I think having some short tutorials on the fundamentals would help: - How to create custom types - The best way(s) to read data (e.g. getMultiple vs getMultipleByQuery vs getData?) - How to create and save data programmatically - Little-known shortcuts
And then some more advanced perhaps: - Customising administration (layout, style, nav etc) - Creating a website from scratch - Integration with external systems (eg. LDAP, Web Services) I guess anyone could fill in the blanks given a good foundation. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of modius Sent: Tuesday, 29 April 2008 9:22 AM To: farcry-dev Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: FarCry Mini Video Tutorials On Apr 28, 9:51 pm, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How about a video tutorial on how to import existing dynamic websites into > Farcry? I have a website with well above 7000 news (categorised). That might be more than a few minutes :) But in essence you create a content type or identify the content type you are migrating to. Then you run a query to gather all your legacy data, loop over a .cfm template that converts the row into a struct and runs createData() on your content type. > And another tutorial on how to install Farcrypicnik plugin?
