PHPmydirectory is a very robust directory script and has a lot of very attractive features. I’ve used this script on several sites. This script is set up to include detail pages for every listing and is mostly for listing businesses. Each detail page allows businesses to include their full details including address, phone #, URL, images, banners and products. It is by far the best script for running a business Yellow Pages type directory.
It produces static URLs and includes a great admin section. Some of the features it offers that aren’t found in other directory scripts include:
- Image Galleries - Add, edit, delete images from the image gallery. Includes automatic thumbnailing and resizing. Users may click thumbnailed images to view a larger version. Images are searchable by the image description.
- Product Galleries - Add, edit, delete images from the product gallery. Includes automatic thumbnailing and resizing of product images. Users may click thumbnailed images to view a larger version. Users may set expiration dates of products and include payment button code. Products are searchable.
- Documents Gallery - Add, edit, delete images from the product gallery. Allowed document types are defined by the admin along with limited file sizes. Documents are searchable by their description.
- Reviews - View and add reviews for listings. Allow visitors to add reviews for listings, and view the reviews left by other visitors right from the listing display page.
- Ratings System - Star rating system is included for all listings. Allow users to rate listings on a scale and display a 5 star display showing their ranking.
- Maps - Administrator definable choice between Yahoo or Google in page maps. The in page maps use the Yahoo/Google API to display a dynamic map of the listings location. The administrator may also opt to simply display a “View Map” link instead of an in-page map.
You might want to give PHPmydirectory a try if you are looking to start a yellow pages type directory.
