Help with user-generated listing
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 10:45 pm
I am trying to create user generated listing on my website.
Right now I have an html with form that allows users to fill in information about websites. When they click the submit button I want that information about websites to display on another page (probably php). Also, I want a ranking system available so users can click a star or thumbs up-thumbs down system (it really doesn't matter) and adjust the ranking of the entries on the web page automatically as users vote. In addition, I want the users to be able to edit any of the entries as to correct or update the information. Perhaps some control management would be necessary to prevent spamming or misuse. Furthermore, I would like each of those entries to have the ability for comments.
I know this is a lot to ask for, but if you could provide information on any of these things or the methodology on how this system would be constructed, it would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to keep costs as low as possible so if there is any open-source scripts or free code available that would aid in my development that would be awesome.
Thanks for all of your help.
