Block Documentation

Permalink
Hello All,
Too my utmost annoyance I have noticed that the documentation for the C5 block system is lacking if present at all. Is there currently anyone who is working on this? I am in the process of evaluating C5 for a large scale project and this seems to be the only drawback. I am thinking of attempting to document this myself unless anyone else has something in the works?

yeah there's a few pages in the docs section that are very sadly empty

we're trying to get content in there, but its always that time tradeoff..

if you want/can document that stuff we'd love to post it with credit to you,

Yeah, what is there is here:

http://www.concrete5.org/help/documentation/developers/understandin...

I'd like to turn the second link on that page into a screencast at some point soon, but like Franz says, the time sadly never seems to be there.

Yeah I'm a fan of screencasts when used appropriately. What I am trying to get done is a clear and simple introduction and explanation of the C5 Block system and maybe a couple of different types. Simply looking at the core blocks as was initially suggested to me just isn't good enough :)

I have a better document on block's and their construction written up that I just need to reformat. But alas I don't even know where I am supposed to submit this stuff too.

As a side note: Is there anyone that can give me a little insight as to the package interface. I've already figured out how to do the basic package skeleton (very simular to a block) however I drew the conclusion that you must manually install the blocks yourself by overriding the install() method in the package class. however it does not want to work!
BlockType::installBlockTypeFromPackage("bt". $block,$this,0);
