My Business Directory
I am trying to build my first Drupal directory. Building a basic directory using CCK and Views seems easy enough. I am have trouble with figuring out the best way to charge users to post certain nodes.
What I ideally want is for some users to be able to pay to get their entry to the top of the list. So, this would mean that the node would become "sticky" once the user has paid a fee. I can't seem to figure out a way to do that.

Creating a niche business directory project
I am going to try to create a Business Directory using Dupral and existing modules.
I'm not experienced with Dupral (I've only played around a little bit), so I know it won't be easy.
I'll follow the advice here and the other threads that talk about it. I don't have loads of time to do this so it’s going to take a while. Hopefully this thread will help others too.

Some work towards a Business Directory may already have been addressed by the recently released Openresort Community Edition

If someone would like to volunteer to look at that implementation, it may be a reasonably simple task of pulling out the relevant code and wrapping it up in an independent module.

Business Directory General Thoughts
As I was #2 is asking for this on drupal.org (Jan 2004) I figured I should weigh in on what I have done (and not done). The picture has changed a bit from when I first was looking.
Let me say that I have a business directory running on http://www.NicaPlaza.com. It is using Joomla and sobi2 rather than Drupal. It is clearly not the ultimate solution but there were some reasons for the choice. I feel we can all learn from what I have and don't have.
First, here are some basic requirements

My directory work in progress
Mine is still a work in progress, but you can see it here:
http://couleeregiononline.com/directory
I'm using taxonomy, views, CCK, and custom theming for the over all directory. Fivestar for rating entries.
I plan on using the field permissions module to make some fields available only to paid listing as well as have some fields for admin use, but haven't gotten to that, yet. For a simple enhanced listing, I'll use the sticky option to put the items at the top and them them slightly different.
