review in new version
Hi,
I havenīt installed the beta-beta yet and wanted to ask if anybody who has installed it knows, if reviews are included. If not are there any restrictions in creating one ID.txt file from a guestbook script for every ID (only if someone writes a review) and only include it if the file /local/review/ID.txt exits (check with the -e command) I wrote someting like that and think that it is a good solution because it does not use database space. But maybe there are restrictions or problems I did not think about. Thanks for any hints, help or suggestions.

Cheers

Niko

I would not recommend mixing flat files with MySQL databases. It can all be done in MySQL and would process a lot faster than creating and using a flat file.

You might want to download the Review.cgi Modification that Widgetz wrote if the integrated Reviews in the next version does not suit you....

I have found some bugs in it, but overall, it works pretty well.
