Important: your setting search contributions!

Important: Post has been edited - you may now upload your files directly to the archive from your hard drive.

(You'll find an almost exact copy of this in the Story Hour forum).

In order to ease my workload a little, I've installed something called PostNuke. It's a generic website application used by a lot of websites these days (you'll find it looks familiar!).

The important part is that it has several self-contained automated systems - including a file archive system.

I've created a few categories for the various types of resource to be found at EN World. One of these, of course, is the archived Setting Searches.

Instructions For Use

You'll find the page in question here: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/news...e=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=2

1) Click on "Add download"

2) Fill in the boxes in the following way (for consistency's sake):

Program name: The name of your setting.

File link: Browse to the file on your desktop/hard drive.

Description: Put your Core Ethos Sentence here.

Author's name: Your name or username.

Author's email: Your email address.

Version: Probably 1, unless you are updating a file.

Homepage: May or may not be relevant.

Any questions, just yell!

Do we need to do that if we already sent it in to you and got the "thanks" message? Where can we look at the entries already posted?

Thanks!

Uhm... I can't see any "Add Download" there.

 

[Morrus]

Yeah, I'd appreciate it if each person would do that even if theirs is already posted on the other page. I'll delete that page when they're all done.

The original page is: http://www.enworld.org/settings.htm

I still have over 50 left to do, and I'm not getting anywhere fast - so if each author does their own it'll help me out a lot!

I think you need to register first - new software, I'm not very familiar with it yet!

Okay, it works.

Russ,

Is this for the setting contest, or just general public posting of the setting contributions? Thanks!

 

[Morrus]

Just an archive for the setting proposals that didn't make it through - nothing to do with the EN World setting search.

Whose is the Xanalon setting? I have three identical entries for it pending approval, but none of them contain a link to a file. Two contain links to web pages (threads on these boards) and one has no link at all.

The "File Link" must point to a file - otherwise the system will tyr and upload something and it won't be there!

If you've uploaded your file to a thread, don't put the thread URL in the box for "File link" - it can't upload a thread. You need to put the URL of the actual file which you have uploaded to that thread.

Heh. We now have a setting cargo space thread in Meta.
