I am going to be creating a software catalog / directory and need some recommendations on a plugin that would help. Ideally the plugin would be able to handle:

Tags / Categorization

Screenshots / Thumbnails

Short Desc

Long Desc

Pagination / Alphabetic listing

Search

 

The end goal would be something like a searchable like these sites:

 

http://www.tucows.com/downloads
http://www.freecode.com/

http://www.c64.com/

 

I imagine that a plugin that could be used to to catalog music albums or movies could be made to work.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

 

I've got something that could easily be adapted to meets your needs. Send over a PM and I'll send you a link

https://subrion.org/ is worth a look, it's been a round for years so pretty solid and reliable. Tons of features including custom fields so you can build pretty much what you want how you want.

 

If you want something part premade but still infinitely extendable have a look at https://www.wsnsoftwaredirectory.com/ - it's got a staggering array of features, custom fields, templating system and so on.
