Last month there was a rather active discussion on the list regarding rating cookbook recipes on pmwiki.org, but it kind of died down without any resolution.
So, to re-start this topic I propose the following two changes to the pmwiki.org cookbook section. These draw on mainly three preceding messages for inspiration: <http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users/2009-January/053603.html>, <http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users/2009-January/053621.html> and <http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users/2009-January/053622.html>. 1. Add a new 'Users:' title as the last in the recipeinfo box on Cookbook.Template. This can then be added to other recipes organically, and should become a comma-delimited list of users of the recipe. A link to a profile page is probably most appropriate, but really anything goes. 2. Replace the 'Rating' column in Cookbook.RecipeList#recipelist with 'Users' and the corresponding '{=$Rating}' with '{(csvcount "{=$:Users}")}'. This will also require the following markup expression code to be added to the site: $MarkupExpr['csvcount'] = 'strlen($args[0]) ? 1+substr_count($args[0],',') : ""'; Together, these changes will allow the easiest and least intrusive way for people to indicate their usage of a cookbook recipe, as well as the presentation of that information. For more in-depth opinions on a recipe, the Comments section remains the best forum to indicate one's opinion. Opinions? eemeli _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
