Default Banging My Head

Hi to all,

I have spent much time searching for a program that will fit my needs and there are a lot of folks around the web that think highly of 68Classifieds, which has brought me here and I like the abilities for full customization, but I have some questions first.

Is it possible to add videos to the homepage and perhaps parent categories? This would only be for design purposes, example: a welcome and site overview video. Also, can you locate flash ads, or similar on the pages. It would seem that pages could be edited with Dreamweaver, is this true?

Next, I have some questions about payments and user groups.
-I don't plan to charge the person listing an item or service any fees, they would be in one group.
-I want visitors to be able to look around, but not see certain particulars, i.e. only perhaps the items, but not the seller, this is another group.
-I want the final group to be able to make an offer, but they will be charged for doing so, with different tiers of membership. Example, One group can search and bid only, another can bid and see others bids, another group will be able to receive notifications of when someone else bids, etc.
-Finally, the individual that lists will have the freedom of looking over the other bids and they will chose the one that they prefer, it does not have to be the lowest.

Is all of this possible, are there mods available, would it be a nightmare to attempt coding myself? I have experience with moding forums that are done in PHP.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, placement of images, video, etc can be done in any editor and will depend on your skills of editing HTML/CSS/Flash or etc depending on what you are trying to add. As for wysiwyg editing I don't know, as I don't use them. Our admin area has a page editor where you can create pages with custom content, however its for static content not javascript. You can always add conditionals to the template for these pages to to have javascript work for specific pages. As for editing, it will be necessary to have some decent HTML/CSS skills, attempting to do it via dreamweaver wysiwyg editor will not likely be good enough.

As for the rest, 68C isn't really setup to function like that. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you would definitely have to make custom modifications to achieve this result. Hiding content based on usergroups is pretty easy. I would go to the demo and really get a good feel for what the system can do and see if you can't work out what kind of modifications you are really looking at.
