SUFWI examples forum heading

[Eagle]

when the 'time window' is available I have a cupple of
format suggestions for the 'Examples Section' for this Forum

Format Suggestions:
1. Have a separate Section for Dependancy Modules
2. The other for VB,JS scripts and the rest

just my 2 bob, tks Ted

PS: I have a DirectX 9C-Feb2007 Redist and Winstaller 3.1V1 to V2 'Update Package' to submit for perusal.
both Modules have 'Include and 'Download schemas - in line with supplied format for SUFWI.

Just to say thanks ! from Eagle ;)

My thought on Forum upload Zips is to have the 'Dependancy Modules' zipped with
correct Structure ready to Unzip directly to the SUFWI\..\Dependancies\ Folder

Good ideas, Eagle. We will certainly consider them. On a side note, how was your experience with createing a module? We tried to make sure that the IRMakeBootstrap.chm file was properly and thoroughly documented. But I am too close to it to decide if the docs are sufficient.

Yeah, look I hav'nt gone thru' the entire BStrap help yet,
but from what I've read to get me going, some expansion
on creating Custom Modules may be handy.

I have a cupple suggestions for 'Edit functionality re Modules
but allow me to hold off on that aspect until I'm sure I understand what's
there in current release,

I've done Raw 'rip' and modify of some of the Module Templates to create the ones mentioned..

I reckon the Help file in General Covers everything well,
perhaps a mod to the general Layout:

separate Heading: Dependancies

with reference to functionality - links to examples etc.
when first viewing the Help File - I was looking for that
but needed to dig a bit further.

what might be usefull- specially for those new to Lua and applying
supported actions from the action reference:

ship an 'example Module' with the Product: -.xml, .lua file(s)
for the purpose of learning.

Suggestion: for 'Edit' functionality when selecting Modules
perhaps for Custom only:

One of the first things I was looking for was the ability to 'Open'
a referenced Module 'lua' file for raw editing. - same for the loaded .xml

1. Add a file: 'open-edit' button functionality to allow easy open and 'make
the changes' to a referenced Lua script file.

2. Feature: action editor functionality - scripting window -insert action - edit parameters.

I think the easier it can be made to create-configure BootStrapper supported
files the better - as I would predict it would be used often by a lot of
Developers because of its power.

again , my 2 cents
