Can we have the googleprettify extension please GoogleCodePrettify

it should be installed at this point, let me know if it isn't accepting your code tags properly.

@422 -- thanks, I would love to see/read a great design and themeing section... hint hint ;)

Maybe in a month or so. Doing eighteen hour days to get new site launched. Fortunately our 422 project which cost upwards of 350k to develop has a lot of functionality we can shoehorn into new framework.

I am project managing at the moment, of the 100+ templates ive made, only about a dozen left to do...

Soon as new site is solely in the php guys hands, i will get more involved here. I really like what you guys have done though.

Well done.

Nice... That would be very useful, I could copy class hierarchy from Doxygen docs in UL format...

Thanks, nice input.

I've used the pre tags with class=prettyprint but doing nothing, have tried straight forward code tags too but nothing.

Jongos

I'm doing the class listing... but maybe finish in one or two days.

Got to finish the page on Events first.

dodgerid

First tutorial added, could do with touching up but it's a good starting point.

@hbf

Google's Prettify does not work.

Maybe you could try deactivate the plugin, and try install it manually.

ie. Just include the javascript and css into the header by editing the template.

Layout puzzling me a little at this point, not sure why webmasters bit is up before the programming bit, as the info conveyed by that section should pretty much be known by the point people are looking at the community wiki, was gonna say the same about designers section, but realised I myself styled my Vanilla install before I looked at extending it so that's probably in the right place, but I really think the content panel at the top should return as it gives a great initial overview and sits with the point of being able to jump right to where you want to be at.

What do you think ?

P.S. Loving the event explanation.

Jongos

WIll put back TOC into the main page.

Regarding the arrangement between Webmaster-Designer-Developer, I changed it because there's too much information for Developers.

And since the default theme for Mediawiki, doesn't give headers very good spacing and sizing especially when all kind of headers are there plus the short paragraphs, all makes it looks not so legible, so I move the part with most information down.

I mean, in the original arrangement, it's fine on the top section.

But as you go down, there's too much horizontal line, too much small headers and big headers too.

Jongos

@dodgerid

I'm not so sure about what is it that is called "hook".

So from my explanation do I understand "hook" and "event" correctly.

Like, which is event, and which is hook, and which is event hook.

I get the concept, but not the semantics.

dodgerid

Im not that up on it either, but as I understand it:

The Event is the Happening The Hook is what we capture the Event with when/as it occurs. and The Event Hook to me would be the Event of Hooking the Event. Or the Appropriate Hook for a particular Event. (Hoping this is not to ambiguous.)

Think of the old western films with the steam trains and the mail bags, the train goes past the pole with the hook on and the hook automatically takes the bag.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong :)

@sahotataran added a page on Models list.

A job very well done.

Lookin gooder ;)

sahotataran

I added folder structure as well :D

Jongos

↑ :) didn't notice that, that's uber cool...

guys, while adding classes to the custom event hooks table, I didn't know how to hook to events located in a view file...

My guess is it depends on what controller calls that view, right?

A view that belongs to controller A, could be called by controller B or C.

The context inside a view file change depending on the object that import it, i believe.

Need input on this.

thats correct - it depends on which Controller you are calling

A view that belongs to controller A, could be called by controller B or C.

The context inside a view file change depending on the object that import it, i believe.

Thats correct too. - depends on what data you pass to a view - it will display data according to that.

if you are confused about the events - how they depend on a controller check the eventi plugin - it will list all the events which are called on a page - and how they are called.

DiscussionsController_BeforeRenderAsset_Handler will be different than DiscussionController_BeforeRenderAsset_Handler

This needs more exposure!

Thanks, so i guess the column class/function should be left empty in the "event hooks" page....

excellent!

I just checked out some of the new content.... Wow. Wow. Wow, wow. That's really awesome.

finally got a chance to check out the jOrgChart. that's pretty slick. i'll have to work that into something :)

i look forward to seeing this new project when it's unveiled!

hbf

BTW - I checked and MW shows the code prettify as installed. I'm thinking the issue is with the default minify settings.. looking in to how to disable that. doubt i'll close it tonight, but you can use the syntaxhighlight, pre or code tags at this point.

hbf

ok so i install geshi syntax highlighting... it's a little less automated, but it seems more stable than the google code prettify syntax highlighter.

syntax is < syntaxhighlight lang="php"> < /syntaxhighlight >

422

@hbf added a sneak peek in the off topic area

Jongos

@hbf it works...

but the font is too small.... maybe some tweak on the css would fix it.

there shouldn't be a leading space in the tag or else the Js won't recognise the tag.

<code>

  <syntaxhighlight lang="php">

  </syntaxhighlight>

</code>

it has to be wrapped with <code> tag, outside of it. won't work with <pre>.

Jongos

@hbf

.php.source-php .de1, .php.source-php .de2 {
    background:none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    font:1.0em/1.2em monospace;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    vertical-align:top;
}

changing the font line to 1.2em/1.4em monospace seems to make it at a nice size.

and one more problem, the long lines not wrapping.

just add "white-space: pre-wrap;" to the css.

Jongos

anyone supporting this wiki project could help by giving it more exposure thru google by putting link to it on their sites...

so far this forum is the only website in the whole web linking to it. no way it would show up on the first page of a google search especially when 'vanilla', 'garden' and 'dashboard' is a very generic term.

it will also help HBF raise his forums pagerank.

maybe mentioning it on google plus could help too...

dodgerid

I've added it to the default.master.tpl of my site under the powered by vanilla line, where it will stay forever more.

I may post on a couple of forums when I get a chance and will write a couple of articles on it too.
