Hey guys check out this new feature I want to install on LAVA. Let me know what you think. LAVA Forums team tool

Ya, this video was created to Promote NI's FIRST involvement. The High School students loved it.

QUOTE (mross @ Apr 23 2008, 02:10 PM) Ya, I agree. Coming. In the meantime, I'm glad to see you figured it out. I already downloaded your code.

QUOTE (mross @ Apr 23 2008, 11:02 AM) This is evolving. Not sure about the final form. The lavacr project on Google code is there to provide source code control. This is the same as sourceforge, but LAVA likes Google code better. Are you familiar with SVN? SVN is a source code control backend. In order to edit and put code into SVN, you need a client. On the Windows platform, the best one out there is Tortoise SVN. TortoiseSVN needs to know the URL to point to the source folder. This is provided here. Then, once you have your local copy of the code checked out, you can then edit the code and commit back. I can go into more detail if you like but there is an assumption that you are familiar with SVN and using source code repositories. Ask a question and I will try to answer. Google code provides issue trackers which we can use for specific bugs or feature requests on the code. I think that's fine however discussions on the new features or the code in general should happen on the LAVA forums because there are more eyes over here. Edit: One addition thing to mention. If you just want to add code. At a minimum, you should tell someone about it. I think starting a thread on the forums with something like: "hey, I just added some 7.1 code under a folder called joe's code" what do y'all think, etc...". Hopefully it will be a little more than that but you get the idea. Otherwise, noone will know it exists.

Upgrade to the latest flash player. It's currently at version 9. Here's the link: Upgrade to latest flash

We've just redefined LAVA...

QUOTE (Gavin Burnell @ Apr 22 2008, 12:05 PM) I don't think LV bugfix releases should be included. Mainly because bugfixes are supported by the major.minor released run-time engine. The revisions should be in the form: 7.0.x, 7.1.x, 8.0.x, 8.2.x, 8.5.x. BTW Gavin, it's great to see your initiative in this! Gavin, I've moved your code into the 8.5.x folder and created additional folders for the other LV versions.

There are many ways to do what you want without adding yet another feature to the forums. Try opening a gmail account. Use that for the forums. Then you can use it at home. You can then setup your gmail to forward copies of your LAVA mail to your work account with a filter.

QUOTE (Gavin Burnell @ Apr 21 2008, 01:53 PM) Perhaps we should create folders at a higher level that break down the code based on LV version. I was thinking of doing this for the LAVA CR downloads but it is less important than during code development, since the LV version is indicated on the download page.

Does anyone know of a good SVN client tool that behaves the same way or is similar to tortoise SVN on Windows but for the Mac?

Note, when requesting access via PM, please tell me your email address you are using with your Google account. This is all I really need to add you.

Just trying out Google Code to see if it fits with us here on LAVA. There were some desires to support a LAVA SVN repository for code development. See here for more details and to discuss. LAVACR on Google Code

As an experiment, I've created an account on Google Code where those interested parties can collaborate on code discussed in the Code Repository In-Development Forum. The lavacr project is here. If you give me your Google email address in a PM then I can add you as a project member. Google Code supports SVN. There is currently no source code in there. Feel free to grab any code from LAVA or new code and put it in there. Let's see where this thing goes. I'd like to keep discussions on the code on LAVA.

QUOTE (Yen @ Apr 18 2008, 03:03 AM) Actually, Israel has a large presence here in the Atlanta finals. I've seen at least 4 teams from there. I suggest you locate the local teams in your area and become a mentor. That's the best start.

Is this a problem with LAVA? If not then can I move it to the lounge?

QUOTE Actually, I'm at the FIRST competition in Atlanta.

This is pretty much what the User Interface forum is for. We also have an XControls category and a User Interface category in the CR. We also have User Interface Portal on the Wiki which includes content on XControls. If anyone has any techniques or ideas to contribute along these lines please use the above mentioned resources to post your content. Especially the Wiki.
