Is there such a directory script?

    Hi,

    I'm pretty new to directory and am interested to start one myself. However, I have some questions with sorting of categories.

    Is there a directory script where we can add links to other relevant categories within a category page?

    For example, we are at this category page (Main > Shopping > Children).

    Within this category page, we can see links to:
    1. Main > Shopping > Clothings > Children's
    2. Main > Shopping > Toys
    3. Main > Education > Preschool
    .
    .
    etc.


    Can anyone advise please if you understand what I'm asking about? :)

    Thanks!

    phpld has a "Symbolic Categories" feature which allows cross-referencing across different categories.

    Have you looked at it?

    Arr.. yes. it's called Symbolic Categories. Thanks.

    The demo at phpld site doesn't show symbolic categories.

    Have you used this feature before or is there anyone who has this feature enabled on live/demo directories?

    From what i read, there will have an @ sign in front of the category title
    e.g. Main > @category name

    I would like to know if this is going to affect seo in any way? Any idea?

    Feel free to visit my directory, I use symbolic categories. Here is an example:
    Accounting Software Directory

    The categories on the right with '@' are symbolic categories.
