[New Plugin] Template generator - for creating HTML ad templates

[Jesse]

Thanks Ingo! That looks good. I'll see what I can do.

One big drawback is that sites like Craigslist are very limited to the code you can use. For instance, you can NOT use any CSS code for styling. I'm limited to only HTML and using tables. Of course, a lot can still be done with HTML and tables, which I'll do.

New Update

I've just uploaded version 1.0 of Template Generator. I've finally finished a template for it that's fully compatible with Craigslist (which imposes many limits on what you can do). It should work just fine on any other site as well. Links have also been added that will bring the user back to the original ad posting.

I've attached a screen-shot of a sample ad that I posted on Craigslist so you can see what the final product looks like. You'll probably want to tweak the template to your own needs. I will not modify the template for anyone nor will I make custom templates, but you're welcome to do so yourself. 

Download the latest version of this plugin from my first post.


Ingo: Thank you again for your awesome work! If I do any more templates, I'll definitely use some of your ideas! I did use your ideas for the template I just made.

Hi Jesse,

This is a very nice plugin. I works great. I really like way you generate the template with an ajax call. Keep up the great work.

New update - version 1.1 fixes issue with links not working when permalinks (friendly URL's) are enabled.

Simply download the latest version from my first post and upload it. No "uninstall" or "install" necessary.

Hey Jesse,

Will there be an option to choose different templates?

[Jesse]

Hi slickyv,

There wont be a template selection option created by me. The code is freely available to be modified by anyone to do anything though. Everything I know about OSClass I've learned since the end of November, so if I can learn to do it, anyone here can!!
