Which script do you recomend

After reading some topics of this forum I realised that there are many successfull directories owners and who better then them to adive about the best scripts to use.

So, I'd appreciate if some of you could post which scripts do you think that are the best.

What other recomendations for a begginner ?

Thanks in advance.

 

well myself i would recommend phpld

but you could go for

indexu or any of the other scripts out there

 

PHPlinkdirectory.com is the widely used directory script with lot of free themes.

 

for a begginner I would say phpld actually for anyone really easy to install, with a full admin panel.

 

Ive chosen phpld for my first directory that im putting together.

I haven't had chance to try any others yet but indexscripts also interests me.

 

It interests me too a lot, will be trying it out soon on my new directories.It seems it has some potential

Cheers

 

indexscripts where can I find this one. I already know phpld and I'd like to try others.

Btw, regarding phpld do you recomend the free or paid version? I know that the paid version is better, but do you think it's necessary to be "successfull" ?

 

I have a nice collection of Scripts on this site.
http://www.thebestdirectories.com/links/directory-scripts/

 

I would suggest you PHPLD- easy admin panel, number of resources and god support that makes PHPLD a favorite script!

 

Hyperlinked it.

Use PHPLD since it's so widely used, don't go for a script that's not widely used because when you need help, you can hardly find people helping you with the script, but scripts like PHPLD is different, there're so many people using it that you've so many people to seek help from!

 

Here it is webbizo http://www.indexscript.com/download.php

Having only used the paid version of phpld so far i cant comment on the free version, but i guess if you check the features of each and see what you need from the script the most, then can decide if the free or paid version is most suitable for you.

Regarding to be "successfull" well i guess if your serious about your directory and need particular features then the paid is a good choice, but i would say the success is more down to the effort put into a directory.

 

I have 2 directories. One uses PHPLD, which gave me little trouble.

I have just implemented Freeglobes directory script at www.visualsearch.info/directory.

This is a beautiful script and easy to use, have a look at it. Currently this script is also free.

 

PHPLD, site-sift or custom

 

i would suggest http://www.esyndicat.com/

There is a free version of phpld? I cannot find it anywhere. On the site it says you must pay at least $25 to get the script. If someone can show me where to get a legal free version, I'll give them rep.

 

homepage, left column. (phpld2)

 

use phpLD ... thts the best free one out there right now.

spend $25 << its really worth getting the license.

 

.... or maybe you would like to try Site Sift another easy to use script. Its FREE.

Thanks

 

I have used a few scripts on my directories, but to be honest with you, I highly recommend taking a look the one that has worked flawlessly for me for the last two years.

It comes with a price tag for sure, but is extremely versatile and packed full of great features. I could really elaborate, but the web site says pretty much everything.
