I like the idea -- I'm just not sure what the name should be... the name of the node with .pl appended, the nodeid with .pl appended, a cleanup of the node name... `# $NODE is a common feature throughout the codebase, please, don't com +plaign about that element of my style. my $filename = $NODE->{title}; $filename =~ s/[^A-Za-z0-9.-]/_/g; $filename =~ s/__+/_/g; $filename .= '.pl';` [download] , perhaps?

I vote for `$nodeid.pl`. The node title is likely ambiguous, requires arbitrary scrubbing rules, and does not offer a reference back to the source node. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

nodeid.pl ROCKS ... and incidentally, makes easy to find ones way back to the source.	[reply]

Why not append a comment on the last line giving the node id the code was pulled from? For jerks like me who wind up copying files about and renaming a lot. Just an idea... Update: After chat in CB, found out it'll fubar either the she-bang line and/or some obfu. grrr ---- Then B.I. said, "Hov' remind yourself nobody built like you, you designed yourself"	[reply]
Re: Displaycode suggestion by theorbtwo (Prior) on Nov 26, 2004 at 11:44 UTC
Done. We now send a `Content-Disposition: inline; filename="NNNN.pl"` header. (Note that IE will try to save to NNNN_pl.txt if you do not have an association set up, or ignore the inline bit and try to save immediately if you do not. I think we have to agree to live with that.) Thanks for the suggestion, Original Anonymonk. Warning: Unless otherwise stated, code is untested. Do not use without understanding.

Adding a timestamp to the filename title would seem to be a good idea. Ideally the last update time of the node. --- demerphq	[reply]

Wow that was fast :). Cool! :) By the way, do you maintain a dev/acc/production separate environments or do the changes to code go in right away?	[reply]

There is a sepperate test server, but minor changes are applied directly to the main server sometimes. (Possibly more often then they should be.) Warning: Unless otherwise stated, code is untested.

Might save you a few keystrokes... BUT! if the author has used a name which you've already used, you still have the keystrokes to do... or fall into a dialogue for overwrite \| rename \| whatever which some tired\|careless users might miss \| ignore to their detriment?	[reply]
