So I tried out the submitting process and added two new tutorials. Two issues I had. One was that after I filled out everything including uploading the thumbnails, I would hit submit, then I enter the security code, it would then tell me I failed to upload a thumbnail. Since I know I did upload it, I just said submit again…
Good point. I'll add that to the bottom shortly. In the meantime, you can always alter the query string (URL) such that the ...&page="n" parameter is subtracted by one. Super user-friendly, right? Speaking of updates, allow me to transcribe the list of "cool things I'd like to do to the site but need to prioritize": *…
I've hacked it together so that you should never encounter that thumbnail problem again. Then, I ensured that the fields were reset after every submission. Finally, you discovered one more bug, but didn't know it. You submitted tutorials without any tags, so I need something to kick back and say "you need at least 1 of…
Hello everyone, I'm Mr. Bluesummers, and I've created a new tutorial aggregation site called 3dCodex.com. It's named this way because I want to pay specific attention to browse-directed users (without neglecting search-directed users, of course). My goal is to maintain a clean, organized, and useful collection of 3dsMax…
The only thing is a lot of online tutorials disappear or get taken down so there ends up being a lot of broken links on sites, is there a way you could set up a back up system? (like have a download .zip button with the webpage/tutorial saved?)
Correct. Sorry about the auto-message. That's a method stub. Instead of actually doing it's job, it instead "says" that it's done what it's supposed to do. In this case, it's saying "Oh yah, I'm supposed to redraw the tutorials right now". Eventually that'll be replaced with actually redrawing the tutorials. :D Done and…
P.S. Let me say that if you've written tutorials or scripts and submitted them to the Codex, then the "Dashboard" feature will blow you away. Screens still pending.
Give this one a try: Beginner, Tutorial, UVWs/Texturing A Photoshop section would be pretty awesome- maybe as a headline item (i.e. 3dsMax, Maya, XSI, Photoshop...).
Here's what I'm thinking a "Condensed View" will look like for an entry. This mode will basically let you view like...500 tutorials at once, but not in much detail. Any thoughts?
are you currently filtering the tutorials uploaded by hand? I just noticed a lot of them point to external sites which im guessing you have found and uploaded yourself? Nice idea though, i remember when i was at uni things like this where invaluable.
