[Web4lib] Joomla Module Question

[Naomi Malone]

Hi Lisa,

The best solution that I've found so far is Sigsiu Business
Directory<http://joomla.sigsiu.net/directory.html>,
which allows the item to be attached to up to five categories.  There is
also a new component called K2 <http://k2.joomlaworks.gr/>that is supposed
to be able to do this but I am still testing it so can't say for sure..it's
supposed to be similar to CCK in Drupal so is not a built-in solution, you
would need to build the structure yourself.

Hope that helps!
