No variables are used here at all. Would be possible to implement, we'll see

No it does not, I just verified. If it does, then only because the website has a poor UA check and parses the "IE" or "Mozilla" part of your variable name.

Actually I see no reason why variables would work in the user agent field at all. You sure that it does?

Heh, don't worry, Canneverbe Limited will pay for this, no need to spend your private money here

I thought through the options for a while and I think it would indeed be best for now if we could integrate the app database into IPB. I would like the apps be displayed like forum topics in a separate "virtual" forum. The list would include the app name, author (if registered and GUID specified in custom profile field), the number of downloads (instead of views), creation date, modificationd date and the rating (font colors green/red/black depending on rating). The list should be sortable and paginated like forum topics too. Opening a "topic" will result in displaying detailed information about the app (what exactly needs to be determined and would require some XML parsing). Voting should be possible in the list like suggested (up/down) and deletion should also be possible (for moderators only). If not too much effort, searching the forum would also be great. Each post should display an attachment that downloads the application as XML file. I don't know how difficult this is to create as addon for IPB. If you (shawn) think you can easily do this, feel free, otherwise I would actually post a job offer on http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/projects. I don't mind spending some money on this.

I don't think there is a length limit. So the question is: Why do you think that it does not work? What is the actual result? Does it work if you shorten the text of the variable? I'd guess not.

Don't know what compiler you are using, but you'll find these functions in partial classeses. There should be multiple source files per dialog and you need to compile them all.

Linux will be a problem because Ketarin requires the .NET framework. You can actually make .NET run on Linux, but I can't tell you if Ketarin will work fine.

This quality rating thing could indeed work and is not too hard to implement either. Linking it to forum users might not be hard either, if I add a custom field in user profiles that allows entering your GUID it should be rather easy to use this for the app database. I just added such a field (only readable by yourself), so that part seems to work fine. I need to expose your GUID in the Ketarin about screen though so that you can actually copy&paste it.

Doing this in a script might be a little difficult. Would not recommend

Yeah the online database...it definately needs some refinement. I'm not quite sure which way to go. Resetting doesn't really solve anything in the long run. The question is - How do we prevent submission of garbage (apps that simply don't work) - Handle multiple uploads of the same app (with same or similar name) - Detemine if apps are still up-to-date or obsolete Not sure if some kind of voting mechanism would help? I am open to suggestions, maybe I'll get some time to spend on that during the holidays. Wouldn't hurt to give Ketarin an update again.

You can simply write "int x = 0;" or whatever kind of variable you need. Other than "int" you will probably need a "string" like string x = "a";.

Well, I'm still around, but I'm slacking off a bit in regard to visiting the Ketarin forum. In regard to the C# API, I would recommend you to check the Ketarin source, in case of "app", you should look at the ApplicationJob class. You can use all the public methods and properties there.

I'll poke him about that. I also just upgraded the forum software to the latest version. Makes fighting spam a bit easier.

Try the latest beta version.

I'll add the missing file for the next source release. I know what the issue is and I would also know how to solve it, I am not putting any effort into it though, since the source demand for Ketarin is pretty low. So have fun with the source

Hi, the required source files are located in the subfolder "CDBurnerXP", just not linked into the project for technical reasons. If you want to contribute, feel free to suggest patches, I'm open to suggestions.

You could also run a shutdown tool or even "shutdown /s" in the post update script. Doesn't really need an extra feature for now.

Not impossible, but the next changes in regard to the online database should rather go into moderation capabilities, so it can be cleaned up a bit and more exposed to the public.
