why always that I try to install this mod I receive this message

Error! Can't retrieve review.cgi from widgetz.com! Try Again Later!

------------------

First of all, congratulations to Jerry on a job well done ! this mod is what ever links site needs.

i was wondering , i just installed links, and added the mod. so i dont have any previous rates in the database that i want to keep , so i will use it for both , reviews, and ratings . but , it threre a way that the rating can also be displayed just like before on the links page ?
it would be nice.

Thanks,

by the way, where can i get the stars images ?

Widgetz, this is what I get when validating a review:

Email Error: 2. Record validated, but couldn't send auto email. Reason: Bad Email addres: ''.

Also, how can I use the variables and hash items in review.def in nph_build.cfg without doing the require statement (that disrupts the entire database)?

Thanks!

Laith, if you mean the numbers, they still come up if you put the <%Rating%> code in link template. If it is the pictures you want then i am not so sure.

You can get the stars from

kiels.. my script doesn't USE the ratings dir... you are obviously trying to use rate.cgi.. if you are doing the "review only" mod.. then you can add it back in in /admin/data/rates chmod 777

proenca.. do you have LWP? or maybe my server was down.. i'll make a downloadable version when i don't feel so sick [i've been throwing up all day]

laith.. the ratings can't be displayed on the review page (like how they are now) becuase links.db only keeps track of the votes and the current "average" rating.. so it can't find the highest or lowest.. or it can't tell you how many of each number where rated on..

"average" cause it seems to work wierdly.. not sure if alex did mean to do that.. but it's cause you can't average something out that is using another average

i beleive he times VOTESxRATINGS... and then he adds the rating in and then divides that plus votes plus the new rating.. which isn't a real average

also.. i'll make some links on the instructions page for you people to get the stars and the "mods" for it..

mikeb.. that prolly means you have a bad email address yea.. i have no clue on what to do with the review.def into the nph-build.cgi.. it is not a good idea.. what i would do is make a nph-review.cgi or something.. hehe..

woo.. so far so good.. i went to sleep at around 4:15 am.. got up 2:00 pm.. felt sick.. tried to stand up.. kept putting cold water on my head to "soothe" it.. hehe and then i took a shower.. long one.. hehe.. couldn't stand up.. closed my eyes so i wouldn't feel dizzy.. and then i didn't dry my hair.. so i could sleep with cold water.. but then i threw up all my ADVIL.. hehe.. SOOTHING.. i went to sleep at like 3:15pm and now i'm awake at 5:30pm.. still feeling weird.. haven't thrown up since!

Hey widgetz,

Take a little more care for yourself man. You are working to hard on all these mods. It's not worth it getting sick of it.

But anyway, I hope you feel a little better and I am also looking forward to the downloadable version since I still can't use LWP.

I wrote my host provider but still no answer.

Take care,

Jeroen

Laith, that shouldn't be hard at all... you can create you own images, just name them the same as the stars, in the same order.

Cheers!

After installing this mod word for word ( i think !) when i try to rate a site i get this error:
CGI ERROR==========================================
Error Message : Can't increment counter file '/15'. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /u/web/antiq7/cgi-local/links/rate.cgi
Perl Version : 5.003


any ideas anyone?
thanks

padders, Thank you for the link to the images.
what i meant was for the average rating to appear as stars in the links page, i think that if we can do it with a smaller size stars, it would be very useful and elegant.

if anyone has any ideas how this can be done, please help me out.

p.s. this thread is getting too large, why dont you guys start a new thread

I tried to make a new post, anyone saw review.cgi (2) ???? but you guys decided it was not such a good idea i guess

:-)

hello...

uhh dazed.. review.cgi has nothing to do with rate.cgi

ok..

umm.. if anyone wants to post.. please redirect to:
