Custom directories/listings in Joomla

Question

I'm trying to create a directory in Joomla, which means, the user will have a form to add an entry (with custom fields) and the entry will show up in a page listing all added entries.

For now, I'm going with SOBI which is a Joomla component handling all this.

Question:
I was wondering if there are any good alternatives, what I'm looking for is :

• Multi categories
• Custom fields
• Easily stylable forms and listings

Answer 1

Well you should try some of the CCK solutions out there. They have all you asked for.

Some of them are:

• ZOO
• Flexicontent
• K2

ZOO is IMHO the best, but has no frontend submission feature. Flexicontent and K2 do have it.

Answer 2

I like Mosets Tree. I've used it on several sites.

Answer 3

I agree with Mike. K2 and Zoo are great. If you need any help you can ask some questions on our Joomla Forum
