PHP Link Directory Free/$25
PhPLynx Directory Free

I've got another to add to the list.

WSN Links

Here's the script in action.

More options than you can shake a stick at. :crash:
(That's why I chose it)
A bit difficult for a guy like me to skin, but shouldn't be too difficult for a pro.

All my directories are esyndicat. It has IMHO the best admin panel and features in it. Easily ad adsense, banner rotataors, text links, news pages, and all pages can be generated in the admin panel with the built in WYSIWYG editor. I have the paid version, haven't used the free one though so I don't know what the difference is between the two.

I'm only looking for a free script since I just want to try making a directory. Which is the best free directory script? Barracuda Link Directory? IndexScript? or Site Sift Listings?

I'd have to say with complete bias the phpLynx script.

Looks good:
Open LD

**Colleen** · Feb 22nd, 2007, 2:48 pm

Interesting, did you view the demo?

Knowing me I'll get it wrong that its not my demo your talking about, but if I can say that due to some saddo's who kept deleting the categories etc I had to ban access and just show the front end.

I'll work around that though and post as soon as I can.

ohhh really?

Here is an interesting one for those who are looking for something a little different - INDEXU 5.3.0 you'll see some neat demos there, I particularly like this one.

**Big Dan** · Feb 23rd, 2007, 2:25 pm

I have a links directory to add, it's vBulletin centric (doesn't work with out vBulletin)

vB Advanced Link Directory - $34.99

I've never used it on the backend, but the frontend looks nice and full featured.

I was replying to the post directly above me about OpenLD, looks exactly like some popular forum software, can't recall the name.

Thanks for putting me straight on that one Kalina, at least it gave me a chance to post about the demo admin area of the phplynx script being disabled for reasons explained.

I like that one as well LaCabra, shame they only have a restricted trial version, not sure people will want to dive in head first with $99 without knowing the full capabilities. Don't know the pro's and con's but will be looking, one huge respect, thier refund policy., :thumbsup_anim:
