If you want to grab the current .tar, it's at:

http://linksql.com/...ges/files/Review.tar

It's _GUARANTEED_ _NOT_ to work!!

It compiles, and perl checks, but that's all! It's completely incompatible across scripts, and I haven't risked running the install yet (not that it would do any damage, but it would probably start me on a 2-3 hour debug cycle that I can't afford right now!

I need to take a break until at least tomorrow night on this, so if anyone wants to take a crack at it, and post the fixes -- or just take a look at where it's going, feel free.

I'm concentrating on the "install" so that people will be able to install and test it out, without fear of damaging their current operation in any way. Big chunks are missing --

1) The basic outline of the install is in place
2) The basic options for the tables, hooks, etc are in place.
3) It's a combination of 3 main development thrusts, so there are a _LOT_ of incompatibilities in variable names, passing parameters, and internal variables! (as well as configuration options!!).

I'm trying to upgrade all the "logic" to the current level Alex/GT is at. Every plug-in has used a different layout and set of logic. I'm trying to take the best of each, and create a working "install shell" that can be used in other projects as well, by just changing a few of the data blocks.

I hate releasing this at this point, but it's a group project, so maybe someone with more time in the next 24 hours can smooth over some of these issues.

Please don't try to "fix" things, unless you know where I'm going with it, and
you think you can make some progress!

Try to keep everything in separate "blocks" with their variables and actions close together.

I figure I've got about 8-10 more hours tweaking and polishing up the install, and merging the $IN-> variables and options before it's ready for it's first "run". At that point, it would be safe for anyone to try out -- even on a live site.

We do need "routines" for installing the various ratings systems, and creating the extra database fields. The user needs to be asked which rating system they want to use, if any at all. Right now the options seem to be "None", "1-5", and "0-10".
