Sample Module

spasticdonkey · Posted: Fri May 15, 2009 9:09 am

I was working on creating a "Sample Module" awhile back, and thought I may have a window of time to work on it again; but had a couple questions..

The module would be a tutorial on how to author a basic module within RavenNuke, how to add custom css, js, dynamic titles, and how to use a handful of nuke basics, such as displaying different content to registered and anonymous users, using and calling language definitions, and so on. The only SQL in the module would probably be an RN version check. The module will be language aware (only english included) and compliant.

So, my questions would be:
1. There was some discussion on changing the way RN loads JS files, similar to the define ('RN_MODULE_CSS','your-css.css'); used for calling css... Any plans in the works for this??

2. Once complete, I would probably have to have an RN team member take a look at it before I distro'd... Just to make sure I have approached things correctly.. I'll do my best to make it a simple module with alot of notes in the code for learning purposes.. So I guess question 2 is whether an RN team member would have the time/interest to look it over...?

Completion date? That's really up in the air.. Could be sooner or later.. Someday? lol

Discussion stalled a bit. I would just assume for now its as it is today. Personally, I would rather us use 'your-css.php' instead of 'you-css.css' so that the module designer can control having multiple css(/js) files loaded in the header without having to use import or other means.

Since we are ALL so busy, I would recommend hitting us up once you're pretty sure its as close to release from your perspective as possible so that its only 1 or 2 reviews of code, rather than multiple rounds.
