Ok, this isn't really a suggestion, because I originally had a suggestion for a hack, but I'm doing the hack myself, so this is more of a statement for what I'm doing and if anyone else could use it.<br /><br />So, basically this is how it works. It will really just be an addon and not really a hack, but since it uses the threads users table I figured it somewhat belongs here <img src="/forum/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br />Ok, on my site I currently have a "Recovery List". Since we are an off-roading oriented site, people sometimes go out in the woods alone, get stuck and need help getting unstuck without paying expensive fees for a tow truck. So, we put together this recovery list so people can call someone nearby if they are in trouble.<br /><br />Well, its all good and great, one person was heading this up and he was manually entering people's info in plain HTML as people emailed it to them. Well, our site is getting large, people are changing locations and phone numbers, and he can't keep up. <br /><br />So, I come in with my brilliant idea <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> I simply make a database for this. Then write the scripts so that users browsing the site can go to the recovery page, via cookies it recognizes who it is and if will give them an option to Add or Edit their recovery info. Users plug in the required info, and there it is.<br /><br />Then for displaying the list, there would be two modes. A plain text list, because users bug me they want to stick it in their PDAs and such, and also another list that you can do by county. If a users clicks on XXX county, it will display people available in the area, etc. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Not to complicated really, and my php skills are getting better so it should be fun. Of course I can tailor it to my needs, but I could release a more general version of the hack for others to use for whatever other reasaon, whether it be an address book type feature or whatever <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />So, today I begin working on that. I might as well, its sunday and I'm stuck in a cubicle at work for 13 hours today <img src="/forum/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Let me know of this can be of use to anyone <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
