Hello...I'm reviewing php link directory as a potential directory engine for a quiz application I'm trying to host. Basically, I have an online quiz app that hosts hundreds of quizzes across topics of history, geography and biology. For each quiz, I'd like to make an entry into PHP link directory that (i) describes the quiz and (ii) points to the specific URL for the quiz. Here are my questions:
1. Does PHP link directory expose the API for me to call from my custom app (i.e. the quiz app) that allows me to make an entry into PHP link directory? The use case is as follows: When a teacher or quiz author makes a new quiz, I'd like them to check a box that invokes an API call that puts an entry into PHP link directory.
2. I really like the fact that I can rate/recommend links from phpLD. Does a user have to be logged into make a recommendation/rating/comment to a link?
3. Does PHP link directory expose the ability for a 3'rd party app to register or login a new user from an external site? I envision people will register at my quiz site, but when searching for quizzes with PHP link directory, they need to be logged in to do a rating/recommendation/comment.
4. To accomplish the above 3 questions, does this HAVE to be done with phpLD 3.0 only? Or can it be done with the 2.x version as well?
Thank you all.
