  Story « Back
Script Craziness
Posted By: GameLinx on 11/12/2009

I have spent countless hours trying to improve "The Portal" project, and it made my fingers almost bleed.  The script that was written when I got hold of it, was so messed up, it needed some major re hauling.  The Portal had so many non user friendly bugs!



I have been trying to contact the owners of scriptspal.com but they keep shrugging me off, until I mentioned about their authentication stuff, because when their site is offline, so is your administrative abilities. (Thier site goes offline at least once an hour, for about 30 min)  I asked if there was a way to remove the authentication, then they promply responded "You can get the full licence, if you pay more". I never went back to their site again.



Customer service was horrible.  If you are going to make a script, you better support it, and update it or its gonna come crashing down.  They will eventually go out of business, and this script will become abandonware, or copyleft.



I have fixed all the known bugs so far, but that doesn’t mean this version is stable.   Nice job guys, really nice job! (sarcasm)

One example that really bothered me, was the fact that I could not edit the comments in "The Portal".  At the time of this post, I just fixed that problem with a few database code entries that fix an error communicating to the database.  Now I can, as Admin, delete and modify comments.  Now I can defend myself against spam!  Amazing they didn�t fix that...

Wow, now I can delete spam, but if someone makes a mistake and wants me to fix their comment post, I have to delete it.  Edit does not work.  Very Lame!
