Hi everyone, I'm a professional coder who does freelance projects. I've finished coding a Mod to integrate a rating system into PHP Link Directory. This rating feature can be turned on or off in the admin control panel and it stores the IP address of users so that they can only submit 1 rating per link.

You can have a look at the Mod in action here:
{was a test url}

To ease David's financial burden on adding mods to the PHP Link Directory application, I'm proposing a new way of getting new mods. Professional coders can offer their service on this board and members can donate to each coder to support the mod that they produce. Currently, the only way that I can think of is to donate to PHP Link Directory and post a message on the thread stating how much you've donated to support the mod. That way, after collecting enough money, David will release the money to the coder and the mod will be posted on the board and delivered to David to be integrated to the main application. What do you guys think of this?

This can ensure fast implementation of new mods and less financial burden on David to provide new mods.

Thank you.

Thanks for posting, yktan
You make great points, and it sure would be great if we could get a little help. We are not far from having one of the best products available (free or otherwise).

Cool! This looks like a very useful mod, thanks for the contribution!

I haven't downloaded the mod and tried it out myself yet, but I did check out your demo. I get the following errors when using it:

1) This appears at the top of the page:

Content visible to registered users only.

2) When I try to rate any links, I get the error:

Content visible to registered users only.

It would appear these problems are related. Do these issues present themselves in the download of the mod, or are they a temporary problem unique to your demo site?

cheers
SAM :)

Hi solutionsphp,

Thank you for trying out my demo page! As I am constantly changing the scripts to demonstrate other Mods, the demo page is pretty messy right now and therefore, the results are not very accurate.

The first error that you encountered must be the result of me changing functions.php to test out the Reciprocal link validation fix.

Yes you are right. Since the function to validate IP does not exist, the second error is most likely the result of it.

If you're interested in testing out the script, I can set it up again tomorrow. It's time for bed now.

Thanks for taking interest in my Mod!

Regards,
York Kie
