Sebkinne Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hey everyone, A feature which we wanted to build into the pineapple for some time is an easy way to create modules. Currently creating modules is complicated and simply a hassle and may scare of people with great ideas. This is why the Bartender was born! Rather than making it part of the current firmware the Bartender feature will be released as a module to enable faster updates if the module system changes. One thing though, updating the module will cause a loss of all your created projects, so make sure to back these up. This will be addressed in the next module update. Just remember, this is just a basic module creator, in the future it will: Allow code upload. Direct module submission from your pineapple. Projects persistent through a Bartender update. Quite a lot more. To use the Bartender, simply download the module and follow the instructions there. Please leave any feedback, comments or suggestions here. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I can't begin to express how happy I am with the latest developments. From where we were a year ago to now is astounding, and this module is a catalyst for even greater things to come. Mad props to Sebastian!

Dazzle Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Great work, although I might prefer to code manually I'll definitely have a look into this. Good job on giving more people an opportunity to contribute to this project! Edited July 3, 2012 by Dazzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on giving more people an opportunity to contribute to this project! You have to code manually anyway, the bartender will not code for you. Though, it will include things such as building in the CSS etc at a later stage. Way later. This module allows you to manage, and pack your infusions. You would be surprised by the number of small mistakes one can make that will render the modules useless. The Bartender just puts your code into the format it should be ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Master Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 This module allows you to manage, and pack your infusions.

The Bartender just puts your code into the format it should be ;) Should I take it personally :P ? No, seriously, very nice idea ! I have one question though: does it means that modules should now only be developed and packed with Bartender ? What about previous modules ? Do they need to be repacked through Bartender ?

No, not personal at all! To make it easier on yourself, use bartender. Nothing needs to be changed with the previous versions at all :) If you would rather do it yourself that is fine too, but at a later point modules will only be submitable through the bartender.

plazmatron Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 That is amazing! Ever since I got my Pineapple a few days back, I have been trying to find out how to create my own little modules, and this sounds truly excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineDominator Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 hey Seb I am trying to add my latest blacklister v2.3. not sure if the files go in with the module.conf or /blacklister/? both ways give me an ftp web page to the directory when trying to launch? I tried installing to internal and usb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bartender will automatically move files around for you. I will make the instructions more clean in the next update. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! that's what i did but when I hit launch it just links to the folder with a listing of the files? I made sure to set blacklister.php as the start page in the bartender module. maybe It is linking to index.php and not the name provided in the module.conf?

It will just show you your directory as it doesn't parse the modules.conf file yet. I WILL get to that though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
