PHP Link Directory coding help

My first directory was a success in my books, although still a work in progress.

I decided to start another directory but more in a niche. The URL is http://www.forumdetector.com

I have been trying to get help at their support forums, but it seems like they are tied up in the new version 3 coming out. I was wondering if anyone has the answer I need. Instead of repost, I am going to copy my original post from that thread, as well as link to that thread. But please, KEEP THE CONVERSATION HERE! Thanks.

As you can see, I have two main pages right now: index.php and categories.php. They each have a different tpl file.

Right now, I have my categories on my index page and nothing on my categories page. I want to move my directory listing to the categories page.

I was trying to just wing it and figure it out myself, but I was having problems with the subcategory pages' layouts, so I figured ill just get it done right...

thanks

Hi, I saw your post and even got your PM. I just think it may take getting a programmer to take a look and do some testing to get this to work. I didn't understand well enough to get a simple answer for you.

If you want to get an organized plan together and maybe make some screen shots with notes on them, maybe I can get someone to try to figure out how to do what you are asking.

My suggestion is that you leave the main categories on the homepage like they are, and to have each one open up into it's own list of subcategories, like click on cars and get Ford/Dodge/Honda as your choices.

I would rather have the directory in a subdirectory of my site. When people think of a directory, they think of something only used by webmasters to boost their PR. I am trying to see if I can shift from that point of view and actually make the site useful to regular users - not just webmasters. This way, I also have more room on the index page for more userfriendly stuff.

If you're doing a directory then you want it on the index page. You know of the three click rule, right?

A visitor should be get to what they are searching for in three clicks or less. Most will leave after three clicks if they can't find it.
