   I want to implement a business directory in WordPress and I am looking for feedback on the best approach:

   • I have a categories and a businesses table
   • Do I create a page for every business together with it's category relationship
   • Do I create a page and assign it a template?
   • What are the ups and downs which each approach?

   Looking for some answers from people that might of already done this and can speak from experience

   I want to be able to drill down like:

   Category
   Sub Categories
   Listings
   Listing

   The business category plug-in does paging but not drill down and i want to be able to browse as the example bellow without having to create nested pages:

   /businesses/category/subcategory/business

   what i have today is a page that inherits from a template. Is there any way to canonicalize the path instead of /?a=1&b=2&c=3

   That would help me resolve my issue and allow me to drill down as shown above:

   /businesses/category/subcategory/business

   Any help is appreciated.

   Apparently I need to build a plug-in and define actions inside which will allow me to do this?

   Any comments?
