I fixed the SQL file and overwrote the old zip file. Thank you Bobdt for catching that.

Here's the biggest bug in this release:

1) when you try and validate a submission it only enters the title and web address back into the database. This is because the insert statement is incorrect and I've been unsuccessful in trying to fix it.

If anyone is able to find and fix any bugs they find in the module please contact me and I'll include it in the zip file so everyone can benefit.

I've only tested it on XOOPS v2.0.3

I wouldn't be able to replicate the error unless I upgrade and I'm not ready to do that until the current bugs are worked out on v2.0.4.

Is this a fresh install of XOOPS or an upgrade?

keep developing it!

The module I'm working is strickly for a business listing so site owners can offer they're users a phone directory of local businesses and possibly generate revenue from those businesses.

It looks like you are creating a really nice personal/public address book. I would keep working on it to offer the XOOPS community an alternative to the xDirectory. I'm sure everyone would agree.

It's nice to have choices! right now we have some nice choices with calendars and content modules. Keep Programming!

Cheers!

Ok, Here is the xDirectory module zipped up and ready for testing.
I've set it up with it's own DB tables instead of sharing the tables
with the MyLinks module. This works out much better.

Here a few thing to watch out for:
1) I tried to go through and replace every instance of the word "link"
with the word(s) "business listing" and "listing" but I'm still finding them turn up here and there.
2) you may find some table and cell styles hard coded in some of the files. I'm lazy
3) you may also find some of my site specific verbiage hard coded into some of the pages as well. I'm still lazy

Other than that the module seems to work very well!

If you make any enhancements to the script please let me know!

Enjoy!

Right now, I have it set up to hide the website address and e-mail if there is no information in the DB but it will show up when one is added. I just don't have any of that information in the DB at the moment.

I want to keep the web links because it's a useful service to show a list of business with websites only. Plus it makes for another revenue opportunity.
I've also made SOME changes(I still have more to make) to MyLinks module to only show businesses with URL's since they share the same DB. It's not fully working yet but i'll post when it's all ready to view.

I created a business directory using the MyLinks module as my base and modifying the MyLinks DB to accomodate address, city, state, phone, etc. I have it working really well but I need to add a few things that are a little out of my range before it's ready for official release.

You can check out the xDirectory Module currently running on my site.

I've done alot of the tedius work but now I would like to create a few more things that would make it a very usable module.
First I would like to create a section at the top of each category listing page where I can have sponsored listings(like yahoo) I would also like to list all the sponsored listings on the home page instead of the latest listings.

If someone out there would like to help I'll provide a download of what I have now.

If anyone can think of anything else it needs let me know.
