Along with any other general forum guidelines we have in place within our community, these should be taken into account (not really rules, but more of a "how to post properly to get the best responses"):
Choose the appropriate thread prefix for the language you are discussing.
If it does not exist or you are going to be discussing multiple languages, you should choose the "Other" prefix. If one does not exist, and there is demand for it let us know and we'll add it.
For specific platforms:
If the discussion you are going to be starting involves a specific platform, please add it to the title and as a tag in a logical part of your thread title.
Guides, Tutorials, etc.:
When writing a tutorial or guide of some sort, we ask that you prefix your thread with "Tutorial: " or "Guide: " so that we may easily recognise such contributions in case we need to organise them later or so that it makes it easier for people to find such contributions.
Posting Code:
When posting code, we ask that you please make use of our sweet looking syntax highlighter. If you do not know how to use it, you simply use the following tag:
[noparse][highlight=language]Code to highlight[/highlight][/noparse]
For example, use this:
[noparse][highlight=php]Code to highlight[/highlight][/noparse]
And you'll get something like this:
[highlight=php] /**
* Returns the code in $this->source, highlighted and surrounded by the
* nessecary HTML.
*
* This should only be called ONCE, cos it's SLOW! If you want to highlight
* the same source multiple times, you're better off doing a whole lot of
* str_replaces to replace the <span>s
*
* @since 1.0.0
*/
function parse_code () {
// Start the timer
$start_time = microtime();
// Firstly, if there is an error, we won't highlight
if ($this->error) {
//Escape the source for output
$result = $this->hsc($this->source);
//This fix is related to SF#1923020, but has to be applied regardless of
//actually highlighting symbols.
$result = str_replace(array('<SEMI>', '<PIPE>'), array(';', '|'), $result);
// Timing is irrelevant
$this->set_time($start_time, $start_time);
$this->finalise($result);
return $result;
}
