        A few here and there doesn’t hurt anything. It’s when it becomes a regular thing that makes it a big problem. There are times when posting a simple code change is better than uploading a patched file...especially when it’s a temporary solution and one that will make it in the main files anyways. What you should say is this:

        Refrain from posting code changes unless absolutely necessary! wink

          Actually, my point was that if you are posting a long code, then its good to put in .txt file and attach, it saves users to scroll and scroll smiley its just sake of better view and smoothness.. but if you think its ok to post.. no problems at all smiley

          Thanks

              Well...long lines of code, no, I don’t think that’s too good of an idea. For that, yeah, post a text file. I agree with you on that! smiley

                  And if you do have to post a short amount of code grin Please wrap it in php tags. That way the forum will use syntax highlighting and it will be much easier to read.

                  For example:
                  $hello = 'Hello world';
echo($hello);


                  is a lot harder to read than.

                  <?php
$hello = 'Hello world';
echo($hello);
?>


                  Oops, I guess I just posted code in the don’t post code thread. Oh well grin

                    I’m going to continue to use code posts for relatively short stuff like Google Analytics plugin. Would never do it for something like DropMenu or NewsListing though.
