Management Charles Posted September 22, 2006 Management Share Posted September 22, 2006 Anyone downloaded the new documentation in the 2.2 public beta 1 announcement? Wanted to see what you thought.Documentation has always been one of our weak areas and we put some effort into them and hope you like the new documenation. You might notice the version that is up there is a little out of date because we're still tweaking the beta series. We will of course update it.We are also working on Developer Documentation to go into detail on the components, RSS, login manager, ipsclass, etc. for developers.

sully Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Nope. I never read documentation till I ###### something up :PIll take a gawk now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dll Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I haven't downloaded this yet, but the fact you have gone to the effort of doing it is a massive step forward :)Please make sure you follow it through though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Looks very good so far (still flipping through it).Would really like to see an online format with search functionality, a category structure, and such, PDF is ok for now though.

elj Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Just had a quick glance through now, it looks very extensive and the addition of screenshots looks really helpful. :D However, I wouldn't want to print that. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 To be honest, I didn't even read the announcement! I shall have a looksie now though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used up a full ink cartridge, 250 pages. I'm sure you can handle the IPB Dev Docs ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Okay, I just skimmed over the PDF quickly and it looks very good. Only thing I'd note though is that the screenshots all need to be brought up to date with the current version. There's some using the skin from the IPB 2.0 "PF" releases, and the RTE shots are from 2.1.I'd assume that's already planned, though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Barrie Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We'll have a printed and bound version you can buy which we will ship to you. Obviously we can get a bulk printing discount :)So roughly how much do you estimate? Pretty much Free+Postage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, I know Keith)So roughly how much do you estimate? Pretty much Free+Postage?Just to cover cost of printing and postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Charles Posted September 22, 2006 Management Share Posted September 22, 2006 Keith is just overly picky.I mean a screen shot that shows how forums and subforums relate - does it really matter when that was made?Keith says yes, I say no, you say yes, Keith is satisfied.

Michael P Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 The RTE screens are from 2.1 :)Looks impressive, that was the first thing I downloaded, and I had a quick look through it. I hope the developer documentation is as extensive as it :) Well Done :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elemental Crisis Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Very cool I like it, thanks for making it!Also do you have an exact price on how much a printed version would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted September 22, 2006 Management Share Posted September 22, 2006 Very cool I like it, thanks for making it!Also do you have an exact price on how much a printed version would cost?Not until we get a final quote from printing company. Depending on postage costs (it's pretty big) I would guess under $25 maybe even under $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on postage costs (it's pretty big) I would guess under $25 maybe even under $20.And continuing from that... will the printed copy include the developer copy built in? Or will that be a seperate printout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted September 22, 2006 Management Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'm sure we can do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon C Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Having skimmed over it this morning and some now as well, I must say that it is very extensive, and this will be really useful for the both the new and experienced users. :) I will buy a copy of this if it's around $20 for sure, as I much prefer hand copied text over PDF's, and as it's quality work and being released by the same company who developed the software themselves and who wrote it from the ground up, you can guarantee it to be quality. :D Very nice work on this, and the only two things I'd have to say need to be fixed were already mentioned by Dan and Logan (online documentation with search functionality and update on all pictures to 2.2)!

Mat Barrie Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'm sure we can do both.I assume we can expect that the documentation will integrate into the Help and Support tab of the AdminCP? Or am I asking for something new to happen here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
