Module Selection

I originally posted this (http://drupal.org/node/220675) in the drupal.org post installation forum, but I think it belongs here more...

Hi, I'm trying to decide what modules I need, and how to organize and implement something I'm sure has been done before, but I could not find it listed in the cookbook, and I'm not sure what keywords to search for...

The idea is I want a site that displays a directory of different instances of clubs. but each club is made up of the same parts....

I see people are considering using cck_field_permission to distinguish between basic and premium fields on a listing node.

Using this setup does a user buy premium access for a single listing or once they get premium role they can post as many premium listings as they feel like

Hi all,

I'm wondering what methods you folks are using to actually structure/categorize your directory tree?

Are you using a hierarchical taxonomy and applying it to your nodes?

Tyswan, I'm wondering if you could tell me how you are creating the linked directory tree on the home page of your directory index page?

Many thanks!

Hi All,

Would like to ask for opinion and suggestion on the module to use for linking, parenting, referencing (or whatever people called it) two different nodes.

For example, you have a node type called business for where you will have fieldset for the business like address, phone, fax etc
and you have another node type called photo where you will have the pictures of the business.

questions:
1. to link both node type (business, photo) together and able to display as a tab.
2. to upload images to the nodes with best that allow batch upload and place caption (title) to it.

I've been following this topic for a while now and was curious where things stand. Do you have specific guidelines, modules, procedures, etc? NEW MODULE???

And what about the basic listing criteria? ( name, address, phone...)

I am not much of a programmer, but would like to contribute where possible. It sounds like this could be a key feature for Drupal down the road.

OpenResort - www.openresort.org started out as a business directory, and has evolved into a booking engine. For the purpose of a business directory our module works great. Check it out.
