Re: What's the best use of peoples' time in User Group meetings?

Alternating months Even month: start: 30 minutes of general "introduction" and q&a body: 2 one hour presentations (on relatively major topics rangi...

Re: What actually is open source & making money from it

Well, if you buy RedHat, you get their support.  If you get a "non official" copy (while perfectly legal, see CentOS), you don't get any support.  That's why people buy RedHat... The support.  And because they are arguably the best, they can charge a LOT for the code, and people pay i...

Re: Problems with MySQL INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE

Actually, the way it works is that when you exectue a Select statement, one of the methods to load the data (like $database->loadObjectList()) actually executes $database->query()...  So if you're not loading the results, you need to exectue it manually...

Re: Problems with MySQL INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE

How are you executing the query? 

Code: Select all

$sql = "DELETE blah FROM blah";
$database->setQuery($sql);
if(!$database->query()) echo $database->getErrorMsg();

Re: two bad votes in 2 hour ....

The other option, would be to wieght the votes (ok, it's getting complicated, but)... A vote by itself counts as 1 vote, but a vote tied to a review counts as 2...  That way you can get a feel for how many people don't like an extension, but are willing to say something about it...

I think they are doing it backwards...  The way they are doing it, rounding errors will be exasorbated...  Try something like this. you have 2 fields in DB , rating and count. when you get a new vote (call it vote) new_rating = (rating + (vote - rating)/count) Rounding errors will be reduc...

When are Editor's Picks updated?

I noticed that the "Editor's Picks" really havn't changed at all in the past year or so.  Just curious if this is a dead issue, or if the editors are still actively maintaining the list (but there just havn't been new "pick worthy" extensions)?
