well, maybe make another category in scratch (find a tutorial) and call it other. I, personally, think it should be grey for some reason  lol   tongue

*cough cough ID cough cough*
*coughs in pain*

I sorta am struggling to find out how.

I don't know about the CSS text, but i think you can ID the button and do this:

(id of button) {

background-image: url(http://www.block-library.freehostingcloud.com/submit/images/button.png);

}

try that, and see if it works.

Hi guys, I thought I'd put a a few disgustingly bare html forms up - the peak of my HTML knowledge, so you can have a sort of idea as to how I picture the forms to work... if not look  tongue

Searching for a block
submitting a Panther block
submitting a scratch block
submitting a BYOB block

By no means are these set ideas, they're just an early representation and I think the contain all the necessary fields that the final ones will have! Feel free to make changes or disregard  smile

For the scratch blocks you need to make a place to say where under scratch objects it will be, like: http://kule.weebly.com/

(I am starting to understand HTML better.)


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

Re: Welcome to your local block library! - Website development thread.

Hi guys! Sorry I was away for all that  hmm  I'll be on this evening though!

Reading through that it seemed to be getting a little heated so I was going to say try and remain calm and polite, but it seemed to cool down again towards the end so I guess you got it back under control responsibly.

Pecola1 poses a good point. Depending (for a Scratch block) whether it can be used for the stage and the sprite or only one of the two, the blockspec goes into a different place. I think we should have one of two options. The one on Pecola1's mockup where you can choose where it goes, or a dropdown list containing common paths to blockspecs with an "other" text space next to it where a different path can be entered. One thing the current library does not really have is a path for each piece of code and I would like to add that to the new site in order to make block adding easier for newcomers.

I spoke to Coolstuff (as you can probably see) and he  has said there's no problem with going ahead and making a site!

meowmeow55 also poses a good point, the urls given into both the sprite file text box for BYOB and the block images for all the blocks need to check to see if they are of the correct format. (e.g. jpg, gif, jpeg, png and other common, compatiable image formats and then the .ysp format for a sprite file). This saves us getting people typing nonsense into the form really quickly to get a dud submission (something that happened a lot to me when I ran my survey).

Along the same lines, is there a way for block library submitters to log into the library with their Scratch account? This would stop someone doing something stupid (e.g. rude or dangerous)and submitting it under another scratcher's name? If not, can we get the "Who created this block?" box to check to see if the name entered into the box is a valid Scratch username?

I think all the images of the block catagories look dirty. Correct me if I'm wrong, it might just be my computer. Here are some clean ones I've uploaded to my imageshack though sadly these have white borders around them  hmm .

The Panther upload form currently does not have catagory options for files and colors... and clicking Submit block" takes you to a typo: "Block submited successfuly!" Should be "Block submitted successfully!"

Hi guys! Sorry I was away for all that  hmm  I'll be on this evening though!

Reading through that it seemed to be getting a little heated so I was going to say try and remain calm and polite, but it seemed to cool down again towards the end so I guess you got it back under control responsibly.

Pecola1 poses a good point. Depending (for a Scratch block) whether it can be used for the stage and the sprite or only one of the two, the blockspec goes into a different place. I think we should have one of two options. The one on Pecola1's mockup where you can choose where it goes, or a dropdown list containing common paths to blockspecs with an "other" text space next to it where a different path can be entered. One thing the current library does not really have is a path for each piece of code and I would like to add that to the new site in order to make block adding easier for newcomers.

I spoke to Coolstuff (as you can probably see) and he  has said there's no problem with going ahead and making a site!

meowmeow55 also poses a good point, the urls given into both the sprite file text box for BYOB and the block images for all the blocks need to check to see if they are of the correct format. (e.g. jpg, gif, jpeg, png and other common, compatiable image formats and then the .ysp format for a sprite file). This saves us getting people typing nonsense into the form really quickly to get a dud submission (something that happened a lot to me when I ran my survey).

Along the same lines, is there a way for block library submitters to log into the library with their Scratch account? This would stop someone doing something stupid (e.g. rude or dangerous)and submitting it under another scratcher's name? If not, can we get the "Who created this block?" box to check to see if the name entered into the box is a valid Scratch username?

Okay, I can make those changes. We can't let users logon with their scratch username but we might be able to check their username is valid  smile

I'll replace those images tonight then and change the typo too  big_smile

I'm currently making the approve form thing ect. It's going well but could everyone email me (daffy22scratch@gmail.com) what they want their password to be. Thanks  smile
