Re: [wxCode-users] Proposal: optional links

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi,
    this would be a good thing. in this week I won't have much time for wxCode website... 
and since this is not so urgent, I would ask you to open a feature request on wxcode 
project page to remember me to do it in future ;-)

Ideally, the need for a screenshot / doc link page would be detected by the website itself 
looking at the

/home/groups/w/wx/wxcode/htdocs/documentation/PROJNAME
and
/home/groups/w/wx/wxcode/htdocs/screenshots/PROJNAME

folders: if they are empty no links are shown. However I think this would have a big 
performance impact on the website so options like you proposed are probably better.

However I would not allow the possibility to remove the LOGO since
1) it's used as a link anchor for the showcomp.php?name=XXXX page.
2) it gives an idea of the component (for libraries which don't have GUI you can think to 
something else - e.g. look at wxxml2 or keybinder or wxscript's logos) and makes the 
complist page pretty ;)
