Hi Martijn-

Thanks for stepping up. I know that I am personally willing to donate funds for the development of this module.

Depending upon the viability and the consensus of the other contributors (if any), I have a small "wish list" which includes the previously mentioned features as well as a few others:

Quote:
1) Place a single listing in multiple categories (without having to duplicate the listing in the database)

2) Adding custom fields to the input form and the database - For example, I'll need several text fields and a couple of drop-down 'select' menus. If possible, I could also use a 'select' list box that allows multiple selections to be made (by holding the ctrl key).


3) I'd also like to resurrect the "Alphabetical" listings idea (in addition to the regular categories), so that users can browse by category or by letter, as needed.

4) And the good old "Search" function idea, for the xDirectory only (not a site-wide Search)

I'm sure other people will have additional requests.

Thanks again, Martijn. I look forward to working with you

-Veronica

Just wondering if any further progress was made toward two requests previously made by other users:

1) Place a single listing in multiple categories (without having to duplicate the listing in the database)

2) Adding custom fields to the input form and the database - For example, I'll need several text fields and a couple of drop-down 'select' menus. If possible, I could also use a 'select' list box that allows multiple selections to be made (by holding the ctrl key).

If anyone has info on any hacks, 'official' mods or anything else that might help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'd also be willing to pay for these features to be developed and will make the resulting code/new module available for all. I would do it myself, but I'm new to PHP and don't have the time to struggle my way through it right now. Therefore, I don't mind compensating someone else for their time.

Like oddb0d, I am also looking for a way to put a single listing in multiple categories. I'm not crazy about the idea of having multiple copes of the same listing in the database, for numerous reasons.

I have looked at the Weblinks module and according to the author, it has the following feature:

> 1. The number of categories
> One link can belong to two or more categories.
> It is possible to set up arbitrary numbers.
> A default number is 4.

Which is exactly what I need for Xdirectory. My question is, would it be possible to take the pertinent code from the Weblinks module and paste it into the Xdirectory module? If so, what code would I need to insert?

If not, does anyone have an idea for a hack?
