Directory Script?

[Meti]

Hey,

What directory script are you using? What's your view? Please don't go off-topic, this topic is strictly related to directory scripts.

I am using the paid version of IndexU relatively good script, but I think there can be a few improvements done, but the best way is to mod the script yourself and develop custom features.

I use pro version of esyndicat script for my www.mylinkreview.com, find it pretty cool with lot of plugsin and features. But i must admit poor support from staff at esyndicat, and the upgrade is a hassle.

I currently have two directories and run phpLD on both. I was the first script that I used when I started with directories and I never use any other scripts. I like the script, it is very easy to install and set up in the admin panel. There are a lot of template options out there and most are free.

Hi

I am using phpmydirectory and I like it, there are alot of features built into the product that makes for a potentially very good directory. I do like the fact that ratings and reviews can be left by users of the site.

We have 4 directories on phpld
and
one other that we have run for 8 years running on our own script but its based on .asp not .php

I developed my own at BungeeBones.com. It has been a challenge but worth it.

I guess I can't say I developed all of it because I started with the open source script YALD but I have customized a lot of it.

I added rating ability by both the public and other webmasters.

I changed the login and session handling to an object oriented class.

I added a different navigation system that is quite unique. For the subcategories I have them come under an alphabetical pagination system, as opposed to numeric. But unlike most alph pagination systems, I only create as many pages as necessary and display the letters of the names they contain. Most give you a list of the 26 letters and you end up clicking on empty pages.

I converted it into a subscription service where the directory can be installed on other websites with just a few lines of code and be fed from my server a la Adsense style. The website owners can then just kick back and let me review the links etc

I tied a social bookmarking script into it that I called "Webmaster Favorites" thinking that everyday average surfers might find the recommendations of webmasters as credible.

The real challenge for me will be whether it can stand up to a lot of traffic, if and when I get it.

You all are welcomed to add a free link and it does have pretty good PR (pr5).
