Any good scripts that I can convert to from biz directory script?

    Hey,
    I'm using biz directory script right now for my site but I want to convert to something with more features.

    What I really want is something that makes my work a lot quicker and easier (Approving submissions, checking for broken links, premium listings etc.).

    I am spending a lot more time than I want on the site so I would like something that is a little more automated and has built in features to make it easier for me to manage listings.

    I also want to have something to make a little more money from my directory (Making next to nothing now and it's taking a lot of time) - I would like to have premium and free listings.
    I was going to code this myself to biz directory but they don't allow it.

    Thanks

    I'm not sure about converting your data but WSN Links is a good script if you reallt spend time tweaking your directory to the way you like it.

    I was looking for the same thing, wanted to switch to the sitesift-script, but at the moment it seems kinda hard to convert all the data.

    Maby when Mia has their script ready it will be easier to convert to that script. I believe it should be ready later this year.. I also know that Stuart is working on a solution for this, maby it will be available in the pro-version of sitesift-script.

    For the conversion to phplinkdirectory script send a PM here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=6250 and he can covert the sql data into the phplinkdirectory format.

    your biz directory implementation looks good. I would recommend you one of the following scripts:

    WSN Links
    PHPLinkDirectory
    Site Sift Listings
    CPLinks

    Regarding converting data, send me a pm, and I can help you convert your data to/from the biz directory data.

    Thanks, I had a lot more plans but the license limits me on biz directory.

    Talking to you on PM honey, just want to hear if anyone else converted from biz directory to phplinkdirectory?

    It looks good to me but I want to know how the conversion process works out.
    I actually PMed David on the site a few days ago about converting to phplinkdirectory.

    Thanks

    You will need customization work as there is no ready script in market which will convert biz directory script

    dvduva,

    I sent you a private message about data conversion. Could you please let me know if this possible?

    Thanks,
    Venkata
