I am looking for a script searchable directory script. Something in the lines of Dmoz. Such as.

Category - Pizza Shops.
Category - Internet.

I can add sites to the categories, and then users can either click and browe the categories, or search all of them for a keyword.

If you know of anything worth taking a look at. Please post a message with link etc...

Thanks,
Anthony

Not quite sure if your lookN to develop your own db of sites within your s/engine or if your wanting something that already has content/sites?

Maybe these links will jump start your engine! '-)

A custom script is usually best. I'll write it for $100 pre-paid (non-negotiable).

Yes hotscripts is probably the best place to find what you are looking for, but if you arn't familiar with coding yourself it may be best to have custom scripting. Check us out for a totally affordable quote: support@chewnet.com :)

$100 isnt bad for that project.

Comparing to the outside world, $100 is not a price to complain about at all!

But WHT do seem to bring down these prices, for the better I don't know. :)

$300 is a fair price, but to sell something at WHT, you usually have to state a rock-bottom price. That's why I stated $100 and non-negotiable. I doubt if anyone here would pay a fair price of $300, let alone a cheap $100 price.

I have a feeling they want it for $10 or nothing at all. When people on WHT say they are willing to pay for something, it's simply not true most of the time. Quite often, they try to wear you out with emails, and still expect to get it for nothing in the end.

ChrisB, I will be in touch with you soon, I see it being viable to have a custom script. It isnt really anything spectacular needed, just something that will work well, and not drain all resources. Thanks for the excellent price!

Hi Anthony,
I will be happy to do it, but I want to warn you that it may take me some time (1-2 weeks? because I'll have to work on it off and on) so you may rather go with someone else this time. Unfortunately, I have had some pressing issues arise since I posted that which must take priority.

BTW, what you need is exactly one of the things I do best in perl. JFYI, I have written many search scripts, multiple search and replace scripts, and multiple directory scripts that find things in directory trees.

PS My comments about most people at WHT wanting something for nothing were not directed at you specifically.
