Rankings

[mrhoops515]

How do I allow users to rank and comment pages on my website? Is there a simple free software program to do this or is learning how to use php and mysql the only option?

The only possible way I see of doing this is to learn PHP/MySql. What you have to do, is to take input from the user and insert it into a database. Sorry :) But if anyone has a program to do this, by all means, use it.

I recommend looking through Hotscripts.com (http://hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/index.html) and search through that if you don't want to learn PHP, there should to be some free programs/scripts there that should fit your needs.

You could try looking for a script, but you rarely will be able to find one that suits your needs and integrates well with your design, system and other features.... especially if there is any other php scripting on the page.

Yes, you might have to learn php/mysql, but it's not all that difficult... certainly possible.

Didn't you write one before djr33?

That could help, but to have a fully functional setup, you'd want obviously to add ratings, and have them somehow related.
Using a database is a much more efficient way of coding that, so you can search between pages, and even have an index of most liked pages, etc etc.

Oh ok.

This one (http://www.hscripts.com/scripts/php/starrating.php) might solve the whole issue that offer free star based review system.
