Directory script ...which one to use?

Hi,

Just wondering what are the real good ones out there?

How many sub-categories can these scripts let you have? For eSyndicat I only see 3 sub-categories the most, ROOT > Sub > subby 2 > Sub 3

I sorta wanted to try out a directory that can be very local and perhaps need 5-6 sub-categories the most? Does eSyndicat and PHPLD offer this many?

Thanks

 

PhpLD 3.1 Will be a great asset for you. You can find thousands of directories using it. So if you are serious then close your eyes and get a license

 

I have been playing with the phplynx script quite a lot lately so I thought I would look into this question for you.

http://www.phplynx.com/demo/arts_and_culture/Artists/Artists/sub1/sub2/sub3/

this structure is on the demo site, and i am pretty sure it can go a lot deeper then this, I dont think there is actually a limit for them.

Hope this helps.

Oh by the way you can try the free version yourself by downloading it from the http://cantufind.com/forums/

Thanks

I'd get PHP link directory, or site-sift

 

Always have and always will... Vote for eSyndiCat - them guys really know what they are doing!

 

my vote is always for phpLD 3.1

its the best there is to exist.... they have awesome support, and is updating every day... quality free templates to download ... and the most popular and easy to manage..

and its not even expensive ...$25 for a license.

 

PHPld 3.1 has been very good, I now own 3 of them I guess I like it. PHPld 2.1 is good too for what it is FREE! But don't let the Free thing fool you, it's still very powerfull. 3.1 jus have more options.

 

Are you talking about sub categories on the front page Leapard? It's a subject that come up with some of my users at phpLynx With this you can have unlimted numbers of main categories and I'm certain my programmers could modify the code to show unlimited sub cagegories under these.

Not forgetting to mention the phpLynx is FREE and no modifications are ever charged for if they are there to only better enhance the script. Look forward to perhaps seeing you over at the forum.

 

i agree with this!A great asset

 

You can have an unlimited number of subcategory levels on phpLD. There are a couple of cases of phpLD directories having over 2 million categories.

I invite you to take a look at some of the site of the month winners for phpLD

The newest winner (for January) is www.delightfulblogs.com

 

i think phpld is great for you, i have set up about 20 sites by phpld.

 

phpld is definatley worth considering.

 

I would look at alot of scripts out there before making a decision.

Try to see demos, get reviews and look at speed. If the directory runs slow, then it will cause a load on your server and your viewers will spend days waiting for pages to load.

I think the major ones are esindicat, nicecoder, phpld and theres this phplynx and this new bidding directory which is getting real popular, i don't know where its at but its out there.

 

Its always good to have a change and try something new and never always stick to what others do... i have plans on using phplynx and Site sift in the coming future!!! lets see how it goes!!!

 

I followed advice like this and got to the phpLynx script after trying the demos of a few of the others. Nothing wrong with the others they all have merits in different fields but the lynx for me had that little extra vision, but it is only my opinion.

phpLynx powered directory coming soon.

 

If you can spend some money than I will recommend PHPMyDirectory. Great script, only bad thing is that some important classes are encoded.

 

lol @ this thread being pulled up again after 3 months

 

i have been a user at phpmydirectory and i think its a very nice directory script to use, just have a look.

 

hi,

anyone know of an open source directory script?


i don't want a free script, it just needs to be open source.


thanks.

 

my vote goes to indexu

it looks like this www.webcatalogue.eu
