Minor Rep System Tweak
Posted by lameboyadvance...I've just noticed something about giving reps. If you rep without a description, it still says "lameboyadvance agrees:".
Surely it couldn't be too hard to add some lines of code that goes along the lines of:[code]if ($description == null)
{ echo $name + " agrees" }
else
{ echo $name + " agrees:" + $description }[/code]
...But this is probably me just being picky. ;)

Wait... what's wrong with "lameboyadvance agrees:" ?
Posted by lameboyadvanceWith the colon in there, apparently I'm agreeing to nothing.
It would just look better if it only said "lameboyadvance agrees".
Posted by Vampiro V. Empiremakes sense. Likely won't happen though.
Posted by Velvet NightmareJesse is more than capable of doing it, but it would take months of asking, and a considerable amount of ":D" faces
Posted by LinkmanJesse couldn't do even the simplest of PHP commands. The cause is a lost one. You wouldn't want him copying and pasting your code either, as it's littered with mistakes.
Posted by Vampiro V. EmpireDidn't the rep system used to automatically put "Vampiro agrees!" before? What happened to that?

after repping you I realized he put a + in between two variables, which would make the result look like this:
Hyper + " agrees"
when all it needs to be is
$name agrees
SO SCREW ME.
Posted by lameboyadvanceMy code above was just meant to be an example. I doubt it would have worked, considering I have no clue what the rep system code even looks like.
That, and I haven't touched PHP in over a year. I've forgotten if the echo statment needs parentheses, and the fact that PHP uses periods to concatenate instead of a plus sign.
If you want something perfect, do it yourself. :rolleyes:
Posted by Linkman[Quote=Hyper (rep comment)]Hyper agrees: exactly what I was trying to say but an echo doesn't need parentheses
Not true. It only doesn't need parenthesis if it's a variable (or inside another function but I wont go there). If it's text, it does.
echo $name; // good
echo "$name"; // good
echo Linkman; // bad
echo "Linkman"; // good
and Javascript uses plus (+), PHP uses the the period (.).
echo $name." agrees!";

I'll second that!!! Perl is what ROCKS!!! :D

Both Perl and CGI are ancient and outdated, just like yourself.

there's a big difference between parenthesis and quotation marks :)

...how in the hell... OK then, you're right, it doesn't need to be in parenthesis, but it does need to be in quotation marks. :mad:
