Have read an older topic about links, Alex talks about the file-uploading-feature and so i think about the things i miss at links:
1. A tool to build new Fields (in links2 no prob im still searching for the way in SQl)
2. A real great search-function with:
-- search with a form in all or certain fields (choosen from admin)
-- search with a range; eg. all entrees with postalcode 5 to 7 means 50000 to 79999 (german format)
-- search < x; > x
-- search a field with 5* for 5xxxx but not 123!5!
-- search exact for 55 only find 55 not 555
3. A Field for different time to stay inside the db; i have implement a field with paydate in future; so i must search every week for that entrees that should expire or pay again, writing manually mails. So think about a feature that sends email 2 weeks before expiring automatically.
4. In germany there is a service named x-check, the same as adultcheck in the us. Cause of the german laws and to save our children there could be a way to use such a service writing a hard-cookie at the server, jump to the adultcheck, beeing linked back to our script, reading the hardcookie (sessionvar?) and send the user to the adress he wants. (Very cool way to save AND to get money) EG. www.sexhits.de
5. Combining an creditcard-service with links; let the people pay to enter entrees or for reading some. Different prices ....
6. As rajani said, this script is wonderful and like him, who wants to help by protecting links with a copyright, we could help to sell it in germany (specially with a shopfunction - cause most of scripts are too light (eg. no sql behind) or they would cost to many for a normal user. With the template-function its so easy to design it and sell it to a price a normal human could and would pay.
(7. whats about an function to show all cats on every page eg. in a left sided area)
The next project would be a big shop for adult-videos, using links, using an adultprotecting service and a shopscript (the order for our second linkssql comes if its ready for launching, Alex :-) Hope to get a reseller price then :-)
I try to build with a normal links2 thought for a link directory just some other applications:
-- a dir for adresses, with logos
-- a Shop by combining links with a script from elitehost with affiliate-programm
-- a newspaper build from users; (with an large description field and link to ultimate-board for discussion about
-- a classified script; the best i got has cost 999 $ and its poor against the things i think as possible with links and some modifications or combining with other scripts.
-- Access to files, pics or information by combining accountmanager from elitehost with links.
I think to do this and maybe more there are a lot of smaller and bigger things alex could implement; this real cool script could really do more!
Cause of managing a webagency in germany i work 7 days a week and have only a small part of time to work on my ideas with links (and my perl-knowlegde as my english are poor :-(
so nothing from the mentioned above is ready for the industrial use; but some parts are running at test-status if someone is interessted.
By the way; if there are any links- and web-interested people around Köln/Cologne, Germany i would be happy to meet and talk about the things we could dream and do together with this wonderful script. (BTW we are searching for new employments, not externals, for HTML, Grafix, Perl, ASP and a for our marketing too)
Hope to start a positive discussion with that.
