CLASSIFIED ADS features

-----------
Depending of the category, the ads fields will change, so ads_type will permit
to define types of ads that can be assigned then to categories. If a
category has not a defined type, it will take the one of the nearest parent
that have one.
When a category has subcategories, the user will not be able to add ads in
that intermediate category.
Each display templates will contain all the values of the ads, so the
designer can choose to change something.
Like we can see in 'type', we will have at least three kind of list
(normal, detail, thumbnail) and the ability to add other if needed.
The listing will be compound of the list_*_tpl where all the list entries
(list_*_entry_tpl) will be concatenated and put in.
If the category has the adult flag, we need to ask the user if he is an
adult and store this information in the session (if he is an adult).
When listing ads, the user will be able to sort them by every field. But
remember to always sort premium ads fisrt (in fact use type
sort_importance).
Validation function will be the function that check fields validity and if
not valid will return an error message array.
It's important that function like for example list(), that will take get
parameters to display the right type of list, the page of some category
will be generally called from show() as part of the whole page generation
can also be called directly from ajax(). So that same function could be
a first time be called with a new page and in a second time use ajax to
only refresh that element.

Ajax ready:
Each major function to display things must be easily calable by an ajax
call to refresh only a part of the page.
{"Class::function(param|param2)"|ajax:"div_id"}
=>
"url/ajax.php?call=Class::function(param|param2)
And there must be a list of calable functions.
