OK - There has to be a user database mod... and I have decided to do it. Heres what I have been thinking of doing anyway - please give me feedback before I get too far

* Each profile has a page dedicated to them automatically build when the build all is done...

* Admin approval... (do you want it???)

* Intergration with widgetz review mod

* Be able to upload a photo ( this might not come with it, but I want to do it... )

* Of course the profile page will have the persons name, email etc... and I might do what cgi-resources has done and let you see all the reviews that that person has made... might be a but hard for me.

* Some people might want it to work with the UBB - I won't be able to do that... but when I finish it someone with the UBB might make the hack .

* The scrit will be freeware/shareware, to use it you have to leave the copyright and ad down the bottom... or you can pay $X.XX for it ( The ad won't be any longer then the UBB's one though )

Please give feedback... Any help would be appreciated :-)

I have only written about 5 Perl scripts in my life... mailing lists and other simple things, so the code might be a bit messy.

my user database is almost done.. fyi

it incluedes major secure login.. (uses ip.. if they have a dynamic ip they can use cookies)..

and then it has sessions.. so they don't have to logon for everything.. and it automatically logs them off..

jerry

oh yea.. btw.. it will be integrated with my administration mod.. (the thing that costed $200+ but now is going to be free..)

anyways.. did i mention they have to login to add/modify?

jerry

OK then - I'll skip the userdatabase and make an advertising script that will intergrate will links and allow SSI calls etc on CGI pages, and some pretty neat stats Hopefully Jerry hasn't already started this one.

So, Jerry, you are giving away your admin mod? Is that the admin mod that allows others to login and have set permissions on what they can edit?

Do you know around when you might release the admin mod, and is it going to cost anything. This is exactly what I need.
Thanks.

dunno when.. not in awhile is all i can say.. school started today.. and this weekend and next weekend i will be out

it's not going to be the same admin mod.. it should be better...

jerry

I understand, I too have school starting this week so I was trying to get some things done ahead of time. Thanks anyway.

i haven't even touched my code today.. geez.. i better remember perl

anyways.. the next "free" time i am aware of is SUNDAY... the 12th.. hehe

maybe not...

jerry

Has this ever become reality?

Nope...not for LINKS 2.0.

There are some code hacks for SQL that creates user tables.

But for a flat file system...it would be quick chunky and cumbersome.

My review.php mod comes with a user table in the SQL database. It'll allow you to see all the posts by that user etc, and I plan to use it for mods in the future.

I really need to put some work into that side of it... I have been having some problems with it since I included the User Table, but its almost worked out.
