What's with the stars next to some downloads?
It's some sort of rating system.
Several people wanted it. I hesitated a lot to implement it because of the negative respone I might get from contributers. It's very hard to get a fair rating system. A user based rating system would cause a lot of problems since the KM user base is much smaller compared to flash. That way it would be very easy for a contributer to get five stars just by voting a few times or asking some friends to do so. So it has become a moderator based rating system and we agreed not to rate our own contributions.
If KM users have an opinion on if the KoolExchange needs a rating system or not and why, feel free to share it. Also if some of the contributers prefer not to be rated, you are also welcome to mention it since it's easy for the moderators to clear the rating of a contribution.
I see. Thanks for the response.
Wondering if perhaps a feedback system in the form of a bolt on guest book may give contributors indication of requests for further examples or solutions to problems, plus a comment about what they feel about existing contributions.
:) ps do I get some extra stars for thisi!!!!!! :)
There's three moderators now for KoolExchange so I activated the moderator approval. With an 8 hour time interval an automatic check is performed. If there are new submissions all moderators will get a notification by e-mail about it. So normally a submission will be approved within 24 hours.
Do you think we help out here as an ego thing?Quote:

No, I don't but there's a lot of KM users and not everyone is the same.Quote:

Third issue is that it will generate more database update queries and data traffic and I'm always trying to keep things as fast as possible.
I'm one of them. The other two are other KM users.Quote:

Besides that it's also a way of preventing abuse. On a regular basis I encounter sites that are abused for promoting some sort of product when unauthorized database inserts are allowed. Especially those guys who are promoting products like V1agra and C1al1s always search for ways to draw attention to their product.
not sure what that means, as my experience has always been that numerous contributors have been generous in their answers and help.Quote:

I just happy we have the resource, Not sure about the star ratings but if it helps know what the mods reccomend maybe it's usefull.
As for him not mentioning who's doing the approvals I'm guessing its so there is no finger pointing if for instance if a submission doesn't get a high rating. For me I say we wait and see how it goes.
I hear what you are saying and can agree with it to some extent. You have to understand that although I programmed the KoolExchange web application it's an official KM site. I didn't decide on my own to put the rating system in and I can't decide on my own to take it out. I do think it can help visitors but I also agree its subjective. Maybe we should have some sort of poll here to figure out how the KM community feels about it.Quote:

I mention you because you built it. I mention Stokes, because like me, he's in there Stokin. I mention everyone collectively because it's all for you.
Decisions were made...the stars are there...it's done. Now fill it. We cannot risk losing the resource created and all the work to get here for stars.
I atill want to know who are the mods?
I just found out...nevermind
Ok lets agree that whatever system we have or dont have is accademic without contributions, and let us get back to submitting. (some files that is, not giving in!)
and regain the imputus that existed this time last week.
Well put Stoke. I owe you a round at the pub. :thumbsup:
Yeah I notice there wasn't anything new last few days. I'm working on a couple more
I've been swamped with work but I'll get a few more in.
I just posted a couple, waiting for approval..
I'll split some time off tomorrow to get a few more in as well.
We are just getting our legs on this project. It's the beginning of something that a year from now, you will all be able to look back on and feel good about. The stars right now seem important, but that is because we have what, 25 files? When we have a thousand they won't matter so much...and after that it will be like Wilbert said....a guide. It will be self sustaining because people will want to be a part of it.
Any submission is a good one. All things are worthy...from the simplest button to the most complicated tutorial belongs. We need them all. I can't draw to save my life so I'm useless in a lot of categories...but I know this platform has people capable in all categories. Some are new like me and Stoke.....some are old friends like Remus and Wilbert....some have yet to arrive but come they will and that is where they will go once they do. You all have a chance to be part of it in whatever way you choose with whatever you have to offer.
If we can just get our legs, all of us together, we'll be ok.
Hey Wilbert...could I get that General Server Side category back. I have a bunch of items that are not xml or mysql but use things like PHP. Like the backends I snake with and all different things(Twisted listers...tons of flavors, etc).
I'm making one right this minute that shows how to use LoadVars sendAndLoads sending POSTs and picked up with PHP Switch statements and case/break. I think tomorrow I'll also have the same in an if/else flavor. These are must know things for all flashers into external data. You will use these. I would like to put them in a General Server Side if possible because I have more to come.
They are cool little all-in-ones that have the entire php script for copy/paste and the entire actionscript to create the buttons and return textfield created with scripting ready to paste in a blank movie. If approved that is ;)
Fun with backends ?Quote:

Perfect :thumbsup:
'Fun with backends' is added again.
For those who want to show the latest 10 additions on their website
http://www.koolexchange.com/rss.php
Thank you sir ;)
Nice touch with the RSS feed Wilbert. I'm going to display it in my core constantly (once I code a small rss window that is ;)). Any plans on adding a tiny rss graphic at the exchange with a tooltip to remind users and on graphic click loading the feed url in a window or url textfield copy/paste box right inside the movie? It would compliment that nice addition of a feed.
Just added two background scenes that can be used in a animation. Or use it as you like. I don't care what Bret or Wilbert rates them at (didn't want to rate my own). Just hope someone finds some use for them. I need to go through my old cd's and see what I have saved. I know I've deleted alot. ;)
So far, nice work guys, on the stuff you've submitted so far! :) Looks like KoolExchange will have alot of stuff before long.
I don't know yet Chris. That orange color is very dominant compared to the rest. I also don't know how Bob feels about it.Quote:

Forget I mentioned.
I'm just happy to have the feed to pull in ;)
I agree and of course that includes you too Joe.Quote:
