AggrorJorn Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 @ Josh Okay I am confused about where to place tutorials. What If I have a tutorial existing out of video, a zip, a pdf and some text for inside the tutorial page? Shoould It go to --> Asset Store --> Tutorials? if so then what do I do with a textual article/tutorial that isrelated to a tutorial with video? Do I put that with assest store tutorials or with articles? Also, some video tutorials are also placed in the "video section" of the community. Could you please clarify how you want this to work?

Canardia Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Put them under Support/Documentation/Tutorials. Quote ■ Ryzen 9 ■ RX 6800M ■ 16GB ■ XF8 ■ Windows 11 ■ ■ Ultra ■ LE 2.5 ■ 3DWS 5.6 ■ Reaper ■ C/C++ ■ C# ■ Fortran 2008 ■ Story ■ ■ Homepage: https://canardia.com ■
AggrorJorn Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Josh told me those are official tutorials. Quote
Canardia Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Yay, so my tutorials are official too! Thanks Josh EDIT: Ah, nevermind, it seems the last CSS update has destroyed 50% of the content and functionality. Like always, but I'm getting used to it, so I host my tutorials on my own web server. Before the last CSS update, there were Community Tutorials under Documentation, but now they are all gone.

Josh Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I don't want the articles section to be a list of download links. I recommend pasting the contents of your article in the text field. You can also add up to three videos and they will appear on the first page of your article in an attractive format.

AggrorJorn Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 What is the difference between an article and a tutorial (from the asset store) then? Quote
Josh Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I just put the tutorial section up to prevent people from posting PDFs in the articles. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
AggrorJorn Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Oh wait, I think I got my way of thinking wrong. A tutorial can be made as an article, but that article can refer to a download which is the tutorial section from the asset Store! correct me if I am wrong. Quote
Josh Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I generally prefer tutorials to be self-contained and not link to external resources that may become dead links in the future. You can attach a zip file in the article contents itself. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
AggrorJorn Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 I understand. But what should people put in the Asset Store --> tutorials, if articles have the exact same options. Quote
Josh Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Preferably nothing. This is an example of what it looks like when you specify a video ID in the article: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/articles/_/business/interview-with-michael-betke-of-pure3d-r85 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
Canardia Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 You should allow raw HTML coding in tutorials, using GUI stuff usually makes things much harder to use. Like for example right now, I have no idea where I would put tutorials, but I know how to setup an Linux Apache server and put PHP and HTML pages on it. I mean how hard can GUI stuff really be compared to starting from scratch.

AggrorJorn Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Preferably nothing. What is the point of having that category then? I am sorry to bother you with this. But I really don't understand the structure. I can't be the only one. For now I will make an article with video content. Here is my last question. Where should I put the download for the source code? In the asset store (the article links to the asset store) or in the article itself? Quote

AggrorJorn Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Okay, thanks for clearing that up. Case closed. Quote
Naughty Alien Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 ..it should be tutorial section for corresponding languages so people can upload there..considering that thread for simple question 'where to put tutorial', getting very long and complicated in description, pointing out that whole thing is messy...seriously..

Josh Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 In the near future we will gain the ability to add tags to articles, so the language can be specified with a tag. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
