Re: Re: Package Proposal: Pear_Info

OK, I decided to put the package in a table on the credits page in a similar fashion to the Module authors in phpinfo(); (thanks to alan_k for suggesting that). Also changed the grey to a slightly lighter shade, again thanks to alan_k he pointed out the contrast between the original one and the green links isn't good enough. You can see the new credits at: http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.php?credits=true Full PEAR :: Pear_Info() at: http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.php And the source at: http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.phps and http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.txt Comments Welcome - Davey Alan Knowles wrote:

Would you prefer to see the authors in a new row in each packages table,

I thought since it should be available from the package details array it would be easy to add.

of just to have them all listed (organised by package?) in the PEAR Credits Page? I think I'd prefer the latter...

could be done as well.

Also, would a "back" link be desireable to get from the credits to the info again? I didn't add one as phpinfo() hasn't one (I assume for some reason...?) even though I feel it's necessary. (Might file a "feature request" bug on that for phpinfo() :)

I dont think I ever pressed that button on phpinfo :) Regards Alan

+1 It would be nice to add the author(s) - as credits where credits due :) Regards Alan Davey wrote:

I have now updated the info a bit, it now shows a link to the packages info and it also shows the latest version, and provides a link to download it if its newer than the local version. http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.php and http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.phps - Davey Davey wrote:

Hey, Sorry for re-sending this, but I think maybe I broke some sort of protocol by not using this subject line. Either that or nobody likes my idea ;) I've written a small package to generate a phpinfo() type page for PEAR. I've called the Package PEAR_Info but thats obviously up to you to OK. You can view the output here: http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.php and yes, I have all those packages installed, someone thought it was listing all packages available. I want to add some more things to it, such as links to documentation, the lastest version (as opposed to the local one) and uhm, anything else anyone cares to suggest. I have made the output include anchors for each package in the form: pkg_Pkg_Name and it's case sensitive, so pkg_XML_RSS for example. If you wish to see the source, check out http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.phps - may still need a little PEAR coding standards compliancy work. Hope you like. - Davey
