Hello, I’m creating a classifieds component and I have an important question here…

Actually, I use those urls :

• …/wordpress-mu/classifieds (directory listing)
• …/wordpress-mu/classifieds/test666 (single classified)
• …/wordpress-mu/members/myname/classifieds/my-classifieds (user classifieds)
• …/wordpress-mu/members/myname/classifieds/create (creation)

Now I would like to be more precise for directory listing.

I have three ways of filtering, “browing” classifieds :

• “action” (searching / proposing)
• type (job, services, etc)
• category (garden, computers, etc)

Here’s my question :

How to deal with this for urls ?

e.g;

../wordpress-mu/classifieds/searching/job/computers

should show every classified where

• someone is searched (not “proposes”)
• for a job
• in computers/

[current_component] => classifieds [current_action] => searching [action_variables] => Array ( [0] => job [1] => computers

The problem is that the url could also be

../wordpress-mu/classifieds/job/computers

• (someone is searching or proposing)
• for a job
• in computers/

[current_component] => classifieds [current_action] => job [action_variables] => Array ( [0] => computers

Or just

../wordpress-mu/classifieds/job/computers

• any classifieds related to the computers category

[current_component] => classifieds [current_action] => computers

You know what I mean ?

So.. Have you ideas on how I could build a function to filter my content based on the url given ?

Take all what’s after /classifieds/ (current_action & action_variables), and check the slug for everything to define if it’s an action, a type or a category ?

But that mean a lot of SQL requests…

Of course I could make it like this

../wordpress-mu/classifieds/action/searching/type/job/category/computers, but it will be rather ugly…

Need your advices !

Thanks a lot guys !
