Making MOD Upgrade, Search & Maintain Easier

[shlomot]

Dear fellow coders and designers,

While vB does its best to maintain structured code throughout its platform, we do very little, sometimes, to keep it this way.

Here is a little suggestion towards better coding for the sake of our users and easier instructions for product upgrade and maintenance:

Let's start and end our code segments in template files with the tags:

<!-- [product name without version] Starts -->
...
<!-- [product name without version] Ends -->



See here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1507931) how easier it becomes to give users upgrade instructions, not to speak of the added confidence it will give vB members that they can better locate and administer mods even when long time has passed since the original product installation.

Please reply to this post as a vote of agreement to embed the tags into your scripts.

Users can already do this when they add template edits. I do it myself, when making changes, to mark what I did.

My suggestion aims to accommodate nontechnical users, not experts like you:)

P.S. Did I post this thread in the right forum?
