Re: PostTrack Updates

Daniel Brown írta:

    Some changes take effect with the PostTrack metrics system with

this week (will show up in next week's report). There's one bug fix and a new feature added, in which some of you may be really interested.

    CHANGELOG
        Fixed a bug that would (seemingly random) split a user's post

recording over multiple entries. (See this week's report: Zoltan Nemeth for example)

oh I see. ignore my previous error report ;)

        Added a new CodeCount feature.  Explained below.

    The CodeCount feature will, from now on, track the amount of

[pseudo]code everyone posts to the list. However, for a variety of reasons (including enforcing Good Coding Practices[tm], there will be some rules:

        * short_open_tags code will not be counted.  It must begin

with <?php, not <?, and <?=$variable;?> things won't count.

        * All code must be properly closed as well as opened.  Thus,

<?php must be followed by ?>.

        * You can include multiple blocks of code, and all will be tallied.  So:
            <?php
                // Block one
            ?>
            .... and ....
            <?php
                // Block two
            ?>
            .... will both be counted.

    Some notes that should be obvious:
        * HTML won't be counted unless included in an echo/print

construct or a HEREDOC/NOWDOC (when used). Only the code between the <?php and ?> tags will be counted.

        * The CodeCount procedure *does* count comments as code.  This

can be changed if there's enough desire.

        * CodeCount *will not* differentiate between "Good" and "Bad"

code. If you forget a semicolon, it'll still count.

that's a cool feature! greets, Zoltán Németh
