"Change Set: GuideToWeb-tk Date: 4 January 2008 Author: Ted Kaehler Code that writes out the QuickGuides as web pages. User will then move manually them to: http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/QG-web/ Some Guides will need new .jpeg images of their pages. The other guides will need the index in the left sidebar updated. Call to write all Guides including page images. Also call to write a few Guides, and correct the index of the rest. Creates the text of an index page. User can install it at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Etoys_QuickGuides_Index Also, all digits at the end of Guide names are removed."! !QuickGuideGenerator commentStamp: 'tk 1/3/2008 10:32' prior: 0! Used to generate .sexp files for the Quick Guides. These are the help system for Etoys. How to use: Pressing the Help button [?] at the top left of the screen, brings up the QuickGuides flap. The index page has categories of help. The Jump To... button allows you to get to any help guide. To create a new guide, copy the bookmorph out of the flap. Use the halos to completely change the contents. Create help pages for a new topic. When you are done, write the entire project out using "Keep the current project". It is now a .pr file. If you put the .pr into the QuickGuides folder, you will be able to see it in the Help flap. (Click the Help button [?] once to close help, and once again to open it.) You can test a .pr file in the QuickGuides folder, but it is not in the proper format to include in the OLPC build. The purpose of QuickGuideGenerator is to put a guide in to the proper format for distribution. 0) Get the new Guides from http://tinlizzie.org/quickguides 1) Make a folder called "To-Be-Translated" at the top level of your file system. Put the .pr files of all new guides into this folder. 1.5) Make a folder called "Newer" in the folder that has the Etoys image file. Must be a fresh new folder. 2) Start Etoys. You will NOT save this image. 3) Execute QuickGuideGenerator new openInWorld. 4) Wait until a new window appears. 5) Find the folder "To-Be-Translated" in the list and click on it. It's path will appear in the top pane. 6) Press the "Generate" button. Wait. 7) Quit Etoys. 8) "Newer" will now have a .sexp file for each guide that was a .pr file. Files ending in .sexp contain Yoshiki's S-expression linearization of object trees. 9) Copy the .sexp files to QuickGuides, and delete the .pr files of the same name. 10) Rename Newer to be Newer-day-month-year 11) Copy Newer-xx to http://tinlizzie.org/share/QG-compressed 12) copy the .sexp files into http://tinlizzie.org/share/QG-compressed/Quickguides ! ]style[(745 88 16 1111 1)f3,f2,f3,f2,f3!
