Now with added horseradish!




Or something.

Get it at: http://xplode.voidfx...Plode-1.1.2.zip

Read the XML for info, I'm sure very few "new" users will end up using it, so chances are you know what does what already.

killerbee, I think it can be edited in any text editor that supports unicode... Wraith, feel free to tell if I got it wrong.

[killerbee]

hi,

ran a test - it has to be unicode (hehe - notepad won't speak unicode but SuperEdi does...)
ok, that was an easy one with the log-files

[Wraith]

Actually, notepad does speak unicode. *shrugs*

[killerbee]

hi,

u have changed the log-file output and i think there is now much less useful info in there.

There is no Execution succeded line any more.
Filecommands don't generate any useful info or what will

     Running command: 'move' {
        Command: move, (3,1)
      }

say to me???

debugging errors in the .xml is NO LONGER POSSIBLE.

plz fix it up, because i can't see where my errors in the file copy process are.(Worked like a charm with my older version)

OMG plz help

cya

Hmmm. Bit of a whoops.
Screwed up the scope. *shrugs*

Fixed version in a few minutes.


EDIT:
Or maybe not. It's being a crackwhore.
Too tired to fix it up now, will do it when I wake up tomorrow.

execute display

doesn't work anymore atleast not for me
great job tho

[Wraith]

None of Display, WriteLog, GetString, SetEnvironment work in the plugins. his is a problem with the scope I had mentioned earlier. I screwed up the callbacks

Basically, that stops a large proportion of the functions. The plugins should still execute properly, but not actually show anything. Working on a fix.

[Wraith]

Okay, updated now... this time I actually checked it, rather than assuming it was correct

[Wraith]

Just updated AGAIN.
Readme has changes.

hi,

just tested v1.1.2 after i've been a day off and it works perfect.
I have only one issue left:

I wanna move around the Start Menu Entry for Spybot Search & Destroy from Programs to Programs\Accessories with

<move source='#ALLUSERSPROFILE#\Start Menu\Programs\Spybot - Search & Destroy' target='#ALLUSERSPROFILE#\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Spybot' />

but the "&" always breaks my .xml. I get an error when viewing it because there's a "&" in it. How can i use the & without errors???

cya

try the ASCII codes, "&" or "&#38" (add a ";" after the 38) it's for websites but it might even work ^_^

Hi all,

I have a little question. I try with XPlode 1.1.2 to insert a little icon in the instal box for each program.

I see anyone use that for example :
<item display='Microsoft Office 2003' image="%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\images\Office2003.jpg">

I try that, but the picture is not present. It's normal or not ? or it's just a problem of width/Height ? My icon take 20x20....

Help me please

[Alanoll]

umm...
XPlode does NOT display the images to the side of the object like XPDeploy does. Perhaps wrong thread?

[Nouki]

no no, i would try that with XPlode. So i'm sad !

But i think about XML Unicode, it's not possible to use html command like img src or something like that ?

[Alanoll]

XPlode does NOT have the capability to display a custom image to the RIGHT of each item. You can change the background image, but that's it.


XPdeploy can have the "icon" of the program to the right similar to the add remove window in Windows. If this is what you want, refer to the XPdeploy thread. It's in there for syntax.


Otherwise, you CAN'T do what you want.

Have you tried:
option 1:

Quote

<move source="#ALLUSERSPROFILE#\Start Menu\Programs\Spybot - Search & Destroy" target='#ALLUSERSPROFILE#\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Spybot' />

notice the double quotes instead of single quotes.

option 2: I don't know if XML supports it, but you might try to "escape" the needed & by writing &&.

option 3: use the MSDOS 8.3 short name instead of the long name. You can open a command prompt window and CD to the Start Menu\Programs folder, then do a DIR /X to see the short names associated with each file.

If tehre is a need, I can modify the parser to allow for things such as &amp; etc.

That is, if it's not already in there. Not entirely sure if the parser I have uses that already.

Unfortunately, I've looked through the code, talked with the boss, and have come to the decision that parts of the code I just simply cannot release source to.

I'm going to try and make as much as possible into seperate DLL's, but there will more than likely be one or two things that I'll just have to provide a binary for.

I'm thinking that right now, the current setup is OK, and I'll jsut add a "display" DLL for the interface. The parsing and stuff doesn't really need modification, and the source of the plugins will be released, so you SHOULD be able to do a lot of things, if needed.

Expect a new post in about a week when I've figured out logistics. Would be earlier, but I have exams in a couple of weeks, so time is limited.
