Business Directories
Kelly's Directory (or more formally, the Kelly's, Post Office and Harrod & Co Directory) was a trade directory in England that listed all businesses and tradespeople in a particular city or town, as well as a general directory of postal addresses of local gentry, landowners, charities, and other facilities. In effect, it was a Victorian version of today's Yellow Pages. Many reference libraries still keep their copies of these directories, which are now an important source for historical research.

Recycle map block

Also worth copying one of the root php files and calling it my info.php

Dynamic Maps
The map functionality requires no additional coding to show the user what they wish to see, it simply takes the last part of the web address as a filter.
eg: /maps/milk will find all places/organisations that sell milk.
It also understands nested taxonomy a simple example would be
FOOD TYPES
