i went to download the smart-thinker modules, but i only see available for download and try the homepage module. I can't download/try the userinfo one or at least i can't find the link.
On the other hand, i checked the demo on the site and i can't see the 'hot or not' option anywhere.
I mean, i want people to be able to add their own picture, put some description to it and let other people rate that picture and write comments (like a hot or not module).
I don't see this in smart-thinker. Also I was looking for free mods since xoops, phpnuke, postnuke and so on had these.
Nevertheless, for $30 that your mods cost, if it had this I would buy them but I don't see it.
Also, the userprofile doesn't seem to allow for an avatar but a personnal picture. Do you handle avatars and allow to display them easily anywhere? For instance right now i have xoops in www.unionlatina.org and people love the avatars in the 'users online' block. If you had 2 pictures: 1 avatar, 1 personnal pic. It would be great. The avatar is usually small, easy to display in user onlines block or forums. The picture is usually more of a personnal profile thing and too big for an avatar.
We are rolling out the trial versions with each new Module version (HomePage already out - UserProfile coming in next week).
Your requirements are qute specific. Most people buy the closest matching module they can find and modify the source, OR they write it themselves (or contract it out).
The rating functionality could be a separate module and "linked" to a UserProfile - I don't think this would be in the UP module. there is a rating module (and it is free - check the DotNetNuke Directory) as you can see on this
page - but it would also need some tinkering.
A future version will link to a Gallery module (again - I don't like re-inventing the wheel) so a user can link to their personal gallery page or photos. Anyway - I thought it would be closer to what you are looking for, but to find something like that which matches your requirements exactly is tricky, and to find something that matches your requirements AND is free is almost impossible.
I beleive this is due to the smaller size of DotNetNuke but it is getting there slowly but surely. One more thing - you can do a module search on the DotNetNuke Directory to find Modules that are Free (I still don't think such a module exists though unfortunately).
