    [Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11

    in WPI, nLite and RVM Addons

    Posted

    Just PMed back. It worked after changing EnableExtensionManager to 1 in the application.ini.

    See, the install script is working properly on XP. On your Win7 machine do you have UAC disabled?

    If not, then right click and run as admin.

    Did the shortcuts get created?

    Are you on dial-up?

    still have the same problem as before. The installer wont install my addons under 7 and when I install any addon it says its not compatible with firefox. Everything works fine when I install it on XP.

    After your last post, I PM'd you several questions. You never responded.

    Ive been having problems with the new release. For some reason it will not install any of my addons with any of the versions I've tried. Also for some reason when I build an installer using any of the 3.6 betas I cant install any addons because it says that its not compatible. I can't use the nightly tester tools because its not compatible. Ive edited the compatibility check in the about:config and tried editing the install.rdf but have had no luck.

    Send me the logs and I'll look into it.

    Thanks

    ***EDIT***

    Give the link to the nightly tester tools and I'll see what needs to be done.

    Excelent AddonOn, please...

    What is the last Firefox Addon Maker supports Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20 and where I can download it if it exists ... Thanks, greetings

    Atte Germangelv

    I'll see if I can locate a Mozilla website that is hosting it. If I can locate one, then I will add it into the next update.

    ***EDIT***

    I will add it to the list for the next version and I'll try to get it in there.

    The files are available from the Mozilla ftp. There are a couple of problems with using the ftp and the older versions. The ftp is for "developer's" and they often close it to scripts(wget). I have added a few strings to the wget command and that may help. The other is that they are no longer updating it and therfore the language selection is not the same. This will take some work as I have to move the language id's out of the script and individual text files for each version. The newer versions having many more more languages available than the previous versions, etc.

    I have already been considering this, but this may not make it into the next update

    Thanks

    Ok, I finished adding proxy support and I have been wrestling with how to complete the W7T addon. I have a few ideas and would like some feedback from anyone the uses W7T addons.

    First, I can use a reg file to insert the reg entries created when Firefox is normally installed. This limits the installation location and I would prefer not to do it this way. For the same reason that I removed the inf addon. To much maintenance with each version. This would be completely uninstallable.

    Second, the W7T addon could just put the files in a temporay location and then use a reg file to install and create the proper shortcuts. But, doing it this way is no different than using the silent installer. This would be completely uninstallable.

    Third, Firefox would not be properly installed. The reg entries that are created when Firefox is installed would not be entered into the registry. The reg entries that are created to set Firefox as the default browser would be the only reg entries entered into the registry. This would not be uninstallable.

    All of these still require the installer to get the correct path %ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)%. I am leaning towards the second option. This lets setup.exe do most of the registry work and -setDefaultBrowser do the rest. That way the reg settings are always correct and then the installation path is not restricted. I hesitate only because this would be identical to the silent installer, except that it would require a reboot.

    Is it not possible to integrate silent installers into Windows 7?

    Anyway, those that use Windows 7 can tell me how they want the W7T addon to behave and I'll finish writing the script.

    Thanks

    I can not pick on it at any point. Cheers!

    The only things clickable in beginning is "Use Local System", "Update Links" and if you have a saved settings.ini file then "Load Settings". Everything else is disabled.

    As soon as I finish the "Set Proxy" and and the runonce entries for W7T addons, then I will begin a video tuturiol. I will also be adding more contextual help. I explain things that sound right to me, this is often hard for someone else to understand, so a little help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    well since i started to reread about c++

    it took me a couple of min to rewrite some simple programs

    but i wanted to move on and since i don't like reading for a book

    i wanted to find a new thing

    so i found this site here

    it's a nice site good for beginner

    so i wanted to share it with you guys

    if you got any question i understand some c++

    so i can help a bit in this field

    Regards

    DM

    I drive a truck 10-14 hours a day. I convert my pdf's to mp3's and listen to them. Then, when I get home, I can breeze throught the chapters that I covered while driving.

    the site you mentioned above is pretty good for beginners but you will quickly need more.

    I started learning C++ about 6 weeks back and had to take a break to update my tools.

    As you all know, I have posted this project on Sourceforge. I did this for a few reasons. The first is for hosting. But, the main reason is to increase the awareness of it and increase it's use.

    Could I ask all of you to post your comments on sourceforge. It will increase the possibility of this project being listed when searching for firefox related projects. Right now, it does not show up at all and my ranking is around 3850.

    As I learn more about sourceforge, I will add content.

    Thanks for your feedback and your support.

    it seems fine now

    about set as default i think you can use A runonce registry to do that

    it would set the firefox on first run

    what do you think ? that is the closest thing to do until now

    It is either that way or or put a shortcut on the desktop.

    RunOnce is cool if integrating, but a pain if used in a live system. Neither is perfect.

    And not that easy to implement. I use vbs scripts to create shortcuts, set default and create profiles. Not impossible, though.

    I have tested a little-bit. No more problems with icons. It is problem with save settings. When I load settings, there are only few of them. All from right part of the table. No 'personal options', 'non-personal options', 'editable options', 'including plugins', additional software'and 'create shortcuts'.

    That's all for a moment.

    send me the settings.ini file located in %APPDATA%\Jonnyboy's Firefox Addon Maker", so that I can see the output. It is probably a language issue.

    Thanks

    Exact name of the icon is "Mozilla Firefox". I don't know it is in every install or randomly. I haven't time to check it out.

    This icon is visible, but it doesn't exist, and disappeared when I restart system. Weird, isn't it? By the way I have Windows XP.

    One more thing. When I press 'set proxy', I got an error:

    'Set Proxy' is not complete and should have been disabled.

    well i will have a look and tell you

    first when i press

    JonnyBoy defaults and choose W7T

    it seems that it sets the Default Browser and Quick launch

    so when you pick the W7T you should force it to uncheck this

    and it says congratulation it's done

    but i can't find the file any where

    'Use Defaults' sets the items and W7T addon disables them. I left them so that if you changed your mind and wanted a silent installer, your settings are still intact. I will come up with another way of doing that. I'll look at the W7T ddon and find the problem.

    Thanks

    Thanks Jonnyboy.

    It works like a charm, at the moment. It is almost perfect. Almost, because I've got 2 icons on desktop. One - Mozilla Firefox, is not active, and second - Firefox is the right one. But it is detail.

    This tool is much better and faster, than previous.

    Congratulations.

    Give me the exact name of the icon. When you use firefox.exe -SetDefaultBrowser, it automatically creates three shortcuts. I include a script to remove the icons. So, with the name you provide, I can delete it.

    If you set the compression level to "1" it is extremely fast and only about 20% larger output file.

    I could not see why the icon is the wong one, it does not occur with every install, just randomly. I will keep looking for it.

    ***EDIT***

    In the beta versions, Mozilla changes the icon group listings. It was 0, 1, 32512. In beta's it is 1, 2, 32512. I will have to add some script to see this and react accordingly.

    Also, if you desire the "Pinned Apps" shortcut, I need this:

    "When you right click on a exe or file, on the context menu, there is a choice to pin to taskbar. I need to what what the exact string is to pin to the taskbar. On english systems it is "Pin to Taskbar". Note, the string must be exact or it will not work."

    Thanks
