Enthusiast 3.x
Enthusiast 3 (Enth3) is a full-featured, linkware multiple listing management system. It allows an administrator the ability to manage multiple member listings via a single administration interface as well as manage a central website directory of these listings. From listing creation to the templates used for the public pages of the listing site, Enthusiast 3 allows list owners to focus on what’s important: adding more value-added content as opposed to getting hung up on managing member lists.
I initially started working on Enthusiast early on when I started getting involved in fanlistings. I was not satisfied with the features of the fanlisting scripts available at the time, so I set out on making my own, with my new-found knowledge: PHP. After a good while of using it for my own fanlistings — at the time, it could only manage one fanlisting — I thought I’d put it up for download “just in case”.
Other people soon found the script, and usage gradually mounted. Using Enthusiast 2, it was easy to get fanlistings to validate, and an affiliates was already built into the script. Friends raved about the script, and others respected it (among others). However, it was not until the release of the third version — which allowed for multiple-fanlisting management within one administration panel — that fanlisting owners flocked to the script.
Enthusiast is the most-downloaded script from my scripts archive, and is one of the most-used fanlisting scripts available today.
