I was wondering how do I prioritize some paid ads.
I'll buy the component and was wondering if possiver give priority to some ads (articles). Because I will use this component to search for doctors in my city. Ai will have free and paid listings.
The paid, has to come first and if possible with some different style.
In Joomla 1.5 version free for all I can later add priority venues.
a) A possible solution would be to order the results by the 'Ordering' field, so that you can control which ad comes first.
b) You need to visually differentiate the paid ads by making some modifications to the HTML of the article itself.
However I believe that relying solely on Joomla + Custom Properties is not the best solution. It's kind of "brittle", because a) can be undone by changing the ordering and could become difficult to handle across many categories. b) is labour intensive and prone to errors.
I suggest you look for specialized 'Ad serving / directory listing ' extensions that for sure has those two basic requests covered.
