I just installed the free version of phpLD v2.2.0. Is there any way to load a preset list of categories or do you have to type in all the categories and subcategories you want manually? Does the paid version come with preset categories? Also, what mods do you recommend installing? Thanks for all the advice in advance!
Preset categories not comes with free as well as paid version of phpLD though you can find some catagory DB dumps for phpLD but it is always advisable to create your own categories for getting good results IMO. DON.
When you decided to go into directory business, you knew what you expected your directory categories to be like. So, creating custom categories seems to be the ideal thing to do.
Besides these you can also add below given mods at your phpLD. Sponsor Links/Banners No Submission to Top Categories Limit the number of Free (nofollow) Submissions/ day! Payment Mod (payment option such as paypal/moneybookers etc on submit page) DON.
Was going to mention those two aswell, but ive found Sponsor Links/Banners maybe not such a good idea these days Payment Mod very rarely used, 99% through paypal, most likely id be adding google checkout in the future as we can all see where thats heading. Also and upgrade mod available but again only once used on my directory.
