Generating and Uploading Results

I have a model rigged to have a model comment input box appear, so a viewer can publish his rating and comment, but I'm not sure if/how I can set it to upload the comments to some sort of database. I thought it would be fun to have that set up, and it would be nice to get reviews of models. Is this possible? If so how can I do this using ruby?

I would have thought the easiest way to do it would be with web dialogues.

You could either set up your own warehouse type site and use the web dialogue to talk to that or you could use the web dialogue to open the 3d warehouse. It's probably also possible to get it to go straight to your model on the warehouse.

Now how would I do this with script? I very unfamiliar with ruby...

First thing would be to talk to someone who knows about web dialogues

As far as i know theyre basically an IE window inside SU, so in theory you can just feed it a URL and it opens it.

Heres the api page: http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/webdialog.html
