If you submit a fading/whizzing/popping drop-down menu that uses jQuery then it’s normally not going to get approved.

As i dont know jquery id like to see some extended fading/whizzing/popping dropdown menus, that could be easily customiazed and styled with css.

I have some ideas for you Vasili. I’m not a coder that’s why I can’t do it. But I’m a designer. I can design and HTML/CSS you to death, but I can’t make PHP work for me.

So if you have time…I can surely tell you a few ideas that can be really cool ideas for scripts.

I love the new script category. Can’t wait to see what people start to do.

I really wish it were possible to filter this stuff out. These “templates” have been polluting the RSS feed. Can you guys offer an RSS feed that excludes PHP scripts?

“we’re looking for unique items that don’t already exist on the bathroom-wall-of-code.”

Looks like someone is reader of Coding Horror

I’ve just submitted one of my PHP scripts so I’ll show how it goes and I might have some more up if it does quite well.

Vasil

I like the cms idea, not because i will use it , but learn from it aswell.

you should try get it added to the tuts+

regarding PHP and javascript, i am glad theme forest have high standards , tho i dont mind paying for scripts i can pick up for free

as i feel 90% of items on this site come fully commented and with support

something that you simply dont get anywhere else

Thanks James .. that was helpful .

Hey James. I was very glad to hear that ThemeForest had added a new JavaScript/PHP section so I signed up to start uploading. I’m a Senior Web Developer that enjoys developing components and I have to say I’m disappointed with the level of service so far. I got together all the materials required for an application (as per the guidelines) and spent half an hour trying to upload an app through your system but an error keeps popping up saying that I haven’t uploaded a ZIP file. I’ve tried uploading a ZIP using many different compression apps but its the same issue across any browser at the moment. Could you guys take a look at it?

Almost all of the current scripts on themeforest can be found elsewhere online either in tutorials or as free pre-made scripts. I mean, look at them, Download counter, Guestbooks… 1000s are already online and free. There needs to be something that is new and usable that it not found anywhere else, or ThemeForest will not be a unique library.

I didn’t have anything to do with this post, did I?

But seriously, I do agree with Vasili, in that I think the hardest part is creating something that can’t be found elsewhere online. Perhaps not as much of an issue with PHP, but Javascript as a language is only so powerful, and there are only so many things that can be done with it. It seems highly unlikely that there are too many javascript plugin-like chunks of code that haven’t already been created in one form or another somewhere on the world wide web.

I think it’s extremely hard to find something that people would like to use, make it pretty, customizable, AND make it unique in the way that it’s nowhere else online. Even though I can code, I’m always at a road block because I don’t want to make something that you can easily get somewhere.

I’ve had people ask me to make a “simple CMS”, but I don’t see the point because there are (probably) thousands of CMSes out there!
