Personal Pocket PC Wiki

[tsteward]

Digitaldon37,
I have added two menu items for a possible way to add markup. See what you think or maybe you can suggest a better way. I am not commited to this way its just a proposal. I think more buttons on screen may make it more finger friendly but will occupy to much screen space

Also back button is fixed.

PPPCWiki now supports template files and file names with spaces.

See post #1

tsteward, I was thinking about moving the buttons to the right side of the screen when in landscape mode.

I don't know about putting markup language help in menu options - I probably wouldn't use them - but I've never really been good at having a knack for UI or usability. Maybe some type of pop-up that you could scroll through.

Yeah I agree UI is hard as its often different people use there devices in different ways etc.
I'm not that fussy where the buttons go but I probably prefer them to stay at the top because I go into landscape mode so I can read longer lines more easily or view pictures that show that way better. If we move the buttons to the side then whats the point of landscape.

And yes i'd be happy with a button operating popup form with icons on it. This would make it more finger friendly, but we can only have so many buttons. I dont have a problem with menus as my soft keys to operate them are on my keyboard so I dont have to use stylus or anything however in the future my next phone may not have a keyboard. Seems to be the trend.

Lastest update is version 0.36 - see post #1
I have improved the handling of template files. It now allows for when template file has not been created. This was a bug I discovered.

Landscape mode working but the form is larger than the screen in landscape mode hence it creates a scroll bar. This is not desired as the web interface also displays a scroll bar on larger pages.

Why Not use the hardware lib resize event to re-order the controls position in landscape mode?

Attached is version .37 - cleaner portrait and landscape modes

The scroll bars were caused (much to my annoyance after messing with this for an hour - I'm the one who put that status label in so I should have caught that) by the status label not being moved up in landscape mode

Changes made:

>App_Start
>flb_Resize

Thanks for the suggestion cableguy - I think the problem was the programmer (me)

update: version .371
- added errorlabel to parseslashwiki (invalid syntax would throw an error)
- fixed procedure "checkwikifile" - would error on slash (extension not set)

update: version .372
- fixed procedure "parsebladewiki" - would error if markup character in position 1 (also fixes "include header")

Getting hard to remember what I've done.

V0.38
Can now open other wiki's via menu.
Fixed image bug on PDA
Fixed ^include links
Fixed bug leaving garbage between pics and not closing </a> tag

TODO
Check table formatting I think theres a html bug there.
Getting very close to being completely compatible with BladeWiki.

Replace the code for Parse(url) with this:

Sub Parse(url)
url=ValidateURL(url)
urlType=StrIndexOf(url,":",0)
'Msgbox(url & " = " & urltype)
If urlType=-1 OR urlType=5 Then
    url=ValidateURL(url)
    CheckWikiFile(url)
    HtmStr=ReadWikiFile(url)
    'Msgbox(HtmStr)
    addHistory(url)
    currentpage=url
    textbox1.Text=HtmStr
    Refreshweb
Else
     url=StrReplace(url,"%2F","/")
    
    Shell(url)
End If


End Sub

This will update the wiki from version .38 to .381
