hehe.. no bugs.. just that i've got to make install.cgi install it for you.. that's all..

the program itself is lacking the multiple ratings feature..

(you can have multiple fields).. but it doesn't do anything with the other fields..

[i don't want to make it now... maybe later.. i was hoping that somebody else that knew perl would do it.. it's rather easy.. i put the rating fields array in already.. just you have to make a foreach to display each of them and to average them up...

Hi,

=========
the program itself is lacking the multiple ratings feature..
=========

I thought that is what seperates (mainly) your mod from the one by CEGlobe. There may be other differences. At least I have been waiting for that reason. I mean really waiting.

uhh... ceglobe's mod has exactly what my mod has of multiple ratings.. just the ability to check each rating..

cause i gave him my code..

i don't want to work on review anymore.. so i rather have you guys work on it.. just like how i work on links..

anyways.. i have been doing my website the past few days.. nothing else..

have a look..

jerry

also.. what seperates mine and ceglobe's is actually how it is coded.. hehe

in my opinion.. my code is alot more compact and very easy to understand.. [easy to mod]

jerry

Widgetz,

So, when are you releasing it?

i could if i wanted to right now

in your point of view.. you think..

"need the mod.. someone made the mod.. get the mod.."

i think..

"make the mod.. make the mod.. still make the mod.. make the mod.. make the mod.. make the mod.. make the mod.. finish the mod.. fix the mod.. make more of the mod.. make more of the mod.. make mod easy to install.. make mod the way they want it.. reply to all the emails about when mod will be out.. release mod.. get more email about how to install the mod.. reply to those.. get more email about how to use mod.. reply to those.. get more email about how to make a link to mod.. reply to those.. get more email about how to make mod look prettier.. DON'T REPLY TO THOSE.."

and then there is alot more.. heh

anyways.. i just made one more step to make the install easier.. but now i have three more.. hehe.. db_utils.pl, nph-build.cgi, and admin_html.pl...


grrrrrr..
jerry

Widgetz,
SweetA$$ site. I like the header and the logo. Plus the way the mods integrate with it. I think for the mod, you should do what you want because people may want it very badly and say they are dying for it but you've spent all that time working on it so i think what you want to do with it matters more. My opinion.

i've never been awake so early in the morning! geez! i go to sleep when the sub comes up.. and i wake up when it goes down.. hehe

anyways... i think i'm done

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm SOOOO serious about that

anyways.. i made a really simple but easy to use instructions script.. hehe

www.widgetz.com/review/

check out how it works

http://www.widgetz.com/review/1.txt
http://www.widgetz.com/review/2.txt
http://www.widgetz.com/review/3.txt

etc.. it's really easy.. the next and the prev checks to see if there is the next or the prev file

serious.. do not install... unless you know what you are doing!!

some features it's lacking

A COMPLETE multiple rating system.. (alot of people should get working on that.. many emailed me they would do it)

DELETE REVIEWS when links deleted.. not a hard one.. just a little twitch to db.pl's sub delete_records..

that's all for now..

jerry

Man, with those instructions, i really believe you were up that long.

actually.. i just woke up early

went to sleep earlier than usual.. 12:30 am

i forgot to include in the instructions about.. the #!/usr/bin/perl

thing..

jerry

i've spent more time making instructions for it.. then making it.. hehe

anyways.. i'm almost done..

jerry

oh.. btw.. did you notice for the subcategories under software..


(not in alphabetical)

cause i made a better version of the subcats like yahoo.. you list them by either doing

(ALL)1 or (ALL)2

for all alphabetical.. and styles 1 styles 2

OR the way i did it..

(H-PC|P-PC|H-PC_Pro|Auto_PC)1

of course there is (*&DFHDJF)2 also..

jerry

Hi!
Great script! But how may I use it, without loosing all ratings?

bye

you can't.. if you want accurate averages and log all ips.. you have to reset..

Widgetz,

Can you restrict users from voting/reviewing only once per link/item ie by IP blocking or some other method to abstain from multiple useless reviews?

Thanks.

Hi, having a few probs

Get this :

Installing Information

Root Path /usr/home/padders/public_html/pages
CGI Path
Admin Path /usr/home/padders/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin
Backup Path /usr/home/padders/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/backup
/review.cgi File

Creating File Error! /review.cgi: Permission denied

um... i have chmod everything to 777 to get it to work.... what is going on?

why is no cgi path shown

and also where is review.cgi coming from???? i do not have a copy or anything?

sorry for what maybe a 'silly' question :-)

ok, i also get this when i click on the link /review.cgi

Error! /review.cgi: No such file or directory

you don't follow instructions..

STEP 1...

umm.. socates.. that's in it.. it blocks forever which is better than right now.. block for recent only..

jerry

all the new files come from install.cgi.. it takes them off my server and puts it on yours..

i have only had a report of ONE successful installer.. heh

jerry

I can't even read the instruction text Widgetz. The font colors too light.

wow, you are write i skipped straight past that after chaning the !perl thingy.

About to try it again. Thanks for creating such a great mod though.

adjust your browser.. or you can read the text..

1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt etc..

the cgi reads off of those..

ok. i have everything installed and seems to work now but ...

<possibly stupid question>

how do you call the review program ie so that people can add reviews? do i not need to change link.html template?

sorry, i could not find any info about this

</possibly stupid question>

ok.. got it i think

just replace rate.cgi with review.cgi in the link in link.htm

oops :-)
