I've been a proponent of finding some kind of rating system for recipes for some time. I don't particularly care what rating system, but I think it's an important piece missing in the current documentation of recipes to help admins when choosing solutions. Almost any of the ideas that have been proposed would work -- one just needs to be "appointed" and then implemented.<br>
<br>* Chris has recently given the suggestions found on Cookbook/PmCalendar-Fan:<br>** <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PmCalendar-Fan">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PmCalendar-Fan</a><br><br>Users put a link to [[Cookbook/RecipeName-Fan]] (or [[Cookbook/RecipeName-Users]]) in their profile which triggers the various pagelists. No comment capability provided.<br>
<br>* Taking Chris's idea one step further is found on Cookbook/PmCalendar-Users (Rating2 on the PmCalendar page itself):<br>** <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PmCalendar-Users">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PmCalendar-Users</a><br>
<br>The pagelist is triggered by the same link like Chris's solution, but an optional PTV on the profile page with the same name as the recipe {$:PmCalendar} becomes a comment next to the name on the *-Users page.<br>
<br>* Approaching it from a slightly different direction I've put an alternate solution demo'd on Cookbook/OpenPass:<br>
** <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/OpenPass">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/OpenPass</a><br><br>
Users create a PTV in their profile with the name
{$:I_Use_RecipeName}. The content of the PTV becomes a
comment next to the user's name on the *-Users page. (Obviously you can use a definition list, hidden PTV, or any other valid way to define the PTV. I demo a couple different approaches to this in my profile.)<br>
<br>
Again, I think any of these and some of the ideas that have been suggested before would work. I just really don't want the discussion to die yet again without a decision having been made...<br><br>-Peter<br>
