I want to build a new site that will allow members / users to rate and review restraunts. I can't seem to find a module that quite suits my needs so I'm wondering if anyone can maybe suggest one or point out one that might be worth hacking.
I'l like it to be searchable by location, name, category, keyword. The standard XOOPS search should be good enough for that.
Any ideas?

What modules have you looked into so far?

Thanks gestroud for replying.
I was looking at modules like mylinks which is very limited and xDirectory which has some good features. You can list a company and details such as addresses, phone no's etc... The listings can be categorised too. You can also rate the listings but you cannot comment on them which is a shame.
I also considered making use of one of the forum modules but they don't quite fit the bill as they are not quite specialised enough and a bit too generic if you follow me?
I want members to be able to quickly enter the details of a cafe or restaurant and their impression of it (rating & comments). Other users should be able to add their comments and rating too. All listings and comments should be searchable.
I also feel that the personal messaging aspect would work well as users will be able to contact each other to discuss a particular premises. This is not a problem though and is well catered for by xoops.

In a few months time I would be able to point you to the EFQ directory module, which can be found at: http://www.efqdirectory.com. At the moment it is still under heavy development and only a first Alpha has been released last month. But it will provide you with all your needs when it is completely ready, so just keep an eye on the module's development.

If you would like to test the Alpha release and provide feedback and suggestions development might even go faster .

You could try the My Reviews module found here:

https://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=57&lid=1383

the addresses module:

https://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=81&lid=1101

or the Web Links module:

https://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=40&lid=1473

You'll probably want to experiment with them a little. I think that My Reviews will suit your needs best. The way it sets up is you post a product/restaurant and allow your site's visitors to review it.

Nice one lads - I'm off to have a look at both of them now. Just noticed though that xDirectory DOES have the capacity to comment on listings so I think I'll keep it with my options.
Thanks for the quick responses!

Hey wtravel, I just downloaded your directory module and left a comment on it on your site.
Looks like you're onto a dymamite module
