    Default The Calgary Business Directory

    I have just completed a refresh of my web site, using version 5.3.0 Indexu

    It's a local business directory of companies in and around Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

    www.CalgaryBusiness.ca - The Calgary Business Directory



    To see a sample listing:
    Calgary Business Directory & Search Engine for Calgary, AB.

    To see a sample detail page or listing:

    I dunno, I just moved up from Arlington, Texas.

    Dallas Stars are doing great

    I was born in Canada, just fled 12 years ago to the USA from the artic cold. Now I am back, and trying to fend off frost bite.

    Thumbs up

    I have to say that Indexu is one of the best scripts I have used. It is very easy to edit and rather than building your web site around a script, you can make the script easily fit the design of your web site.

    I would recommend this script to anyone considering buying a search engine script.

    Indexu provides great support and a wonderful community forum to get support or mods.

    I will also be updating Yakima Business with the new script for Jorge once he buys a license, which he claims he is going to do soon...

    I currently have 3 sites running the new script.

    Cool,

    I tried to buy a domain 6 months + ago from someone at Yakima Business so I recognized the design.

    Nice work.

    Thank you.

    Yeah, I sold him that domain. $200 bucks. He's a friend.
    YakimaBusiness.com - ILoveYakima.com

    Building my Canadian (Alberta) web directories on the same foundation.
    CalgaryBusiness.ca
    CalgaryDirectory.ca
    CalgaryBusinessDirectory.ca &
    ILoveCalgary.ca (Bumper Sticker)

    All resolve to the Web Directory.

    Same for the other cities mentioned above.

    I was looking to buy bellinghamclassifieds.com, but it didn't work out. I am in the process of building a couple of directory sites, and I purchased eSyndicat and it is pretty good. Then I came across Nice Coder, so I may try it on a third site.

    Well thanks for the kind words.


    I have just completed www.VancouverBiz.ca






    You might like to look at the "Add a Listing" page and click on the radio buttons to see the different fields. Bruce gave me the idea as I started to use frames.. glad I listen to him.

    Don't forget to send an e-Card http://www.vancouverbiz.ca/eCards/

    That looks great. If you release it as a mod give me a shout.

    Download js file.

    http://www.intlads.com/mod/advs.js


    // JavaScript Document
    function Deeplinks(id, deep)
    { document.getElementById(id).style.display = deep; }
    function featured(){
    Deeplinks('deep1', 'none');
    Deeplinks('deep2', '');
    Deeplinks('deep3', '');
    Deeplinks('deep4','');
    Deeplinks('deep5','');

    }
    function normal(){
    Deeplinks('deep1','');
    Deeplinks('deep2', 'none');
    Deeplinks('deep3', 'none');
    Deeplinks('deep4','none');
    Deeplinks('deep5','none');

    }
    function none(){
    Deeplinks('deep1', 'none');
    Deeplinks('deep2', 'none');
    Deeplinks('deep3', 'none');
    Deeplinks('deep4','none');
    Deeplinks('deep5','none');

    }
    Now you match the field that you want to manipulate to the filed in the js file. ie id="deep1"

    If you want the field to be initially hidden from the visitor and only active when he selects a radio button, add style="display:none;"

    A sample of this is below.

    <tr class="tbl_normal" id="deep1" style="display:none;">
    <td valign="top"><p align="right">Phone #: </td>
    <td><p align="left"><input class="text3" type="text" name="phone" size="30" value="" /></td>
    </tr>

    You want to be able to trigger this form, so I used radio buttons.

    Sample below:

    <tr>
    <td width="22" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><input type="radio" onclick="normal()" id="radio" name="periodprice"
    value="BASIC|0|0"></td>
    <td width="378" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><p align="left">Free Listing&nbsp; (requires reciprocal link)</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="22" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><input type="radio" onclick="none()" id="radio" name="periodprice"
    value="BASIC|0|9.95"></td>
    <td width="378" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><p align="left">Basic Listing&nbsp; ($9.95 one time charge) </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="22" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><input type="radio" onclick="featured()" id="radio" name="periodprice"
    value="PREMIUM|360|99.95"></td>
    <td width="378" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><p align="left">Featured Listing&nbsp; ($99.95 /per year)</td>
    </tr>
    You may see this in action here:

    http://www.vancouverbiz.ca/add.php

    You can not have any extra or unused fields in the .js file, thay all must match otherwise it will give an error.

    I hope this helps as my communication skills suck.

    Good Luck
