This Thread is for Version 2.0.X of Editor Monitor

Example of what is new to this version:

Editor Statistics Tag

<%Plugins::EditorMonitor::EditorStats($Username)%> Use this tag to produce statistic about a particular editor. Can be used in the the editor's browser (browser_info.html), for your own purposes, or anywhere on your web site. The graph is capped at 250, meaning any bar graph which exceeds 250 pixels in length will be automatically resized together with its partner graph to half its size. This maintains correct proportion between the two lines for comparative purposes.

Example Output:

        
NEW TO 2.0 !

---

*Added next phase of Editor Signup. Including validation/rejection system with email templates for both validation and rejection.

*Added a new custom tag. Current monthly editor activity. This tag returns the editing activity (number) for the month so far. Useful for displaying to the editor in their browser.

*Added a new custom tag: EditorStats. Graphs and compares the editor's monthly activity (broken down into all areas of editing) with the monthly averages of all editors. Great for motivating your editors and keeping a closer eye on who is perfoming, and who isn't.

*Added ability to click on an editor in the 'Who's Online' and bring up their statistics.

*Updated documentation

More on release information soon.

Honestly, Ian, do you ever sleep???

This program just keeps getting better and better and I, for one, am very grateful for you making it. Between this, the User Monitor, and the Tool Box, you've made Links SQL even more of a joy to use. Thank you for all your hard work.

Thanks Rayhne. (Sleep: not really)

Version 2.0.0 Released

HI Ian,



How do I change the date format to the standard Month, Day, Year format?



Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Where abouts is the date you wish to change?


http://www.iuni.com/...tware/web/index.html
Links Plugins

The Editor start date!

In their profile.

Hmmm, good point!

It should follow your admin->date_settings.... looks like I may have forget to set this, I'll check it.

EDIT: What date format do you have set for: date_db_format?

Thanks


http://www.iuni.com/...tware/web/index.html

It is set to the date_db_format (%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%)
The date_user_format is %ddd% %mmm% %dd% %yyyy%

Edit: hmmm, yeah I would maybe leave those the way they are.

I could change it so there is a seperate day/month/year tag for you to put in any format you like?

Should it follow the date_user_format rather than the date_db_format since this is a user function?

Yes, I would NOT change the date_db_format.... that may cause problems everywhere, not just in my plug-ins either.

I'll take a look at the code and see what works out best.....

Coooooooooooooool!

Ok, this looks pretty easy and allows user to keep the EM_Since tag if they don't want to be bothered:

<%EM_Since_Year%> Example: 2002
<%EM_Since_Month%> 07
<%EM_SInce_Day%> 31

I will need to add these new tags to both EditorMonitor.pm (for statid profile creation) and emprofile.cgi (for dynamic profile creation).

Links Plugins

So this will take the XXXX-XX-XX format data and create 3 tags to replace it?

Yep, so if you wanted:

dd-mm-yyyy

You would put <%EM_Since_Day%>-<%EM_Since_Month%>-<%EM_Since_Year%> in your profile template. And of course swap the order or fomating to whatever you like, for example you could then have:

04:03:2002 or 14/12/2002

or 04 (day) 03 (month) 2002 (year) if you thought your readers needed the tip. (just kidding now)

I have just put this into EM master code, but it is untested. I will test it then add it to 2.0.1.

It works... your wish is my command. I can upload 2.0.1 now unless you have any other last minute requests?

Version 2.0.1 Released

Note: Editor Monitor (and my other plug-ins) are now available for downloadload through the Links SQL download area. Current versions will no longer be placed in my private download area. Only change is Brian's date suggestion above :)

Possible New Feature:

---

Following on from a suggestion for User Monitor, I am thinking of implementing a new set of reward automation features into Editor Monitor as follows: (the use of this feature would be optional)

Automatic deposit of rewards into Editors reward accounts as actions are performed:

Category_Add_Reward
Category_Modify_Reward
Category_Delete_Reward
Link_Add_Reward
Link_Modify_Reward
Link_Delete_Reward
Link_Validate_Reward
Editor_Reward_Multiplier <<<- allows you to increase rewards added for each particular editor on an individual bases... example one editor could have a multiplier of 2, which means they would get twice as many rewards as another with 1.

The problem with this system is that once the editor realise how rewards can be earned the couuld add and delete links or categories in a meaningless way, just to increase their rewards.

Hi IAN

Can we change the application review format to be similar to the links one.. Meaning that the Admin can change fields in case of misspilling or so.. and the reject e-mail is in the bottom so the Admin can add specific reason per applicant?

Hey Ian,

How about an Editor "Award" system that allows the admin to assign an award (maybe something as simple as a star) to their editor profile page.



Just a thought!
