Icy Phoenix

Hi all.
I have created ModX diff renderer to easily create code changes packages.

Original Discussion here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=804975

My instructions: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=5162335#p5162335

Download: http://www.icyphoenix.com/_release/...dx_20080417.zip

To use it you have to:

1. Download and unpack this ZIP into your site or your local testing environment.
   
2. CHMOD to 0777 the folder where modx_file.php is, otherwise you won't be able to create the XML output file.
   
3. Create two folders to be compared: one with the original files and one with the changed files.
   
4. Open and edit this part of modx_file.php to correctly set the path of the previously created folders:
   
   Code: [Download] [Hide]

   Code: [Download] [Show]

   1. $original_path = '../_diff/bp128/';  
   2. $working_path = '../_diff/bp129/';  
   3. $modx_file = 'install.xml'; 
   
   
5. Open and edit modx_template_header.php adding description of your mod and your datas.
   
6. Launch in your browser modx_file.php.
   
7. The XML file will be created in the same folder where you have modx_file.php.

Currently it doesn't add new files to be copied... but may be easily added.


Special thanks to evil<3 for having started and created this.

At the risk of sounding like the stupid idiot I am... do you need subversion for this?

No, this script is standalone... you don't need SVN to run it. You have only to follow instructions. ;)

You may also be interested in this which is much more automated:

But this is based on phpBB 3... maybe someone will find the time to adapt to Icy Phoenix boards... and that would be great for developing and updating boards. :wink:
