Kto jest odpowidzialny za tę stronę? The webmaster (Philippe) decided to create the site in December 2001. Many European users now contribute to running the site. Craco (Peter) is in charge of the forum, avij (Anssi) has donated a new server to the site in mid-2003 and maintains it. Nerzhul (Marko) has been involved in further site development since 2005. Various other tasks have been assigned to dedicated volunteers, such as translations, email support, the moderation of the list of hits, the moderation of the forum, and the addition of location coordinates. All this work is done on a voluntary basis and for the fun of it!
Co powinienem wiedzieć o interesujących zagadkach technicznych tej strony?
Buferowanie For performance reasons not all statistics are calculated whenever they're requested. Instead, the first time a result is calculated it is stored in the cache and then re-used whenever this specific statistic is accessed again within a certain period. The refresh timeouts vary depending on the nature of the statistic, from a few seconds to several days.
Kolejkowanie Some statistics take a very long time to calculate or appear on a page together with so many other statistics that the combined calculation time would be unbearable for our users. These statistics are queued for later calculation. If possible, previously calculated (but possibly outdated) cached results will be displayed and are marked in italics to indicate that they are out of date. Queued statistics are calculated in the background whenever the load state of the server permits it, so there are no guaranteed creation and refresh times. Some statistics take so long and require so much of the server's resources that they can only be generated at night.
Unikod Począwszy od maja 2006, baza danych utrzymywana jest w Unikodzie (UTF-8). W ten sposób znaki greckie i litery akcentowane wszystkich europejskich języków, łącznie ze słowiańskimi, wyświetlane są w jednakowej formie. Jest to niezbędne w celu śledzenia banknotów w rozrastającej się strefie euro. Niemal każda przeglądarka poprawnie wyświetli całą stronę EBT. Niestety niektóre stare programy, n.p. stare edytory tekstu albo narzędzia statystyczne, mogą niepoprawnie odtworzyć pliki CSV.
System promotorów (referers) EuroBillTracker users can invite new users to join EBT by using a special referrer link which can be found in the About section once logged in. By joining EBT using the referrer link the new user is added to that user's list of referred users; but if the new user enters directly through http://www.eurobilltracker.com the referral will not be recorded. By gathering enough referred users it is possible to get a bit of fame because there's a listing of Best referers in the statistics section. The main reason why you are seeing such advertisements is that by getting more users involved, the probability of a hit increases. It should be pointed out that the referring user gets absolutely no financial benefit by referring a new user to the site. We all do this just for fun :) We urge our users to use common sense when they are placing their advertisements! In particular, we request them to avoid any situation where the promotion might be considered as spam. Users who create a nuisance, for example on other forums, may find their referer count reduced or set to zero.
Babel i tłumaczenia. Jako, że Eurobilltracker jest wspólnym dziełem Europejczyków, webmaster poprosił początkowych użytkowników, by przełożyli strone na inne języki.
Kierowanie dużą grupą tłumaczy (w grudniu 2006 było ich około 90!) nie jest łatwym zadaniem, wobec czego webmaster uruchomił specjalne urządzenie open-source, zwane Babel. (Patrz Strona PHPBabel)
Jeśli jesteś w stanie pomóc nam w przetłumaczeniu strony na inne jezyki, daj nam znać. Zrobimy z Ciebie tłumacza! Zależy nam szczególnie na językach krajów, w których euro stanie się niedługo oficjalną walutą.
Ważne trafienia i system nadzoru. We currently have a binary rating system for hits - it can either be interesting or not. If a hit is not considered interesting it will be moderated and not be shown in the list of recent hits or used in rankings. Don't worry if one of your hits gets moderated, you still have full access to the hit data and you can still share it with other users.
The moderation of a hit can happen either manually by a few selected members, or automatically if a hit matches certain characteristics, for example if its time difference is 0 days or if there are multiple, very similar hits between two users at the same time. By default every new hit is considered interesting.
