Link owner reply in review.cgi
Is there a way to allow link owners to reply to any reviews posted about their site?

Thanks.

Not very easily other than them creating their own accounts for reviews. It would be possible...but not without a lot of code hacking of the review.cgi script.

May be Widgetz will respond to this Topic.

I would add a new field to the review def, and use DBman as the front end for validating link owners and editing/adding their own comments on reviews...

Thank you, both. We'll see if widgetz catches this one, and I'll look into DBMan.

I happened to see this feature at a medical site - I think WebMD - where physicians could respond to patients' ratings. This would help to make any rating system fairer for all involved.

Thanks.

One other suggestion....

Have the LINK Owners register for the review system upon adding their site...Add the review registration form in the add_success.html file...

Then use the <%Contact Name%> and <%Password%> or whatever you use for the Review system as values for the registration form.

Yeah, I was thinking of providing link owners the option of having their site rated. In link.html, do an if statement. If they chose not to be rated, there would be default "Declined To Be Rated" graphic, or something like that.

That is another thing you can do...However, that was NOT my suggestion...I suggested that you use the review.cgi form in the add_success.html and use values from the link they added to create a REVIEW account. SO, that they can respond to REVIEWS without having to create a separate account.
