Research

I'm sketching a web-app, like a standard YellowPages. At the top I want to place an autocompletable dual search box, like we see on most YellowPages sites:
What? (Taxonomy, Product name, Username) AND Where? (Location).

I'm interested to see what the members of this group have found to be best modules to achieve this type of standard YellowPages functionality???

How can you have 2 boxes inside the search form, one of which is a Location search box?

I'm building a directory/classifieds for local small-town businesses, shops, traders etc with D7. The setup is by using Profile2 module, so that businesses can register for "Bisiness profile" ("Basic profiles" for ordinary users is free).

Hello everyone,

I plan to develop an online directory of a city, with a listing for every businesses like Doctors, Lawyers, CAs, Plumbers, Banks, Schools, Real Estate Agents, Salons, Hotels/Restaurants, Electronic Goods Dealers etc. It is not a B2B, only the Admin will have rights to add new businesses in the website.

I've followed this group for awhile, because I have created a lot of business directories outside of Drupal, and have wondered if it could be done easier and quicker within Drupal and it's vast amount of contrib modules. Well, I think it can, now that I do 90% of website development work in Drupal.

I am trying to create a system like http://atlanta.craigslist.org/, where users can post anything they are selling. This is what I did so far.

1) I created a content type called "marketplace listing". I used CCK to add various fields.
2) I created a container vocabulary called "Marketplace". Then I added terms (categories) in a tree like structure. For example, see below:
Marketplace
-For Sale
--Books
--Electronics
--Clothes
--Computers
-Jobs
--Accounting
--Finance
--Engineering
-Housing
--Apartments
--Condos

I am new to Drupal. I have watched many tutorials on how to use Drupal, but I have no idea where to start for this project.

Anyone experienced with Drupal based B2B trade lead directories ?

Something like Alibaba.com or EC21.com

Thanks

I was doing some research and came across these 2 directories. I thought might be inspirational. Please add more

thanks

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
