How to create a mini directory in WordPress?

Question

I'm looking to create a simple directory, something similar but not so powerful as SOBI2 for Joomla.

Is there something like this for Wordpress?

I want to store informations like:

• Name
• URL
• Address (country, region)
• Details (text)

People should be able to browse or search such a simple directory.

Is there something like this available for WordPress?

Answer 1

Sounds like what you want is to use Custom Post Types with custom fields to create your own directory. Here's an answer I wrote about exactly that:

Also, take a look at the SimpleFields plugin for WordPress which can help you create these custom fields:

Had you looked at native Links (bookmarks) feature? Is it little under-hyped, but Links can be categorized, store decent amount of meta information and are quite easy to work with.

Otherwise you are looking at plugin area or custom fields (or custom post types, which is out of simple realm).
