I have a new web app that needs to be tested. It'll work well with any microniche site. It adds content based on your keyword by creating a "fake" forum and is very simple to install and add into a wordpress page. PM me/post here if you're interested.
 
count me in too. Could use some traffic to a MNS I kind of abandoned to revive it, thx
 
Sent everyone a PM... hopefully I can get a bit of feedback on it.
 
I'm sure I can test with a site of mine...
Let me know if you still have a spot left.

Cheers.
 
Sounds great !! Lemme know if you have any spots for me.
 
Sent everyone a PM. Need some actual feedback now. If you aren't going to test the program please don't request using it.
 
I'd like to join if you're still letting people! I have a few sites that I'm willing to test it out on.

Well I got my hosting sorted so I set this up on a dummy site. My cron job's set to run at midnight so I'll wait to see what happens.

Observations so far:

- The installer didn't seem to like my secure password for MySQL. I had something like $$mypassword## as my password. Not sure if it was the $ signs or the # signs that killed it, but I switched to a different password and that worked.
- No problems with the license key.
- On the Home screen I added a keyword, checked off "Add Anchors..." and also "Rewrite posts...". I wasn't sure if we were supposed to do this because it wasn't in your instructions, but we'll see what happens.

I'll report back here once I see it post something.

Yea I actually found out about that bug with the $ today. The $ inside the password made it into a variable. Thanks for the outlook.

To make it post just go the "Renew Settings" page and it'll show everything you need to make it start posting.
 
Okay I just took a look at my dummy site and I ended up with 7 posts:

- Left column looks great. Got all different people with icons. Some really funky names though, lol.
- Center column looked fine. I got my keyword there with URL inserted in all but one of the posts. One of the posts had the hyperlink twice in the same comment.
- Also in the center column with the comments there was one posted 5 times like this: "Bob Smith <keywordhere>"
- Right column looks great as well, I like the variety there.

Looks good so far. It'd be great if you could improve sentence rewrites/spintax for the comments. Also, I'm not sure who the target audience for this plugin is for but hopefully you'll have good documentation for this. I took a look at customization of the appearance but I'm not an expert with with the PHP/coding stuff, although I could probably bang my head against the wall enough to get it to work. It'd be nice if you could have a GUI where we could customize all that, but that may be a lot of work.

Also is there a way to limit the amount of comments or change the amount displayed? I'm wondering if it just rotates the comments that are there with new ones and then the old ones are deleted.

One thing that will be really hard to improve without having a huge 20mbish file to upload :/

It'll be aimed at anyone in IM including BHW... but I yea there is documentation that'll supplement it. I understand it's pretty weird to use off that bat.

Well the version I gave everyone is still in bytecode so you wouldn't really be able to edit it. The way it works is that all the posts are inside an array and each posts value is inside it's own array ... arrayception... also known as multidimensionsal arrays. It will probably be easier to understand when you see the code unencoded.

There's a way to limit the amount displayed, but you'd have to edit the default template to do it (I'd have to send out the nonbytcode version a little later). With the default template it'd be easy though, you just change 1 variable.

All comments are saved into the database (the default template shows "latest" posts first. Note all posts are given a random time of when they were added in to make it more realistic) and every time the cron runs or you add new posts it looks for about 10 more. There could be dupes but that usually happens when you run on smaller niches.
