    Thunderbird Addon Maker v0.12

    in WPI, nLite and RVM Addons

    Posted

    Think this needs to be updated. attempt to use and wget logs says --23:05:01-- ftp://ftp-mozilla.netscape.com/pub/mozill...n32/en-US/*.exe

    => `Files/.listing' on either version 2 or 3

    Also when it did work last week did not include all my folders

    But Thank you for all your work including the FF addon maker !!

    Made it by request and I haven't kept it up. I will update it to work like my Firefox Addon Maker as soon as I can.

    thank you for the revision, I made a silent Addon, and thought it would install from the info as a standalone..unfortunately this is not possible.

    do you intend to revise this?

    Thank you

    The silent addon can not be installed except in svcpack, there is not installation mechanism as their is with the addon and silent installer. If you are referring to the silent addon not installing properly in svcpack, could you pm me all of the logs? Thank you

    Could you please be more specific on what you want to do, 'cause I didn't understand you mate :(

    The script above will take 3 arguments: the filename, the string to change and the replace with string. It will only accept an absolute string, no wildcards. For example: 

    cscript replace_script.vbs install.rdf 2.0.0.16 3.*

    would search install.rdf and replace 2.0.0.16 with 3.*

    What I would like to be able to do is:

    cscript replace_script.vbs install.rdf "<em:maxVersion>[this string is different in every file]</em:maxVersion>" "<em:maxVersion>3.*</em:maxVersion>"

    I have 50+ files with at least 25 different strings to change = 1250 individual iterations to open and search, with regex.replace it would only be 50+ iterations to open and search.

    I have found several examples using google, in the form of functions and subs, but nothing that I could make work with arguments.

    I have also tried numerous command line utilities, but have not found any that accept regular expressions.

    I could use a little help. I have a script that uses replace and will accept 3 variables to change text in a file. I need to change the script, to regex.replace to accept a (multiline if possible)regular expression as input.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Dim FileName, Find, ReplaceWith, FileContents, dFileContents
    Find		 = WScript.Arguments(0)
    ReplaceWith  = WScript.Arguments(1)
    FileName	 = WScript.Arguments(2)

    'Read source text file
    FileContents = GetFile(FileName)

    'replace all string In the source file
    dFileContents = replace(FileContents, Find, ReplaceWith, 1, -1, 1)

    'Compare source And result
    if dFileContents <> FileContents Then
      'write result If different
      WriteFile FileName, dFileContents
    End If

    'Read text file
    function GetFile(FileName)
      If FileName<>"" Then
    	Dim FS, FileStream
    	Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    	  on error resume Next
    	  Set FileStream = FS.OpenTextFile(FileName)
    	  GetFile = FileStream.ReadAll
      End If
    End Function

    'Write string As a text file.
    function WriteFile(FileName, Contents)
      Dim OutStream, FS

      on error resume Next
      Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    	Set OutStream = FS.OpenTextFile(FileName, 2, True)
    	OutStream.Write Contents
    End Function

    Ok I'm willing to try it,sounds nice. Post it here so others can test it too,but don't ditch the old one jet...just to be on safe side to see how it works. I'll test this one as soon as I can.

    BTW did you by any chance manage to test silent switchless addon on XP source,to confirm my theory mention above?

    P.S. It's 3.00AM here :blink:

    Silly, it's not written, yet.

    The silent addon is using the same ini file as the inf addon. It needs to be changed. It will be correcyted tonight.

    Go to bed. Thanks for the help.

    I think it's new since you make some changes to scripts. I tested it several times just to be shure since everybody reported "working" addon thus.inf selection is marked by default and I used silent switchless addon instead. It compiles it ok and integrates but it breaks complete win installation when installing it from T13. :(

    Alright. I just finish the fix for the language issue. I'll begin working on this. I also have a couple of other changes to make and then I can post the update.

    I have an idea and I'd like some feedback.

    The number of options is becoming daunting. I can create a text file with all of the options. You edit the text file and then the script would read the text and then create the addon of choice.

    Feedback would be great.

    thx

    Does anyone have any problems with switchless silent addon? Cause if breaks my win installation if I add it. However inf addon works perfect. :)

    Is this something new, or always?

    I haven't tested since I added the copy inf into it. I'll test again.

    Apparently, you are the first to try it. I know the cause and will fix in the next version. It's using the same ini file as the inf addon. I'll double check, but I think tha is it.

    thx for the haeds up.

    I choose option "4" -"Ayakawa 3.0", but it downloads "Firefox Setup 2.0.0.16.exe" and "firefox-ce-3.0.2pre-ayakawa-080704-PGU.7z".... BTW since version 0.460 it stucks on "Copying Personal Files..." stage (i choose Ayakawa 3.0, Silent Installer).

    Thanks for the heads up. fixed it and posted an update.

    Thanks Johnnyboy for all updates, you're way too quick for me to follow. However I found some little bugs:

    -0.461: could not browse for folder appdata (choosing a profile) if Hidden files and folders are not shown in sistem

    -0.462: somehow app stops at first screen (probable cause: internet proxy?)

    Thanks and keep up the good work.

    hmmm.... I could write a script to unhide hidden files, but I don't think that I want to monkey with other peoples systems. I'll just add a comment to the next version. thx

    Does the app stop forever? Let me know. I don't use proxies but, so I don't know how to work with them. I am behind a firewall and router with no problems, though.

    ***EDIT***

    I'll see if I can write a popup for you to change the setting to show hidden files.

    The Is Installed was linking incorrectly, you shouldn't have most of the options if not installed in selected.

    It's already been fixed in the next update. I've been waiting to see if there were any other bugs, before posting the update. The language issue is the only bug that I wasn't aware of, oh and the double entry. I caused that by putting the reg pointers to the helper.exe back in. I'll remove them and the helper.exe.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Oh yeah. One more thing. Could you PM me the logs.

    thx

    PSS

    I write most of this and the script while driving down the road. So, sometimes I make typos and sometimes I miss things.

    thanks Jonnyboy,

    but I have one question :- I have so many files in my profiles folder( ie many prefs.js)

    and I'm not sure which one I have to choose to be on the "right side", nevertheless I chose one and it worked out well but dont know if that was my real preference. Any ideas on this issue?

    second issue, the previous version was so simple and straightforward , one could easily chose which version to d/l ( not in this one)-may be you will rework this one out too.

    A nice day

    Version 0.461 is posted.

    The prefs.js file that you are looking for is the one in the top level of the profile you want to use. The new version should help out some. Because, some people have profiles in non-default locations, I had to make this change in the script.

    The second issue you are referring to, could you be more clear so that I can be sure what you are asking?

    FF 2.0.0.16 is out.

    thanks

    As soon as mozilla updates thier web page, the script will update to it. The haven't been updating all of their pages very well lately. The current version on one of their ftp's is 2.0.0.14. The current version is not always in the same place. With each new version, a different web address is updated, but not the others.

    Hi Jonnyboy great program. Is there any chance to integrate a possibility to point to a custom profile dir and to use a standard FF shortcut icon (as a choice) during app process?

    If it is too much work, no problem. Thanks again.

    First question - I'm not certain, but I think that the profile path is hard-coded to look for profiles.ii in thapplicatio data folder of the user. The profiles.ini points to the actual folder where the profile is located. I can play around with the addon putting that file there and see if the profile will still be created.

    Second. Yes. I will add that option in.
