review system is almost complete. it already shows reviews, only review adding function isn't done yet (if you go to post a review, you'll get an error, but that's okay, because it's not complete yet). only one review is allowed for each file (hmm...at least for now, maybe multiple reviews will be allowed later on), therefore, you won't get the review form if you click 'review' on already reviewed items. later, i'll make 'review' button only appear with items that can be reviewed.
only one item has a test review now, and that's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 (ID=81)

!oh, so far you MUST use the dropdown menus in the demo since only the navigation was replaced. clicking the navigation buttons will get you the current file listings, not the new demo ones!

todo's:

lotsa optimizations!
pls give the current version a good test, i don't want the released version to have any problems. helping me to test and troubleshoot the script will also make the release faster! i'd appreciate any input.

Total Posts: 1676 | k Z, 1 major problem, and 1 minor problem with the index_test.htm page and files.cgi stuff.
the minor problem (with index_test.htm) is that admin points to admin.htm, so fix that before you rename index_test to index.
the major problem (with files.cgi), is that when you try to download something, it first prints the html tag first, so it shows up as "Location http://blah blah blah blah" or whatever... so it must be printing 'content html blah blah blah' and then printing 'Location blah"... so just change that so it only prints 'Location blah'... i'll do it right now if i don't see any evidence of you working on it (just so i don't mess you up =Þ)

Total Posts: 2486 | to tell you the truth B, i never intended on renaming that test index ad i only made it for testing. hence i didn't give it a good debug. thanks for noticing that anyways.
as of download stuff, its still a mystery to me because i didn't change the download function. hmm...i'll try to figure this out. though, if anything gets across your mind, let me know.

Total Posts: 2486 | okay B, i fixed it! was a rather weird cause for this not to work but after couple minutes i found the problem. in case you wonder what it was, it was a call to the GetUser() function that for some reason interfered with download stuff. so, instead of checking user at the beginning of the script, we now check user inside each function or when we need that. nice you've noticed that problem at first.

Total Posts: 1676 | ok Z, i made it so that Tron 82 shows up in 82 games, however, i had to rename the filename to Tron 82... (instead of Tron)... which means, that if 2 files have the same name, it will take the first one.... which is very weird...

Total Posts: 2486 | ahh, yes the problem with files is my fault and i see where it now lies. its the sort problem. i'll rework the sort stuff when i get some time. if you look at the sort stuff you'll most likely see why it is so. you can give it a try if you want, but i'll get to it as soon as i can.

(which will require a lot of changing from what i can see) we'll be able to switch the site over to the database.this is looking goodthanks Z

Total Posts: 2486 | yeah B, view all is phat! it's cool to see all the files on one page (it's a bit long tho) ya, tks for helpng me out. i just fixed the download problem. what you actually do, is move the GetUser() call from script initialization to all functions that use it. that's it. ay, i'm going to work in about 30 mins, so i'll try to work on sort when i come back. l8r

Total Posts: 2486 | don't worry bout the sort. i'll get it to work eventually. as of perl debugger, Perl Edotor prog does a fairly decent job for me. you'll also need to install the Perl runtime stuff found on perl.com or something like that to be able to run scripts. good luck! actually, right now i'm figuring out things about the sort function found in perl. it could sort our db if we split the data for it. take a look at what i made so far. i'll continue to work on it. $a and $b are the operands sort comapres. see me on AIM and i'll explain more, but there are still some changes to do there to make it fully working.
