really need help developing directory script
Hi all,
I was looking around for PHP communities and forums, and this seemed really active, so I hope you can help me.
You might be familiar with the WishList meme going around LJ (make 10 wishes on your LJ, grant other LJers' wishes). Well, I'm compiling the Master List for the wishlists, and it's become quite an enormous process. It would be far easier for me (and for everyone else) if there was a site where they can key in their details and it would show up automatically.
The closest thing I can find to this is phpFanBase (available from codegrrl.com), a script meant for fanlisting member management. With some tweaking, it would suit our purpose, but I'm very much a PHP newbie and I don't want to end up wrecking the script!
Here's the adjustments that are required:
Right now it works like this - Name, Email, Website, Country, Fave Section
The sections for the WishList would be Username, Link to WishList, City, Country, Friends-Only, Other Notes, and possibly Email.
The Username field would be a variable both for their "name", and for a link to their userinfo. Country would be a drop-down list akin to phpFanBase, while City would be a text box. Friends-Only would be a checkbox.
The list will be sorted alphabetically by username and country (like phpFanBase). If we want to be more ambitious, there can also be checkboxes for the types of gifts requested on their wishlist, so they can be sorted according to gift types. But that's not so urgent; the main structure, however, is.
Also, phpFanBase currently requires an admin to approve entries. It'll be better for us if the entries show up automatically, perhaps with an admin's Edit section to correct mistakes or update information.
If anyone can help us with it, we would really appreciate it! You can email me at tiara@blessedbeproductions.com for more information. Thank you ever so much!
