I am looking for an open source solution or a not very expensive approach to a download center script that can do a similar job like download.com. To be more specific, it should have all the features of a link directory, only for software products. Can anyone recommend a few such scripts ? Best regards
there is clone of download script,you can search for clone script in DP. but xoops is also better for download.
Do you know any Shareware Download Center implementation or live example of such a download center using XOOPS ? I would like to see features in a live working implementation of what I am looking for. Regards
you can check modules here http://www.xoops.org/modules/repository/viewcat.php?cid=86 http://lungmicroarray.org/lbtl/modules/mydownloads/ just search some software on google with powered by xoops. i mean "download software ,powered by xoops" you'll find many more.
An implementation of something like this : http://www.upyou.it/mydownloads+index.htm only much better and with more features would do. If anyone knows exact modules that can be used or mods to get XOOPS to be used as a shareware download center please recommend, I want get a result very similar to download.com or approximately those features. Regards
I am not sure if these are exactly what you are looking for but they are quite similar: Downloads Store Script Store Website Script Scripts Store
Not exactly what I am looking for and most of all I need more powerful features. I mean take a look at download.com and you can see how registerd users can rate the software , leave comments, etc. Also I would like software publishers to be able to submit using the PAD file format. There are already 100s of such websites online, there has to be a ready made script that I could customize to fit my exact needs. Please come up with more suggestions. Regards
Then again, something like http://www.windowsmarketplace.com would do just perfect I am not talking about the beautiful design but actually I am looking at the features and ways to interact. What CMS can bring me these features ? How can I make such an implementation ? Thank you for your time.
Yes such a script would be good. Is it available for purchase ? What more details can you give me ? Thank you for your time.
No friend its not for sale. Its custom coded. But yes the tips are here: XOOPS will be the best choice if you don't want a custom coded solution. Next is To get some free opensource directory script and then integrate the other code in it. For this you will have to write that other codes by yourself or hire someone. To see some very good sites on this subject search google for "sharewares" It will give you some more ideas.
Are you aware of any ready-made solution on the market that I could try in case I don't want to code and/or create a hybrid solution myself? Thank you
This looks excellent, but I do not understand one thing: is the software publisher going to come to my website and submit his software for listing / selling or is URA getting automatically all regnow software products that are under my regnow affiliate account and listing them automatically ? I mean.. is this like download.com or any other shareware website where somebody can submit using a PAD file or is it automatically importing all software products from Regnow and simply ... selling them ... Thank you for your time and patience.
I buy this srcript (URA) and is easy for use and customize it. You have about 12.500 software in db integrated and ready for sell. This is an example : www.softmrm.com but now i working at other design and i try to integrate more stuff..scripts from net....best regards and good luck with your choice...
That looks wonderful. So all I need to do is register with RegNow and use one time my account with the installing of URA and I get an online shop of over 12.500 software products ? Is that it ? (sounds too good to be true )
(I posted similar response in http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=2754801#post2754801) We have the original PADkit system available for download at our site - as well as some (admittedly small) forums about PADkit MODs, security, preventing submission spammers, PADkit wish list, etc... PADkit - the PAD site starter kit If you didn't know what PADkit is, it is PHP based website script that uses a MySQL database and PAD XML files to create a download site. Some PAD files order URL value only needs to have the correct affiliate ID appended to start making commissions.
