Jarola Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I've been working really hard on creating a source list that will benefit us all. I debated about putting tons of links out there or starting with just a few quality links and letting more experienced vendors help build this list. Right now my list falls somewhere in-between. However, it is accepting ratings and new links. Just a note, to avoid abuse by spammers and hackers, submitted links will not go out live. They'll come to me and I'll add them. I invite you to take a look at what I've got so far, rate some of the links, and add any that you believe I've missed. http://www.nextstepvending.com/sources.php Regards, Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarola Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 There's been a lot of buzz around this page, plenty of positive feedback and suggestions for new links. Please keep it coming... http://www.nextstepvending.com/sources.php I'm looking to expand the list with more categories. Does anybody have more ideas?

candyman007 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Very cool. Do you mind if I ask what program you are using to run that rating system? Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarola Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't mind at all. I thought about writing my own, but why reinvent the wheel? I'd rather focus my time and energy on something I can't readily find elsewhere. That being said, I tried several systems, none of which did what I wanted. This one did exactly that AND was the easiest to understand and configure of all that I looke at. I heartily recommend it! http://www.masugadesign.com/the-lab/scripts/unobtrusive-ajax-star-rating-bar/ Regards, Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxer518 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I would add AA Global to the list as well as Wiczer ind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarola Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I would add AA Global to the list as well as Wiczer ind. Hi Mxer518: Thanks for the feedback! I already have A&A Global listed under Machine Suppliers. Is it miscategorized? I didn't have Wiczer but am adding it now. Thanks for adding another source. Keep 'em coming folks.

dperry Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 A&A is both a product supplier and a machine manufacturer. I believe you only have it in your machine manufacturer section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was one of the dilemmas I struggled with in building the list. If I place one company in several categories, how does that affect the ratings? I also initially had a category I called One-Stop Shops where I was placing links for companies such as A&A who meet more than one need. I ended up eliminating that category and placing each link in what seemed to be the company's primary business. I've since been rethinking this and may just bring back the One-Stop category. What do you think? Regards, Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
