Since Brad has set up a Trac wiki for tutorials, we're going to be retiring the original dsource tutorial system. I had fun learning enough PHP to get the old system working, but the new Trac wiki is more practical. It has built-in features for previewing before posting, searching, and safeguards to prevent accidental (or mischievous) modification. In other words, it allows me to spend more time expanding entries and submitting new ones, and less time hacking up the system in PHP to add new features (not that I don't like PHP). I think there were some advantages in the old way of doing things, but I think the Trac wiki will be much better in the long run.

The new tutorial wiki: http://trac.dsource.org/projects/tutorials/wiki/

I've gone and added in all of the existing examples (hopefully I didn't forget any). I haven't re-tested any of them yet, but I plan to do that (and I'll add a note indicated which version of DMD I tested them with).

If you want to add new categories or new examples or add more information to existing examples, please be my guest. If you're logged into this phpBB system, it'll automatically put your username on the revision page. Otherwise, I'd appreciate it if you'd try to remember to type in your handle when you're adding or modifying pages. Just so I know who to blame if you mess something up. Just kidding. Wink

I guess I'll be working with Brad to start getting the tutorial tab and other hyperlinks points to the new location.

It is available for some projects already, notably DDL.

http://trac.dsource.org/projects/ddl

the http://trac.dsource.org site will eventually be the http://www.dsource.org site when I get further along. ToDo's include:

- making wiki macros that will display downloads and news in wiki pages
- edit pages to allow project admins to enter new downloads / news items (not the existing ones, but more Trac style)
- modifying Trac code so you can assign a ticket to a project team member only, and it's not free-form text field like current.
- a more searchable / navigable "Projects" home page (and I have to put CSS on it, obviously)

I don't want to switch over yet and take away functionality that's in the PHP system (scarce, I know), but if anyone wants their project up and running on http://trac.dsource.org, let me know. It's a short process, and will open up Trac to more eyes. Pragma and JCC7 have been great at giving feedback, and now it's time for more.

On a related note, I'm very close to getting http://project.dsource.org working for each project. I have a post-commit-hook script that runs upon any checkin to your SVN repos. If you have in any way modified the folder that you designate to contain your project's html docs, then that folder will be exported to a folder on the server and voila, http://mango.dsource.org or http://build.dsource.org is ready to go (former works, latter doesn't). Kris just tried it with Mango and the script didn't fire so I have to track that down. Also, much like Downloads and News, I need a screen for project admins to denote which folder in their repos is the htmldocs folder. Anyone else want to test that script and build their public site, just let me know.

Cheers,
Brad

I'm more than happy to move Build over to Trac. Just let me know what I have to do.

I built http://trac.dsource.org/projects/build earlier today, so you're all set there.

If you have htdocs or 'Build' website files (either DDoc or DOxygen) that could go to http://build.dsource.org in your SVN repos, let me know the location and I'll get them exported.

Looks pretty cool. I haven't had much time to play with it yet, but feel free to move Ares over if you get the chance.

Ares and Mango are moved (both were already up and running on Trac, but on SQLite db's - now switched to more robust Postgres)

What are 'htdocs'? I have html files that document the application but they are not created with DDoc or DOxygen, is that okay?
The docs are already in the SNV repository

http://svn.dsource.org/projects/build/trunk/Docs/

Is that what you needed?

Hi Brad,

I noticed the Mango trac site was down (see timeline); is that related?

Apache restart seems to have fixed it.

I think any .html files will work for what Brad has in mind.

Is this the home page? http://svn.dsource.org/projects/build/trunk/Docs/index.htm

Derek,

Sorry for missing your message in this thread. Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about, and I've gone ahead and hooked build up. You can see the docs at http://build.dsource.org/ instead of having to go to the SVN repos and changing the mime-types of the files and such.

Justin,

Sorry for hijacking your thread.

That's okay. I'm usually the one who hijacks the thread. Wink

Thanks! I'll start bringing it up to date and into a professional look and feel Laughing

Ok, so whenever I upload new docs this gets automatically updated too?
