Submissions to script repository?

By jharrison at Thu, Jan 3 2008 4:04pm |

I'm interested in submitting my Applescripts, CiteInPages, to the MacResearch script repository. However, when I log in and click the links to submit a script, I get only two content type links--a forum topic and a story--neither of which are structured like the script descriptions. Am I missing something?

CiteInPages (http://jhh.med.virginia.edu/main/CiteInPages) is a pair of Applescripts that allow dragging working citations from the open source reference manager BibDesk into Apple's Pages (v. 3) and then, when editing is complete, automatically inserting formatted in-text citations and correctly ordered bibliographies (either numbered or author-date) without the need to convert to RTF.

Is there someone else we should ask?

I posted the same question two months ago, I wonder if there is someone else we should contact about this. I think the script repository is a great feature, and one that doesn't really exist anywhere else.

Any forum readers know what the story is with posting to the script repo?

Hi Guys,

We've forwarded this onto our web developer and are looking into it.

Thanks for your patience,

Script Repository Should Be Working Now

Hi All,

The script repository submission should be working now. Can you please try to upload your files again and let us know, either way, the outcome?

Thanks,

Either error or wrong page

When I follow the links in the script repository page, the first link "click here" goes to the "create content page" with options for creating a story or a forum topic. The second link, "submit a script" gives an error:

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

So something did change, because these links used to go to the same place. Looks like there may be something else left to do.

I'm happy to work with the web developers to test/debug this,

Re: Either error or wrong page

Hi Andy,

I just tried to submit a script and it worked for me. Were you logged in when you hit the submit script link?

You have to be logged in to the site in order to submit a script.

Thanks,

Dave

Same result

Sorry for the lag in my reply, I'm neck-deep in writing my dissertation.

Yes, I've been logged in when I try it. Perhaps there is something wrong with my account, but everything else works just fine on the site.

I just tried again, and I get the same result, one link gives an Access Denied error, and the other takes me to a list of two content types, neither of which is a script repository entry.
