I ran this idea past my programmer the other day, and he suggested that a possible solution that wouldn't require any custom programming would be to utilize thread prefixes.
If you have been over on my FaunaClassifieds site in the classifieds sections there, you probably noticed the prefixes being used there to indicate that the animals were FOR SALE or WANTED, since both of those types of ads are combined together.
What my programmer suggested was that I use prefixes to indicate the STATE for people wishing to only view animals FOR SALE or WANTED within a particular state of interest. Of course there would have to be allowances for those members offering sales or desiring purchases outside of the USA.
But at least this may be feasible as a solution if it would work for all who are interested in this capability.
Of course, I would have to set this up and enter in each state manually
. And everyone creating a new ad in each of the classifieds sections here would have to utilize this prefix function for it to work.
So let me know your thoughts.
