    I like it and will add it. Do you have a description to send on over?

    I'm heading out now to party, so it will either be very late tonight or afternoon tomorrow when I get to it.

    I'll explain what it is that I am doing :)

    Rob.

    Whatever man, I'm just trying to help you out. :D

    Most online businesses are self-run or run from home - large corporate ones with their own address are usually already listed in the phone books! :rolleyes:

    What does your site have to offer since it's rejecting businesses etc without physical addresses dedicated to it?
    That's what I want to know!

    No need for hard feelings big man! I'm getting information, that's all! :)

    Thanks An0n, I have an idea what it is and look forward to seeing it, we're tying some loose ends up at our end at the moment, once that's done I'll get a code sent to you for you to play around with. You don't have a sneak preview by chance do you?

    @Bruce(swedal)
    I've added you and sent a PM explaining.

    @EGS
    Don't worry, I didn't take offense to anything, I only gave my opinion. :)
    I've always been on the side of innovation and will try to continue and further things as best to my ability as I can.

    @JamieG
    I'm looking forward to seeing how I can try and port this over into other scripts.


    (sorry for delayed response...I am recouping from last night :()

    Very nice mod Rob. I have been playing around with some different searches. Thanks for showing it to me.

    It basically allows you to search the directory with a keyword for businesses in proximity to a zip code. For example if you wanted to find a real estate office near a certain zip code you put in a keyword real estate and the zip code your interested in and it will return all real estate listings within a radius which the searcher specifies. Plus you can choose to return the results in order of distance.

    It really simplifies the search process for visitors and saves them time when they are looking for a local business. Plus the results return plotted out on a map so you can easily find the location.

    To think that directories are only needed for the purpose of listing businesses which have no physical location is missing the mark. Directories are for any business with an internet presence. Most of them actually do have an address which they would like possible clients to know and this mod goes a long way towards making it easier for clients to find you.

    Just like you said Rob it goes way beyond just showing a map on the details pages and allows visitors much more customized searches to quickly find the resources they need.

    I don't mind directories that ask for all of that information. Most legitimate, successful businesses have a mailing address and some type of office. I know all of our clients do, small or large.
