Hi Folks.

I need some help (only once) on how to make a new topic in the Lazarus wiki and link it to whatever page sounds the best to be its ancestor. This concerns a new object I made (TFPTimer based, thread safe and thread independant). I'll embed it into a native Lazarus conventional package and publish some help and hints on howto use the component (and maintaing the pages whenever the component behaviour changes, of course. I'm (almost) natively a french speaker but I can accomodate with English as well which means that I can cope with both languages and their respective wiki pages.
That's why I definitely prefer to let someone of you, guys, to choose for me the most relevant page to include the start point of the component page and tell me in a few words how to start. Of course, having a page template would be nice too. Like Lazarus, you know, tell me once and I'll do it as many times as required 8-) BTW, I already have access to modify wiki pages: looks very easy as every page has a Modify tab.

Thanks,

Antonio.

If you search for a page on the wiki whose title does not yet exist, you are prompted if you want to create a page with that title.... which apparently is the way to create new wiki pages (it works, but it took me some getting used to).

I would simply create a page named after the package (AntonioTimer)... perhaps there are others who have better proposals.

As far as the template is concerned: I don't know very much about that; I usually copy the content of another page and just keep the headers etc. In this case you could use e.g. the headers of the fpcup page and replace with your own version.

I'm sure the real wiki experts like Dodi will be able to give more info!

I guess you should also edit some other page so that the new page is linked to at least once.

You could begin with http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Components_and_Code_examples#Packages.2FPrograms_for_FPC.2FLazarus_.28not_hosted_here.29

Yeah, right. But, hem, how to create a new page into the wiki ? :-[

Have you read my email?

First think carefully the title you want to give to your page. Think carefully because in a wiki changing a page name after it was created is often tricky.

Then go to the page where you want your new page to be accessible from (for example "Components and Code examples"). Edit this page to add at the correct place a link (with double angle brackets) to your new page. The link contents should be the title you chose before. After saving this, clicking on the link to your new page will lead you to a form prompting you to create it. I did not try this in the Lazarus wiki, but this is how it usually works in wikis.

Sorry to come back to t his thread but I'm still suck on how to create a new page in the Lazarus Wiki. Nothing found on help on how to create a new page.
As soon as it creataed to link it to another page sounds easy. To fill the page, add files, etc., is a piece of cake.

Antonio.

Have you seen my answer to your original post?

Reading is outdated.
Just do screenshots or publish a tutorial video on Youtube :)

thanks,
Dmitry

Yes Reinier I did. But I'll have to admit that I'm a little bit tired (maybe some more than a little bit ?) O:-)
I apologize anyway.

Eh... No, please, I actually prefer reading :)

I never watch videos. They are always on the wrong speed for me. Too sloooooooooow. With reading, at least I can skip the text to the interesting part. This is not possible with videos.

Michael.

Search for the topic you want to create a new page on. If there's not already a page you'll see something like

There were no results matching the query.

Create the page "Quatermass" on this wiki!

Click on the bit that behaves like a link.

Be my guest ;)

No 'm often tired myself & have the same things.

Always glad to help somebody who gives back to the commununity...

All's well that ends well!

Definitely yes !!
This a damned good path explained 8-) , just a little too late for me :-D , as I did find the same way on my own following Reinier's advice Anyway I do really appreciate Dmitry, thanks.
I believe that this page should be somewhere in the FPC-Lazarus wiki at the very beginning with as big as possible capital letters for the next newbees.

Antonio.

Hi all.

I would like to thank you all for your help to solve this silly problem. My first real contribution to this very exciting project is on the way. The first page is on
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Yet_another_Running_Timer It is still under development, so be patient.

Antonio.

Ditto. Never the right speed, and really badly crossreferenced :-)

When one's feeling contemplative, the last thing one wants is to be accosted by jazz or techno; and Google /still/ haven't worked out how to recognise/index/translate every word and gesture in a video.

On the other hand, when explaining a user interface some sort of animated media can be useful.

Certainly, for general designer principles video is fine. But I already saw that one Delphi video, so I don't need any others :-)

Yes, but I wonder to what extent the IDE itself could be used to present an animation? Does it have enough macro facilities to illustrate- for example- docking techniques without having to construct an animated GIF for the wiki?

Currently the macro recorder only supports the source editor functions (short cuts).
