Web Devs?

[AshOctoKat]

Any newbie/intermediate coders on here? I am still learning at my own speed, and just trying to find some friends, and any coding forums that someone has where all the coders go? 

Needing motivational/support friends. Maybe to discuss each others current projects, and share tips, and ideas with one another.

I'm a newbie coder. I've got a test forum, but it's not a place "where coders go". I don't have a link for them, but maybe something like the Adoxography 2.0 forum might be a place to check out. Not sure what their policy is on coding experience and whatnot, but maybe someone here has a link to that forum and might know more.

I'm certainly not someone who anyone could learn from. Best of luck in finding a home.

I disagree.

I've seen your posts throughout some of the help boards, and your knowledge has improved greatly. So I'm confident others could learn from you as well.

Am looking forward to seeing what you do when v6 hits. I hope to see more plugins from you.

Hmm Ill check it out, but i might create a forum just as a tester. Appreciate the reply!

Not ignored by me - I just don't think I'm good enough to "apply". As a note, your sig has "PM for defails" - I think that last word should be "details".

I have a keen eye for creativity...but I have misplaced it somewhere 

I have some decent experience in design, but honestly would like to have something to show before I jump into anything

That is the common issue for me too! But i have been constantly reminding myself to just relax and take it easy, just have fun with it. They always say practice makes perfect, but seems like nowadays (myself included) everyone wants to automatically be perfect from the get go. 

[Lynx]

I would, by no means, consider myself as perfect. I like realism, and I'm not perfect realistically. If I was, I would probably be able to put out plugins along the same sophistication as those like Matej, Brian, Chris, Peter, Todge and others (I'd name them, but too lazy to look up usernames to tag at the moment).

Just considering the fact that NONE of my plugins use keys (Scavenger Hunt doesn't count because it was originally written by David Clark), that should say something. I could go on, but I have a feeling that, if I did so, I may end up either: alienating myself from other coders (which I do NOT want to do); or getting virtually slapped in the face ... hard.

Is that because you don't understand them?

To be honest, I'm not sure. As you may know, I've been trying to work on a leaderboard aspect for the Scavenger Hunt plugin. If you look at what I see in the page source, you can see both user 1 and user 3 both have amounts in sh_obj_amount - but only user 3 (msg) is listed in the leaderboard key:


["sh_obj_amount", 1, "33"],["sh_obj_amount", 3, "40"],["sh_leaderboard", [3,"msg",36]]);


However, I've also noticed that the total for "msg" is only 36 when the individual count is showing 40. I'm also seeing that David had set the amounts as strings whereas my total count is a number. So, I'm really not sure anymore of what I do understand and what I don't understand - as it seems I have made some progress, just not complete progress.

Here's the array layouts:

[sh_obj_amount,User ID,prize count]
[sh_leaderboard,User ID,Username,prize count]

As you can see, the only thing I've added into the leaderboard key is the user's username (which would also be used to tag them in the table that will eventually be the leaderboard).

Lynx Could be your data structure causing you issues.  If you want to discuss it further, hit me with a PM so I can understand it better.


AshOctoKat There are a few boards here you can post in.  I don't know of any active forums anymore  We do have a discord (unofficial) that has a programming channel

Thanks a bunch! I did join Adoxography, but as you mentioned, the site does seem a bit dead. I'd be glad to join the discord server, is there a certain link/url i should go to, or just google it? lol

I think you found it right (I see someone joined recently).  If not, I can PM you the link (or look in my signature if you are on v5 theme and have them on)
