I would like to create a USA and Canada Directory which would list garages which repair MG cars. Could this be done with this the regional version of this Program? People would pay for listings. How much modification would it take?
thanks,
M

Would you be filling in the data by hand or do you have a database?
If all you need to do is accept Paypal payments, that would be easy.
I think a little more info is needed, but I would say we could help you.
I would guess it would cost somewhere between $75 and $500 depending on how extensive the work required (not very specific I know...just trying to give you a range)

I don't think it would be too hard to add. I did something similar just adding a additional field or two to the database to allow for address/phone type contact information for those that don't have a website.

Even did a simple map that's linked to categories of phpLD

Tim,
You've done exactly what I need. I love the Map. I assume that is done with a sitemap? I will purchase ld and see about moving forward.
thanks,

David,
I am going to purchase and install it. I could just accept paypal, but I am thinking about taking credit cards as well. I have a gateway I like which is usaepay.com -- They have an ipn which should easily plug-in. I like what Tim did with his Honey site -- I would do a similar thing, but would want to be able to allow companies to purchase more than one listing at a time. I guess I need to learn a bit about Smarty templates. If I have you do the customization, I can't afford the higher end of your estimate.

Cool, how did you manage to get amazon book images for listings?
Is this a modification of alexa thumbnails mod or an image upload mod?

Neticus, have a look around Amazon's reference apps section.

I will do, however clarification will help also, since the second link is not from Amazon.
