 Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2007 3:30 pm Post subject: AutoHotkey Script Base - A XML database file |
 |
|
I wanted always have a offline and searchable database of scripts and libraries. Other developers could write custom applications accessing the database which has more information than simply the name and author of the corresponding script.
Don`t know if I can download those scripts and package them up into one big archive, for distributing purposes. But not those providing external links to download, then the link would be just copied. I mean those simple scripts just enclosed between the code tags.
This is just a proof of concept, any suggestions are welcome.
Is anyone interested in? Which tags should be used. Later the DTD may follow.

Also providing a RSS for news about the newest script version or something would be great. |

I worked on something similar a while ago. I planned to make an online script database which would be catagorized and searchable with user ratings and other features. I wrote specialized PHP/MySQL CMS scripts before so it didn't seem like a big challenge. The scripts would have been packaged in an RDF using DC extensions. I would've used a XulRunner to display them in a way similar to Firefox's Help Viewer for a desktop version. Gecko renders XSLT correctly (i.e. this example page is distorted in IE) which meant I could take full advantage of AJAX and other cool stuff. But I cba to continue, and Chris hasn't even told us the plan for stdlib yet.
majkinetor has some proposals for syntax documentation standardization, perhaps he could outline them in this thread.

or perhaps he could start a new one instead of hijacking this one  . |

Since an RDF will cover comments and syntax it seems appropriate to discuss all matters of standardization here. Point besides, you're not a moderator or site admin so with all due respect, why do you feel the need to tell people how to organise their posts?

I was thinking of a downloadable database with external compiled script for distribution purposes, for example on journal magazines also.
A XML file can be read by so many other applications and the potential is much greater than an online database. |

I was thinking of both, MySQL supports XML.

Well, I'm a moderator and/or admin at a few other sites so I guess it's a bit of a habit. Strange how some people feel the need to try and micro-moderate some of my posts in this forum and that seems to be ok though. It was only a friendly suggestion anyway that seemed logical since this topic does not mention Natural Docs. |
