View The Code

Well this is an open source project, right? So where is the code?!

Well if you’re not part of the Subtext team, but want to play around with the source code anyways, it is pretty easy to obtain the latest code from the Subversion repository.

If you are already familiar with TortoiseSVN, you can simply checkout the following location: https://subtext.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/subtext/trunk

If you are not, we provided a batch file that will perform the checkout for you.

Just follow the following steps:

  • First, make sure you have Subversion Client installed.
  • Download this zip archive containing two useful batch files.
  • Run the batch file “CreateLocalSubtextDatabase.bat” to create a local database samed “SubtextData”. NOTE: if you already have a database named SubtextData, this script will delete that one, so run at your own risk.
  • The script should automatically map the ASPNET account as a user in the database. Confirm via Enterprise Manager.  If you are running on Windows 2003, you'll need to add the Network Services account instead.
  • Now place GetSubtext.bat in your root “projects” folder or equivalent (for me, I would place this file in my “c:\Projects” folder, though some use c:\Dev or c:\Work).
  • Double click the batch file. This will create a subfolder named SubtextSystem and check out the trunk into that subfolder.

If this step fails, make sure that the svn.exe is in your path.
