Glad you mentioned that. I've gotten a name as one who hates commercial code but that's not true. I was just never talented enough to make a living at it (trust me I would have preferred a mouse over a hammer ). Submitting my code as wide open source I hope any of our commercial users see that as my trying to prove I bear them no ill will.

Oh I don't know I think you do have enough talent to make a living coding. I don't know if you have the patience for it though... It's been my experience that people don't communicate what they want well and get upset when you deliver what you think they want. I still make this mistake and it's frustrating.

I'm redoing my main site layout to be 150 pixels less in width and will be dropping my external banner loader from the main. I will handle weblinks and banners as a module instead. Once again I do not wish to waste the coding so I'll submit it to the Exchange. I should have it sliced out soon for submission.

I actually have two versions (XML and SQL) but the XML would be a faster submit for now. I'll revisit it after the fact and add the SQL version.

I stayed up late last night and got myTextEditor sliced out as a standalone. I'm throwing together a rudimentary help guide for the Editor buttons (Wilberts contentpane to the rescue again!) and I'll have it packaged tonight. This submission probobly means the most to me of all I've submitted so far. It's possibilities for repurposing are endless.

I had the foresight to code it as either a standalone or as a child of another movie (cuz I know that's what it will be ) so users won't have any issues pulling it into something larger.

What is the upload size limit at the Exchange? I have some large files coming that with source and the needed ancillary files for the movie, help guides and php backends will make for some larger zip sizes. I'm embedding the html guides in one of Wilberts panes for this texteditor package but have it onload the graphics for each guide section from a subdirectory. This subdirectory will be a part of the package so users can manipulate my help guides to reflect personal taste and also repurposed as a guide for their users using the editor in whatever they tie it to.

I don't know the exact size of my zip yet (halfway through building the help guide) but want to know the target limit for Exchange ZIPS. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I'm asking because almost all of my full packages will have to include visual guides. Commented code won't help users much and things like the forum will be extensive and pretty much require me to create guides for them.

Total development time:

31 hours for the building and testing of the editor and backend

Here is a preview of the package:

I inadvertantly moved the .fun file from the _root of the directory in the package to the subfolder "source" . I have to either upload a new one with it in the root dir or ask an admin to move it there while testing the package. Otherwise there will be path errors for the button images when users edit it.

I've been up 23 hours straight and not thinking too clearly...sorry in advance.
