Does anyone have any advice as to a relatively simple way to create an online address directory? I would like to be able to do searches by Country, State, City, Name of organization, Organization contact person. After one has located a chapterrof the Organization in a certain city, then there would an address, telephone, e-mail and web page.
Initially there will be at least 500 entries and the person in charge of the directory would be able to make changes/revisions/additions via a browser.
Inasfar as integration with Freeway, I would either use the iFrame action or simply have a link to the directory.
Perhaps there is an “out of the box” server based solution (preferaby free) that I can use.
I would have a look around in http://www.hotscripts.com in the PHP
section, there are probably a few hundred of these to choose from.
Pick one that has a decent demo page and documentation available,
because otherwise this will become a head-first introduction to
programming. Also, for your initial import, look for one that will
accept input by CSV or another text format. It’s pretty easy to
coerce Excel or Numbers to export something usable, and that will
keep you from clicky-clickying on the Web admin interface forever.
