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!

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.

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.

you still need to replace the <base href="..."> with actual references in the links.

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.

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.

Adding folders right now...

[Raven_Writer]

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?

* 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.

echos asked about posting rights.

To make it clear:
To get posting rights, you must register for an account at nrg.chaosnet.org. Make sure you put your team number on the register page.

Could you make it highlight the syntax of php files?

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

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!
