    hey yall

    I have been searching the net high and low trying to find this script. an example of it can be found on (funnyordie dot com - its the plus/add sign found on the video thumbs). i have seen it on many other sites.
    Its basically a way for users to add a video/post to a favorites section for later viewing.
    i noticed it doesn't require any logging or user info. you can just go to the site and create a play list
    so i was wondering how it works. does it use cookies to store the videos you choose?
    is it a java or php script ?
    if any one knows anything or where i can find a script like this please let me know

    Thanks

    The one on that site (funnyordie.com) is proprietary. It's not very difficult to make though.
    They have made theirs with the javascript library Prototype. You could make one in JQuery quite easily.

    For non-logged in users it stores what they have clicked on within a cookie (these can be manipulated via javascript).
    For logged in users I guess it does the same, except with an Ajax call as well to save it to the users account.

    So when they log in next it will check to see if they are logged in, if they are - it will grab all their favourites from the database.
    If not, it will fall back onto the cookie - and load your favourites out of that.

    One more thing, they call it a 'Quicklist' on this site. Might help your search. :)
