Topic: How do i make my own Panels???

[Black]

One guy pointed me to this nightmare:

http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/FormMagick%20Reference%20Guide

Or this:

http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Customizing

When was the last time these docs were updated? After even downloading version 7 I noticed once again they changed some of the folders again...

Is there a programmers guide we can read?


#1 How do we make our own Panel? Where is the config file actually at?

#2 Where is the Perl Text:: Guide ?

Why dosn't this work anymore and why wasn't it removed or updated?

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event conf-userpanel

It seems odd they tell me to edit this file:

# heading : Configuration
# description : Your New Server
# navigation : 2000 2200

Placing "#" in front of something means it isn't read.

am I missing something here?

wait let me read more   bogus info and waste my time.. Check this link:

http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/How%20to%20build%20a%20contrib#x34.

Hmm at the bottom seems to be alot of links.. so to be local on someones drive?

Yes, sadly, there are a lot of old documents lying around and not many recent ones. I'm sure the docteam would love some help getting the docs up-to-date.

As for writing panels, have a look at the smeserver-yum package from 7.0alpha - it's relatively clean and simple.

Please join the devinfo mailing list and ask away there. We'll try to help.

Thanks,
