Hi,

I'm looking for someone to code me a business directory module. Here is how it needs to work.

Basically we want a visitor to be able to add their business listing for free. All listing will go into a pending area for approval. Business listings will be by category.

When they setup a free listing it will ask if they want a enhanced listing of which they must pay a small fee.

The listing needs to be able to have a link to their web site or an internal page.

They should be able to update their listings with new phone number, address etc.

We would like to keep track of their email addresses if they opt-in

We also would like to have a sponsored area above each category.

I don't think this would be to difficult of a project. Please let me know who would be interested in giving me a quote on doing this.

Thanks,

Craig

I'm not sure this is as simple as you say.

The visitor would probably need a username and password to be able to modify his/her listing. Would it be using the user tables provided by soho or will it use its own?

If the user opts to having an enhanced listing, how will they go about paying for it. Will it use the soho cart or will it do something different.

If you keep track of their email address, will it need to integrate with the soho newsletter mod so that you can send newsletters to them? If I remember correctly, soho is now restricting the tables that one can select from the newsletter mod. IF so, then soho code will need to be modified (really easy) to do this. Unfortunately, future upgrades will delete this change... unless however you can get the sohostaff to somehow incorporate your change. Should probably benefit the masses before asking them to make it part of the default install.

Will there be an admin interface where you (the Webmaster) can add/edit/delete all links after it has been approved by the Webmaster?

Also, is there a website that you know of that has this functionality that you want? IF not, can you provide screen by screen action of how you envision this.

Sorry for the many questions but this will help in providing you a more accurate quote.
