No probs about the other thread. I removed my post, but will put the important point here: if this forum and us users do something of value and interest here, I can guarantee the developers will take an interest. They have access to read and post here.


By "purpose" I mean give me a situation that you are trying to create and an example of the code you have so far: script object loaded as attachment or such.



Norm, while don't make this area open for other tS users too?


I think with open this area for all forums members, tS's scripting can grow more faster and more better.


make it open to all members and let them to select topics their interest.

Just brainstorming here!
Can we come up with a format here?
1.) One idea I had would be to communicate by way of comments inside the script. Explaining as you go through the code. Idea here is it would make it easier not having to retype again in the post for the most part. You can copy and paste right from the Script Editor into a post/thread.

The idea of the Scriptorium is to keep a focus area for those interested in scripting. Other users can join in here if we see they are showing an interest in scripting. Otherwise we end up with very large amount of off topic postings, which is the reason I moved your post here Johny. It was off-topic in other thread.

Comments in code are handy to a degree. Any programming books I have here do not comment in code heavy. The text describes what the code does. For forums and code samples I provide, I figure the code will be discussed at length so a full understanding takes place. I figure too much commenting is counter productive.


Ask questions about the code if you are not following, add comments to the code yourself even. I will be honest and mention that I believe you should be pressed to do some figuring on your own.


If you are referring to the data objects code, copy and paste from the forum into code to suit your needs. Is a relatively small code example I honestly did not figure folks would have difficulty following. If I am mistaken, let me know.
