I like the "Tutorials Done Right". I think it's catchy. And TDR is a nice abbreviation.

Hmm, that's a good thought actually — perhaps I'll use that as the title.

Added fallback background colours for IE (embarrassed! should have done this for my whole site ages ago). Should be a little less grey-on-black now

Hi everyone,

Okay, been doing some work on this and started on both the editing UI and the backend. Guides are stored in a folder with a GUID for a name. The latest version is a Json file called latest.json, and previous versions are stored by unix time stamp in a sub folder called old, and indexed in versions.json. The php takes a GUID and loads the required data.

The editing UI is an improved version of a previous experiment I made. It explains it's self so have a look at http://waterpigs.co.uk/patterns/index.php/guide/edit/0/

Current limitations:
May not work on Internet explorer! Haven't tested it myself yet but it uses html5 properties.
No editing of images.
No addition or removal of steps.
No saving.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Barnaby

 

Okay, good thing for members of this forum: Added support for LATEX mathematics via MathJax!

You can have a go at editing it too, at http://waterpigs.co.uk/patterns/index.php/guide/edit/0
