BBS (forum) |
Its main feature is
that "it allows a user to post messages as well as post replies to existing
messages. WebBBS keeps track of which messages are posts and which ones are
replies and displays them in a hierarchical tree-like fashion. Posts that
start new topics are at the top of each tree, and the replies are shown
indented beneath the original posts. WebBBS is also fully integrated with
the user authentication library discussed above. Additionally, it allows a
user to restrict the number of messages through a variety of query
mechanisms. The user can conduct a keyword search and display only those
messages that satisfy the search. The user can also select a range of dates
within which the viewed messages were posted. For example, a user could
choose to see only messages posted between 6/1/96 and 6/10/96. In addition,
the user can select a range of posts based on age in days, and choose to
see, for example, only those messages posted between two days ago and four
days ago." |
| COUNTER |
Features include: blocking of multiple hits
from the same user, insertion of commas, text-based or graphical
modes, supports multiple counters from the same script, and tracks
users' browsers, operating systems, and location. (requires SSI or
GD.pm) |
| CHAT |
WebChat is a useful application that allows
a number of people on the World Wide Web to talk to one another
simultaneously. The ability to chat on the Web can be a quick way to
hold a virtual meeting. |
| FORMMAIL |
FormMail is a generic WWW form to e-mail
gateway, which will parse the results of any form and send them to
the specified user. This script has many formatting and operation+al
options, most of which can be specified through the form, meaning
you don't need any programming knowledge or multiple scripts for
multiple forms. This also makes FormMail the perfect system-wide
solution for allowing users form-based user feedback capabilities
without the risks of allowing freedom of CGI access. |
| GUESTBOOK |
Extropia's WebGuestbook is "configurable so
that you can specify what your guestbook file looks like and how the
script-generated responses are displayed. Most of the configuration
takes little more than a knowledge of HTML, so it is fairly easy to
use. In addition, the user can select a range of posts based on age
in days, and choose to see." |
