posted this thread 1 year ago , but Mr 007 , also note that the first reply I got was after 1 year I posted this thread and in that 1 year , I kept upgrading this script and then finally someone liked it and replied.

    If its a free script , go and find a link to get it downloaded.
    I dont count myself as the smartest person as you do , so I cant offend people here offering a free script as paid.
    And you think you are the only person who found it out that its a free script and all other thousand of DPers couldnt find it in last 1 year.
    Hats off to your smartness.
    now please go find a link to download. and if you reply please make sure you post a link where you can get it for free.

    And you said about development , can you read english... go to first page and see the modifications we did.
    and this is the URL we are working on:
    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigsnew/
    currently we are making it multilanguage. and using css to make it look clean.
    do you know what version means , if you do , it will be our next version of script. But I didnt announce it yet because its still being tested.
    [and I didnt take any money in advance from anyone , so I am free to work as i want].

    Little info about the ' honest ' guy-

    I visited ' lordmenace ' homepage http://homebrewhowto.com/ and I would like to tell you that according to google TOS , you cant put adsense more than 3 times on same page , and its around 5 times on your homepage.
    Good... so you do everything to cheat system and claim that you are the one who will save all the rest.
    Before you remove it I have grabbed it here : http://www.collect.ws/homebrewhowto1597772376/index.php so that people can see the reality of the person who is acting as the most smart and honest person.
    I know you will say you just bought this website or framed pages etc .
    I would say just concentrate on your own stuff and dont worry about others , everybody here is smart enough and they wont pay for a FREE script. :)

    If you are the true owner of this script and it really isn't free, then I'll buy it to support you since I'd rather not steal it.
    No offense but is English your first language? I didn't understand any of that.



    There is nothing on the first page with that URL. Nice try.

    Wait, you didn't announce the script yet, but you just said in the above quote you posted it on the first page?

    Nope, I didn't just buy that site I've started it from scratch 6 months ago. Now, here is where you are WRONG

    There are 3 Google ad blocks and 1 link block (Which is what Google's limit is - 4) And there is 1 google button(For adsense sign up - Google allows 2) The rest of the ads are CPM (Pay per visit, not per click) ads served by burstmedia.com and valueclickmedia.com and they are not contextual, so before you go hammering away at your keyboard, pay attention to which ad company the ads came from. So my site is NOT in violation of Adsense's TOS I never intended to claim you didn't create the script (I even asked questions before I went any further). I just merely wanted to know if you were the true coder. :)

    it works for me , and thats where we are working on modifying it.

    Yes , I am the coder of this script. You should pay me if you are using it on your domain , also , if possible , please let me know how did you get the copy of the script.
    I dont want to waste more of my time and energy prooving that I made this script , because thats the truth.
    You find the place where you think its being offered as free.
    Anyway , Just wait 1 week and you will see alot of thing that you will believe that I coded it.
    But still you made me happy by calling it a 'Great script'.
    You too hammered your keyboard without thinking first , and ruined my thread.
    And its xmas and we are damn busy doing coding for our clients , thats why its getting lot of time for seeing some modifications in this script.
    if you still believe that its a free script , please please contact me via PM and ill proove it to you, then I would request you to post on this thread that you were wrong.
    I just dont want this thread to go long and long discussing that its paid or free script.
    Because its a Paid script and I made it myself on same computer I am typing this.

    Thanks.
    P.S. : I will get few people that know me and my coding skills to post here that its my script. To just make my statements confirm for all other people.

    Hi rock I just sent you a PM and I would like to request an update to your script that I didn't see anyone here suggest

    is there anyway to make the script make the pages static with more search engine friendly urls

    for example instead of

    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigsnew/showmessage.php?catid=58&subcatid=290&msgid=7

    maybe it could be

    http://www.elitesofttech.com/craigsnew/test/test1/UST-A-TEST.html


    category/subcategory/title_of_classfied_post.html

    or

    category/subcategory/subsubcategory/title-of-classfied-post.html

    ect... ect... ect... ( Mixing it up like that would be even greater - and _ ) make it look not so automated

    This would be a very important update

    another would be if the site could make .rss feeds for other sites to post certain categories on there own websites

    another update that would be great would be premium listings that cost a fee and are posted above the free listings

    another update if not already in there is an email collector from all people who post ads and all who are interested in recieving updates to new posted ads in the categories they choose while signing up for the email updates

    another option that could be great is if you added a most popular ads on main page and per main category would create more links and back links in the script and create more clicks to advertisements

    maybe allow small images to be added to the classifieds

    maybe even add a top 10 search's list to the main page or top 5 and last 5 search's

    Well ads should expire from the listing keeping the old ads on static pages will only bring in more search engine traffic and create more backlinks inside the site which will help overall ranking

    thease things would make this script kick ass and worth alot more then what you are currently selling it for just my 2cents

    I agree with Miguelmateos on the search engine friendly layout. I think it's just a matter of mod-rewrites.

    I didn't see a section on the admin area to manage/edit/delete the ads. That's a must-have feature.

    By the way, please contact me when the new version gets completed. I am certainly interested. I have been looking for a craigslist clone for a long time.

    Hi;
    I just read the whole thread and I though I have to say something about this.

    First of all I know @rockmyway5 about for a year. He is a coder and founder of a company at India, working with 3 coder and a designer. Whenever I need a script I dont go anywhere to find a coder. I just tell it to him at msn messenger and he codes it as same as what I want within 2-4 days. And If I need more features he does.

    As he stated at earlier posts, You should have look created date first :) Created: 10/4/2004 at 2:50 EST Almost 2,5 years ago.

    I believe @rockmyway5 own the right of that script, and the script is not freeware. You should remove it, or as you said if you use it, u should pay.

    @Miguelmateos : Thanks for your time for writing words for us to modify our script.
    @iBBnet : I will let you know when we launch next version (will be within 1 week).
    @themaster : Thanks my friend for your time :)

    For those who wants to know the status of our work , I have made this our list of to do's :

    1) Making the script multilanguage supported.
    2) Restructering the script and make its possible to modify font etc via CSS file.
    3) Adding a section of Managing [add , edit , delete] in admin section.
    4) Mod_rewrite the script. i.e. making category/subcategory/title_of_classifieds_post.html possible. [can be turned ON and OFF from admin]
    5) Making an option of featured listing and make them apprear on the top.
    6) Making Rss feeds for website owners to post certain categories with ads on their own websites.
    7) An email collector for all people who post ads and all who are interested in recieving updates to new posted ads in the categories they choose while signing up for the email updates.
    8) Multi location features[same as craigslist].

    First 3 features are about to complete and in few hours from now I will post here when its tested.
    You can find the latest updates on this script here http://estclassifieds.elitesofttech.com/ .
    I will also keep this thread updated.
    Thanks all of you for showing interest in my script:)

    I am pleased to inform that Post management section is done. This feature was requested by lots of people so we worked on it .
    You can check it out here.
    http://elitesofttech.com/craigsnew/admin/
    userid / password : admin / demoadmin
    Then have a look at Post Management section in left menu.
    Also , you can put your custom adsense code or other ads on header , footer , left and right side of the website and also you can manage Title , and Meta tags from Admin panel.
    Other things are being worked on , in the serial I stated above.
    P.S. Thanks for green reps guys :)

    Alright! Good job! I see more features now...

    I'll keep an eye on this board. I'd like to purchase the script once completed and ready.

    Thanks!
