Does anyone knows what script is this? http://www.directoryworld.net/ Check submit page, it looks very familiar, but can't remember which script this is. Thanks, Marko
I actually run a number of his scripts. They are excellent & the backup support is great too. I've used them for directories & as a CMS, even use one to manage my SEO locally. Here's a few of mine: www.absolute-australia.com.au/directory www.webnetguide.com www.inetdevguide.com/directory They are also mobile ready.
A fair amount of time was put into getting the script as fast as possible. The default skins use XHTML and CSS which tends to keep the pages lightweight and the script by default compresses the page data when it sends it to the browser. The script also uses a page caching system which reduces the number of database queries it has to make to generate a page, on large directories this can be quite a significant reduction.
Hi, I downloaded sample template for your script and took a look at files. I think I would be able to make a custom template for it, but I would need some help and explanation. Do you have some kind of tutorial or tags index - or if you don't you provide some kind of support on this for your customers?
If you download the trial then in the admin interface under documents there's a skinning text, it lists all the skin files and which do what. Generally you just need to keep the block tags intact, those are the ones that look like <!--@name--> ... <!--/name-->, for the most part anything between them is repeated by the script to build lists or listings and so on. Blocks are also used to hide HTML that isn't needed at runtime. The default templates have all the tags in them and correctly placed. There's a page.dwt file which is a Dreamweaver template which controls the overall page look with the template specific bits in the editable sections. If you get stuck just ask either via a ticket at https://www.tolranet.com/support/ or in the forums, http://forums.tolranet.com/
The script will fit into pretty much any template you design. I've made it seamless into many sites templates. If you know a little HTML, you'll find it easy.
One thing I forgot to mention is when you are designing you need to clear the page cache via the admin interface under Maintenance to see your changes in the HTML. You can also disabled the cache by removing the // from the line: //define('WDNOCACHE', 1); in wdcfg.php, obviously you need to put them back once you are ready to go live and flush the cache.
Thank you. In case you didn't realise you can download the trial version and use it to build your skin and experiment.
There's no ? or & in the URLs therefore it's easy for search engines to index. Which bit do you think isn't friendly? The script does supports different URL forms.
