PHP directory script?

Is there a site, or even forum for support? i can't seem to find any.

 

i take it your on about the biz directory right? if so there is none that i know of altho i think you get support etc if you buy the full script

 

If you buy the $50 version, it comes with private technical support and upgrade services.

 

yeah sorry the biz directory

 

I'm interested in starting a directory. Would you recommend the biz directory? What about www.cplinks.com? (also free) Any opinion? Thanks.

 

I am in the process of trying both.
Bluenoser Forum Directory is using cplinks, while
BluenoserLinks is using the biz directory.

As of right now I prefer the biz directory because mostly of sub-sub categories and you can do much more with it while it staying SE friendly

This may all change in a couple of months more when I have had more time to play with both of them

PS It is possible to make the directory look much better than I did with cplinks, I just haven't had the time lately....So don't use that as a con

 

Thanks for the informed opinion, capebretoner. How do you feel about the admin functions for each?

 

Right now I like the biz directory admin better, however cplinks has just come out with an update, and I haven't had time to install and try out.
Has anyone out there installed the cplinks update yet?

 

Biz Directory had a nice easy interface, but I can't seem to make the categories static 'cause I installed it to a subdirectory. Looks like I'll be messing with CPLinks tonight...

It´s very good

 

Thanks for the plug, Marcus.
Yes, there are certainly some very happy users.

 

I'm currently using phplinkdirectory and I'm surprised how good it actually is. Very easy to handle, looks very professionell. Downside: Uses Smarty which I hate

 

phplinkdirectory.com it is a good script, can look here an example: www.Search-Group.com

 

After reading this thread I've downloaded the script from phplinkdirectory.com, but I had a look at demos and it looks like dmoz, so is it the same script (or similar to) as was used in dmoz?

 

What? DMOZ? Of course it is a completely different script.
Maybe you got confused by seeing similar categories. Lots of people use similar categories that appear in DMOZ. I have posted a database of categories for starters for free in PHPLD forum that a lot of new PHPLD directories use and that category structure probably also follows DMOZ structure (not sure, I actually followed some other dirs).

 

i have only played with the biz-directory script, but i am very happy with it. It took a while for me to learn the structure, but once i did, it was easy to make modifications. If i were to go on and make a second directory (which i will soon..) i am going to use the biz directory script again, hands down.

if you want to check out teh directory, its in my sig below...

 

Even though I previously bashed phplinkdirectory, I have started using it... I actually merged all of my other directories into one single site (they were using a different script), and I am quite happy with the results so far. I have made some of my own modifications, but so far I am pleased with how it has worked for me.

 

I had made several script for small directories, probably you want to give it a try. It has an automated xml sitemap integration

 

I'm glad you are happy. I've worked hard on this for a couple of years now. I feel like we are starting to have a pretty strong user base, and with time, it will only get better.
