For 3.0.12 - (haven't upgraded yet)

I'm looking for something for listing books in Cats and sub cats, a bit like Yahoo! style directory with Friendly URL support.

Can anyone suggest the best of breed for this? I've looked at Classifieds 3.0 from DotNetJedi and I already use Free Resource Directory but I'm looking for alternatives.

Any ideas?

Thanks, but as I said, I've looked at Classifieds 3.0 from DotNetJedi. That module doesn't support Friendly URLs and I'd like the module items to be easily spidered by SEs.

For the moment I think Free Resource Directory is just about the best module for categorised data. I was just wondering if there were any other good alternatives.

Check out H2O 

There is a link on the demo page that shows H2O setup as a classifieds.  It's primitive, just an example.  I'm sure H2O will do all you want.  If it doesn't, just let me know what you need and I'll add it in.

Thanks, H2O looks like a comprehensive module and can probably do more than I want.

Couple of specifics:

• I'm looking for something that doesn't post back the page on every click
• Some kind of category navigator - probably TreeView
• a client-side panel switch so after the Item list per Cat is displayed, click on item and the data is displayed on the same page without postback
• must be SE friendly
• must be cachable to speed up data loads

Here's the issue I think:

If I want SEs to index the whole catalogue, will I need proper links which postback, or is there a clever way to get SEs to spider AJAX content?

So actually it's a very simple UI for the user, but fairly complicated for the developer.

many thanks.

I'm using the free resources directory on my site - and it works with friendly URLS - I didn't know the DotNetJedi didn't support friendly urls - but I use the http://www.inventua.com href exchanger so it needs furls turned off.

Is that the only reason why you wouldn't use that module?

Cats.. what cats.. I love cats! I have a page dedicated to my darling kitty kats.. :-D

Hi-

Did you figure out which module to use? I noticed even though dotnetjedi doesn't support friendly urls but still can be indexed by search engines. On the other hand, Free Resource Directory is NOT search engine friendly even though it supports friendly urls. I tested many sites with both modules.

Thanks.

Interesting about SE's.

Thanks for all replies, I've been side-tracked with other stuff for a while and will revisit this soon.

Actually I think a module like the Control Gallery would be great:

Simple, clean, the way it should be.

Anyone know if such a module exists anywhere?

thanks

This is a light weight e-commerce Module for DotNetNuke 3.x/4x.I think It's a good Classifieds module.you can visit at this link: http://www.dnnshop.net

That looks like a winner to me.

Thanks for the tip Yand!
