    Default Creating a directory

    I'm looking at creating a directory site and I need the following requirements met:


    • Must be easily searchable
    • Must be able to have "featured ads" in each catagory
    • 100% customisable front page
    • Ideally, the ability to put featured ads at the top of a search listing


    Does anyone know of a free solution that would do this? Or even most of it?

    Would the listings be user submitted or entered by you?

    sounds to me like you want to create revooo or any of the others

    There must be an open source copycat out there

    Search sourceforge.

    Think that, crossed with an advertising magazine..

    I just want something I can customise, rather than having to write the whole lot from the ground up!

    Joomla. Wordpress isn't very good for user submitted content imo.
