Good day, my first post here so cope with me if I talk nonsense!
I am building a website with WP 2.9.1, on which I have a game section. Games are Flash games, and the person programming it said they can intercept the user’s session (you must be logged in to play) in order to be able to publish the player’s high score.
Our first plan was to put a database for the high scores, and then publish it on a page.
But an idea popped in my mind: instead of using another db, and write a script for it, it could be possible to inject it as a comment on the article page that holds the Flash game, by taking the username from the session, and messing with the comment functions in order to allow Flash to post the Score as a comment with the logged in username. (ok I haven’t chacked if it’s possible, but I sippose it is)…
The question is: if we can do that, is there any way to sort the comments by the High score instead of by date?
Thank you for your input, this is merely an experimental hypothesis… But it would sure be cool if it can work!
WP, best script ever!
Regards,
