Development of gpBux (a PTC script)

This is to notify you all that a brand new PTC (Paid-To-Click) script is under development.

It is being coded in PHP (I'm on v-5.2.3).
Would be completely xHTML1.0 and CSS2 compliant.

For now, i have temporarily named it as gpBux.

It will include some high class and user friendly features,
like :

Templating / Skinning system

• Separate templates for each section of a page, like header, main content, page wrapper, footer.
• Templates are grouped together, forming a skin. This would allow installation of multiple skins.
• Skin and template management possible right from the Admin Panel.

User Pages

• User profile pages.
• Showing stats like how many websites viewed, referrals made, earnings, etc.. of a user.
• User can opt not to show his earnings.
• Contact info of a user
• Anonymous mailer (receive mails from other users without exposing your email address)

User Control Panel

• Manage your account from this panel.
• Edit your email, password and other contact info.
• Enable / disable anonymous mailer
• Show / Hide detailed account statistics on profile page

Bookmarks / Favorites

• Bookmark an ad you had visited
• Allows bookmarking from 3 places : Archive, Browse Ads page, While viewing the ad itself

Tags

• Users can tag a particular ad with keywords for future / reference purposes.
• Tags are search-able.
• Users can list all the ads tagged with a particular keyword or keyphrase.

Statistics Page

• Top statistics listed on a separate page
• Users that have the highest amount of ad visits
• Users that have the highest number of referrals
• Users with highest earnings
• They will be listed in this page of only they have chosen so, in the User Panel.
• Top stats can be displayed on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.

Expired ads get shifted to archive

• Expired ads won't get deleted permanently.
• Adverts, upon expiration, will get shifted to an archive.
• Users can browse thru the archive ads, if it interests them, but they won't be credited for it.

Plugin / Addon System

• Plugin system would allow users to place and execute custom PHP code.
• Custom code can be inserted only at predefined plugin locations.
• This allows inserting PHP code in the script without editing its core files.

Admin Control Panel

• Comprehensive control panel, giving you full control of the script.
• Edit users and the associated statistics (& earnings too, if required).
• Can manually create user accounts too.
• 2 modes for advert approval : Manual and Automated :-
• Manual : Each ad has to be approved by an Admin manually before going live.
• Manual : Time period between the payment & ad going live is more as approval can take time.
• Automated : Upon successful payment, the ad goes live automatically.
• Automated : Time period between payment & ad going live is less as the approval is instant.
• Ability to manually create ads and editing an already 'live' ad.
• User Banning system. [Length of the ban can be chosen]
• Turning On/Off profile pages, top stats, mailer, tags, bookmarks, etc.

If you have some cool features and options in mind, post them here right away. If they are good and worthwhile, i would surely include them in the to-do list.

The price tag that i have thought of a [single] license of this script is in the $25-75 USD range. Feel free to suggest features; price tags of script license, branding-free script license, skin/template/theme rates; license time period; and maybe a new name for this script too.

I have just started working on this project. And i suppose it will take a large amount of time (months...) for me to complete and beta test it. So, don't expect this project to be finished in a month or two.

:twisted:

Have your say.
Awaiting your replies / comments / suggestions etc...

Thanx,
Shadab.

what you think about Plugin or Addon supproted script. This will help this script to make place.
25$ with branding option and 75$ without branding is good.
licence time 1 year.
After one year 5 or 10$ per year if want to get updates.

Plugin and Addon system looks like a good idea.

This will allow the other developers and end-users to extend and customise
the script without editing the underlying core (main) php files.

Thank you mate, for your suggestions.



Thanx,
Shadab.

Sounds good, could you post us some previews to it so i can see what it is like?

umm.... nope.

Its not even completely coded, so can't show you a preview. Right now the coding of the PHP "functions" that will be used commonly in the script or that will get executed on each page load is being done.

Btw, i updated my first post with a more specific and highly detailed list of features.
...

Thanx,
Shadab.

Good features bro.
These days many software available that make auto clicks.
Its not good for any PTC site. People just start softwares and that software make autoclick and the person earn money.
Can you make this script of this type that no one can make autoclicker

okay. Thanks for the tip.

Maybe I'll find auto-clickers for existing PTC sites,
so I can know how they function. As that would help in securing my new script.

i think autoclickers just use a browse thingy, and then always do click.php?id=X untill 10000 id's or something..

Shadab but we aware, if we wish to make it a good PTC. We need to time it with the CPU Watch, not the Browser one. I can hack into the browser one. , you see its kinda prone to people.
