Suggestions

[richhead]

Allow "Link your site" link to work on all pages, even Index... can't see the point in having it there and not being able to use it (had loads of complaints) - in fact I'm thinking of removing it from footer and only having it in the category header.

Don't send "new submission" messages when link modified (particularly if image uploaded).

Would dearly love to be able to have x columns on index and y columns on category pages (without having to do a hack).

Having disabled the user functions (didn't see the need), and having removed the need for a login before sumbitting a review, I'd like to be able to force the entry of a name (free format).

I'm sure there was more.... can't remember them at the moment...

in order:
I haven't seen the "Link your site" link. where/what is it? I'm not sure what you are suggesting? You say at one point it should "work on all pages, even Index" and then later you say "I'm thinking of removing it from footer and only having it in the category header." Seems like you are saying you want it everywhere but only in one place.

to stop sending the "Resource Modified" email, delete/comment out the following lines in modify.php

      @mail($email,$msg["10131"],$body,
         "From: $from \nMailer: Mailer/1.0");

we have already discussed the number of columns issue...

ahh, one of my pet peeves with links. IMHO the whole review/rating process is suspect unless you have thousands of reveiws/ratings or your require login. If you don't require login to add a review, isn't the requirement for adding a name somewhat pointless. The reviewer could enter just any name. At any rate, I don't see a name field in the review table. you would have to add it to the table, set it to "not null," and add it to the review html pages. What is the reference to "(free format)?"

Okay, the first point relates to the fact that the footer has a link which allows people to add a link to the directory, however whilst the footer is common to index and category pages it doesn't work on index - "you can't add a link here" message is displayed (presumably because it uses the category id to pre-fill part of the form).

I've had lots of complaints (why have a link that doesn't work)

Options: 1 - allow the link to work and leave the category blank on the form. 2 - have a different footer for index or 3 - move the link from the footer and put it in category header (I can do the latter via templates - so that's probably what I'll do)

The comment about the modify email was that I don't get a modify email, I get a "new submission" email (confusing)

We have discussed the number of columns (wanted to get all my thoughts down on paper at the same time

Hmmm I like the idea of reviews, but hated the whole 'login' thing - I wanted to be able to allow anyone to add a review, but didn't really like the anonymous bit... take your point though... I'll leave as is (free format was so that they could add any name, but that I could enforce that they enter something)

It might work in the cat_header.html file. I may even give that a try later on.

hmmm....in the modify.php there is a line that reads @mail($email,$msg["10131"],$body,

if you look at msg 10131 in the msg.php file, it reads

// email subject - autoapproved to submitter
$msg["10131"] = "Resource Modified"; 

Now I'm confused...

Well, I did say this was a pet peeve of mine... After fooling around with links programs for the past 3 years, I just finally decided I had had enough of anonymous reviews/ratings. Even if you add a name field and make it required ( see my previous post ), it is still anonymous. Sorry about "getting on my soap box" about that. The review link is on my detail page and I don't let folks see the detail page unless they are logged in...And I just removed the ratings altogether. They are all unreliable unless you have thousands of votes for the link.
