Hi, I am jumping right into the directory arena with a large budget. Domain, hosting and phpld 3.2 are in place. But that is as far as I have come so far My thinking is that I focus my energy on building a strong directory rather than installing every last mod there, is. Would you say I am thinking right? The only mod that seems exciting to me is the deeplinks mod. Could someone suggest a good deeplinks mod? Thanks Ajeet
Use an0n ( http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=21186 ) deeplinks mod. Costs some $ but the mod is great and the support is even better. I have it at some directories of mine.
actually i ran across a blog that has so many mods for phpld your head will spin off..http://www.mywebsearches.com/blog/category/phpld-mod-list/complete-list-for-phpld-mods/ Im currently re-building most off mine at the present moment and will be using many off these mods both paid and free as not everything in life is free and sometimes a few bucks is the best bet if you seek quality. thx malcolm
The most popular deeplink mod is from anOn. But there are others such as this one 161 Deep Links with descriptions mod for phpLD V. 3.1+ (MadDog): 89 deeplinks mod (Rakcha.com): You can find more detail info for each one if you visit my list.
ummmm excuse me... mr maddog didnt come out with that "first" as i had silkysmooth do it on my sleek and biz-king at the time an0n was doing his deep links thing... If your going to give "credit" for that mod then please give it to silkysmooth as he deserves it for his effort thx malcolm
ummmm! This is the description I got from him (MadDog). I even asked him about it http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17332 I was not aware that silkysmooth had one. Let me check on this before I can say anything else.
I think I will go with the one by an0n And I must saw that I am thrilled to see the great directory community here If I may, could I ask one more question? On each page of the directory (i.e. at the subcat level), I would like to place a different original article. I think this will go a long way in indexing, ranking, and setting the theme of the page. Do you have any suggestions on how I could do that? Thanks Ajeet
I believe with the articles mod thats incorporated with phpld 3.2 your able to do that just put your article in each or use a feed
Something like this? http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=440126 147 Article MOD V.3.2 (Freewebspace): New Article MOD for PHPLD 3.2. By this you can write article by yourself and you can add some unique content to each of your categories and pages. You can also use phpld3.2 it comes with a article feature.
yes ajeet the Mod by freewebspace worked, and i did it in my Regional Directory. You can see the example of an article in category - Asia
Sizzler had a question... Are you using the regional database from phpld? Im thinking that duval had something special for regional directories.??? am i right or dreaming Just curious... thx malcolm
Nah not at all.. I manually added each and every category and everything by my own, everything took half a day. its original from my side. It is a normal phpld 3.2.0 of regional niche! Here is what you are talking about i think - http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/archive/index.php/f-16.html
An0n is the best option Just PM him and pay him the amount with your ftp details and it will be done asap
ok i knew i hadnt lost my mind yet I remember a thread about that and was thinking of converting one off my domains www.eregion.net to regional being the name fits Very good category construction and work you did on it ...congrats thx malcolm
And good thinking it is, if you bought every mod out there you'd be surely out of pocket at a rate of speed. I'm not going to even go to promote my own script as you asked for a phpld deeplink mod, I'm just going to hint that there's other scripts out there with all you need already built in. Does seem like you've gone for phpld though so good luck.
Thanks for the words malcolm Still working on the article things and the directory would be completely ready and unique very soon
