Whats a good but free directory script?

It dosen't have to be anything too complex, but I would like something with the following features atleast some of them.... well a control panel, Categories, Instant approval for submissions, and the ability to manage(editing and deleting) Submissions. And this would be for a free directory I don't want to accept payments, But it would be a nice addition if that would be possible too. Thanks

 

ok cool

I will have to check it out

 

I do agree. The PHP Link Directory Script is very good and I used it a while ago for a link directory I created. Unfortunately link directories are not as powerful as they once were so instead I create a lot of article directories now which are often much more easy to monetize.

phpld is by far the best
even the free version is great

 

Yea, I'm going to try it, I need to think of a good name though, it should launch soon

Article directory, How does it work, any free scripts for it?

 

I suggest phpLD, theres the free version.

 

I think this question must get asked at least once a day, and the answer is always the same when people shove phpld down the throat of the OP.

My advice as always, try out several scripts, as many as you can, see what best suits you and then select one. Read up on bugs, how much additions would cost you, how much would support cost you and so on. If you really are serious about entering the directory world you won't mind doing your homework first, it wll help you in the long run.

 

Agreed. Research should come with any business venture.

Some people have a hard enough time isntalling a basic script, let alone converting from script to script.

 

Can't speak for other scripts but we're more than happy to help with converting from phpld, esyndicat, site-sift and some others we know we can cope with quite easily.

 

Ok.. thats respectable. I read somewhere that you will convert to your script for free, but would you be willing to convert back to the original script if your script didnt satisfy the customer? I know it's as easy as a backup, but for some it's a matter of convinience.

 

Yea, but I have a little to spend, but I like to try stuff thats free first and then go from there. I mean I keep all my directories running if I open one to the public. Usually I just buy a domain for $6 and host it on my server and see how it goes. Usually it pays for itself and new projects if you put some work into it

 

You wouldn't have to if the potential customer kept his old database. As good a question as it is I'd wonder would other scripts do what your asking about? I doubt it very much.

 

You might give it a try: http://www.gnifi.com (Its free and will be released soon)

 

hi, please try esyndicat directory.. lots of features

you can see the demo here:
http://omega.esyndicat.com/

 

qlWebDS has what you're looking for. However automatic approvals are only available in the paid version.

 

Read the OP's post as he is asking for a FREE script not a paid one. Trying to shove a paid version down people's throats is not doing the script any favours.

 

Thank you everyone, I found the script I was looking for. It was very helpful, I now have a directory and its getting about 100 submissions a day

 

Give me a break. Maybe you should read my post again.

 

Yea, and I did ask for a script that had any of the features didn't have to have all of them
