    Does anyone know of plugin i can use to create a directory/categories/database of listings? Examples would be a recipe database, classifieds ads, etc. I guess this implies i’ll need an ability to specify form inputs to use when saving the information as well.

    If not plugin, i’m open to other ideas.

    Thank you!

    I am not sure what are you asking for.
    Let’s say, you have a category “recipes” and you have 123 recipes (=posts) in that category.
    Clicking on the category name – it will display the “listing” of posts from that cat. Now you can have a Category_Template that will display the posts in whole, or only the excerpts, or only the titles (as a link).

    Or did I misunderstand somehting?

    I mean something outside of WP “posts” – display examples include:

    Directory at:
    http://www.offshorexperts.com/index.cfm/fa/buyer.outsourcing_directory

    Recipes at:
    http://www.drinksmixer.com/desc90.html

    In other words, I’m hoping users can fill out forms on my sites that add content to the directory listings. Classifieds, recipes, service providers, etc. (I’m still going to post content via WP that will include WP Categories)

    I don’t think WP is for something like that, but you never know 🙂
    (does anybody honestly think that people visit sites like the first example you linked? unless they are forced to, as I was naively clicking on it, LOL)

    I suspect you’re right, but was hoping for some recommendations. Thanks for your replies. I’ll look to find or write some PHP scripts to do the job.
