Custom "pre-release" label #212

Open sodiboo opened 4 years ago

sodiboo commented 4 years ago

So you know that beta attribute an app has in a repo? I'd like to suggest that instead of it being just "beta": <bool>, it could be something like "pre-release": <string>, and you could put what you want to be in the orange label next to it whatever you want

i.e. "pre-release": "ALPHA" would show up as alpha in an orange label next to the app name, instead of what you'd have to do instead atm of "name": "<name> (Alpha)"

This would also replace "beta": true, with "pre-release": "BETA" (since the beta label is in capitals) - however as a means for backwards compatibility "beta": true could also just be interpreted as "pre-release": "BETA" if no pre-release attribute was set

Actually this is something similar to a planned feature. The goal is that you will actually be able to specify exactly what text you want in the bubble. Possibly able to specify the color too.

I'd also recommend checking out my AltStore Documention to see the current features and some of my ideas for new AltStore Source features.

Oh, nice - Is this being worked on currently? I’m (attempting to) do this myself but if someone else is working on it that wouldn’t be necessary

I’ve also thought a little and i think a better name for this would be “branch”, something i thought of after seeing what names would fit nicely with the source code names already there

wait why is the beta badge an image that makes my job super hard i give up i'm not gonna create a completely new beta badge with customizable text

sodiboo commented 4 years ago

Anyway i've created like a base for it, so far i'm not sure at all of the stability but it's a start: https://github.com/Terrain2/AltStore/commit/7b680ea222667c1fa528a81fbb7456483485a554 Right now i'm really tired and cant be bothered to troubleshoot, so i'll probably continue tomorrow i did /not/ redesign the badge or even put any text there, someone else please do that because i have no idea how and i'm scared i'll screw up the whole thing if i mess with the UI

sodiboo commented 4 years ago

Alrighty so right now i have more or less the exact same behaviour as previously, but the attribute branch holds a branch name that should be displayed in the UI - Could someone else do this because i absolutely suck at UI?

I also fixed #222
