Hey Guys, hope I'm not too late. Got called into the office today :-( Edit: I see now the contest goes till April 4th! Somehow I got it in my head it was midnight of the 19th. Because of that, keep in mind this link will probably _not_ work for quiet some time as I will be improving it a lot. Thanks!
Anyways, here is a preview of my Downloader script: http://erulabs.com/p/darkblizz_downloads/
Here is the main class (please don't outright steal my code. Let me know and I will be glad to help you out) for the downloader... I wrote this from scratch last night and today after work, as I havn't worked in PHP in a very long time. http://erulabs.com/p/darkblizz_downloads/downloader_class.phps
Still todo: (am working currently)
Comments (backend complete, havnt written the HTML yet)
Rating input (backend complete, havnt written the HTML yet)
Javascript fancies ('Uploading...')
CSS fancies (Uploader page needs serious cosmetic help)
Icons for filetypes, icons for ratings (I'll use little stars probably)
Cool Features:
Categories!
Awesome search feature.. Should work magic
Sorting/Ordering tables. May consider replacing with a jQuery style plugin. We will see.
Extendability - all designed as a class. Front end is 100% disposable.
Ultra fast MySQL queries (1 query per page limit)
Totally CSS styled (no hardcoded styles anywhere, so will be a snap to fit to any site changes)
Can use MySQL4 or 5 and can easily be converted to Postgres or MSSQL.
I am also more than willing to help implement it here, and am also more than willing to forgo the 15$ cash. I needed a small PHP project to keep myself up to date anyways, and I'm glad to be able to help out.
I will PM Myst shortly with more details and a version that allows you to upload (sorry, my bandwidth is very limited). Will also update here when the planned features get finished (within the next hour or two... I need food!)
Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions or comments.
Thanks, and good luck to everyone on getting a key!
