I have a lot of users adding Free hosted websites to my directory i.e http://www.lycos.com/Page ,
I want to create add URL page where user:

1- First enter his URL.
2- Add URL script will check the URL if it is Free hosted
3- List Personal Category only.
4- Otherwise, list all other category.

I hope someone can help in this.

Regards,

If you go to Setup > User Options in the Admin, and set 'user_required' to 'Yes',
you (as the administrator) will recieve an email telling you of newly added links.

The email will contain the URL that is being added.
When you go to validate the link, if the url is a free hosting site,
you can just switch the category to the personal category.

thank you Chris,

It is a good idea but I need to automate this process since I have more than 50 sites added every day.

Hello Rak,

How do u expect the add url script to figure out if the site is free hosting or not? in addition, there are some sites that offer free hosting, but also have paid hosting options.

In your case, why not make a note on add listing page that 'clearly' tells end users what type of listing should be submitted and what listings will not accepted. This method usually works, especially if your web site requies login.
