I was just thinking, there are a ton of ideas on these forums to make the site better, more convenient, more user friendly but I dont see them being implemented very often.
I know that it's obvious that the admins are busy and have lives of their own, but there are tens of thousands of people on this website. Alot of them are very trusted and well known here. I'm sure some of them are very good at web developing and would love to volunteer some time to help with some upgrades. Most upgrades, from what I see, wouldn't use much webspace and could be implemented by just adding some code.
Any thoughts? |

That could cause quite a few problems. Some sort of workflow/approval system would have to be implemented. Also, systems would have to be tested before going live.
PHP is a fairly simple language, but if someone were to break a site as complex as DPC, finding the newly introduced bug could take days.

| yeah, an approval system would definietly be needed. Now, i dont know a whole lot about coding, but I know if you go to any web page and goto "View">"Source" it gives all the coding for that page. Seems like it would only take inserting the new code in that and be done, but i could be totally confused :) |

Not quite true. When you click view source on any of DPC's pages what you are seeing is not the code that runs the site, but rather the HTML that is generated by the PHP as it is interpretted by the servers.
None of the actual code is visible to the public. Also, you have to deal with a MySQL backend. It could get tricky quickly. I'm pretty good with PHP/MySQL and I wouldn't want o just dive into the code of this site.

My changes to the voting pages would be like this
if ($vote <10 AND $username="fotomann_forever")
{
$vote = 10;
)
:-)
Edit for proper systax :-)

How about we implement this instead?
if $entry_owner ="yanko"
{
if $vote <10 and $voter="fotomann_forever"
{
vote = 10;
)
}
:P

yanko, your coding looks good, but would result in a logic error :-P

I don't see an important else clause
}
else{
vote = 4; // Can't use one or the system will get us.
}

if $user_loc="Iceland"
{
$vote = 10;
LeaveComment("Stunning landscape! Nice composition and PP!")
$BlueRibbon = true;
}
Now THIS would sure simplify things.
