I have set up Drupal 5.2 with the directory module, and set some categories. I would like to be able to set it so that anyone can submit a listing, but I have to approve it before it gets posted (like anonymous comments). Is this possible?
I thought that I could set up a user with privileges to only enter items to the directory, and then publish the log on details so guests can submit items without setting up an account. Not sure if this is a good thing though.
Still very early stages, as I only started building it yesterday.
Not using latest version as I do not think that the directory module is working for it - am I wrong?
Has anyone built a yellow pages style directory using Drupal in another way? Ideally without paying for a special module. If Drupal cannot do it, I will resort to paying for Powerseek, but hopefully it will not come to that!

In addition to this, it would be handy if Drupal would email me whenever a new "directorylisting" was made. Is this possible?

you should be using Drupal 5.7 you are 5 secuirty releases and bug fix releases behind. This is leaving your site vulnerable to publicly known exploits.
after you get your site secure, investigate the views.module and the nodequeue.module in the downloads area.
with regards to being emailed, investigate the actions.module

Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the advice. Updated the version, now installing the views and nodequeue. Hopefully this will do the trick nicely!

Hello again,
Another quick question, I am thinking of charging customers for listings in the future. Is there a module/set of modules which manage this?
For the moment I will build up the site myself, and see if people are interested, but later I will charge a small fee for listings - maybe as little as a pound per year for a listing.... (depending on how well Paypal allows this) - with the intention of eventually having thousands of listings.

investigate the ubercart.module & ecommerce.module as well as the other pay type modules in the downloads area. ie: paypalnode.module paypernode.module and the like.

Have you tried to set the
Have you tried to set the node type to unpublished. Then it will not show until you set it to published. Then you can just look for un published nodes to see what needs approval. Just a thought.
Make them register, or you will get a lot of spam submissions.

The unpublished trick seems to work a treat. Good idea!
