Does anyone know of an open source traffic trading script project ? - GoFuckYourself.com

hobgoblin · 04-18-2003, 05:12 AM

I use a basic toplist written in Perl and it has obvious limitations.

Do any of you know of any available modules that could perhaps be integrated into my current toplist to expand it's functionality into a semi-decent trading script ?

Thanks for your responses.

Best Regards,
Hobgoblin

Give it a random out function and a skim function and it's a semi-decent trading script.

hobgoblin · 04-18-2003, 06:04 AM

Do you know where any open source code examples can be found ?

Libertine · 04-18-2003, 06:05 AM

Those are of no use to you since it needs to integrate with your toplist script (data storage, etc).

hobgoblin · 04-18-2003, 06:07 AM

Maybe so, but I'd still like to take a look.

any trading script written in php is effectively open script, unless they compile/encrypt it. Look around on the webmaster resource boards.

hobgoblin · 04-18-2003, 06:17 AM

I have seen one script written in php that wasn't complied but I was hoping to find a Perl example, if one exists.

Those are php (instead of perl) and not open source (taking stuff from them would be stealing).

I don't get it though - if you would find something in perl, it would need so much tweaking that you couldn't do it without knowledge of perl, and if you have knowledge of perl, this is really easy to do without examples...

hobgoblin · 04-18-2003, 06:30 AM

I suppose it would be easy if your asumption is that the individual with knowledge of Perl has written a complex trade script in Perl before and not just a simple toplist.

Libertine · 04-18-2003, 06:35 AM

Tradescripts are not that complex in comparison to toplists. What you need extra is:
1: 24-hour functionality (no resets)
2: referrer-based hit-counting
3: productivity tracking
4: "random" out feature (not really random, but hits go to those who deserve it)
5: skimming

Now, that's all very easy to do...

hobgoblin · 04-18-2003, 06:44 AM

I believe you, but being able to take a look at working examples would make things even easier for someone who is not supremely versed in Perl.

If I was a programming wizard and found it simple to create these facilities, I wouldn't be asking for examples to learn from.

I assumed he was looking for coding examples to understand the functions he needs to write in perl... I wasn't suggesting ripping off someone else's code.

If you don't know how to program in perl, I suggest you just hire a perl coder for an hour to get it done right.

Your assumption was correct.

"... I wasn't suggesting ripping off someone else's code. "

----------------------------------------------

Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand you.

I take a hands on approach and would rather just continue learning as I go.

i might help u out in exchange for some kind of nice traffic trade...

kindof hung over here now...

what else have you coded?

u know toplists are fun, but if u are going to code something mostly from scratch seriously maybe consider trying something new and unique... people love interactive sites... look at hotornot -- sure it's been copied 1000 times now, but i'm just saying it's a simple idea... like hotmail... and freehosting... come up with something new like that and youll be a rich mofo just chillin...
