Great idea Justin. Will give it a look when I get chance. Not updated my version for a while now, mainly due to the fact it's engine building season for me.

I just signed up. I'm new to all of this is flashing stuff though.

09GraySilverBusa · Member

That's a much needed effort

stocker · Guru

what is flashing.....?....lol biggrin

jkwool · Guru

Cool, first couple of users :) Once we get a bit of content in there i will link it from the ecueditor.com web site and from within the software.

I also find it´s a good idea.

Thanks, Justin

Justin I started working on something along these lines quite some time ago, but it never got off the ground. There is a preliminary file located here:
https://bitbucket.org/sportbikeryder/ecueditor_docs/downloads/Fuel_Mapping_Overview_1-25-2010.ppt

Just a crude start really and for a gen1.

jkwool · Guru

ok great that looks like a good starting point John, we should probably set up pages for gen 1, gen 2, b-king and gixxer, there should be a fair bit of cross over but each of these models has some differences.

jkwool · Guru

I have made a good start on the Main form and menu items in the ecueditor.com help wiki http://www.woolichracing.com/ecueditor_help/MainForm.ashx

Is this format pretty easy to follow?

jkwool · Guru

I made some more progress this morning, i have added help content for the main form menu items, and i have set up model specific sections to store help content specific to

Hayabusa Gen 1
Hayabusa Gen 2
GSX-R
B-King

as all of these models have different forms and functionality available in the software.

jkwool · Guru

So the plan is to add common help in the one place and add model specific help in the relevant section. You can see the Common Help and Model specific section in the left hand side menu.

Here's a couple of my marked up/highlighted screen shots for the site if you want to use them. I can email you the full size images if you want them.

I have changed the colors for the help site, and thanks for the images, i will see if i can use them ;)

Good move Jason, excellent initiative

Tip for making screenshots / images for use in documentation:

click the header bar of the window you wish to take a screenshot of.
Press Ctrl + Alt + PrntScrn

This will copy only the window that is selected to the clipboard. Open an image editor (paint, powerpoint, etc) and past the image.

jkwool · Guru

good tip John :)

i use this free program for editing the images http://www.getpaint.net/ works really well and is good for highlighting sections of the screenshots etc.

jkwool · Guru

I added a bunch more content to the ecueditor.com online help, I have fleshed out the structure of the pages as well, will probably add some tutorials after i have finished help pages for all the screens

Not really sure how to contribute to this Justin. I was going to look into a few pages, and I suppose I could just start typing, but there is no way to know what others are working on or what is really on at all??

John

jkwool · Guru

Hi John, what would be really cool would be some hands on tutorials from really experienced guys like yourself to assist people to getting up to speed with common tasks like tuning fuel maps or setting up for turbo and nitrous applications etc.

I dont mind finishing off the core help screen pages as i am on a bit of a roll at the moment with them.

I can set up a tutorials section tonight if you like?

Cheers
-Justin.

jkwool · Guru

I have set up a tutorials section http://www.woolichracing.com/ecueditor_help/Tutorials.Default.aspx

Its really easy to create new pages,

edit the main page where you want to reference the new page from
to add a link to the new page surround the page name with square brackets i.e. [New Page Name]
Save the page
The link to the new page will appear in red
Click the new page link and select the "create the page" link
the new page will be created and shown ready for you to edit and add new content.

Cheers

-Justin.

i have turned moderation on so dont be afraid of having a go, if you have problems or stuff a page up I can just dismiss the change and it will not be made available ;)

sportbikeryder · Guru

I have a fair amount of travel to do next week. I should have some free time in the evenings though, I'll take a look.

So far it looks pretty good Justin. A bit difficult to navigate, but I think that will get better with time as more info is filled in and it will flow a bit better.

This should help to reduce the basic questions quite a bit.

Let me know if you have any ideas on how to improve the navigation to make it easier to find stuff

Hey Justin, is this Still a Priority? Are You still needing Folks to do some Pages with this Wiki EE Help Site?

ToXSicK RoCKeT · Senior Member

Trying to Write a Section on the Gen2 Nitrous Control Feature but can't seem to get My Screen Shot to load over to the Help Section??? confuse

Using "Snagit 10" Program, Converting the Screen shot to a .jpg File, Saving it to My Pic's. I can find the File through the Help Site, But when I hit upload it does Nothing? Does anyone have any idea's?

It seems to be an issue when trying to upload the Screen Shot into the Help Site/Program?

jkwool · Guru

Thanks J, But I don't know what the H3ll i'm doing Wrong, The Pic is only 49.8KB in Size? It says you can upload up to a 10.0Mb file?? When I select My Screen Shot in the Bottom of the Page that I'm working on....... Nothing Happens, At All! I'm Completely Stumped on this???

jkwool · Guru

Its pretty straight forward,

upload an image as a page attachment
click the insert an image button
check the "Browse Page Attachments" checkbox
Click on the image you would like to insert into the page

Thanks J, where I'm getting lost is How do I get My Image into the "Load Page Attachments"? Is there a Certain Place in the Help Site I am Supposed to upload My Screen Shots to? When I Click on Load Page Attachments...... Nothing comes up. confuse

I am Pretty Sure it's Just a Pretty Dumb, SIMPLE Step I'm Over looking! I'm just trying to get the Hang of this, as I've not done this stuff before but am willing to learn and Help out if Possible? smile

jkwool · Guru

Hi Phil,

I appreciate your effort, what computer, operating system and browser are you using?

Cheers

-Justin.

ToXSicK RoCKeT · Senior Member

No Problem Justin, It's the LEAST I can Do!

I am on a Gateway Laptop, Window's XP, Google Browser.

I am Using "Snagit10" Software(Freeware) to get My Screen Shot's. Still trying to get used to it(Kinda Confuses Me)? Whats the Best Way/File to Export the Picture in? (ie. PDF, Jpeg, Ect) Do you think I should be using something different?

Thanks for the Help.
