Midmart Matchmaker Version 2 - FAQ
The Midmart Matchmaker script was written in Perl language.
Midmart Matchmaker requires a Unix or Windows server, with perl 5 or higher.
It's quiet easy. Every thing has been explained in the README.TXT file. If you have a very basic knowledge about CGI you'll be able to do it yourself without any problem.
Anyway, we may install the script for you for an additional $80.
The default of the matchmaker system is "free". It means that all users may join and send emails to other members for free.
When you choose the "fee-based" option while setup, your users will be able to create a profile, but will not be able to send emails to other users, until you "register" them. The administrator have options to register and unregister users in admin area.
Currently the fee-based system accept credit card information
for off-line processing by the site owner. If you provide
us with the necessary information, we can modify it for
you to work with your desired credit card processing company
free of charge. (You may ask your the support department
of your credit card processing company for the integration
information)
You should check with your payment processing company if
their system is integrable to an external CGI script first.
We have connection between Midmart Matchmaker and "Authorize.net"
and "WorldPay.com" ready to us.
Theoretically there is no limitation about the number of members, although actually it depends on your server resources. We have tested a demo site with over 20,000 members on a Windows 98 system with 32 megabytes of Ram without any problem. Again, it directly depends on your server resources. There are actual sites with over 16,000 members at the moment. You may check : http://www.iranmatch.org as one of the largest sites using Midmart Matchmaker.
We will send you the script by email as soon as we get the confirmation of your payment.
If you would like to change the looks of the pages, there are three variables ($BODY, $HEADER and $FOOTER) in the set up file. So you may change the colors, add graphics, text blocks or tables. But it will be the same for All pages. There is not templates
In the usual CGI Scripts it's OK if you add some options to the combo boxes, but because of the "fixed length" nature of Midmart Matchmaker Version 2, there are "default maximum characters" for each field and it's not that easy to change the .HTML files. If you really need to add some options to the fields, the whole scripts should be modified.
We may make some minor changes like changing the colors, titles, etc. and installation of the script on your server for an additional $80.
Major changes can be made by our staff on a hourly basis ($35/hour) also. If you need some modifications, please contact us before ordering.
There is no demo version, but you can download and try our tester file at: http://www.midmart.com/scripts/match2/mm_tester.txt before ordering. It will help you to find if your server has Perl 5 or higher and all necessary modules in order to run Midmart Matchmaker Version 2. Just download it, rename it to mm_tester.cgi, upload it to your cgi-bin directory, chmod it to 755 and run it from your browser. If you got OK for all tests, you will be able to run this script on your server without any problem.
It's quiet easy to do it yourself: Just look for the blocks of text in .CGI files and replace them to your desired text in any language,
but please note that you can not translate the option lists and fields. We are not able to translate the script to any other languages by our staff.
Sure. We will try our best to offer a fast support to our customers.
