Garvin:

I bought the book, but didn't realize it is in German. Is there an English version? Can we trade mine for the English somehow?

Thanks,
John

Unfortunately, there is no English version of Garvin's book.

YL

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Oh, um... ok, thanks.

John - as Yellowled said, there is not yet an English version of this book. This forum is pretty helpful, so never hesitate to ask anything you need. Leave the German book on your desk at work, school, or home... make people think you are a German expert! They will be impressed!!!

Seriously, I am certain everyone here will do what they can to help you out as needed!

Hey Don,

Thanks for the offer and the advice (priceless!!). I do ask plenty of questions here, my problem is that I have not been able to find any kind of api or even list of variables available in a template file that I can use. I wanted the book because I'd hoped it covers that, as well as programming plugins for s9y and other neat stuff. It would be helpful to me if someone would make a tutorial as to how to program/create a template for s9y, and what variables are available for use from within a template.

I have checked the online documentation, but the link that I think I need is broken (I can't remember which right now), so I'm kind of stuck. I ask questions, but I can't help myself, and I can't learn to help myself with the system.

So..., there's my complaint. I'll be asking questions here, I'm sure, but I would really like to be able to help myself with stuff.

Thanks,
John

Hi!

I'm really sorry about you being stuck with that german book.

Did you have a look at http://www.s9y.org/102.html ? It should cover actually most variables. If there are specific variables that you're missing please feel free to ask, so that we can add them to the documentation!

HTH and best regards,
Garvin

Well, perhaps not an english one..., but will there be a revised edition in german soon?
