Forum Archive

Here is my ForumCodeBlockAdmin class. It's designed to live in site-packages and it will automatically update the code block of the relevant Forum post with updated source code:

it brings up the Forum sign in page, and once signed in
the post to edit is retrieved from the [class]_url property of the specified file/main_class
the code block is found within the Forum editor and updated
optionally, the update is automatically submitted

It was used to upload it own source code below.
