Plugins - Addons

[lostdog]

Has anyone added any of the following items to this script? Or is it possible to add?
1. Zip Code Locator? (Searched via database entered zip codes during sign-up)
2. Company logo upload and display next to search and on individual listing page?
3. Email lead form to each listing owner?
4. Option to also have lead sent via text message?

Hi,


The last 3 already exist as mods available from 3rd party providers. We try not to reinvent the wheel when it is already available :)

The first one I would need you to explain a little more.

[lostdog]

Are you able to add the items to a new site? Would the additions affect the future upgrades to PHP Link Directory?

[James]

Well all 3 are easy add ons to it. However we can not promise that every mod available right now will work on the next release.

I can say with some certainty that the ones you are looking at will not be affected other than having to re-add them to the upgrade (sometimes).

[lostdog]

Do you expect a new version soon?

How about number one? This is a must?

[David]

We don't discuss release dates.

Assuming you had all of the addresses with zip codes loaded into phpLD, it would be quite easy to make a search by zip. This is not a difficult thing to do, though certainly requires the help of a professional, and could be done in 3.2 right now.

David,

This will be a new site that is similar to another I own. The zips address etc will need top be added to the Registration Area. There are also fields that will need to be added to the submit area to show in the listings. Can we talk live about the options I would like to add or should I pm you a list.

The address and zips is really not more then adding a few database fields!
and editing a few files!

Look at http://wesece.com/submit.php

see the address fields for the address to show google maps?

Then look at a site with address sample: http://wesece.com/Directory_Listing/Bergo_Designs-12116.html
scroll down to see the google map and click on the red icon >> see the address.
I used the submit arear to add the extra fields, but this can be done in the registration area also.
Just ask any mod developer to do this for you.

[lostdog]

Not sure that is exactly what I need. Maybe it can be altered to fit my needs? It needs to be like or exactly PHP ZIP Code Locator 4.0. Don't know if I can add this to PHP Link Directory. I am unable to post the url so you can goo it.

[David]

If you are asking if this can be done, the answer is yes, but certainly you will need the help of a PHP programmer to integrate it with phpLD. Possibly someone from our staff can do this early next year, but we are pretty booked for the next few weeks, but I'm sure there is someone you could find to do this if you look around.

[lostdog]

David,

Can you or someone on your staff help ASAP?

[David]

Usually within a day.
Thanks,
David

[lostdog]

Im ready please put me in touch with some one on your staff.

[David]

Just PM your specific question to me, and I will help you from there.

[lostdog]

David please check your PM:)

[David]

Yes, I already have someone planning to get started shortly, and should have an answer tomorrow, but keep in mind we are right in the middle of a release.
Thanks,
David
