Web directories are…well they are not the coolest thing thing going on the web. Infact I have never used them before. It’s either straight to Google to find something I want or a recommendation from a friend. However my interest has grown of recently largley to Dan’s new web directory Info Now Web Directory.
So I have looked around for a php based web directory and found PHP Link Directory. I’ve got a cool domain seetheweb.co.uk (which I’m not linking to just yet) simply becuase it’s a bloody nightmare working with the program and do not want it spidered. I think it looks good and will be easy to work with once I get it up and running. The community seems to be good for support and that is one of the major reasons why I have stuck with it.
There are however two problems I have encountered with PHP Link Directory. The first one being the URLrewrite. There are some mods on the forums that create the rewrite rule for you but they don’t seem to work for me. The other problem is the submit button. It used to work fine but it goes a bit funny every now and then….basically it’s just hanging. Anyway I’m starting all over again and going to try and work with the latest version and see where that gets me.
