Omnimaga is proud to announce the opening of a new website section that some people have been waiting for a while: a tutorials section (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=articles;cat=11)!
This section will include various tutorials that people posted on the forums in the past, present or future. It will also eventually be possible for users to directly submit tutorials themselves in the future, in BBCode, HTML or text format.
The way most tutorials currently included works is that they simply contain a PHP code that fetches the content of the first post of a specific topic on the forums and displays it there, including a link to the topic in question. Due to the scripts limitations, however, it is not possible to fetch the content of replies to a topic, so tutorials that were posted in reply to topics have their entire content included, instead of a PHP script that parses it. The PHP script, however, makes it much easier for both administrators to add new tutorials or for their authors to update them, as if they update their forum topic, it automatically updates the copy in the tutorials section. Each tutorial title is prefixed by the author name.
When a tutorial is added there, a discussion topic will be created if it doesn't already exist.
For now, we included as much tutorials as we could find for the TI-83 Plus (Axe Parser, TI-BASIC and Z80 assembly) and for general programming concepts or calculator support, but a lot more will be added in the future and feel free to PM me if you got any other calculator-related tutorials you want included, with a link to it. And remember: If you need help on those tutorials or other help, never hesitate to ask on the forums (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=99.0)!

It's awesome! Having them all in one place is a great idea. And I love how it's BBCode-friendly -- no need to redo the entire thing in HTML.
-
This is great! Thanks DJ! :D
-
I didn't get how it gets tutorials, one of my tutorials wasn't added (Axe Physics Introduction one).
Either way, this is great and I really like it! Thanks

DJ split tutorial posts into new topics, linked to them in the tutorials section, and it got parsed automatically. He probably just forgot about that one.

/me wonders if it will include common q/a, ie how to use TiLP and things like that...or just a link to ticalc.org's "basics" section
-
I think it's for user-contributed tutorials ... not sure though.
-
I like it. :D
especially since newer members don't need to find that list of tutorial thread first. ;)
-
Awesome! So how do I go about adding mine?
-
Amazing!
Will there be a "nSpire BASIC" section?
-
Awesome! So how do I go about adding mine?
You really need to put yours up ^^

Lol, indeed ;D

I wonder if TI-Freakware is planning to link to all of these. I can see the tutorials section exploding in a matter of days...

I think it was not listed in Meishe's topic. I only added the ones there for now since I didn't have time to check the forums much. You would need to post the link here if you want it added.Awesome! So how do I go about adding mine?
You need to provide me HTML versions or every page, so I can put them online on the server. PDF format is out of the question, sadly.
-
Wow, its already filled with tutorials!
Also, I have a question: is there any chance that you can link to tutorials on other sites? This way, if you have a tutorial on lets say inspired-lua.org, new users will be able to find it here in the tutorial section.
Just a thought :)

Just noticed: the Axe tutorials section is huge :o If we could get an Axe wiki going it'd be massive.
-
What about a section for non-calc related tutorials? Like general math, physics, etc.
-
Only game-programming oriented tutorials and general stuff like sending files to the calc, because I would prefer that the Omnimaga stuff for download remains exclusive to that kind of stuff. Sorry.
