For weeks now I have been trying to get something to work on this project. I have posted requests for support and left it and went on to other parts of the project, but I find myself up against the deadline now and this one piece is still not working or moving forward.
I have a number of business' that will be coming and registering at a web site in a matter of days, with the registration I have to collect some additional information that Mambo does not collect.
Essentialy building a directory Listing. I have tried using the Mambo extended component to create the additional fields which meets some of the needs I have but not all. The area that extended falls short is in the area of Brands and categories. There are a total of 71 categories that a listing can belong to and the person registering and creating the listing has to go through and select what categories they want to be listed under. As well they have to list the brands they represent. Extended has no real way of allowing for this that I can see
Do I need a different component?? I wanted to use Phil Taylors Directory as it seemed to be the closest thing to what I needed but he no longer sells or supports it. I sent a couple of messages to him but they must have got lost in the mix.
I looked at AKoForm or phil-a-Form which can meet the need of getting the listing into the database but no way for the user to come back to the listing and change it or correct it.
Or can someone modify extended quickly for a reasonable fee?
