OT: Author-archiving PHP/MySQL software

[CA Moore <circamoore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wait, this looks close to spam, but I'll take a chance
that at least some of you are interested and don't
already know :)
The rest of you can locate the delete key, right?

Sending this to the list becuase I know there are a
fair number of you that maintain websites, and Kimber
raised the topic with relation to Exquisite

I've had a look at the "Storyline" SW used as the
basis of the adultfanfiction.net site.

It works 'out of the box' (good if you're 'programming
lazy'), only a 5 minute php driven install if you know
your server details, and have a compatible config.
(PHP >= 4.1, 1 * MySQL database)

It's available from:
http://www.iodesigns.co.uk/

It's fairly similar to fanfiction.net also:
Authors set the caregory and rating details when they
upload. As the administrator you have control of the
category/subcategory definitions.

Points:
* The program does all the storage in MySQL tables so
is heavily reliant on database performance.
* It needs at least PHP 4.1 as it relies on
'superglobals' introduced in this version (the docs
don't say this, and the code doesn't check)
* It has no support for indexing by coupling, although
for a small site, the category/subcategory system
could be made to serve.
* the SW may or may not be implicated in AFF slowing
to a crawl (it's probably a combination of factors)

Well, I didn't know about it; until I looked:)
