Great course, very refreshing to go through, i have a list of suggestions. Where i say "should be" you of course also can read that as "could be" :) cheers.
unit2 Page 6: "1. Copy farcry bundle to webroot" So use the newest version, and where to download? --- Page 6: "2. Copy Demo Media into webroot" Where to download? --- Page 6: “4.c. Open the ColdFusion Administrator and create MySQL datasource pointing to your newly minted database” Should be "create a MySQL datasource" and how should it be called?. --- Page 6: "6. FarCry should have detected that you need to install and redirected you to the installation wizard; if it hasn't speak now or forever hold your peace." I have already a farcry istallation with webserver mappings, so i had to run http://localhost/webtop/install, i asume the course is held on a pc without any installation. --- Page 6: "7. Run through the Install Wizard" What projectname for this course? And of course standard mollio skeleton, but what plugins selected? unit3 Page 8: "4. OK so now we want to add a bit of content of our own. Browse to the Content Tab and select the Quick Site Builder utility." Should be "Browse to the Content Tab, select "Content Publishing" from the left drop down menu, and at the top select the Quick Site Builder utility. --- Page 8: "5. Build your own web site content from HTML pages, the standard template and approving all content up-front. Use the following as a guide:" Any additional info on how all settings should be? Maybe a screenshot of the settings? Does "from HTML pages, the standard template" mean that you have to select (auto create children) type html page and the default webskin template? --- Page 8 / media library: "1. Select the Content Tab, and open the Bulk Image Upload utility." Should be "Select the Content Tab, select "Content Publishing" from the left drop down menu, and from the left side menu "Media Assets" select the Bulk Image Upload utility. --- Page 8 / media library: "3. Go to the Media Library of images..." Should be "From the left side menu "Media Assets" select Image Library. Or when supposed to check the images folder itself, provide that path info / suggestion. --- Page 8 / Rich Text Editing: "5. Use the "FarCry Button" on the rich text editor to insert your images into the body content directly." When using the FarCry Button I don't see any related images after succesfully uploaded in previous step. When i use Associated media: image, i see all images, but that's not the same as "insert your images into the body content directly". --- Page 8 / Publishing Rules: "1. Go to a page on your website, and look for the "Float Menu" (top-left of your website when logged in as an administrator). When you find it you should see an option to go into "Design Mode"." Should be "Go to a page on your website, and look for the "Menu tray" (bottom of your website when logged in as an administrator). When you find it, click on "Hiding rules" (currently the rules / design is hidden) to go into "Design Mode" (showing the rules / design)." --- Page 9 / Publishing Rules: "6. Hide design mode, using the option in the float menu." Should be "Hide design mode, by again going to the "Menu tray" at the bottom of your website, and now clicking "Showing rules" (currently the rules / design is showing) to hide them." unit4 Page 11 / Reloading The Application To Recognise Webskin Changes: "If you are logged in you can reload the application from the "Floating Menu" or by simply running a page with &updateapp=1 at the end of the URL. Alternatively, if you only want to reload part of the application, go into the [ webtop / admin / developer utilities / reload application ] and simply select the options you wish to reload." Should be: "If you are logged in you can reload the application from the "Menu tray" at the bottom of your website (by the left orange button) or by simply running a page with &updateapp=1 at the end of the URL. Alternatively, if you only want to reload part of the application, go into the [ webtop / admin / left drop down menu: developer utilities / upper left menu "Application" and click on "reload application" ] and then simply select the options you wish to reload." --- Page 12 / Template Name - Purpose - Examples: In "edit.cfm" Purpose text "ovveride" should be "override". (oh my) --- unit5 Page 19 / Walkthrough: Creating Super Hero: "3. Go to the FarCry Webtop and deploy the content type: ADMIN > Developer Tools > Types" Should be "Go to the FarCry Webtop and deploy the content type: ADMIN > left drop down menu "Developer Utilities" > left menu "COAPI Tools" and select Types" --- Page 19 / Formtools: "Formtools is essentially library of" should be "Formtools is essentially a library of"? --- unit8 Page 33 / Object Broker Report: "by running the Objectbroker Report in the webtop Admin section". Should be "by running the "Object broker Report" in the webtop Admin > left menu "Cache Management" section. unit11 Page 47 / (I) Reloading configuration: "1. Admin->Reload application- >Config settings". Should be "1. Admin > Drop down menu "Developer Utilities" > top menu "Application" > menuitem "Reload application" > Bottom menu "Miscellaneous" > select "Config settings". --- Page 47 / Walkthrough: Installing Google Maps Plugin: 5 and 6 "Go to the Admin > COAPI >" Should be "Go to the Admin > Drop down menu "Developer Utilities" > left menu "COAPI Tools". --- Page 47 / Plugins & Content Types: "We can see this using the COAPI Scope Dumper located in the webtop "Admin / Developer Utilities / Scope Dump" Should be "We can see this using the COAPI Scope Dumper located in the webtop "Admin / drop down menu "Developer Utilities" / left top menu "Application" / Scope Dump". --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
