iReviews?

[marcuslee]

Just got on a few minutes ago and saw the new button at the top: iReviews. What's this cool new feature?


I also saw the button which links to pages on the main thinBasic site. I like that because I use the online help quite often. Now, I can get there faster. :dance1:

Ok, OK, :D

I'm testing a new way of handling script files.
Mainly I'm testing a review system able to add any kind of fields to standard posts also opening the possibility to review posts based on rating criteria we can setup.

What this system is supposed to do?
Every user can add source code scripts with info like script category, script version or any other script info we can think can be useful to identify it.
All other people can review the scripts adding comments and review ratings like: is the script well written (1 ... 10), is the script well commented (1 ... 10), is the script well organized (1 ... 10), ... or any other review rating we can think about.

At the moment I've created a test forum connected with the review system and I'm posting examples (that later will be deleted) used to test possible options and features.

Be aware that any post and/or rating you will do in iReview will be deleted before going live.

Have fun

To everybody.

I'm setting information on Scripts review
So far there are 2 kind of information:

the one that are used as script characteristics
editable only by the user that posts the script
the one that are used as script reviewers
editable by user posting the script plus each reviewer has its own copy of them
the one that are used as script rating
each user has its own copy of them


So far I've setup the following:

script characteristics

category
version

script reviewers

Pro
Cons

script rating

Source code well written (A general rate about source code)
Source code well organized (Source code is well organized into functions)
Source code well indented (Code is well indented in the parts that need it)
Source code well commented (Great comments in critical and non critical areas. Functions have comments describing their usage)



Any suggestion?

It seems like pretty complete list.

Only thing occurring to me is minimal thinBasic version to execute.

Good one.

Free textbox or list to select from?
In case of list I need to setup all past versions but we can start from 1.8.x and ignore previous one.

[ErosOlmi]

Added minimum thinbasic version also as search criteria

[Petr Schreiber]

That is very good,

maybe in the "Browse by thinBasic version" there could be option for "Any" as I do not know how to revert filter to view all (I figured out clicking on Main in the box above did what I needed, but still).


Thanks,
Petr

I cannot control that because "Browse by" is controlled by the engine.
So change filter just click on any other possible filter.

I will also reconsider the Category. Actually it is a multi selectable option and for that kind of fields "Browse by" is not active. If I change to a single selectable field a "Browse by" will automagically appear.

I like the new title: Scripts Repository.

One little suggestion. I think it would look better if Repository was capitalized.

Changed "r" to "R"
