[Slashcode-development] some quick bender questions

[jesse h. <je...@ta...>]

so i spent a good part of the weekend playing with bender.
i've included my apache install notes for anyone interested.

i've got a few quick questions:

how might i test out the MAIN2Bender script?
is it command line? like: MAIN2BENDER old.sql > new.sql
or something like that?

what about template-tool?

also, when using the template editor in backslash, is there any way to
export changes made? essentially i'm wondering about how to start a
theme in /usr/local/slash/themes

what i was going to do was just cp -a slashcode theme and then reverse
engineer from there. are directories automatically recognized by the
slash-install script?

this bender install is just for me to play with, so i don't mind junking
it up, and trying stuff out

any thoughts on what the current timeline for development is?


thanks as always! :)

I haven't used it, but there is a usage() sub (which is apparently never
executed :) in the program that tells you how to use it.


>what about template-tool?

Same thing, except that usage() will be executed if you do not supply any
arguments.

template-tool can save templates to disk.

I don't know.  Someone needs to write documentation for plugins and themes.

When we think the beta is about ready for release (soon), we will migrate
slashcode.com to Bender.  Then we will use slashcode.com as a guage for
when Bender is ready for release.  Users of the site will help us find
bugs, we will get a good stress-test for the system, etc.  Right now we are
in the process of getting new machines set up for the migration, then we
will start migrating.

I scp the slashcode theme to a new directory and just removed basically
everything and started adding what I wanted back (with edits).

If you do it in the directory that you untar to install slash (so this
would be themes/) the install process will recognize your
theme during the install process. Make sure the directory structure
is similar. I'll be putting together a document on it today.
Same with plugins.

I started using pieces of it as of this weekend on a production
site. We have machines now to move slashcode, so it is a matter
of moving data.
