StackHub News Blog

StackHub is a proud sponsor of SkyPosium 2017 - the worldwide SkyFoundry community event to be held on 14-15 November 2017, Dulles, Virginia, USA!

Not only is StackHub helping make the event a reality, but we'll also be manning an vendor exhibition stand. Be sure to pop by for a chat, ask questions, and grab some freebies!

Plus I'll be giving a talk on the second day in the Security Session explaining how you can protect and encrypt Axon code for FREE using Axonator!

It's going to be great!

"Looking forward to seeing you there!"

• Now you can enable Google Analytics on StackHub and log page view events for all organisation owned pages! Edit your organisation details to set your Google Analytics Tracking ID.
• Organisations may now enter a contact email address.
• When editing your organisation's website URL, the http:// scheme is automatically added if you forget to add it yourself.
• Updated the client CSS framework to Bootstrap v4.0.

• Updated the package versions page which had the Release Status field hard coded to beta.

• A daily job now backs up latest package versions to an alternative location.

• Profile pages may be renewed annually.
• Should you change the name of your organisation, then the public URL for the organisation will now automatically update.

• Package versions, and not just the containing package, may now be edited. This includes file names, status, and readmes!
• Added functionality to delete individual package versions.
• The StackHub home page now lists new packages and recently updated package versions.

Added support for syntax highlighting and table rendering in package readmes and profile pages.

To apply syntax highlighting to preformatted text, prefix the first line with syntax:XXXX where XXXX is the name of the syntax to use. Common syntaxes include: axon, csharp, css, fantom, html, java, javascript, and xml.

exampleFunc : 
(a, b) => do
    return a + b
end

To render a HTML table, use preformatted text with table: as the first line. Table parsing is simple, but expressive. The first line to start with a - character defines where the column boundaries are. All lines before are table headers, all lines after are table data.

• Packages may be linked to with fandoc links in the format [AxonT]`pkg:afAxont`.

Product purchase buttons may be rendered with fandoc links in the format [Buy My Product] `buyProduct:XXXX-XXXX` where XXXX is the product ID.

• Number of package downloads can now be tracked from the page sidebar by package owners.
• All documentation is now edited on StackHub using Fantom's fandoc syntax.

Note markdown is still read and supported when uploading package versions.

• Newly created packages are now private until a package version is uploaded against it.
• StackHub now sends vendors an email notification whenever they make a successful sale.
• Vendors are required to have purchased a (profile) vendor page in order to sell products.

This small logic change allows products to be sold even if the profile page is offline.

Want to put contact information in your product pages but scared it may be leeched by email spammers!? Then fear not!

• All mailto: links in fandoc documentation are automatically scrambled - like this:

-------------------- (refresh page to re-scramble)

• Added option to resend a verification email
• Added package download tracking

• Published code for a LicHelper Fantom class to help find valid StackHub product licences on SkyArc systems.

See the Selling on StackHub page for more details.

Now you can delete your payment details from the My Payments page!

• Organisations may now buy and sell products through StackHub
• StackHub generates a securely signed licence file for each product sold

Note that for first month of release, these new features are open to select beta testers only.
