Business Directory using Civicrm
September 12, 2007, 06:35:50 pm
I am looking to use the Personal Profile and Business Profile I have of registered members and expose these profiles in the form of a business directory. Something like the Yahoo business Directory. Is there a way of doing this with civicrm

Thanks

do you mean a hierarchical listing like this: http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/

I suspect not, and i dont think we have enough information to create a listing like that.

Yes, like the Yahoo Business Directory.

At the time of registration a user will fill in a Personal profile and a Business/Profession Profile. With these two profiles I have all the information I need about a particular individual. Is it possible to put this information into a Yahoo style directory.

This could become a mini skills marketplaces.

Gerry - I think you'd have to use some combination of APIs/queries to expose your "categories" on a CMS (drupal or joomla) page - and then link them to CiviCRM profile listings.

You'll have to play with this a bit - but if you "group" the contacts by the category properties (using smart groups perhaps) - you could expose each one as a profile listing and use "force=1" to get the listing. Check this page for some more info on profile listing parameters:
