alt presskit()

Is a free (both as in speech and as in beer) alternative to the excellent presskit()

Why make an alternative?

Rami is one of the busiest people on earth, and while presskit() is pretty great, it's not perfect. By making a new version, using open source and the accompanying collaboration methods I hope to make it even better. Since this project was started, the original presskit() has gone open source.

Pull requests are welcomed, but keep in mind the intent: Stay minimal and efficient. No bloat.

The idea is also to stay backwards compatible with the original, but this may change in the future.

Added features

  • Responsive layout
  • Pretty urls
  • Valid HTML5
  • Nice cropping of thumbnails

Installation instructions

  1. Download the zip file and extract it.
  2. Make a copy of config-defaults.php and name it config.php, edit if needed
  3. Add your data.xml to the data folder, follow the instructions there if needed
  4. Upload to your server

Useful tips

  • You may sort your games in any order using the <sort_order>1</sort_order> tag in the game data.xml, lower numbers appear higher
  • You may use a <title>höledöwn</title> tag in your game data.xml to use characters not suitable in directory names.
  • If you need to use html or other characters unsuitable for xml, wrap the tag contents in a CDATA tag:
<![CDATA[ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/holedown/id1297270249?ls=1&amp;mt=8 ]]>
</link>
  • You may set the background color of the header using a <color>#1f1824</color> tag in the game data.xml
