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: [Hide]

   Code: [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.
