Don’t know how this can be fixed though.. Maybe if the text would be in a textarea, it would not copy like that to the clipboard.. not sure though.. if not, maybe there has to be some button to do the copying to clipboard through javascript what would take those html comment tags away..?I’ve been thinking about this as well and there doesn’t appear to be any quick solutions to this problem ... even placing the snippet calls and code in a textarea would still require the commenting to prevent the document parser picking up the calls.
Speaking of these, can we exempt these from the most popular downloads, or probably better should we just bump the download count for past resources? On that same note, can we easily add the past distributions after the fact and modify the download count to reflect the current status?I think we need to add a TV checkbox to allow for resources to be exempted from the ’most downloaded’ listing - this would allow for easier admin going forward. We can update any download counts retrospectively, so all core distributions can be easily updated with their existing download counts as required.
Yes.. I guess easiest way would be to make it generate unique id’s to the <pre> tags where snippet calls are, then with javascript strip the comments out and copy to users clipboard. I did some research on this and it seems that atleast mozilla browsers have a security setting that doesn’t allow copying to clipboard by default. But you can use flash to get around it.
The JS function would work but we need a way of uniquely identifying each snippet call/piece of code so that the function can pick out the correct information ... this is made slightly more difficult because of the possibility of nested tags within code etc. The only thing I can think of is that the bbcode parser is completely revised to be more like a tokeniser and that each main snippet call/code block is given a unique ID in order that it can be extracted by the JS function. (the button could also be dynamically inserted at the correct places with this method)

I made a small example to show what I mean, view here or download the attachment. It seems to do the copying to clipboard just fine in IE, FF and Opera. I don’t have other browsers to test. I found the sfw from net and it’s GPL.Looks very cool, Doze
Could somebody be kind enough to give it test on the Mac-based browsers so we know if this can be used or not.

One day, I will have enough money to buy my own Mac ... :sigh:

Please please please add the ability for moderators to edit entries - particularly to add tags to a snippet, and possibly remove some.Moderation has been in place since the repository went live. If Ryan is happy for you to be added (can’t see why not), then I will get you added to the list of moderators.
It would also be nice to have a mini reviews section - possibly like the Firefox extensions site. When I see that a snippet has a rating of 3.abit/5 it would be nice to know why.User commenting/reviews was something that was discussed between myself, Kyle, and Ryan in the early stages of the repository development and we decided that it would be best to keep commenting within the forums. There is the risk that this kind of commenting functionality could turn very quickly into a support thread as opposed to a set of reviews.
On the subject, it would be nice to have a number shown on hover-over, as it is not all that easy to distinguish 3.75 from 4.I have just added a title to the star rating which will pop up when the star rating is hovered over (only when the star rating is read-only mode though). I will look at perhaps including the rating value underneath the star rating, to the left of the ’number of votes’ text.

How’s the playground for me coming?Been tied up last few days but I just need to give it a final once-over then it’s all yours. I will have a look now ...
