see Note at the bottom of this page
Script #1: Top Site Script
The top site script allows you to easily run your own top site - or even
multiple top sites.
- If you want to run just one top site, you can install the top site script
in just one directory.
- If you want to run multiple top sites, you can install multiple copies
of the top site script in different directories. Each of your top sites
can either use a different MySQL database, or if you prefer you can share
a single MySQL database for multiple top sites (useful if your web host only allows
one or a limited number of MySQL databases).
The top site script includes three main areas of functionality:
- The user pages where your visitors can view and vote on your top site.
- The members' pages where webmasters who wish to participate in your
top site can join, get their linking codes, and manage their accounts.
- An administration page (password protected of course) from which you
can manage your top site.
User page features (many of which are controlled by your configuration options)
include:
- Your top site can include as many web site listings as you want.
- Each web site listing includes a Title, Description, an optional
Banner image, and a link to that web site.
- You can setup a list of banned words (example: offensive words or phrases)
that members are not allowed to use in their Titles or Descriptions.
- You can setup a list of banned URLs (and partial URLs) that members
are not allowed to use.
- You can choose whether links to your member web sites are opened in
a new window or the existing browser window.
- For each web site listing, the top site automatically tracks the
total number of incoming votes, the current number of incoming votes,
the total number of outgoing votes, and the current number of outgoing votes.
- "Incoming" votes, are clicks on a link on a member web site
leading to your top site.
- "Outgoing" votes, are clicks on your top site, leading to
a member web site.
- "Total" votes, are the total number of clicks since that
listing was added.
- "Current" votes, are the number of clicks since that counter
was last reset (it can be reset periodically or manually).
- You can set how often the current incoming and outgoing votes are reset.
- You can specify how many of the top site listings may include banners
(for example: if you have a top 50, you might only want to display banners
for the top 3 listings).
- You can choose whether to include a "Site Of The Moment" listing before
the main top site listings.
- If enabled the "Site Of The Moment" can be selected based on any of
six criteria that you specify:
- The site that most recently received an incoming vote.
- The site that most recently was sent an outgoing vote.
- The site that most recently had its current votes reset.
- The site that least recently received an incoming vote.
- The site that least recently was sent an outgoing vote.
- The site that least recently had its current votes reset.
- You can customize the layout of the top site page.
- You can order the results in the top site page by any of four different
orders.
- Sites with higher total incoming votes are higher ranked.
- Sites with higher total outgoing votes are higher ranked.
- Sites with higher current incoming votes are higher ranked.
- Sites with higher current outgoing votes are higher ranked.
- You can choose whether to include listings for sites with zero total
incoming votes.
- You can choose whether to include listings for sites with zero current
incoming votes.
- You can choose whether to pad out your top site (if there are not
enough items) with "Add Your Site" links.
- You can prevent cheating by using a gateway page (when a user clicks
on a voting link on one of your member's web sites, the user is sent to
an intermediate page on your site before their vote is accepted).
- You can customize the layout of the gateway page.
- You can also use IP address info, and optionally cookies, for additional
protection against cheating.
Functions for your webmasters members (again controlled by configuration):
- Members can add their sites.
- You can be notified automatically via email when a new member joins.
- You can set whether new members are approved automatically (and thus
can appear in the top site immediately) or are placed in a pending status
until you have reviewed them for appropriateness.
- Members are emailed a password automatically when they add their site,
and they can use this to access their account management page.
- Members can use their account management page to:
- Read a welcome message from you (you can customize this message to)
- Update their details
- Change their password
- Retrieve the voting link code to place on their sites (a text link and up to 10 banners)
- Review their voting statistics
- You can customize the appearance of the members' account management pages.
- You can set the system to notify you automatically via email when a new
site joins.
Your administration functions include:
- You can review all sites, approved sites, or pending sites.
- You can see detailed information for any site, including IP logging
information for incoming and outgoing votes, and even discarded duplicate
votes.
- You can delete any member site.
- You can edit any member site.
- You can reset the current votes for any member site, or for all member
sites.
- You can change the status for any site between pending and approved (and vice-versa).
- You can lock (or unlock site). A locked site can remain active in the top
site, but the member will not be able to change their details.
- All administration functions are password protected, but for additional
security you can also (optionally) restrict access to the admin screen to
a computer with a specific IP address (useful if you have a fixed IP address
on your network or broadband connection).

Script #2: Poll Script
This easy to use script allows you to add voting polls to your site, which
is a great way to make your web site more interesting and attract repeat
visitors.
The poll script includes two main areas of functionality:
- An administration page (password protected of course) from which you
can manage all your polls.
- The user pages where your visitors can participate in your polls and
see the results of your polls.
Administration features include:
- Create as many polls as you want.
- Each poll may have up to 10 possible answers.
- Administration screen generates the HTML code for voting forms for
each poll.
- Your polls may be displayed using a large voting form (using radio buttons
for the options) or
a compact voting form (using a drop down list for the options).
- Administration screens include functions to review all of your polls.
- Administration screens allow you to delete any poll that is no longer
needed.
- You can lock (and unlock) polls which are complete
and for which you do not wish to receive further votes.
- All administration functions are password protected, but for additional
security you can also (optionally) restrict access to the admin screen to
a computer with a specific IP address (useful if you have a fixed IP address
on your network or broadband connection).
User features include:
- Run as many polls at the same time as you want.
- You can incorporate the voting forms into your existing web pages.
- The script automatically prevents users voting more than once in any poll
by using both IP address info and cookies.
- Each poll has an associated results page. This can be displayed
automatically after a user votes, or you can link directly to it.
- You can fully customize the appearance of the results page.
- Display of poll results includes the
number of votes and percentage of total votes for each option
and a bar-chart like display of each options popularity.

Script #3: Click/Counter Tracker Script
The click and counter tracker script allows you to track the total number
of visitors and number of unique visitors (based on IP Address) visiting
any of your advertising links.
Using the script you can:
- Track the number of visitors to any of your advertising links.
- Track the number of visitors to any of your web pages, without a nasty
big visible counter (requires a tiny 1X1 pixel image be placed in your web
pages).
After installation, using the script is dead-easy:
- You log-in to the administration page.
- From the administration page, you can create new trackers, delete
existing trackers, reset the counter on any tracker, etc.
- Each tracker includes the following information:
- An ID code which you choose to uniquely identify that tracker (any short alphanumeric string will do).
- A Description (to remind you what the tracker is recording)
- A Destination URL (whether the visitor is supposed to go)
- Count of the total number of visitors, and number of unique visitors (using IP address tracking)
that have been via that tracker.
- To count clicks on an advertising link:
- When setting up the tracker, for the Destination URL, you
enter the URL that you want to promote.
- The script will give you a special Tracking URL.
- When placing your ads, give the Tracking URL.
- The Tracker will automatically count visitors, but silently and automatically
sent visitors to the Destination URL.
- To count visitors to your web pages:
- When setting up the tracker, for the Destination URL, you
enter the URL of a 1X1 pixel on your web site.
- The script will give you special Tracking HTML code.
- You place the special Tracking HTML code in your web pages.
- The Tracker will count visitors to your web pages,
silently and totally automatically.
Script #4: Feedback Form Script
The feedback form allows you to place a form on your site, your visitors
fill it out, and the information that they submit is emailed to you at
an address you choose.
Here is an example of a Feedback Form, your forms may
(of course) include any combination of fields that you like:
|
You can design your feedback form to include as many fields as you want,
and the fields can be of any type you want
(include text, textareas for long text comments, drop down lists and more).
What happens when the user submits their feedback?
Answer: It's sent to an address of your choice.
Here's an example:

Now, I won't pretend that there aren't other form-to-email/formmail
scripts out there, of course there are. However, many of them date back
to the 1990s and a full of security holes and other problems. Here is
why you should choose ours:
- Many formmail scripts can be subverted by spammers. These scripts
have a bug that allows a spammer to use your web site to send spam to
innocent people! And you'd get the blame! Unlike these scripts -
our script is totally secure, it can only ever send email to the address
that you specify - i.e. you!
- For extra security, unlike traditional formmail scripts, our script
tags every form submission with the IP address of the person submitting
the form.
- Many formmail scripts have a limited number of prespecified fields.
Unlike these scripts - our script allows you to have as many fields
on as many different subjects as you like.
