Why can't translations be added in the docstrings?

Re: Media Wiki
we don't want to congest the code.
example
can you imagine having that docsting repeated for 10 different languages?
that is what the size of it would be. I am using this as an example of something that would have a long docstring. not the actual content of this one specifically
example
Code: Select all
class WindowsVersion:

A convenience module for checking the windows version.
In addition to the *IsXY()* methods, you can use comparison like this:

``OPERATOR`` is one of ``<``, ``<=``, ``==``, ``!=``, ``>=``, ``>``

Re: Media Wiki
Disclaimer: This is just my opinion. I won't be doing anything documentation/help related for EG.
Ideally there is bundled offline version of the help installed with EG, and when the user invokes the help it shows the online help and if there is no internet it shows the local help instead.

I don't mind EG using an online help but I REALLY want EG to have an offline version available installed with EG.kgschlosser wrote:one of the following should happen either we deep six the offline help and go with an online one.
As long as the help button (or whatever shows the online help) clearly indicates that it uses an external browser for the help.and when help is clicked in the program then it would load up an IE window or launch the browser and set the address to the online help. or we bundle that help with EG and do not have the online variant.

Re: Media Wiki
@jonib
Now that I am thinking about it. if we moved things like the code/plugin help to a different place and there is the media wiki for the plugins and things of that nature. there there is really no need to offer an online/offline of the help. we could simply stick with bundling one with EG. the big reason for making it online was because if we keep everything like it is when the documenting of the various EG bits starts the Help file would get really bloated with thing that a normal user would not use. this is why i wanted to do an online version of it. so if we move the coding portion of the help into a wiki then i see no reason why it can't stay like it is.
any thoughts on this?

Re: Media Wiki
The user and developer docs are in reStructuredText which is converted with sphinx to HTML and CHM. (Sphinx also supports theming.) Before github the html files were automatically put on the webserver. That is currently not happening but i think that could be easely brought back. I can split the docs to a user and a developer part (already tested) and only add the user doc to the setup.
Does anyone of you know Read The Docs? We could put the user and developer docs there. The will automatically be updated on new releases and the reader can then select the version to read. It' also possible to add different languages. I like that site because it means we don't need to worry about the server setup (folders, version links , etc.). (Just as a demo, will remove it later: http://eventghost.readthedocs.io)
I like to have both, online and offline versions of the help file. From my POV it's easy to have, because we just need to setup it once in our build tool.

Re: Media Wiki
well if the mechanism is already in place and it's easy to do then go for it. I would like it if we could keep the online stuff all the same. just use Media Wiki. but i think that this would be difficult to do because of sphinx outputting in html and the media wiki is stored in mysql. I guess we would have to see how media wiki works.

Re: Media Wiki
not completly sure but it might be possible to use git to get the contents of mediawiki, change files and commit the changes.
Re: Media Wiki
I just wanted to check in on the idea we discussed about automatic backups of the Git repository and GitHub data for the EventGhost/EventGhost GitHub repository. Has that been implemented yet? If not I will open an issue on GitHub so the idea doesn't get lost in the noise of the forum.kgschlosser wrote:if for some crazy reason github goes belly up tomorrow and they shutdown all of the servers that information is lost.

Re: Media Wiki
@ pearbear
I am thinking what I am going to do with that is create a cron job on the new server so collect the data off of gitgub. set it up so it does this daily.
if you want pearbear since you have a much better working knowledge of github then I do. if you know of a method to backup everything from github. or if things like getting the commit history. and the issues, PR's all of the comments. have to be individual commands a list of the commands so I can set this up when the time comes that would be of help to me.. But also yes an issue on github would be most helpful for us to remember to do. I really do want to start using the projects portion of github. I think it would really help us organize better.

Re: Media Wiki
OK, the issue is here:
https://github.com/EventGhost/EventGhost/issues/251
let's continue any discussion there as it will be at least partially off-topic for this thread.

Re: Media Wiki
ok update...
I have gotten the media wiki updated and operational on the new site.what a pain. there were alot of changes. and one of the things i had to change out what the skin (page layout) to a different one.. I also had to modify a whole mess of stuff to get the authentication against phpbb to function properly. I do not know if this works I have not tested it as of yet. I haven't tested it and I still have to update phpbb tho the database end of things are in place.
so if you want to have a look see.
