| 1 | Adding a new app/screenshot to the wxWidgets.org front page |
| 2 | ===================================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | To add a new app/screenshot to the front page, you first will need to have the |
| 5 | following: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | 1. The application Name |
| 8 | 2. A URL for the application |
| 9 | 3. A series of screenshots for the app |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Each screenshot should have a 300 pixel width. A height around 225 pixels is |
| 12 | preferred, but it's more important to keep the aspect ratio of the screenshot. |
| 13 | Screenshot format is not important, but the important thing is to use the format |
| 14 | that gives you the best ratio of picture compression and size. Also, please |
| 15 | make sure the screenshots all have the app name in them. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Once you have the screenshots and info ready, take the following steps to |
| 18 | update the web site: |
| 19 | |
| 20 | 1) Put the screenshots in <wxWebSite root>/site-v2/images/front_screens |
| 21 | |
| 22 | 2) Open <wxWebSite root>/site-v2/index.php |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 3) Look for the "$apps = array();" line. Below it will be a series of items, |
| 25 | which are the data used for each app shown in the front page screenshots. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Add a new line at the bottom, with the following format: |
| 28 | |
| 29 | $apps[] = array(appname, appurl, array(screenshot1, screenshot2, ...)); |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The screenshot1, etc. filenames should not have any path to them. They should |
| 32 | just be the filename. The actual shown screenshot is chosen at random from |
| 33 | the list of screenshots, so order, etc. doesn't matter. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Once you've done this, the new app w/screenshots should appear on the front page! |
