Has Anyone Ever...

Thanks guys. What I should have mentioned in the first place was what Lemmy said about just inserting code into existing pages. That's what I'm wanting to do. Just generate code, insert into pages and let the script add in the links and do the rest. I kinda like the idea of having submitters create a login account to submit. These scripts are just so pricey. I know I'm going to have to spend money though on a great script because my link list is just getting out of hand.

In the long run, a quality script will be money well spent

I ran into the situation you describe when I converted FPP to script the first time. Ended up solving as desbribed in this thread with ssi calls.

The new custom script is more flexible so that's not an issue now. But, a custom script has sooooo many other issues

Did you write the script yourself? If not, care to recommend a reliable script writer? Maybe I'll be better off purchasing a ready-made one. So confusing and so many options.

No, I didn't write it...and that's been part of the problem...keeping a decent coder working. Went through 2 prior to the guy who works on it now.

In hindsight, I'd absolutely go with an off the shelf script by someone who's known and trusted. If you have any special tweaks you want/need, talk to them about it and they very well may be able to do it for a reasonable fee. I've heard nothing but rave reviews of Dragonlist by Venturi and Mishi

I don't even wanna think about how much cash I've sunk into this script

I think I'm leaning towards Dragonlist as it does everything I need and is a little bit cheaper than some other scripts out there. Not to sound like a cheapskate or anything!
