sandeep529 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi, I need some testing/feedback about the design, color selections and effectiveness of this self guided demo. http://crxml.pagodabox.com/demo.php I am just wondering if people are able to use this demo. Proof of ownership : http://crxml.pagodabox.com/phpfreaks.txt regards, Sandeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 seems to work, could probably be a little more creative with the design. What is the point of this website exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandeep529 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 What is the point of this website exactly? The page is supposed to demonstrate the capabilities of a php class for manipulating xml strings. There is a field for entering php statements that uses the class. It is a type of self guided tutorial on using some functionality of the class. Instructions are shown in the gray box. Every instruction asks user to enter some statement into the input field. Upon pressing enter, That statement is evaluated via ajax and result is shown in the right box. I need to know if you were able to figure out how to use the demo? Or should I make some changes in layout to make it more usable? Thanks for trying.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 that's what I was thinking it was, a tut. Yes the statements that I enter seem to work fine. This certainly would not be for a complete beginner though obviously. The user would need to already have a mediocre knowledge of at least xml.

sandeep529 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 can I have some feedback on the colors..? You said could probably be a little more creative with the design Can you please provide some directions? I am weak on the design side. :-\ Thanks.

scootstah Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 It would be nice to add a button to automatically enter the commands. I don't want to copy and paste it every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandeep529 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 It would be nice to add a button to automatically enter the commands. I don't want to copy and paste it every time. The point is to involve the user a little so that he becomes a bit familiar with its syntax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 perhaps go a little more in depth with the actual tutorial, maybe explain what exactly the user is doing when they type what the tut tells them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandeep529 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 perhaps go a little more in depth with the actual tutorial, maybe explain what exactly the user is doing when they type what the tut tells them to. The problem is I have blocked constructs like echo and print_r due to security reasons. Now I have moved the statement input box to the top of the instructions so that I can have more contents in the instruction box. Is it better now?
