I'm looking to find a good membership or personnel directory application or module that is written in PHP.

Ideally, I would like to find a module that fits within a portal framework like PHP-Nuke, Post-Nuke or XOOP. However, I've been digging around a bit, and haven't been able to come up with too much yet.

Does anyone know of something like this that is currently available?

Best,
John

    I think most of those supports the concept of users "right out of the box".

    Are you looking more for calendar type stuff? Addresses? If so, look for projects with LDAP focus, or try TUTOS. www.sf.net/projects/tutos

      Hi jeremuck,

      Thanks for your reply. I'm primarily looking for an application that will store and manage a searchable directory of organization members by country and state. This will be an internet application for the general public rather than an intranet application.

      I'll also need some basic content pages to go along side it... so if this app is a module in a larger content management portal that would be ideal.

      Otherwise, I'll probably have to build out the other pages around the directory app.

      Thanks,
      John

        It sounds like your focus is slightly different than most portal sites. You could either write your own module to one of the portal systems you found, keep searching, but for an LDAP focused application, or start writing your own. If it were me, I'd probably concurrently do the first two. It's ok to modify these projects for your own uses, and it's always better to start with a good solid base than with nothing at all. I think from what I've noticed, LDAP applications are usually written for java servers like Catalina or Tomcat or JBoss or something like that.

          Yeah, you're right. The ideal solution would be to find/build a membership directory module that fits within one of the existing content management portals.

          Does anyone know of something like this that currently exists?

          Or any recommendations for a good framework to build one in?

          John
