creating a directory

brick said: "how would i go about creating a simple directory for my website? I'm using front page 2002, so what are the steps taken to create a directory. I want to create a simple sports directory on my site, but i don't know where to start."

edwin said: "get a directory script from [url]http://www.hotscripts.com[/url]"

Neutron2k said: "you will need a database and you will need knowledge of ASP, or PHP. as you are using frontpage i would suggest asp."

brick said: "what would i need to know about asp and php? is this a coding language i need to learn?"

edwin said: "just install a pre-written script, you won't need to learn anything."

raven said: "Poor Brick, getting conflicting replies."

edwin said: "i'm sure he has enough wisdom to realize my way is easier :)"

Neutron2k said: "i agree its a lot easier. but its less beneficial. especially if somthing goes wrong with the script and you cant fix it :) also you have the advatage or being able to write in your own features. Altough if you are completly new i would follow edwins advice."

raven said: "For the benefit of others who read this thread: although helpful, you do not need knowledge of ASP or PHP as was stated earlier, a simple pre-written script will do it :)"

Neutron2k said: "i only suggested it because pushing people to pre-written scripts seems to be the in thing now a days so i thought id just mention you can write your own using such a technology as php or asp along with a database. thats all :("

edwin said: "no need for a sad blue face!"

Neutron2k said: "bu there wasnt a crying one to use!"

raven said: "That's cool then, Neutron. I just wanted future users that come here through a google search to know that they can create a simple directory without having to learn programming first - if they don't want to. Your original post made it sound like they had to, but you've cleared that up now :)"
