*grumbles* How about using ENGLISH?! Even another real language would work just as well.

Thanks

very nice
404?  The test_modification.php file is meant to deal directly with .mod or .xml modification files, not with whole packages.

Sorry if I'm a little thick, but I don't see any tutorials or any other info...


[Edit] Nevermind... Linux Tiny-text, missed the attachment. Mea culpa.

Okay genius' let figure this out...

Same problem as an earlier post... I have a huge Mod written and ready, problem:  I use JS in the code, and it in-turn uses <[CDATA[ ...code here... ]]>

As you can tell there is a problem nesting CDATA lines.

Solution?  Oh, and no, unlike the other fix in this thread I can't add the JS to an already existing JS section of the file.  Will need something else...

[JayBachatero]

What you can do is 1 user the .mod format or 2 use the chr() function and echo each char in the <![CDATA[.  Like

Code Select Expand


echo chr(60) . chr(33) . chr(91) . chr(67) . chr(68) . chr(65) . chr(85) . chr(65) . chr(91);


[RRasco]

you could just add the function to a js file.

[Dannii]

Just leave out the CDATA tags, Javascript doesn't need it as presumably you're not serving your webpages as xml.

[BiGBLiZZ]

Okay, all great suggestions.  I shall give it a go!  Thanks!

[Something like that]

NOTE!!

I wasted 4 hours until I figured this out: All the files must be in the base directory of your .tar.gz file. Do not archive the directory containing your modification files!

Can anyone tell me how to use multiple search keys? Is the syntax any different from

Code Select Expand


<search position="before">string1</search>
<search position="after">string2</search>
<add>something to add just before string2</add>


I'd expect it to add the new part right before string2 and i expect string2 to come after string1. Am i wrong?

Another question: Can I use regular expressions to search for non-unique patterns and add replace them / add some code? I've been using the old syntax till now, and it seems some things are harder to accomplish now.

example: i want to replace all instances of

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread'
with

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=',$_REQUEST['action'].'
in the following code:

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread', $context['showing_all_topics'] ? ';all' : '', $context['querystring_board_limits'], ';sort=subject', $context['sort_by'] == 'subject' && $context['sort_direction'] == 'up' ? ';desc' : '', '">', $txt[70], $context['sort_by'] == 'subject' ? ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sort_' . $context['sort_direction'] . '.gif" alt="" border="0" />' : '', '</a>
</td><td width="14%">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread', $context['showing_all_topics'] ? ';all' : '', $context['querystring_board_limits'], ';sort=starter', $context['sort_by'] == 'starter' && $context['sort_direction'] == 'up' ? ';desc' : '', '">', $txt[109], $context['sort_by'] == 'starter' ? ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sort_' . $context['sort_direction'] . '.gif" alt="" border="0" />' : '', '</a>
</td><td width="4%" align="center">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread', $context['showing_all_topics'] ? ';all' : '', $context['querystring_board_limits'], ';sort=replies', $context['sort_by'] == 'replies' && $context['sort_direction'] == 'up' ? ';desc' : '', '">', $txt[110], $context['sort_by'] == 'replies' ? ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sort_' . $context['sort_direction'] . '.gif" alt="" border="0" />' : '', '</a>
</td><td width="4%" align="center">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread', $context['showing_all_topics'] ? ';all' : '', $context['querystring_board_limits'], ';sort=views', $context['sort_by'] == 'views' && $context['sort_direction'] == 'up' ? ';desc' : '', '">', $txt[301], $context['sort_by'] == 'views' ? ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sort_' . $context['sort_direction'] . '.gif" alt="" border="0" />' : '', '</a>
</td><td width="24%">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread', $context['showing_all_topics'] ? ';all' : '', $context['querystring_board_limits'], ';sort=last_post', $context['sort_by'] == 'last_post' && $context['sort_direction'] == 'up' ? ';desc' : '', '">', $txt[111], $context['sort_by'] == 'last_post' ? ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sort_' . $context['sort_direction'] . '.gif" alt="" border="0" />' : '', '</a>
</td>';

that was easy with the old method, but seems almost impossible now, unless you replace the whole thing, which wouldn't be the preferred way to do it, IMO.

Is it possible to make an uninstall package with no installs? If so, how?

Thanks,
brianjw

PS: Would something like

Code Select Expand

<code type="file" reverse="true">add_settings.php</code> work? with the reverse - ive only seen it on <modification></modification> tags.

[B Patterson]

By nature in order to uninstall something, you have to install it... what is it you're trying to do?

[Daniel15]

Anyone wanting more detailed information about the XML files (package-info.xml and the modification XML files), check out http://www.smfmods.org/wiki/Category:Packages

Is it possible to make an uninstall package with no installs? If so, how?

How would it be uninstalled if it's not installed?

PS: Would something like

Code Select Expand


<code type="file" reverse="true">add_settings.php</code>

work? with the reverse - ive only seen it on <modification></modification> tags.

Nope, that won't work. You need your own remove_settings.php script.
Although, the SMF Coding Guidelines state that you're allowed to leave the settings in the database, just in case the user reinstalls the mod (all their settings will be preserved).

[brianjw]

Well, this would be an uninstall only package (as in full uninstall) so if the person decides they want to remove all the database stuff too, they can but I want to do it without installing something before it.
