Hi,
Please forgive if this topic has been discussed. I've searched and came close, but no go. If it has, just point me to it, please.
I am building a business directory site that I want people to be able to search by category as well as by city.
I've gotten the browse mod that Eliot posted so that it will list all categories in the database with the number of listings for that category. But, since this will become a long list, and noone wants to scroll from a to z, I'd like to Break these down. I was thinking of an a to z list that would take them to a page of all categories. At that point thaey could click on a category and bring up the listings.
The second way to search is by city. I'm covering three counties with a total of 103 cities. I know I can use the browse mentioned above to list all cities. I'd like to break this down by county and have a three column table with the name of the county at the top and then the cities listed.
I hope I've made myself clear enough that someone can understand me.(After reading it over, it seems like I'm rambling.)
Thanks
