How to svn checkout the xataface modules

Xataface by itself doesn't come with any modules to reduce the size of the download. But if you want to get some modules for your xataface, it is very simple!

You can checkout the repository for modules at:

http://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/modules/

There is a list of modules. Once you've decided to checkout a module, you can then do this through the command prompt using the 'svn checkout' command, or through the gui interface.

How to properly checkout xataface from svn command prompt

So to checkout from xataface from the command prompt, you can simply enter the command

svn checkout https://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/core/trunk

This will check everything that was in the trunk folder out and into a trunk folder.. However, if you want to say check it out into another folder you need to provide a parameter. So for example:

svn checkout https://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/core/trunk xataface

This will check everything out into the xataface folder (everything in the trunk folder).

Xataface svn repository

One good thing you should do if you are planning to develop an application with Xataface is to actually checkout the svn repository of Xataface. The most recent code for Xataface which includes bug fixes and features will be added to this repository. I used tortoiseSVN as my svn client, and to checkout you simply use this address:

http://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/core/trunk
