Hello,

i am looking to find a system similar to the way http://www.ukwda.org/search.asp this website works; In that, i want to be able to give users the ability to create a account which in turn will create a listing in a directory like the one on this website.

I am pretty well up on how to use scripts etc etc, but can someone tell me what kind of system i need to use please?

I appreciate your time and advice. Thank you!

Kind Regards,
Andy MacDonald

I was a little confused at first but once you click "I agree" on that page you can get into the full directory.

Welcome to the forums, Andy! Stop by and introduce yourself when you get a chance Smiling

Hopefully someone will be along to help you soon. I know there are more than a few php/database experts around here! Laughing out loud

I did a very, very quick search, and was unable to pull up anything that did exactly what you wanted. That's a fairly simple project, though, and might be something you can do, if you're willing to learn a little PHP and mySQL.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for taking the time to try and help me. I really appreciate your effort. I have come across a content management system called Joomla, and it has a module you can download from their exchange which incorporates a directory into the system. Been playing around with it for a few hours and it looks like it will do most of what i want, and what it doesent do, i can do myself so thats excellent.

Once the site is done, i will pop a post on this thread so you can have a quick look at the result.

Again, cheers for your time and effort Tim. Thank you!

Kind Regards,
Andy MacDonald
