Post by gbWilly »

Since last post I got side tracked from building a new .iso. I have been mainly focusing on 3 things:

1. Making sure the guide viewer part of GambOS Learning Center has been optimized to build a proper treeview for navigating the guides and setting the proper icons at the proper places. Book icon for guide, folder icon for chapter and a document icon for content page. This took least of all time to get to the desired result. Also tweaked and fine tuned some parts, while I was at it.

2. Working on the style and layout for the guide. This took quite some time as I just kept on improving it over the last days to get it to my liking's. I decided to go with html for the guides. The Guides and their chapters are basically folders filled with html pages being the content. CSS is my friend for the uniform style. All is read into a treeview for navigation and overview. Fun project.

3. Incorporate templates for 'guide page', 'guide title page' and 'guide license page' into new file making in my editor 'gbEditor'. So, in essence I build in support for writing my guides in same style and layout in my private editor. I write in the html part and have a preview to see the direct result. No WYSIWYG editor, just a tab html and a tab with preview and some pre code buttons in a toolbar for inserting code boxes, warning boxes etc. Also a fun project to do. (You like my workspace background ;) )

While switching, mostly between above point 2 and 3, I also prepared a title page, license page and wrote the foreword for 2 upcoming guides, a 'Gambas learning guide' and a 'GambOS background guide'. It was just part of testing code while working on gbEditor, testing layout and such. I'm quite please with how things turned out.

Now that this part is to satisfaction, it is back to preparing .iso build 20.

Meanwhile, a group and separate space for contributors, has been created. Here contributors cab find new missions to complete, report back on findings and interact with other contributes. Those that have been testing, please request to be added to the Contributors group, so you get access to the Contributor corner of project GambOS. You can find it on your profile page.

For now, enjoy...
