Dynamic rated image update

Dynamic rated image update
How to create something like this:

Check http://www.dominion-web.com/...s/dwodp_pro/demo.php

Look for the "Rated at HotsSripts.com" image.

Ratings are updated dynamically - X.XX/5.0.

It's cool Smile

Or maybe a text version?

This would just require a script or something. Try creating a script called 'show_rating.cgi', and upload to your CGI-BIN;

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use lib '/path/to/admin';
use Links qw/$IN $DB $CFG/;

Links::init('/path/to/admin');

my $id = $IN->param('ID');

my $rating;
my $sth = $DB->table('Links')->select( { ID => $id } );
while (my $hit = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
$rating = $hit->{Rating};
}

print $IN->header();
print "Rating: $rating";

Then on your link owners sites, have something like this;

Code:
<IFRAME SRC="http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/show_rating.cgi?ID=1234" TITLE="Link Rating">
Your browser doesn't seem to support IFRAMES.</IFRAME>

Untested, but it should work Smile

You can do something similar with Ian's Remote Count plugin which also counts the clicks back to your site through the link. Not sure how to create the dynamic image though.
