NRG Code Repository
 
The code repository at http://nrg.chaosnet.org/repository is finished.

Anybody can view the code already posted there, but you need to register for an account at the above website to add code.

The repository works only if people add and view code fairly. If you're gonna use it, add some code too! If you have any questions post them here.

If you see any "bad" code, tell me so I can delete it.

And give some reputation to anybody whose code you use! :)

Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Great job!

Just 2 suggestions so far:

1] Add a way so that when you login, you don't have to do it everytime you return (just like the "Remember Me?" checkbox on CD).

2] When you do login, just redirect the user to where they were before logging in. Or atleast redirect the page after 5 or so seconds.

Problem (2): Fixed.

Problem (1): I'm figuring out how to do the "Remember Me" box right now.

Thanx for the help!

Just store a cookie, and don't delete it when the session ends. I think that'll work anywho. I know PHP & ASP has functions to get info from a cookie.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Got it.

Plz give reputation to anybody whose code you use. It'll tell them that they're appreciated and will make give people incentive to add useful code.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 
you still need to replace the <base href="..."> with actual references in the links.

Guest 26-01-2004 13:51
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
I've kept the base tag AND changed all the "../uploads/" paths to absolute paths.

The rest of the links are in the same directory.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Might I suggest a directory structure of some sort? By no means, I'm not saying I know what would be a good structure ... but certainly some directory structure might help. Perhaps you could group it by input: a directory for controlling robot features using a pot, another using limit switches, gyros, encoders, etc. Maybe a special directory for autonomous code. Maybe a directory for code to control driving, and another for other elements of the robot.

The directories would, in my mind, help people to know what to contribute to the repository. Certainly short snippets that, say, lift a robotic arm via some switch, or control a gripper via pots, would help in training people to program the robot -- if they are sufficiently well-written, and well commented. The project sounds like it has potential.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Adding folders right now...

Raven_Writer 26-01-2004 15:40
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Is it possible to move the code that was previously submitted before the changes (folders)?


Also, I don't really see the need to let the user create a new folder. What if someone just does the process over & over again, flooding the server & using up more bandwidth than needed?

Guest 26-01-2004 15:41
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
* Disabling new folder method (except for admins)
* Adding move feature (you can move your own code, and admins can move any code)

Standby...

Ok. Great job so far though mate!

I hope this pans out for the best.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Could you make it highlight the syntax of php files?

here is the function
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/functio...light-file.php

Guest 26-01-2004 15:59
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
A problem with the highlighting:

When you download the code, it's supposed to give it to you in "pure text" so that you can simply save it. So, I'll add another option - "View with Highlighting" - good idea!

Could you possibly make it highlight C code also?

(I highly doubt strtext(...) works, it's just something that came to me

Why are you using explode?

Check http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php

You have to know regular expressions, but it's the quickest and most flexible way to do it.

Just search for the keywords and replace them when you read the file into a variable...it shouldn't be too tough.

Guest 26-01-2004 16:18
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Someone give me a list of keywords, and I'll use PCRE's to do the highlighting.

I was just using what I knew :\

I haven't done PHP lately (for about 6 months), so most is gone.

<Edit>:
SilverStar: int, unsigned, char, double, float, void, return

There's prob. others, but those are the ones I know MPLAB uses.

Cool. I hope it all works well.

deltacoder1020 26-01-2004 17:14
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
the function in php that was mentioned for syntax highlighting is highlight_string() - this automatically adds syntax highlighting for a string of PHP code. (similar but not the same as C)

Raven_Writer 26-01-2004 17:17
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
One thing though. Please don't do the PHP-style orange commenting. It's very bad to have a light-on-light color scheme.

If you want, here's how VC++ does it:

keywords: blue (#0000FF)
- int, void, char, unsigned, return

processor directives: green (#00FF00)
- #define, #else, #ifndef

comments: green (#00FF00)
- /* */, //

deltacoder1020 26-01-2004 17:29
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
i'm guessing that the custom syntax highlighting is currently a work in progress, seeing as right now is coloring most of my code pink ;)

(Sorry, I'm looking at MPLAB, I don't have MSVC++ on this machine :( )

MPLAB does Proc. Directives blue, and I've seen them purple, too.
Keywords are bold.
Constants are a slightly lighter green then the comments.
Symbols are gray ({} > < = ; etc.)
Strings are blue BUT NOT BOLD!

The colors (and purposes) are below:
  • 000000 Default
    2121B5 Strings, Hex
    2121CE Keywards, Processor directives
    218C21 Numbers
    296B52 Comments
    848484 Symbols
    FF0000 Errors
    FFFFFF Background

I'd post the image, but I can't attach (or can't find the button) :(

Would it be possible (sometime in the future) to put the coloring specifics in the User CP?

I think having a light color on a light background is bad though. I've had numerous accounts of adding a double '{' thinking I didn't have the first one in, because of the very small contrast in colors.

But thanks for the list of the color/values. For attatchments, there's a button called "Manage Attatchments". Click that, and that'll let you upload stuff :D

That's really cool. Thanks for showing the source for it. Did you use any PHP functions for showing the code? (I know there's highlight_code(...) & show_source(...)....don't quite understand how they work though)

Guest 26-01-2004 18:40
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
I use a buffer to hold all the source so that I can format it into a table with line numbers. You're right, I use show_source and highlight_file (not _code)

To get people to add code to the repository.

And, can this thread be made sticky?

Re: NRG Code Repository
 
Syntax hilighting is not quite so simple. There are special cases you have to account for, that make the code somewhat more complex. For example, if I make a comment that says:
Code:
// If the "if" statement's condition below is true, it should run the "auto-vivify-functifier"
I wouldn't expect 'if' to be highlighted another color, nor would I expect the text in quotation marks to be highlighted another color. Also, you have to watch out for "This string keeps on \" going \", even though I just had two quotation marks, I'm still not finished." There are many other conditions you have to watch out for, too. Sure, not all these cases might come up, ... and really, someone can just copy the coad into their favorite C editor anyway, ... but I'd look for an already done solution (why reinvent the wheel? unless, of course, this is for your edification, in which case you might want to think about more of the special cases yourself).

For an example of some conditions you didn't catch, look at the PID code. EDIT: especially, looking over it again, in the Trig lookup table, the "extra" highlighted parts of the comment can get annoying, and potentially mess someone up.

Guest 26-01-2004 20:27
Re: NRG Code Repository
 
The reason I did not use an already made module is because I don't have permissions on the chaosnet server (our host) to install stuff. Since people can see the "special cases" in their own editor (like you said), I'm not gonna spend much more time working on the highlighter. If anyone wants to, they can post it in "Website (Perl/PHP)" folder.

Working on comments system, should be simple.

File update system - you can always edit your code. But I'll work on an version managemtent system (will take time).
