This is the d_source file wizard for the Code::Blocks IDE. This code
implements a "D source" option in the "New File" dialog box that pops up
when you press Ctrl+N in the IDE.
Presently, the wizard.script sets the file to have a comment and license
block that is hard-coded. You can change it by editing the script
(assign the copyright to yourself, please!).
Sadly, the "default code" feature of the Settings > Editor menu is specific
only to C and C++, and requires a recompile of the C::B sources to change.
If you'd like to help, see about making that code more flexible.
== INSTALLATION ==
Reference: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Wizard_scripts
=== Linux ===
In your $HOME directory:
I'm not sure what the exact paths are for Linux home directory scripts. See below
for Locating the $HOME scripts directory.
GOTO Registation
In your SYSTEM install directory:
Install to [CodeBlocks install dir]/share/CodeBlocks/templates/wizard/d_source.
GOTO Registration
=== Windows ===
In your $HOME directory:
Install to %APPDATA%\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\templates\wizard\d_source.
GOTO Registration
In your SYSTEM install directory:
Install to [CodeBlocks install dir]\share\CodeBlocks\templates\wizard\d_source .
GOTO Registration
=== Locating the $HOME Scripts Directory ===
Open CodeBlocks. Click on File > New > File. The "New from template" dialog box
appears. Right-click on "C/C++ Source" and select "Edit this script".
Switch to the "wizard.script" tab that opened in the editor. Now click on File >
"Save file as."
The editable wizard.script file has been copied to the $HOME scripts directory, under
a subdirectory called c_file. When the Save As dialog appears, make a note of the
path to the containing directory. That is your scripts directory. The d_source
package should be installed beside the c_file directory.
Close the wizard.script file, discard the changes - we just wanted it to make the directory.
=== Registration ===
The wizard has to be registered. As above:
Open CodeBlocks. Click on File > New > File. The "New from template" dialog box
appears. Right-click on "C/C++ Source" and select "Edit global registration script."
Near the bottom of the RegisterWizards function is a comment "// file wizards". Copy
the line for "c_file", and change the copied line to read:
RegisterWizard(wizFiles, _T("d_source"), _T("PL/D source"), _T("Programming Language/D"));
You may change the 2nd and 3rd strings, if you like, but the first string (d_source)
is a directory name - you will have to update the filesystem if you change that
value.
Save the result, then stop and restart Code::Blocks.
=== Testing ===
Select File > New > File. The "New from template" dialog appears. The last item in the
dialog should be the newly-installed PL/D source option. Selecting that option should
invoke a new D source wizard.
