I have mixed feelings. It's great to have some comments in the code, but because it is somewhat distracting to have the "pod" tags in the file, I typically have the generated HTML sitting on the side when I am editing the file. I can see the advantage to putting the "pod" tags in the file, but when you generate a separate document, it should be written differently from the comments in the code. Would be nice if there was a way to have the best of both worlds, without the extra work. On 23 Jul 2006 0 ...Continue Reading

Hi Justin and all, I vote for leaving it *in* the file. It is part of the documentation, pod's are invented and used for reason, and people wanting to dig deeper into things need it. As an alternative, you can probably deliver a stripped version *and* the full version, call them Config-dist-short.pm and Config-dist-long.pm and have people copy either to Config.pm Personlly, I can't see why it should be difficult to wait with changing until one sees a =cut. People obviously read the file and then *spontaneously* dec ...Continue Reading

Hey guys/gals, I have an idea, I thought I'd first ask you all for an opinion about: Currently, the Config.pm file has embedded documentation, that gets run through a translator, to make pretty HTML files like this: http://mojo.skazat.com/support/documentation/Config.pm.html Here's more information on how/what the embedded docs are/work: http://www.ayni.com/perldoc/perl5.8.0/pod/perlpod.html Some people have voiced that the embedded documentation actually makes reading the Config.pm file *harder*, since it ...Continue Reading

For me, the easiest way to try out a new version (or upgrade for that matter), would be to require less options to be set. Not everything can go into the external config file, and several changes (to paths, for example) need to be changed each time a new version is installed. Typically this means waiting until a stable version is out before doing any upgrade. Any customizations need to be hand-edited in the new version as well. So, I don't tend to upgrade until there are features I'm looking for, or a bug that affects ...Continue Reading

Hello everyone, Just a friendly reminder, that if you find something that's broken in Dada Mail, please report it! Here's the link to the bugtraq for Dada Mail: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13002&atid=113002 I'd appreciate it, if you would log in, using a Sourceforge account whilst submitting a bug, but if this is too much hassle, you can post anonymously, although it helps if you're logged in, because you can see when a bug is fixed, and if I have any follow questions, I can ask, and you have ...Continue Reading

Andreas, FYI, I just have replied to your personal mail through your own address. :^) As far as French translations go, have you seen the French Config.pm documentation? We on FJZone.org translated that piece of documentation a little while ago and are working on some additional pieces to contribute to the Dada Mail community. When they will arrive precisely I can't really say (I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone) but we are hoping to contribute as much as we can in that area. Feedback from other Fre ...Continue Reading

Hey Guys, I'm getting over an eye infection, so I haven't done as much Dada Development as I'd like, but some things getting finished up: * Updated the docs for FCKEditor - which has recently been updated to version 2.3. The current docs work basically, but I played with the php file upload browser connector thingy and got some directions for those as well. * Working on getting Session management to be SQL compatible. Currently, sessions are saved as individual files - these files seem to like to litter ...Continue Reading
