Notes

The workflow of "Classified Ads" in a Django project like yours typically follows these steps:

1. User Access & Listing:

• Users visit the "Classified Ads" section to view all available ads, often paginated and filterable by category, location, or keywords.

2. Ad Creation:

• Authenticated users can create a new classified ad by filling out a form (title, description, category, price, images, contact info, etc.).
• On submission, the ad is saved with a status (e.g., draft, pending, or published).

3. Moderation (Optional):

• Ads may require admin approval before being visible to the public.
• Admins review, approve, or reject ads.

4. Ad Display:

• Approved ads are shown in the listings.
• Each ad has a detail page with full information and contact options.

5. User Actions:

• Users can edit or delete their own ads.
• There may be options to mark ads as sold, renew, or promote them.

6. Communication:

• Interested buyers can contact the ad owner via a form, email, or phone (depending on implementation).

7. Expiry & Management:

• Ads may expire after a set period, after which they are archived or removed.
• Users can manage their ads from a dashboard (view stats, renew, edit, delete).

8. Notifications:

• Email or in-app notifications may be sent for ad status changes, inquiries, or expirations.

This workflow ensures a smooth process for posting, moderating, displaying, and managing classified ads within your Django application. If you need the specific implementation details for your project, let me know!

Here’s what each URL pattern in your classified_ads app does:

• '' (home): Main page for classified ads (views.home_view).
• 'ads/': List all ads (AdListView).
• 'ads/int:pk/': View details of a specific ad (AdDetailView).
• 'ads/create/': Create a new ad (AdCreateView).
• 'ads/int:pk/edit/': Edit an existing ad (AdUpdateView).
• 'ads/int:pk/delete/': Delete an ad (AdDeleteView).
• 'my-ads/': View/manage ads created by the current user (MyAdsView).
• 'categories/': List all categories (CategoryListView).
• 'category/slug:slug/': View ads in a specific category (CategoryDetailView).
• 'location/slug:slug/': View ads in a specific location (LocationDetailView).
• 'favorites/': List ads favorited by the user (FavoritesView).
• 'ads/int:pk/favorite/': Toggle favorite status for an ad (toggle_favorite).
• 'ads/int:pk/inquiry/': Submit an inquiry about an ad (submit_inquiry).

Each path is mapped to a view that handles the corresponding functionality for classified ads.
