Car Attributes Pro suggestions
« on: July 15, 2025, 09:11:25 PM »
Hello,
For users that just build a website for car listings, I would suggest you build a Car Attributes plugin that is standalone and does not have or require the other unnecessary features that osclass has.
Some examples:
1. Categories are still required
2. Classic keyword search is not needed(when users click search bar they should be redirected to car search page)
3. Quick filters should be removed or replaced with car attributes filters
4. A lot of sections in filter should be removed
5. Seller type in filter should be replaced with seller type in plugin.
6. Saved searches should be updated to work properly with plugin car filters.
7. “Transaction” should also be removed
8. VIN should be visible after click(loaded via ajax)
9. Empty sections should not be shown (for example if you don’t add anything in Special features the respective text is still displayed.
10. After Make->Model you should also add Generation, to make it easier for users to find the correct car they are searching for
11. You can add text in inputs that should have only numbers and vice-versa. Also you add negative numbers or decimal points where they should not be.
12. Should be properly integrated with dark mode

Maybe more to come but for now that’s all I could find. The main idea is to make a version of the plugin just for car ads website or maybe even for real estate. It could be a new plugin with another cost, I would buy it in an instance!

Thanks for feedback, unfortunately there is not many classifieds built for vehicles only.
  To get fast support, we need following details: Detail description, URL to reproduce problem, Screenshots

At least built separate plugins for cars only and real estate only, with the above requirements to fit a standalone website.

Please, does anyone know any API that i can use to support the vehicle category, so that filtering can be tailored towards specific car or vehicle searched for?
Like; When user wants to post advert for Truck and heavy machines, like tractor, bulldozer, etc, to show user types of bull dozers, or types of cranes, or type of excavator, forklift, etc model and features of each of them, aside from the normal cars features.
This can be seen effectively on jiji.ng, the vehicle category shows they are using a kind of API that gives real details and features of each vehicle.
Please, admin or anyone here who knows such API that has these feature should drop it here,
Thanks

There is no such api, each website build its own filters.
