So part two of support day here in the Dist-Pen

In my last post I had a look at the [Support] section plug-in and now I am going to have a closer look to see if I can create my own custom version of it.

The first thing I want to do is get rid of the 'perldoc' blurb and I can accomplish that by simply making that attribute false (0) in my 'weaver.ini' file

[Support]

++perldoc = 0

[Legal]

'Bugs' is the next blurb that I am looking at and I should be able just to turn it on by specifying that I want to use the 'metadata' rather than the default 'rt' so all I need to do is

[Support]

perldoc = 0

++bugs= metadata

[Legal]

and it should just work for me.

Next I am going to look at the 'websites' blurb. I initially though I could add in my own fake web site item on this list but on second reading of the POD I see that I can either have all, none or just a select few from the default list of nine different sites. I do not like that long list of nine sites so I will only pick the two I like the most and add them in as follows;

[Support]

perldoc = 0

bugs= metadata

++websites =  kwalitee,  Testers

[Legal]

Now I can just forget the 'irc' link for now and from my last post I say that the plug-in was smart enough to figure out that I am using Github so I do not have to change the 'repository_link' at all. However, I really do not like the default blurb for it so I will swap it out for one I like;

[Support]

perldoc = 0

bugs= metadata

websites =  kwalitee,  Testers

++repository_content = This code is free software.  Change it as you like. Patches and comments are welcome.

[Legal]

So that is all done now just give it a the clean and build with dzil and I get

Undefined subroutine &Pod::Weaver::Section::Support::_add_websites_Testers called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/Pod/Weaver/Section/Support.pm line 508.

opps! I guess case matters for the websites so a quick change to that

--websites =  kwalitee,  Testers
++websites =  kwalitee,  testers

and the clean and build again I get

=head1 SUPPORT

=head2 Websites

The following websites have more information about this module, and may be of help to you. As always,

So a very good start on it but I still would like to get my custom website in the websites blurb and I think I can do that by using the websites_content attribute and adding it in there. I will give this a try and see what come up

[Support]

perldoc = 0

bugs= metadata

websites =  kwalitee, testers

++websites_content = This code has a home page at L<http://database.accessor.org> /n I addition ++following websites have more information about this module, and may be of help to you

repository_content = This code is free software.  Change it as you like. Patches and comments are welcome.

[Legal]

and after a clean and build I get

=head2 Websites


This code has a home page at L<http://database.accessor.org> /n I addition following websites have more information about this module, and may be of help to you

So that is all great and good and I think this plug-in is a keeper that I will be using in the future.
