- Ability to add custom fields for specific category
Ability to add custom fields for specific category

We know what you mean, the idea is to use an extension such as our 'boats' extension for cars with modification.
However, modifying the extension requires good knowledge of PHP and KISS Advertiser core. And it is rather time consuming to modify it that it fits all your needs. Maybe it is worth while to wait until the next generation of KISS Advertiser with custom fields which is planned to be launched beginning of next year.
Anyway you may try to modify our boat-extension.
To see the boat extension at work in German, you can have a look at our test server.
Goto
Test server 3
From the top menu, select 'KISS Advertiser'
In the category view, find the category 'Fahrzeuge' (vehicles)
Select the subcategory 'Wasserfahrzeuge' (water vehicles)
Then select 'Boote und Yachten' (boats and yachting)
There you find a subcategory 'Bootsanhänger' (boat trailers) and an ad.
Open the ad and you find the extension fields on the tab 'Technik' (technics)
Feel free to add your own ads in both categories.

what I mean is, if I use say the "boats" extension, could I modify the code to set/make my own custom fields, ie:
Vehicle Make (drop down)
Vehicle model (drop down)
Vehicle year (drop down)
Vehicle colour (drop down or text field)
mileage (text field)
engine type/size (text field)
transmission (drop down)
other options (text field)
and all above options would be set by me, ie:
Make: Scion (not really required, as there would only be one make)
Model(s): 1st Gen tC, 2nd Gen tC. 1st Gen xB, 2nd Gen xB, xD, iQ, FR-S (drop down, single selection)
Year: 2004-2014 (drop down, single selection)
Colour (text field)
mileage (text field actual mileage and a drop down or radio button to select Miles/KM)
Engine size/type: 1.5l 4 cyclinder, 3.0l 6 cylinder (drop down, single selection)
Transmission: 4spd Auto, 5spd Auto, 6 Spd Auto, 5spd Manual, 6spd Manual (drop down, single selection)
Other Options: Air, Power Windows, Power Locks, Cruise Control, and so on (check box options allowing multiple selection)
I am so so with PHP and mySQL, I would be willing to work with one of the existing extensions to try and create/modify something for vehicle applications.
ps. what are the significant differences between the standard (free) extension and the Pro (paid) extension

We have written some extensions covering specific situations such as pets, boats, horses, gardens. However, there is no extension for cars. We had to write an extension if one is required, but regarding the fact that in the new version there will be custom fields, writing an extension (which is very time consuming) does not pay any more.
In the PRO version, you can set the existing fields to invisible, mandatory, activated, user rights - however we are sorry to say that there is no way to create own custom fields.

Is there the ability to set my own custom fields through the extensions? And what extensions would I require?
Thanks,
Jeff

At the moment, additional fields is only available through extensions. For cars, there is no extension at the moment unfortunately.
We are working on the next generation of KISS Advertiser which is planned to be launched at the end of this year. In that version, unlimited numbers of custom fields will be available.

I would like to know if there is any way to create custom fields for specific categories.
For example, if I have a category called "Cars for Sale" have custom selectable drop downs that would have Car Make/Model, Car Year, Car Colour, Transmission type, and custom text fields for mileage, options, and so on.
I have seen this done in extensions like ListBingo, but have been having issues with their extension working properly, so I am trying other extensions.
If there is no way to do this now, is this something that could be incorporated in the future?
