How do you plan to replace your blog posts into directory links? Aren't both different? Or do you plan to discard your wp blog completely and replace it with a directory script? Please be clear!
hmm, im not sure. But why do you want convert your WP blog? Why dont you just add a new directory let say "forum". example: ww.yourWPblog/forum..Then add a link from your WP blog's navigation to your forum. I guess phpbb3 would be good for forum building.
I was wondering myself if there is a plugin to add directory functionality to Wordpress so it would seamlessly integrate with the blog side. Couldn't find any info in the codex. Perhaps it's too complex to integrate that two sides.
Well I did found before a directory coded in WP. So that was I'm asking. I guess its customed made I will try to code it myself then.Seems a bit hard.
I finally found something about converting you wordpress into a forum. And here is the news at: www.jeffro2pt0.com/use-wordpress-like-a-forum However, i guess they still working for that plugin. But there is still hope, why dont you try to integrate your wordpress with bbpress (is from the makers or wordpress): www.bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ the "how to integrate" sections is in: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-integrate-bbpress-09-with-wordpress-23-or-lower cheers! p.s. sorry guys no live links, the forum wouldnt permit me, lol
I have created a directory at at site (one way links) in our footer which is powered by WP. The way I figured it was - you still need to login, you still need to review submissions, so i created a form whcih was part of a package we have and connected it to PayPal. It it just a matter of manually adding the details and you are away.
