Hello, i want to know...what is directory software avivadirectory.com & alivedirectory.com use? esyndicat or phplinkdirectory thanks for your info
just go to the alivedirectory.com/admin and this should reveal what they use, unless they decide to hide that part of the script.
PhpLd is the best directory software in the market right now, with lots of mods, designs, support & coders. I had a bad experience with Esyndicat.
I'd make a case for phpLynx being better than phpld but let's not get into arguments, its each to his own.
I wish another package would come out at some point, I'm surprised that no developers ever decided to go for it.
Go for what Mark? i'm all ears and so are phpLynx, what is it that isn't being made for your needs? p.m me.
Yes true. Here so many people use phpld and seems so many happy customer too. But i believe every one have different requirement, so i'd suggest to try as many as directory script. I know that so many directory webmasters own more than one script.
You don't even wanna go down the route of how many people are pissed at phpld, neither do I as it would be breaching confidence, lets just be happy to agree to disagree.
The Phoenix - do you own phplynx? Just curious as I see you post about it often and have not used the script yet (have used all versions of PHPLD, Esyndicat and Hot Links 3.0). Sorry if this is off topic....
No I don't own phpLynx but do program for them and have a few directories running using the full version, yes I have used both phpld and esyndicate and both imho in thier raw state are pretty weak and bug ridden. phpld is a little better than esyndicat but not much. you have to add far too many mods to the out of the box packages for my liking and need to rely way to much on support which I won't go into. Where did hotlinks 3 come in to it? I'll evaluate it by all means give me the hot link to it. (no pun intended). edit@ Just whipped through hotlinks 3, don't like it, seen too many things wrong with it out of the box, sorry I seem neg but when you got a great out of the box freebie like phplynx I'm going to be hard pressed to put anything before it.
I'm mostly surprised that nobody has ever made another directory script to stand up to phpLD by now! Personsally I hate Smarty code, and I don't have the time or patience to figure it out. I just wish there were a pure PHP and CSS based directory software package. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
To be honest, smarty will make easier to design the layout, but it can also lead to the wrong direction. If the developer use too many non-html code in smarty, then it will make someone like you become frustrating. Try indexu, we use smarty in better approach, 90% of template files are in html, we only use smarty to replace the variables and if then condition. While at the same time, advance users also happy to enhance their own layout with advance smarty function. In fact, you can see that many indexu powered websites look not similar each other and most of you will see it like custom script
IMHO phpLynx walks all over phpld and it isn´t the only script that does, but that´s just my opinion and the ever growing number of people trying out the script. Each to his own though.. Compare out of the box features Mark you´ll see what I mean.
Site-Sift is for you then. Forget about phpstynx(ala phplynx) as its encoded and you can't do nothing with it.
yeah thats one of the reason I don't use it as I hate encoding of scripts its as bad ioncube in articledashboard but I did try it at least
