I know there are posts on this but I cant find them - I'm after opinions on Business directory scripts I can use for Aussie businesses - must have radius search & preferred listings- Ive looked at-
Joomla Extensions Sigsiu - its free but the add ons mentioned above
are pricey - and there is a lot to learn to run it
otherwise phpMyDirectory - Web Portal, Business Directory, Classifieds, Link Indexing is looking a better option - with add ons its a bit cheaper and looks easier to use -
Do you know of any others that have radius search (for aust.) & preferred listings
Thanks in advance
Danny

Danny,

Have you checked out esyndicat at esyndicat.com?

I used it a while ago and it was very good although I'm not sure about your radius search query.

Danny I am using PHP Link Directory Script might be worth checking out.

I also have a site with PHP Link Directory Script, but there are times I wish I had went with PHPMyDirectory

Danny Turner

Hi Guys - thanks for the input
both look good but dont have radius search (sorts listings by proximity to a nominated zip code)
Directory Script, Free Directory Software :: eSyndiCat Directory Software - looks easy to use
I like the article submission feature on PHP Link Directory Script
thanks again

SusanneUK

Your Welcome and addmission time, I didn't answer the part of your post regarding whether php link had "radius search" because that went totally over my head LOL so thanks for the extra explanation.

Good luck with your search

You may want to check out BizDirectory at idevspot.com. I use it for my cities Business Directory. It uses Google Maps and will search by zip code, region, county and also country.

hi ronnlisa,
thanks for your input
I had looked at BizDirectory 2.x :: Business Directory Software :: PHP & MySQL but had dismissed it as too basic but maybe a bit hasty there
the beauty of a radius search script is it has all zip codes (postcodes in Aus)
with lattitude and longitude built in so it will bring up all listing in order of proximity to zipcode searched - with a simple zipcode search if there are no exact matches you get "no matches found" at which point you think mmm useless site and move on....
the Joomla Sigsiu addon has stacks of countries covered where phpMyDirectory has Nth America UK and Aus

Thanks again for input - if anyone has any others I'm sure someone will be interested - perhaps you could include favourite features - why you use it
cheers
Danny

Hi,

I'm looking for a business directory script which is in German (and if possible also in French and Italian)...

It's is hard to do good internet services and products in Switzerland, due the 4 national languages...

I'm thankfull for every help...

no1 in all the catagry will be phpld no doubt

I went with phpMyDirectory - Web Portal, Business Directory, Classifieds, Link Indexing - so far very happy - has the zip/radial search and a German language option

Have a look at Web 2.0 Directory - it claims translations into up to 18 languages based upon the individual user's preference.

It can be found at salephpscripts. c o m

Note that phpLD has a translation widget. We also have done many customizations over the years that are more extensive. phpLD has a GREAT German translation already, and had been translated into many languages.

Hey,

the best,in my opinion, is PHP Link Directory Script.

This is due to the multiple functionality that it possesses. You can use articles as well as other services.

The key here is that you should really use Wordpress and get some script to work with it via a Plugin.

JOHN_RODRIGUEZ

I just picked up DirectoryPress - Wordpress Directory Theme, but I haven't played with it enough to give you a recommendation.

I hear you about the plugin. We get a lot of requests for Wordpress integrations and we have already been working with a few customers on this. We also have built a clientele of customers who come to us for wordpress work. So I anticipate "something" to be released that will fulfill this obvious need. Thanks for your vote of confidence in us.

Directory Script for Wordpress - DirectoryPress

dvduval
