Thanks Frank. I’ve been updating the ‘About Rate-a-Loo’ page with detail of changes. There is some info here about the moderation options I’ve added. There is also a message displayed after rating that reads

“Thank you for rating a loo! Comments are moderated before being made public.”

And I’ll have a look at adding some exploitation prevention..

hmm not the best coded

its open to exploitation

click on a toliet then rate it then keep refreshing the page you still have the values being submitted on the post.

i suggest going to a seperate page once you hit submit.

comments don’t get submitted however rating does – is there screening for comments?

Check out http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/. Not sure if its possible to get the data in a more readable format though.

I reckon you should add another map on the detail page. One thats more zoomed in and only shows the specific toilet. Theres plenty of space on the right side for that.

Hi Andrew – thanks for the plug!

I’ll see if I can find a dataset for Victorian toilets.

Also – there is the facility for people to add new toilets to the database, so it could potentially serve any location – so long as people are active in adding toilets in their area.

Thanks for the note – there have been some intermittent problems where the map points won’t load. Maybe these were caused by the javascript error you pointed out (which I just fixed).

This doesnt work.

No pointers appear looks like you got some JS errors…

Hey! Love the site. I just gave it a plug on ABC radio (regional Victoria). They were interviewing me about Meat in a Park site and mentioned to em that there are other entries from serious to less serious such as Rate a Loo. YOu should try and add regional Victorian locations. Might get some visitors!
