    Default customize IndexU to make it work like mystart.co.uk

    Hi,

    I’m looking for some help. I would like to use IndexU to create pages like on this website http://www.mystart.co.uk/

    So on the homepage you show the main categories and their top x links plus subcategory links.
    If you click on a link you will go directly to that site and when you click on the subcategory link you go to the subcategory page

    This subcategory page shows the sub sub categories and their links. If there are more then for example 20 links in a sub sub category page this sub sub category page needs a sub sub sub category page. And so on….

    In the future I would like users to be able to login and rate the links for personal use so al their personal favorites will show on the homepage.

    I think this should be possible with IndexU but I need some help to do this. Is there someone who can help me with this?

    I am sure you will find INDEXU very easy to customize. So, yes it can do what you want it to do. All it will take is either hard work on your part or money. And the more you can do yourself, the less money it will take from you.

    I see a question like yours 2 or 3 times a month. I tell them all the same thing. The PHP code is the hard part but fortunately almost all of that has been done for you. The time consuming part is the HTML part. Both can be expensive if you have to pay to have them done.

    INDEXU runs pretty much right out of the box. And the look and feel of the pages are pretty nice looking. But you will want to customize them. And to say there are hundreds of files to customize would be an exaggeration but there are alot of files to change - about 100, I guess. Yes, INDEXU uses CSS and that is great but it still takes time.

    Do it yourself can be frustrating and a lot of people give up. But folks have more time than money so they ususally try that to begin with...

    Suggestion: Do it yourself man, I am customising Indexu myself and its easier for me to do it and know how I want it to look instead of having someone else do it, not get it right, go back and do it again then charge you more money.

    I offer my services for free at this point in time seeing as how you are in need of help majorly. I can tell you what files to edit to get the look you want and where to put what. Just keep in mind, I have been doing this for many years so I'm usually read in html coding when I'm on the computer, so if you need help, let me know or if you did it yourself and got an error, ask me through email and I will gladly respond as soon as I get the email.
