Is there a module that will let you compile a directory of links? I'm talking about a dmoz.org / yahoo.com type hierarchical directory. Click on "industry" then "garments" then "shirts" then you get a list of T-shirt shops...that sort of thing. I know there is a "links module" but it performs a different function, attaching links to pages.

Nobody has anything? What about a non-Drupal-module solution? Any ideas of where to go from here? I really need something more than a static HTML page with a ton of links on it (my current "solution")

Check out Categories in the admin section.
You would have to set up different terms (key words). and then figure our how to display them.

Then do a search for PHP Snippets. There are a bunch of user created scripts to help you build this out.

http://drupal.org/node/55610 is part of the site recipes section of the handbook pages.

it sounds like taxonomy will be a part of your solution, somehow, but the manner it is implemented is up to you.

good luck!

Ah! It even says Yahoo/DMOZ on the download page. Thanks!

But it seems they're reevaluating the entire module right now. Ack. Anyway, this is what I was looking for.

Nothing wrong with re-evaluating a module. Now is the time to get involved and help out. The more people actively involved with a supporting a project, the healthier and more likely it will survive across Drupal versions.

Well, by "reevaluating" they actually mean "scrapping big parts of it, generally redoing the whole thing, and threatening to make any work that I do with the module obsolete as soon as the new version is released". That's all well and good, but from my perspective it's unfortunate. And please don't assume that I'm a PHP programmer - my ability to help is severely limited. It seems that a lot of people reflexively assume that anyone on this forum must be a seasoned professional.
