Scripts for a forum and a classified ads needed!!

[aboujouj83]

I am working on

http://www.discovermtl.com

right now, and I am planning to include a forum and a classified ads sections in it.

Where do I find forums scripts? I see many websites that use the same layouts. Where do they get them from? What's the best one?

As for the classified ads section, I am thinking of making as simple as possible. Any example? Any reference? Should it be done in PHP/MySQL?

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there.

You can use: PHP BB and Google AdSense.

http://www.phpbb.com/

- PHPBB FORUM

https://www.google.com/adsense/?hl=en_GB

- CLASSIFIED ADS.

They are free as well. And you can earn money from the Google AdSense.

Thanks for the reply. I like the PHP BB part of your answer. But you probably misunderstood the classified ads section. I would like to have a page where people post their own ads, by choosing a category for their itme and posting a description, and then submitting it...

I think that you will need to write your own.
It will be easier for you to do so, rather than plugged-in to your system.

That's my personal opinion.

Any example? Any sample code? I will end up writing my own or adjusting it to my own preferences, but I'd rather work with some working example.
Thanks

I haven't used these personally, but they may help.

Try this link.
They have few links to the open source classified CMS.
