The Ads tab gives you a complete list of all classified ads on the site, with filters to narrow down what you see.
Navigating to the Ads List
- Navigate to Administer Site > Classifieds.
- Click the Ads tab.
Alternatively, from the Entrance tab, click any of the status links (All Ads, Active, Pending, or Disabled) to go directly to a filtered view.
Using the Filters
At the top of the ads list, two dropdowns let you narrow the view:
Category Filter
Select a category from the Category dropdown to see only ads posted in that category. The dropdown lists all leaf categories (categories that have no subcategories). Select All to see ads across every category.
Status Filter
Select a status from the Status dropdown:
- All — Shows every ad regardless of status.
- Active — Shows only published ads.
- Disabled — Shows only disabled ads.
- Pending — Shows only ads awaiting review.
Both filters apply immediately when you make a selection — no need to click a submit button.
What the Ads Table Shows
Each row in the ads list displays:
- A status indicator icon showing whether the ad is active, pending, or disabled.
- A photo icon if the ad includes one or more images.
- The ad title (click to open the ad for editing).
- The category the ad belongs to.
- The publisher (the member username who owns the ad — click to see all ads by that member).
- The date the ad was posted.
Ads are sorted by most recently posted first.
Pagination
The list defaults to 25 ads per page. Use the page controls at the bottom of the list to move between pages.
