php - community upload/download site recommendations? (like StackOverflow, but for uploads & downloads instead of Q&A) -


Our company wants to offer a "plug-in gallery" or "app store" where our (packaged enterprise software) product Users of our product can find, download and share plug-ins. I assume that we have to create our own site (although "purchase" solution will be welcome), so we are looking for inspiration. Who has done this right?

My experience with mainstream app stores / plug-galleries (like or) is not good. You will have to get through a lot of nonsense as much as what you want, the browse interface is generally disappointing, and it is difficult to choose between many similar objects.

At the other end of the spectrum, CodePack or SourceForge allows rich collaboration of individual projects, but we feel that we look more like the symmetry than we need and generally browse / search Do not use useful jobs on votes, non-developers are required to help in finding the right plugin.

Honestly, what I see is something that will be a stack overflow if it focuses on uploads and downloads instead of the question and answer. I'm looking for sites that use innovative human motivation (like playing games, time of waste, and popular but hate to do busy work) so that more content and better searchability for everyone Can be built.

What is your favorite site (s) that do new things in this place? I will accept the answers with the best examples. This can be a site that removes me or many who really add good ideas. We can re-brand and use additional credits for an open source or business solution!

Some of the requirements that I am thinking are below, so you can think of what we are doing:

should be

  • Use tag for taxonomy
  • Great browsing experience (PDF)
  • Ability to upload, download, review and rate (ideal) Form elevation / downvote, no stars)
  • Metadata filtering (for example by product version or author) and
  • Extraordinary SEO (to find plugins from Google)
  • Low noise, high - Relevance UI (Contrast)
  • HTTP API so that we can browse & amp;
  • Search for plug-ins for smarter manner motivated, especially for many good uploads (like points, badges, hall of fictional pages, etc.)
  • uploaded for , The ability to host screenshots, HTML details, and (obviously) uploaded plugins

    • should be

    • one "Wanted" section where people can post a request for the desired plugins (and others can extend those requests
    • A good way to integrate paid and free plugins in the UI is to ask questions and answer questions about free writers, paid authors and downloaders
    • plugins Regarding the information that applies to software downloads, licensing, pricing, and other stuff for our supoprt Q & A, the way (hint: we're probably using a StackExchange site) for our supoprt Q & A
    • Aware
    • Optimized to work well for UI and community model 2000 plugins
    • One way to get direct access to T is to install the underlying database of metadata about each plugin Therefore, we can run sophisticated questions that can not handle normal keyword searches

    Good

    • a collaboration The environment where multiple users can work together on plugins Are
    • a "private sector" (eg to share plug-ins with a restricted audience.
    • Issue Tracker for Contributors Tracking Periodic Support Issues
    • Payment Integration

    I do not think you will find an existing open source product that fits your" 100% ". I do not know an application that does everything

    If you get an application that matches your 60% requirements, then you can save the remaining 40% on the top of the existing application can add? For example,

    I think this is better than starting your application from scratch.

    Good luck!

    sql - dynamically varied number of conditions in the 'where' statement using LINQ -

    I am using my first project LINQ (in mvc), so maybe there's something very simple that I remember. However, a day of searching and experimenting does not work, so it works. I am trying to write a LINQ query (Linux to SQL) in which in many cases where the statement is different from an OR or an AND. We do not know how many conditions are going in the query till runtime. This search is for filter control, where the user can choose multiple criteria for filtering. Select from table where table.col = 1 or table.col = 2 or table.col = 7 .... 'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

    asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

    I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
