["|" character inside one placeholder option]

If escaping it didn't work, then it's unlikely you can, right now.

many thanks for your asnwer, Shawn!

 

I'm gonna try to use | instead of the | char on those specific places... Let's see if it works...

 

Edit: nope, the Template Entry Window interprets it as a regular | char and divides the desired option into 2; too bad...

[Going one level up from startuppath]

I've seen some "more experienced" users in other topics use "..\x32" instead of "{startuppath}..\x32", which avoids the undesirable effect of having Ketarin path display in the "Target" column. I'm not sure this is 100% OK, but so far it seams the way to go for me.

[Relative Paths (on download location)]

As far as database modding goes choose File - Export All and modify the exported .xml with Notepad++ (or some other capable text editor that has mass replace function). Afterwards you can re-import this .xml to a clean jobs.db.

Great Idea! Thank you.

["|" character inside one placeholder option]

Is it possible to include one option in a "placeholder" (from a point in a Softpedia template) where I will have the "|" character as part of the specific option?

 

e.g.: I have 3 options, and the last one include both the 1st and the 2nd; I've tried escaping the "|" character but it did not work...

<placeholder name="Internal (Softpedia) or External (App Site) or Any (both) Sources?" value="Softpedia\|External" options="Softpedia|External|Softpedia\|External" />

[Going one level up from startuppath]

Oh, man... This partially answers my question in the other post... (we posted almost at the same time, and I hadn't seen this...) now, I'm embarressed...

Still, can I use a "search and replace" to alter all entries to start using this "{startuppath}" variable?

 

Edit: I couldn't figure it out, so I'm trying to export all to a XML file and edit it using Oxygen XML editor. It's still a bit confusing...

[Relative Paths (on download location)]

I couldn't find the answer for this, so here it goes (it might be a "stupid" question...):

 

--> How Can I enter a Relative Path to each item (software) entry?

 

e.g.:

instead of having on download location:

"S:\Software\_Base.Ins\{category}\{appname} v.{version}.exe"

 

SHOULD(??) I have something like this?

"{root}Software\_Base.Ins\{category}\{appname} v.{version}.{url:ext}"

 

and COULD(??) I have something more SIMILAR to this, knowing that KETARIN FOLDER is "S:\Software\_Base.Ins\_Ketarin\":

"..\{category}\{appname} v.{version}.{url:ext}"

 

and, at last, how would I go about changing all previous items entries to the new "Relative Paths Format"? Is there a "Search and Replace" function I could use? Or should I use an HEX editor to change it all directly in the database (jobs.db, located in the same folder as Ketarin executable)?
