Hi guys,

 

I wondered if it's possible to write a template for the in Germany well-known download-site CHIP.DE?

There are surely some great templates for MG or SP, but I can't download german versions there :(

 

This is an example-link to download the latest Glary Utilites 2.13: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Glary-Utilities_32044559.html

 

Maybe someone can help me with this? For example I really don't know how to use "regex" etc.

 

Best regards and thanks in advance for your help

Below is template for Glary Utils. Now test with other urls/versions, adjust regex if needed (maybe Expresso helps?), and insert placeholders. Quite simple actually. =)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! This is really awesome :) Thanks a lot for your lightning-fast reply.

 

Is there a chance to modify your template to work with placeholders and various URLs (with the pop-ups) like you used in your latest Softpedia.com-template?

 

I really appreciate your good work and your precious help

 

cool400 :cool:

 

Edit: the template doesn't work :( When I open the "Variables"-window it seems that there is a problem with the download-URL.

BTW, this is the error-message I get from Ketarin: Invalid URI: the URI-string is too long. ??? And after this sentence there the source-code of the whole CHIP.DE-page...

 

I never dealed with Expresso before - seems like a hard piece of work. Do you've got any tips where to start?

Thanks again - you were faster than me editing my posting. Maybe you can read this:

Ok, i found problem, but it worked fine for me when i first posted it ? =) Let me now if you get more errors. ;) To start with regex i suggest reading the Expresso tutorial also available at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/regextutorial.aspx and if you want something more advanced, http://www.regular-expressions.info/ . And then all you need is some practice.

This website is tricky, i would suggest starting with something more simple ? Problem is, sometimes you need 2 redir variables, other times 3. I have just tested Sophos with my first template and it works fine, but with the second doesn't work at all. Now i'm getting this message with Glary, is this a website problem ?

I agree with FranciscoR completely... CHIP.DE would be quite an undertaking cool400. Lots of inconsistencies which makes for a template development nightmare. It my very well be one of those sites for which developing a 100% reliable template is unachievable. Sorry for the bad news. FranciscoR has given you a solid start. My recommendation would be to get comfortable with regex and work with that start and edit as necessary for the apps you must get from there. ;)

Thank you very much for your try-outs...that's really some bad news :(

 

The thing is that I really like to have a download-archive like Softpedia.com, which provides mostly german applications. I'm not download from CHIP.DE very frequently, I prefer direct-downloads from the manufacturers - but I though it could be a good idea to start with an "All-In"-platform.

 

Does anyone here know an equivalent to Softpedia.com im German?

 

Best regards and thanks again for your precious help
