Features: Forward thinking / Re: MySQL only!
« on August 16th, 2011, 08:07 AM »
Percona is nice (its close enough to a drop in replacement for MySQL for most things) but I've never tried to use it in a production environment. In theory, its a performance optimised version of MySQL. However, I've never been close enough to maxing the capabilities of MySQL to decide to replace it. (e.g. My solution to bottlenecks has always been to modify the web application or acquiring more server resources for the application)
P.S.
I wish we could report posts (see the post above with airport parking services SEO linking. Probably a bot :P)

Damn.

Well, if nothing else, if people google 'René-Gilles "Nao" Deberdt' wedge comes up the first page of the results which migh help the popularity of wedge a wee bit. xD

I think that happens to all of us from time to time tho. I know I've missed stupid things that were blindingly obvious after I came back the next day. And I was like 'Oh shit, I've got to re-do that section because I missed X'. :/
Its probably the only reason pair programming can ever make sense, if you are on a tight time constraint. Those sort of mistakes tend to get caught by the other person.

I'm curious about something....
Why didn't you go with something like:
Code: [Select]
For that first part?
Why didn't you go with something like:
$URI = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$URI = str_replace("index.php/", "", substr($URI,1,-1));
$Context['Request'] = explode("/",$URI);
For that first part?

Well, Arantor, for what it is worth...I agree with that choice, even if I think motivating developers out of bad behavior can't be done with file edits vs. hooks. ;)

I figured I'd toss my two cents in, as someone who more or less, has always intended to go around SMF (except for bridging authentication) as much as possible. That, and I'm not a web developer, so it is easier for me to work that way and fix my own mistakes without affecting an adequate solution. I also have a tendency to react without thinking things through simply because of some of the things I've seen in my limited experience .
File edits are a pain in the ass to maintain between versions and so are hooks. I don't think either is going to change developer behavior sufficiently to be worth picking one or the other solely for that reason.
If you provide Hooks, you need to also provide File Edits to avoid Unknown's concern of people causing trouble that way.
If the real, and only concern, is the size and quality of mods...you are probably better off coming up with positive incentives to create certain types, and a certain quality, of mods rather than relying on the method of modifying Wedge to do it for you. I've got no good idea how to go about that simply because I've never tried to foster a developer community around a project outside of a situation where everyone is being paid to care about said project.

Its up to you :P
Just I know the only 5.2 VPS I have left will be gone by the time Wedge would be worth installing on that site. ;)

Ya...I'd say you are better off splitting up the forums (e.g. Adjusting the theme only to display Set X on Site X, Set Y on Site Y, and so on) if the goal is MU.
