Journal #3393

Whats new in the land of Penguinboy?
this is:its a handy editor for my site, i plan to get rid of the frames and use divs, so i am making a batch editor so if i want to change the sidebar, i just click a button and it changes every .html file with the new changes!
mind you, i have only worked about an hour on it but here is a list of features so far: (more for myself than anyone else really)

-opens the file typed into the file bar at the top 2 different ways
*1 - in full, from the start of the text to the end ('full' button)
*2 - just the body section, saves messy extras (when divs are used)
-opens my template file in 2 ways, same as above
-clear button to clear the display
-preview button opens the html file up in firefox (or whatever)
-close button closes
-save buttons save, whether only the body is opened or the full file.
-browse for folder, file displays separately to the folder

to be coded in:
-save buttons, in part and full for any page and the template
-batch change, changes the bit you have changed in every html in the folder
-browse button

later additions
-sidebar change - opens up just the sidebar code and batch changes the new bits (banner change too)
-add news button - opens a new dialog, enter the news entry, and it adds it to the news page, inderts date and time automatically
-add images/screens - i have 3 screenshot pages for my mod and this will add a number of images to the page, under the 'latest screens' bit and bumps the older screens down
-add page - adds a page, lets youedit and save it, gives you the option to add new page to the sidebar
-etc.

blah blah end.

*NEW UPDATE!
GUI is the same still, but i have coded in the save buttons
'twas tricky, the 'only open the body' scheme was hard to get around, but i managed to get it to save the edited bit and shove it inside the body of the original file.
browse button still isn't coded in.
LATEST BUILD: 399 Lines of code. small but effective.
another update soon!?
