Patch sharing

[ooo]

Hi,

I'm new to Usine and find it very interesting. I've downloaded it a week ago and began to play with it a little. It seems that because of its modular nature you can do very complex and cool thing that perfectly meets your needs. You just create a patch for every single functionality you find useful. But, is there a place where one can share freely his patches to others ? I've searched the forums but can't find a clear answer to this question. It's seem that the add-ons section is a kind of official distribution of advanced patches but is reserved to gold members.

Thanks !

Hi ooo,
The add-ons section seems to be what you are looking for. Nothing official or advanced there, the proof is I'm a very basic user of Usine but I've published a patch there.
About the accessibility for non gold members, I can't tell you the reason of this choice but I remember it's been discussed with Olivier in a(n old) thread and approved by the community.

Thanks for the reply, La Tenaille.

In fact, the add-ons section is not what I'm looking for. I search a place were I can give a patch for *free* to *any* user, even non gold member. If I put the patch on the add-on section, a free user will have to pay something to access it even if I wanted to give it away for free (à la "open source" spirit).

Perhaps the place I'm looking for is the "uploader section" ?

Well I'll be - never noticed that there was a few patches in the uploader section...
The add-ons is where most users post their patches, but it seems the uploader would suit your purposes - what's the official word on this Senso?

[senso]

yes the uploader is the right place.

[ooo]

Thanks!

dont forget the wiki page! It will give a better visibility to your patches.

What is the correct way to create a patch wiki page?

I created a page with this name http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php ... :users:ooo
I created a page with this name http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php ... o:my_patch
I have upload the .pat file (empty for now, it's just for testing the wiki).
I added the link to the uploaded .pat file in the "my_patch" page above.

Am I correct?

I am not sure because the page http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php ... al:modules shows two "ooo" links in the "User Modules" section...

And I suspect that the download link has to be not in the manual wiki page (user's page is a better place?).

yes, a little problem here..
you have to click on your user name and use the "create this page " button :
http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php?id=users:ooo
upload your patch using the uploader link of the forum and copy this link in your page...

[ooo]

Ok. I've moved the download link to my page and removed it from the manual page.

But the first problem is not solved:
"the page http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php ... ules:users shows two "ooo" links"

I suspect that this problem comes from the fact that i added a second hierarchy level (modules:users:ooo:my_patch). When I remove the "ooo:my_patch" page the problem is solved... Perhaps it is a bug in the "alphaindex" wiki macro?

[ooo]

you have to click on your user name and use the "create this page " button :
http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php?id=users:ooo...

I have a problem with the wiki: for me the "create this page" button and the "edit" button never appear. The only "edit" button I have, is the one for the index frame on the left.

[nay-seven]

that's seems strange....except if simple member can't edit wiki..i must admit i don't know..
I've to test..
btw , I've delete all your old entries..in modules:users:

[nay-seven]

in fact , it's the reason,:
member can't edit the wiki..( spam protection )
so we have to find an alternative way...

btw , I've delete the tips you give in your post to edit , i suppose you'll understand..

I'll let you know if we find a solution..

[ooo]

No problem.
