video classifieds and html ads

Will the script support video and html ads? How can we add these features?

Mike,

68 classifieds supports file uploads. You can add it as an extra field. I personally warn against this due to things such as trojan horses. Whats to stop some nasty competitor trying to find a way to bring your site down, inserting a nasty little virus. To actually have a video player, you will need to install some kind of media player, there are some excellent flash ones available for free if you search the internet. Like I say, I dont advise to go down these routes.

Also you were talking to me the other day about wanting a webhost that charges $4 a month? For that sort of price I cant see you having an account that will allow for the amount of bandwidth used with videos.

Thanks Maffo. If I will be hosting the videos myself, of course hosting fees will be considered. The $6-8 hosting fees (starter package) I mentioned the other day was for for a regular classifieds site with no videos.
