This wizard is used to submit user defined snippets for inclusion in the online Code Snippets database. It is accessed Snippets | Submit Snippets menu item. The menu item is only available if there are user defined snippets in the database.
The various pages of the wizard are discussed below. You can cancel your submission at any time the Cancel button is enabled.
This is simply an introductory page that describes the wizard. Click the Next button to display the Select Snippets page and to begin using the wizard.
This page displays a check list of all the user-defined snippets in the database. It is used to select the snippets you wish to submit.
Check the names of the required snippets. Checking a category selects all the snippets in the category. At least one snippet must be checked before moving on to the next page. If a user-defined snippet was displayed in the main window when the wizard was started, that snippet will be pre-selected in the check list.
Click the Next button to move the next page. If no snippets are selected an error message is displayed.
In order to credit you, and to contact you about any problems, your name and email address are needed. They must be entered on this page in the Name and Email Address text boxes. You can also enter any comments or a message on the page using the optional Your Comments text box.
If you have successfully submitted code before CodeSnip will remember the name and email address you last used and will have entered them in the appropriate text boxes. Please check these are correct and alter as necessary.
You cannot move to the next page until your name and a valid email address are provided. Once the data has been entered click the Next button to move to the next page.
You should provide a valid, working, email address in case there is a need to contact you with any licensing queries. In the case where a dummy email address is provided your submission may be rejected.
