[WIP] SMF Coding Guidelines

[Joshua Dickerson]

In the coding guide lines (smf coding guidelines.pdf) it states the following..

Do not indent statements in the global scope (not inside of a class, function, statement)
(see the example in Appendix B)

However, Appendix B does not seem to contain this information.
Or is it just me and I've missed it?

It's not you, I haven't had the time to do any of this. I was hoping someone could pick it up for me. Anyway, to give you an example of what that means:

Code Select Expand

<?php
    // Indented code. Not supposed to be indented here.
// This is where it should start. Being that it is in the global scope.
function show_you()
{
    $a = 'Notice how this is indented here. That is because it is inside a function';
}

// Notice the below is not indented because it is in the global scope.
show_you();
?>

I hope that helps you out some. If you want to edit the original file, I will fix the original post.

If you want to collaborate on this, I've uploaded it to Google Docs. Just give me your info and I will add you to the doc.

This will need tons of updating for SMF 2

Well I'm still working on my coding, so I don't want to correct you there. I did however do a thorough run-through of all the grammar and punctuation, and there seems to be nothing wrong. Hope that helps
