Hi all,
I'm doing some research online on creating php-based multi-level
marketing (MLM) system. It seems like a complicated system to build as
I need to create one from scratch. I'd like to know if there are
open-source CMS tools or MLM tools available that helps me to customize
or even upgrade to the kind of system I'd like to have.
I'd like to know how should I start building one from scratch- just the
logics or algorithms that I should be familiar with.
I'd also like to know what do we mean by re-cycling matrix and forced
matrix. I've seen these mentioned in some websites of software
developers who build MLM systems.
I have created PHP-based dynamic websites but I haven't done any work
with building this sort of systems. So I'd just like to hear from
people who are familiar with system developement and hopefully push me
in the right direction.
If you know of some relevant websites or tutorials, please post them
too.
Cheers!
Ben

What do you expect the web site to do? A successful MLM scheme is all
about concocting a story good enough to con gullible people into joining
your scam, and not so much about websites.

A project without a spec?
Say it ain't so!
I suspect the problem the OP is having is that every member of the MLM
scheme (except one obviously) is a child of another record and may be
the parent of one or more records. If you remove someone from the
chain, it is important that their 'down line' is then assigned to their
parent record to ensure that commissions are paid upwards.
The way to manage this is to give every record an upper and lower bound
record ID.
record ID = 999 (Primary Unique)
bound ID = 999
Name = Fred Bloggs
Address =123 Acacia Avenue
Upper bound ID = 999
Lower bound ID = 1004
Freds Controller is Lindsey Jones
record ID = 667 (Primary Unique)
bound ID = 667
Name = Fred Bloggs
Address =123 Acacia Avenue
Upper bound ID = 667
Lower bound ID = 2006
Everyone between bound ID 1000 and 1004 is part of Freds downline,
everyone between 668 and 2006 is part of lindseys downline so you can
immediately tell that Fred is part of Lindseys downline because his
upper and lower bounds lie within hers
If a new person (Joe Smith) joins Fred's operation and reports directly
to Fred then his record ID is autonumbered.
Everyone with a bound ID higher than 1004 gets 1 added to their boundID
value (to make space for Joe Smith
Everyone with an Lower Bound ID 1004 gets 1 added to their lower
bound ID
Everyone with an upper Bound ID 1004 gets 1 added to their upper
bound ID (this keeps things in line and moves all the operations down
one record.
Joes upper and lower bounds will be set to the same as his boundID as
he has no downline. Becuause his upper and lower bounds are inside
Freds, he is part of freds downline and also part of lindseys
If Fred now quits, we delete his record from the table and everyone
with a lower bound bigger than 999 is moved up a place (delete one) and
everyone with a bound ID greater than 999 is moved up a place (delete
one). All of Freds downline has now been promoted up a level in the
MLM structure but is still classed as part of Lindseys downline.
Look for nested menus in google and you should find some good functions
for managing the database and navigating the structure.

Not really. It's pretty basic e-commerce; the only twist is the
commissions.
I'd like to know if there are open-source CMS tools or
MLM tools available that helps me to customize
or even upgrade to the kind of system I'd like to have.
HIghly unlikely. For example, check the MLM tools directory
at hotscripts.com: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Script...vel_Marketing/
As far as I can tell, all products listed are commercial.
I'd also like to know what do we mean by re-cycling matrix
and forced matrix.
Some basic definitions are available here: http://www.themlmsoftware.com/softwa..._tracking.html

Hi,
My name is Roby Eisenbraun Martins, I am a C++, VB and NET developer.
I am working with a NET 2002 project right now and I am receiving this
uncommon "OutOfMemory" error message when I try to load a form object ( new
frmMain() ).
In debug mode, the "Load" form method is executed but it crashes when it
tries to set a DataTable from a DataSet in a local variable. Actually the
object value in debug mode is equal to nothing.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
