[Xerte-dev] Re: Default template

[Smith, John]

Timings still a bit weird for me... not such big delays as before (not sure if you've done anything) but still arriving out of order mostly...

I know email isn't a guaranteed delivery platform and that emails can take 72hours but realistically they are more or less instantaneous these days... it could be our over-zealous spam filter though, unless it's still doing similar things for others...

Is the message timings thing still a real problem?

Makes no difference to me... if you feel like a moan and a rant then go for it... we've all been there... but I know what you mean about the email threads... and then the other problem too... they were great when I joined at first but around December they screwed up for me... now they just come in randomly and I see the answers before even seeing the question that was asked... its a little bizarre and disconcerting actually... i think it needs looking into...

Will take a look at the docs and see what I can come up with... need to get my finger out and help Fay finish the html models that I've started and bug fix some of them too.

I wasn't moaning earlier, it's just sometimes one email thread becomes the other one and we end up discussing stuff twice.

I am doing bits of PHP, I guess I am the most active developer / bug fixer on that side but I am more than happy to help show people around bits of the code - I don't get paid for working on XOT stuff so it's more best endeavours on my part. The last big block of work I did was to internationalise it - but this was about 2 years ago now. Modules didn't take long at all (as it was sort of already there). I could make a list of the things I'd change if I was trying to achieve X, but I don't have much in the code I'd change at the mo personally. It has some code that needs improving, lots of it, but I dunno what priorities and goals are.

https://docsgoogle.com/document/d/1xvIPXtLBLhegwI0mo-KH63LxAHvXUAKOcXZusfKNK38/edit is the roadmap, it needs loads of ideas though

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19CGU4KE7x-6f3_Gc7SVgvOhnHS2ryAI-PytcNzdnBG0/edit here is the API ideas as well

Meant to say earlier...

All the work you guys have done with XOT is fantastic!! Will give it a try...

Also, I'm happy doing the html stuff just now but would like to contribute to some of the other bits too... since you seem to be doing all the PHP stuff yourself (and a great job you are doing) I was just wondering where it goes next? Is there a wishlist of where we'd like to be for say 2.5 and what we need to get there? I'm assuming TinCan needs to go in at some point, anything else? Did the Google Doc ever get anything else added to it - sorry can't find it just now...

Hello,

https://github.com/patlockley/XOT-templatecanvas

This is a default blank canvas for a XOT template - IT CONTAINS NO XERTE AT ALL

So it is XOT in the sense it will work on XOT, but at present the code is all dummy functions

Feel free to try
