  Poor Script, Pore Customer Service

  Rating: 1 - Poor
  Reviewed by on Jan 31st, 2011

  I've never been more dissapointed in this software. The customer service alone sucks royally!!!! All I got from David Duvall was excuses of why he hadn't contacted me. I discovered that there is not as many templates as is claimed on the site for the newest version. And the one component I wanted, is still in beta testing; may or may not work. I uninstalled the software from my server and competely from my computer system. I can even provide a log that this is true. I demanded a refund ,and David "Refused". I would reccomend that all of you who paid for this and were not satisfied and contact the BBB etc.

  Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

RE: Poor Script, Pore Customer Service  (AUTHOR RESPONSE)

What this person explained here versus what they said to our support staff is completely different. We did not appreciate being threatened. Generally we do honor refund requests if someone is polite and first allows us to try to help them. It's difficult when someone won't let you attempt to help them, and continues with threats. In this case, we wanted to make sure that a Paypal representative could properly review what this customer said, which they did. Had this customer apologized and given us a chance to help, I'm sure things could have gone quite differently, and we do give refunds, but only after we can have some reasonable discussion. People sometimes makes things difficult for themselves and that is unfortunate.

  This is a great script right out of the box. Real easy to installwith integrated install script. Uses widgets to display any content you wish to choose, It has options to create unlimited link types, google maps, and many more features. This script is well worth the asking price.

  Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

  I decided to go ahead and give this a try, since it’s cheaper than phpmydirectory. I had some problems installing my directory, but I got ahold of the owner David on skype and he got it running for me. It has all the usual features you’ll find in these kinds of packages for directory sites; but I really like how easy it is to manage users and content without spending a lot of time to learn it. The Ajax category option for directories is pretty good for directories that have a lot of things to index, it keeps it clutter free and easy to use. The payment functionality is pretty cool too if you want to host ads and featured links/articles. I’ll agree with some of the other reviewers here, it can be a little buggy but it’s nothing that’s going to break functionality. The templating system is based on SMARTY, so you can easily find someone to customize it for you. What was great was though I had some issues, I talked to the person who codes the software, not some outsourced guy in East Asia. If you’re looking for something that’s small and affordable, I’d highly recommend it.

  Bad experience with PHPLD n Its own David Duval

  Rating: 1 - Poor

  Am experiencing worst time after buying PHPLD, I bought PHPLD after reading reviews and rating points in most of the forum , it shows good review and rating points about PHPLD but now am surfing for last 45 days to get my final script, working with David Duval is a bad experience, I paid in advance that to in hourly bases, entire script will become too expensive. Buying just a PHPLD script does not generate money for your directory , as there are thousands of PHPLD script are on net, all look similar hence webmasters will not pay for directories submission on your website. if you don’t offer something special to your visitors they will not pay you, I tried to do the same with PHPLD but lost my money, all my time, David duval don’t even reply after taking money, he left work in midway, he is only dependent on his freelancers. There are many other directories script online, i suggest who has a large support team, who can provide good after sales service, but don’t buy PHPLD. I guess all the rating which you see about PHPLD is self proclaim strategy by david duval and his freelances. I guess most of the good rating is given by his own people. If you want more detail about my experience send personal msg i will share all detail.

While I am not sure who this person is because they didn't identify themselves, I think it is an unfortunate case where the person had big plans but was not clear on the scope of their project. We ALWAYS reply to customers who contract us on an hourly basis, and we never make quotes involving a fixed price when it comes to customization simply because it is difficult to predict the amount of detail work needed. If this is the person I believe it is we pitched in extra hours of free work to try to help them. I think they paid for about 5 hours of work, and we did about 12 hours of work (so 7 free). Even then the customer is demanding more work by us for free. We have lots of happy customers, but I understand some customers are not experienced with managing projects, but we try our best to help, but it is important to understand we bill by the hour because we work for a living.

• Great script to make a link/article directory

  Rating: 5 - Excellent
  Reviewed by on Dec 1st, 2010

  I was looking for a script which could be used as a article directory as well as link directory. Phplinkdirectory 4.1 does exactly that. I didn't have any problems installing it as it is very easy to install. Mind you I don't have any knowledge of php coding etc. The installer guides you through the installation steps which are very newbie friendly. I didn't have any problems installing this script and I did it without the help of anybody. If your looking for a directory script which is easy to install and yet has all the great features then I think phplinkdirectory is for you. I will happily recommend it to everybody.

  Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
