 Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 9:30 am Post subject: small changes to AHK-Page and Forum |
 |
|
I think most users that already know AHK are directly
going to the forum if they want infos, but also if they
go directly to the AHK-Page (www.autohotkey.com) they
cannot directly see what is the latest version.
Is it possible to add a little line like
"latest AHK-version is x.xx.xx.xx" on the AHK-Main-Page
and maybe also at to of the Forum-Index-Page 
It's not much work but make things more comfortable.

It's a good suggestion. I'm not sure about the forum, since it might be more difficult to add it discreetly there, but certainly on the main page.
Thanks.

Perhaps a sticky in the Announcements section? Also, a tiny RSS page would serve the purpose for anyone with an RSS reader or an RSS-bookmark compatible browser (such as most Gecko ones, i.e. Firefox). I know it'd be cool for me to have a little version indicator in my browser. 
On the flip side, I know all these little things add up for you when you update. Perhaps you could make a script to do it all at once.  |

I do have script that automates most of the build process. And one of these days, I'll try to add some RSS capability (it's a new area for me).
Thanks for the ideas. |

| No, not yet. I'm sure there's a mod for it somewhere, but mods usually increase time spent on forum maintainence. Even so, I'll keep an eye out for one. |

Could switching on subscription only for annoucement a solution? OK, that's your server load...
Or - maybe - just writing out textfile like www.autohotkey.com/currentversion.txt just containing the version string? Than everybody who likes can implement a version checker in his famous script...

| I'm a little cloudy on what you're proposing. |

Uh, sorry - If a text-file under a given URL exist (e.g. www.autohotkey.com/currentversion.txt) and it contains just one line with A_AhkVersion everbody who want's can
| Code: |
URLDownloadToFile, http://www.autohotkey.com/currentversion.txt, temp.txt
filereadline, currentversion, temp.txt, 1
filedelete, temp.txt
ifgreater, currentversion, %A_AhkVersion%, msgbox, Newer EXE!
|
Like RSS without XML
