Hi All,
I recently started a new project and tied myself in knots with file names, etc so sat back and devised the following aid to ongoing documentation.
Code:
application
...
images/ /* new directory */
ZZZ/ /* new directory */
...
Get_dirs.bat /* the batch file to generate ZZZ_DIRS.PHP */
ci_system
In my latest project I created the following Get_dirs.bat
Code:
cd controllers
echo Controllers.dir > ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
echo =============== >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
dir *.php /b >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
echo ...
cd..
cd images
echo Images.jpg >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
echo ========== >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
dir *.jpg /b >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
echo ...
cd..
cd Views
echo Views.dir >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
echo ========= >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
dir *.php /b >> ../ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP
echo ...
cd..
The generated ./ZZZ/ZZZ_DIRS.PHP file:
Code:
Controllers.dir
===============
docs.php
hire.php
home.php
Images.jpg
==========
bg_300x60.jpg
bg_340x1.jpg
bg_600x200.jpg
bg_606x63.jpg
...
...
Views.dir
=========
hire.php
home.php
__com_analytics.php
__com_footer.php
__com_head.php
__com_menu_left.php
__com_pic_msg.php
__com_title.php
__hire_both.php
__hire_box.php
__hire_cyclecarrier.php
__hire_dates.php
__hire_delivery.php
__hire_form.php
__hire_roofrack.php
__home_products.php
This generated ZZZ_DIRS file helped me to produce the following layout
Code:
<?php /* layout.php */ ?>
<div style='width:800px; margin:3em auto'>
<pre>
hire.php // template with following included files
// common files
__com_head.php // <head>...</head>
__com_title.php // top right hand title, logo, address
__com_pic_msg.php // picture & message changes
// products - one of following selected from home.page
__hire_both.php //
__hire_box.php //
__hire_cyclecarrier.php //
__hire_roofrack.php //
__hire_dates.php // Step 1: for all products
__hire_delivery.php // Step 2: for all products
__com_menu_left.php // links to hire bixes, both, roof rack, etc
__com_footer.php // awaiting details
__com_analytics.php // to setup
======================//==================================
home.php //
// common files
__com_head.php // <head>...</head>
__com_title.php // top right hand title, logo, address
__com_pic_msg.php // picture & message changes
__home_products.php // thumbnails and product details
__com_menu_left.php // links to hire bixes, both, roof rack, etc
__com_footer.php // awaiting details
__com_analytics.php // to setup
======================//==================================
docs.php
// maybe an include file for each once info available
__terms.php
__faqs.php
__privacy.php
__sitemap.php
__links.php
======================//==================================
// ZZZ - Debug Development Stuff
../images/home.jpg
../images/rent.jpg
../views/ZZZ_DOCS.php
../ZZZ/KILL.PHP
</pre>
</div>
and just to round it off I now have an anchor to the ZZZ_DIRS file on the home page which will hopefully aid in development.
Any suggestions for improvement will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John_Betong
