ZIP/TAR file of Jooma RC4 *API*

Hello All,

With RC4 said to be close to stable, and after reading that it is a product of extensive debugging excercise of RC3, which is good, it is possible to have an API all zipped up and ready to go ?

This is because as a small freelance developer with small resources, i reply a lot on information avaliable at fingertips, and not using online access/SVN etc because that would slow things down considerably. Online acess is also used, for the 'difficult to get' and for latest notes, but what a beginner requires is quick easy reference all the time, which means it *has* to be local. I believe there are lots of tiny developers like myself whom i also believe will need this.

This is the way i have worked with JAVA, and PHP and it proved to be extremely effective as i can start coding in a matter of days. So i eargerly await the wrapped up version of Joomla RC4+ API, which being near stability, which would allow more developers to produce more. And if not available, i would help to produce it. I need it. Just show me where they are, i would happily produce the zipped versions and make available for all to download.

Thanks Much.

downloaded and looked at the html in my locahost.
it's definitely worth all the wait.

for the benefit of multi-browser users, this settings in the /media/template_css.css
works for both IE and FF, with a compromise that the source code font is somewhat reduced, but hey guys, you really can't win them all :)

Code: Select all

#maincolumn div.src-code div.src-code ol
{
font-size : 86%;
}

#maincolumn {
   margin-left: 20%;
   float: none;
   padding-left: 25px;
/*[CPD]   width: auto !important;
   width: 100%;      */
width: 700px;
}


note that

Code: Select all

#maincolumn div.src-code div.src-code ol
is not defined originally.

this setting works well for me in my environment, yall may have to tweak the settings a bit if you have a wide bodied bird or if you prefer to maintain font sizes even for the source codes.

hope this helps.
