That was fast and I'm willing to give a try but this
effort will need some organization.
starting with topical headings - like TJ has inserted
with the OLE documentation.
I think Wiki pages should be used for "how to" snippets"
of code - AFL, jScript, Vbasic,
flow control (as in for loops), use of Osaka plug
ins, file operations, some simple work for
the skilled, difficult to learn for the beginner;
maybe since the infor is so dispersed.
Other areas such as how to load multiple databases is
a good one,
how to load multiple copies of Amibroker one beta and the previous beta,
and hopefully an increasing degree of
documentation on the com model.
In area of AFL I thought the most helpful would be "
how to". with a real world example,
like the example below I just
extracted from my Infoselect db.
How did I get to it?
While in the application Infoselect, I Pressed F5(hot
key for search) ,keyed in <Tsokakis> in the window and
I got probably a 100 hits, all by heading (depending on
how well I documented it going in).
How do I use it?
"As is" for an indicator or as a way to see how
one of the masters coded this
in AFL. At times Dimitris's code is so dense I have
trouble working through it.
Now if I wanted to see where the word "breakout" was
used and possibly defined; I do a similar
search.
I got 50 hits on < ribbon> a term for
how I plot ribbons in the Indicator chart.
Hope you gents and ladies don't mind the ramblings but
thought I'd give you a real life example of
how I manage (and I understand one of our neighbors to the
north does the same).
Best regards
JOE

Well,
after looking this over for a few minutes - I fear that
it might be too complicated for our user base as a whole.
If we have people just paste email threads into the site
(this has already happened) then it will be worse than
purebytes.
I fear this is gonna be a mess.

Hello,
I have set-up Wiki page at:
as a tool for this collaborative documentation
project.
For those of you who do not know what is Wiki,
here is a page from Wikipedia (Wiki-based free Encyclopedia):

FAQ / SNIPPETS idea
That would be nice if we can get this off the
ground.
As to publishing others work: If it was posted
on a forum then I think it would be ok (if anyone disagrees now's the time
to speak up). I DO think we should post the date and author just the be
courteous.

ALL:
I'm interested and while no expert I have a
collection of snippets that I've filed on my Infoselect database over
the past 2 years and would be happy to clip and paste those in with some
editing/categorizing, for example as Graham just wrote "how to plot
arrows" or how to draw a signal "ribbon" etc. some very simple stuff
keeps getting asked. I forget how to compose them and have to
clip, paste and modify.
FWIW
There are others on this board who use
Infoselect and other databases to do exactly that, to keep a store of
AFL snippets that can be searched down to the letter. Most of
these snippets are not my original thought and borrowed from the
board. Somehow searching Purebytes is not nearly as productive as
creating your own store.
Then there are others who've moved on but who
left quite a legacy of tight algorithms and indicators.
I can contribute a low level of jScript automation
- the running nightly jobs as I call them - to create
composties, I'd be interested in moving to the next level in
jScripts as well as some realtime
monitoring/alerts/indicators.
Be glad to be a contributor of what I have. I'm
sensitive about publishing others' work and some of the best would be
coming from others.

AmiBroker FAQ / SNIPPETS idea
There have been several attempts to do
such a thing but the interest level is 0 to build it - but very high
to have access to one. But then there are those that are too lazy to
read anything and therefore will just post a question anyway and
someone far more patient than most of us (good old Graham for
instance) will answer that question that's been asked and answered
100's of times.
TJ offered to set up a WikiWiki for
the OLE group several months ago (no other folks were interested so it
died). Maybe he or you could set one up. If so that would allow
a "community" effort (Looks like maybe you and me at this
point).
I'll help but due to the lack of
response of a couple of other attempts I won't lead
it.

Is there an FAQ document
maintained for this group? It seems to me it
would be
*very* useful for this particular group.
Perhaps a "SNIPPETS"
style FAQ where snippets of code are kept with
common "How do
I...?" questions in one large (indexed) document. Such
as
the question above...
I would certainly take a look at this
file before asking my stupid
questions :-) It may help cut back
on some common questions and help
educate new users faster.
It could even be put into the help files of
AmiBroker for each
major release.
The online AFL Library and purebytes.com
archives don't really suit this
purpose I am finding.
Any
volunteers? ;)
Dan.
p.s., in case you don't know -
SNIPPETS was a project whose goal was to
"collect and disseminate
the best C/C++ answers to 'How do I...?'
programming questions"
(started in the old FidoNet BBS days if I
remember correctly -
gee I must be getting old...)
