AniDB:CSS DEV: Difference between revisions

This pages content is centered around CSS developement via Anidb's SVN. The goals of the SVN are:

# keeping track of all css

# version control for developers

# automatical upload procedure to one of anidbs server

# automatical update of the drop down menu in the [[profile]]

=open issues=

#screenshot filename and resolution

#format and name of the descriptionfile (xml?)

#stuff

First thing you need a client. You can of course use any svn client you want, but we recomment [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ Tortoise SVN] for windows user as it nicely integrates into Explorer and makes it, as such, very easy to use. After that you specify a dir on your hdd where you want to put the files and checkout the current CVS version.

For write access contact an AniDB Mod.

There are a few things that needs to get done when adding a new project.

:1. add a new dir for your project in the css folder (/trunk/css/<your project>)

:2. name the dir as you want to call your style ('''NO SPACES!''')

:3. if you are using images different from the anidb ones add a /images/ dir below your project (i.e. /trunk/css/<your project>/images)

::* you may use subfolders below that one if you want)

:4. add a screenshot of your style in the images folder with the following specifications: (filename: screenshot.<ext> and resolution:)

:5. add a description file in the root of your project, add the following lines and fill them accordingly as you see fit:

::*Title:  

::*Creator:  

::*Last update:  

::*Status:  

::*further notes:  

 

in the end you should end up with a structure like this:

 

:/trunk/css/<your project>

:/trunk/css/<your project>/description

:/trunk/css/<your project>/images

:/trunk/css/<your project>/images/screenshot.png

Optional:

:6. for autoprocessing edit the '''styleslist''' file and add a relative path for the main css file (the one with all your ''@import'' lines, i.e. ./sub/silver/main.css)
