Hi everyone - new here!
I need a script to run a yellow pages type of directory. I think LSQL might be what I need, but am short on money to start with. Links 2 looks promising too, so I'm thinking about buying it first and if the site goes as I want it to and brings in some cash I'll upgrade to LSQL later.
A few questions -
1. How difficult would it be to upgrade to LSQL later on?
2. Can I change Links2 so that business name doesn't have to be an active link? Some of the businesses I'd like to list will not have websites. I need the script to allow people to add a listing that doesn't have a URL and post this listing not as a link. At the same time if a user does provide a URL, I still want that listing as an active link.
3. How difficult it is to change the fields for each listing? I want to add location and maybe a couple of other things.
4. How can I get rid of the most popular / ratings and votes system? I don't really want it on a business directory.
5. Most importantly - can I create a "premium listings" feature? That's where the $$$ should come from
. I want to have 2-3 types of premium listings with different formats (i.e. bold or large + bold or large+bold+icon). I prefer to be able to set those like I would the editor's choice.
Help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!
