Ok, I think I have enough to leave constructive feedback. Thanks ADmad for being my soundboard. =) |

I used the ajax helper alot before 1.3 came out and blew it's socks off. The article was written for 1.2 so the usage of the ajax helper seems A-OK to me. |

Well there are a few issues. One, he's modifing the core to include an extra paramter in observeField. It would be better if he just extended the AjaxHelper and applied his own logic IMHO. |

i have never even used a js/ajax helper myself :) |

for the article code content itself also i don't have an opinion. in general i don't care about JS related posts. they dont have much to do with cakephp |

Ok, will do |

Alright, well assuming we overlook the spelling/grammar issues and condesending tone, the article content seems OK. Thoughts? |

leave him some feedback and see if you can get him to improve on it |

Ah, I see your point. |

Indeed, personally, if the poster doesn't have the respect for the article to read through it once/twice before submitting it shouldn't be published (ie feedback given). |

english might not be the first langauge of that person and since bakery isnt internationalized yet we leave him no choice but to submit in english |

hmm thats kind of a grey area i would say :) |

(other than code presentation) |
| # |
Apr 26th 2010, 17:05 |
nurvzy |
Or do we just focus on content, regardless of presentation? |
| # |
Apr 26th 2010, 17:05 |
nurvzy |
There are many gramatical and spelling errors througout the entire article. Is that a relavant feedback to give and hold publication? |

Hi, anyone around? I have a moderation question regarding the pending article http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/better-use-of-the-observefield-method . |

Yuck, I hate seeing apps like that. One of my clients handed me an app and said "fix it" the previous coder had no idea what he was doing. mysql functions all over the place, mainly in the views. Why even use a framework if you're going to do that?! |
| # |
Apr 26th 2010, 11:55 |
ADmad |
yup |

Ok, thanks. I'm currently looking at http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/image-resize-and-crop-on-the-fly and am formatting the Author PM to include suggestions for HTML helper as the crop function does not return a valid img tag. Would you agree? |
| # |
Apr 26th 2010, 11:54 |
ADmad |
and just take care that the code is of decent quality. for instance a while back a wordpress helper was published which was absolute crap. fetching data from tables using mysql_* functions. shouldn't even bother giving a response on such stuff imo. |

Apr 26th 2010, 11:53 |

nah no such priority, i would just give priority to the ones which need least changes to get published :) |

Will do. As a newbie mod, Is there anything I should know that isn't documented? I've read through the guidelines as well as coding standards in trac. For instance, is there a priority order for the queue? oldets->newest? |

a msg would be nice |

Indeed. Should I PM the author about the issues before removal or should I remove? |
| # |
Apr 26th 2010, 11:43 |
ADmad |
that one looks like crap anyway. If people expect their articles to be published they should alteast properly format them |
| # |
Apr 26th 2010, 11:42 |
nurvzy |
For instance, I'm looking at http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/wikkacake-using-cakephp-as-an-embedded-framework. I personally agree with ADmad about removal, but I certainly don't want to step on anyone's toes. |

i think those are lying long enough to be not missed by anybody, so just dump them imo :) |

Wow, some pending queue submittions are written for 1.1. What is the policy about articles written for CakePHP 1.1 (and now possibly 1.2, since release of 1.3)? Do we not care about what version the article was written for? |
