Project Description
We are looking for an experienced Joomla/PHP developer to customize our JClassifiedsManager website to work similar to DoneDeal.ie
Our website has 5 main sections: https://jobdone.ie/
Jobs
Cars
Properties
Communities
Services
We need a modern Ireland-only search and location system with radius search functionality.
Main Requirements
1. Ireland Location Database
Create/import Ireland counties and towns database
County → Town relationship system
Save latitude and longitude for each town/location
2. Search Module Customization
Build a DoneDeal-style search bar with:
Keyword search
Category/Section selector
County dropdown
Town dropdown (dynamic AJAX loading)
Radius selector (5km / 10km / 25km / 50km)
3. Radius Search
Implement geolocation search using coordinates:
Haversine formula or similar
Show ads within selected distance
Accurate nearby results
Just make the site working same as donedeal.ie,
Both extensions must share a consistent look and feel, and they should respond quickly on desktop and mobile. Clean PHP, Joomla MVC practices, and respect for future updates are essential. If you have experience refining keyword indexing, geo-lookups, and Ajax-powered filters in Joomla, let’s talk about your approach and timeline.
