I've tried literally hundreds of scripts over the years.. no exaggeration. I'm a script junkie. For this project I had a very special type of script in mind and after reviewing (no pun intended) several in this category, I chose Five Star.
I consider myself to be well-experienced with php, installing and customizing scripts, and decent with databases.. but still learning. There's not a script I won't tweak.
I was able to set up Five Star in a matter of minutes. Customizing was a different story. I've added several additional pieces of code to the core and done a significant amount of 'decoration' as well. Fortunately, the coding is easy to read and follow and sticks to the principles of php coding.
I've had some glitches in getting things running the way I want, but I must admit I would never be satisfied with the program out of the box. I also have numerous recommendations to hopefully further this script and perhaps make things even simpler for those just starting with it. I'm confident my ideas will at least be considered, even if briefly.
Through the glitches I received support both here in the forum and personally via email from Tim. For this, I say "thank you". Your work and efforts with this script and the quality of the script as well as your personal support far outweigh any small glitches and I would recommend this script to anyone in need of a review script.
