This is a pretty strait forward plugin. It turns any page into a directory. I kinda used the DMOZ or open directory as a guide and put this together. If you are in need of a directory this one is easy to use and fits into your site without any advanced setup techniques. As always feel free to let me know what you think or report and bug and suggestions to the support forums!

~~Installation~~
1) Upload the wp-directory folder into your plugins directory.
2) Activate the plugin through the plugin admin area.
3) Create a page to put your directory on, or choose an existing page.
4) Add this to the code section of your page < !- -w p - d i r e c t o r y- - > with no spaces, the spaces are there so you can see that there are two dashes!
5) Set the options in the admin -> Directory -> Options page “make sure if you are using permalinks to turn that option on”.
5) To use the quick add widget go to your widget control panel and add the directory widget to your sidebar. If your theme doens’t use widget add <?php widget_wp_directory(); ?> to sidebar.php
6) If you are going to use screenshots make sure you chmod the images/screenshots directory.
You can now start adding categories, subcategories, and sites!

August 9th, 2007 at 3:12 pm Hi. This is very cool. When I activate the plug-in and add a page, I see on the "wp-directory" tag. There is no output. What could I be doing wrong?

August 9th, 2007 at 3:46 pm Great looking plugin, only one major thing lacking. Better permalinks. The categories should have permalinks rather than just being flat $_GET variables, but overall a great plugin.
