[consulting] Re: Chamber of commerce website with Drupal

[Evan Leibovitch]

Hello all,

Sorry to come into this a bit late, but I've only recently subscribed 
and had been looking through the archives.

While not strictly a chamber of commerce, I have been working on a site 
for a neighbourhood residents' association, for which one of the 
mandates was to provide a business directory. The intent would be to 
allow residents to enter in nearby restaurants and stores of interest, 
as well as enough listings to answer residents questions of "where is 
the nearest...?". The icing on the cake is the ability for members of 
the association to write reviews of the restaurants and stores.

This is being accomplished, as Boris suggested (though I hadn't seen his 
mail at the time I was doing this) using the CKK, views and userreview 
modules. Using CKK we created a "business listing" content type. In 
addition, the site uses location and gmap so that we can provide maps 
and location information for each listing.

The site is still in development and not a lot of content has been 
added, but there's enough there to demonstrate how it works.
