    ATTN PROGRAMMERS: Add Private Messaging to a Website CMS?

    I am trying to get a Website up as fast as possible for a friend.

    I found Noah's Classifieds V8 which is a very simple PHP/CSS extremely customizable classifieds CMS.

    Which will do exactly what I want and is pre-built and cheap as fuck.

    Problem is it only does E-mail Contact. But for me private Messaging is a must.

    So i'd like the Reply to Post to be changed into a Private Messaging Service..

    I'm guessing it is possible for a programmer to add this feature.. But is it worth it??

    Would I be better off with going with Drupal or Joomla??


    Are you a programmer? How much would you want to do this and How long would it take?

    I'm a big Joomla fan, so that would get my vote. There are components for all those features you just mentioned, so it would pretty much be plug and play.

    Spend you some brain.

      That's what I figured.

      Can you suggest a "classifieds/personals" type component?

      That doesn't cost $300, extremely plain barebones simple and customizable?

      Honestly I rather invest $300 into adding PMs to the Noah script and help that app get further along..

        Ok fuckit I found Ads Manager which incorporates Joomla User Accounts and PMS..

        I guess i'll just figure this out instead....

        I hate how each one of these apps are missing 1 small detail that i'd like to have.. there's always something someone leaves out..

        and it blows my mind how much $$ people want for these Joomla addons.. I rather spend a little more and have something custom programmed and it would be mine to own..
