Won't using a font that isn't a standard internet font mean that someone looking at it without that font installed on their computer would end up with a different font on their screen?
No, actually. The font will be output as part of an image. Here is what I have so far:
http://theblocklibrary.site11.com/inclu … or=control

To use:

http://theblocklibrary.site11.com/include/img/blocks/specparser.php?spec=spec&type=(reporter|stack|stop|boolean)&color=(category name|hex colour)

Why is the boolean showing as a ?

sparks · 2011-06-05 12:41:03

That is... amazing! How did you do that? (reporters look a little odd and boolean is marked as a stack). How are you going to deal with arguments? They're stored as % in scratch which the url may take as an alt code and as $ in panther which may be mistaken as a variable....

I'm converting the Scratch ones to Panther style, then just using a lot of regular expressions.

Cool! $ won't interfere with the url?

I love this because it means that users will not have to upload images anymore, we won't have to upload the existing ones to the new site, and there won't be people who cannot view the blocks through image filtering unless our site itself is filtered!

What a great idea!

scimonster · 2011-06-05 13:30:42

And then, once it's perfected, could we use all these in the Library itself?
Also, what if the thread/site gets blocks the other doesn't?

I don't think arguments are supported by his system yet!

TheSucessor, I wanted to add some MySQL to the site but none of the pages actually appear in the file manager... Where are they?

scimonster · 2011-06-06 09:00:47

The site's content should be like this, IMO:

Code:

<div id="content">
<h2>The block library site. If you are interested in developing this, please:</h2>
<p>Send your email to sparks at <a href="mailto:purplesparkz@ymail.com">mailto:purplesparkz@ymail.com</a> including your Scratch username.</p>
<p>Comment on the <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=52709">development thread</a> saying that you have emailed Sparks.</p>
<p>The FTP login details will then be sent to you by email.</p>
</div>

(Full code of site:

I haven't quite done it yet. It leaves the right amount of space for an argument, but doesn't draw it on yet. Play around with it and you'll see.

BTW, with you code for the site, having a mailto: link like that can be a problem as there are bots which scan website after website just to pick up addresses to spam. That's why the email is written as it is. It's annoying, but it happens.

I guess I did something wrong. hmm

sparks · 2011-06-06 09:57:22

Why can't I see any of the php files for the site in the file manager?

maybe replacing the email with an image of the text for the email would deter them?

It's a direct link to email. wink

sparks · 2011-06-06 10:12:26

No it's not. A spambot wouldn't find it unless it had OCR which is unlikely for one looking for emails.

example:

the site wrote:
Send your Email to sparks at including your Scratch username.

scratcher7_13 · 2011-06-06 10:15:47

When will the website be ready for testing?

sparks · 2011-06-06 11:47:30

I want to work on the pages of the site but none of the php pages are appearing in the file manager so I can't edit them...

Are you looking in the root directory or in /public_html?

If you can't find them at all, try using an FTP client like FileZilla, or a neat little Firefox addon known as FireFTP. They seem to work for me.

unless it's called default.php I can't see it in the public.

Ctrl-F5?

Edit: I can't see your database and you can't see the PHP files. Are you sure you're using the same account as us? It's the purplesparkz one, not m********cher. (Trying not to give away that email address.)

Oh. Right. That explains it!

Much, much better! Silly me! Right! So. Would you like me to add a "block count" to the main page?
