Hey,
I want to add links to all of the help patches in SVN to their respective pdpedia pages. Ideally, I could check these into trunk so that they would become a permanent addition. The problem is that the link object is not included in pd-vanilla ([pddp/pddplink]).
Who does not want this checked into trunk?

I think, this should be decided on an opt-in, not an opt-out basis.
Anyway: I opt out.
Ciao
I really think this should be done by hand, and every pdpedia page has to be fixed together with the help patch (right now all the texts/comments of a help patch were just dumped into the pdpedia pages). then you can give the patches a good layout/design. and there must be relevant additional information on the pdpedia pages for it to make sense to link to the pdpedia pages. pdpedia is not well mentained right now... I would like to see "link" in pd-vanilla. but don't know if that counts, because I also would like to see a lot of other objects in pd-vanilla... marius.

Hi, Maybe an idea would be a help-menu entry that says "go to this patch's page in the Pdpedia", that detects the frontmost window's patch name (this must be possible, since [getpatchname] does it from within Pd). It could filter out the -help.pd part, and then it would work for object helpfiles as well as just open abstractions (and would make it easy to add Pdpedia text to an object, since visiting a nonexistent page in Pdpedia gives you the opportunity to edit it).
I wouldn't mind trying to do this.
Cheers Luke

Sounds like a good idea, and a nice comprimise, definitely give it a shot.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Hey,
Part of the reason of adding the links is to encourage people to start adding more content to the pdpedia. As long as we have the template in place for that object, then I think that it will be worthwhile to have the link on the help patch.
Would you like to lead this up?

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic. It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom

me.
I knew that already ;)
but as i understand luke's proposal it can be done without modifying any help-patch anyhow.
Yes, I think it is a good idea and should be included. I am not sure whether it is a full replacement for having the embedded link in the patch, but I am willing to try.
