Fix The Attachments Options

[tux]

So where the heck is (or was) the ZUG downloads? And what's the difference? 8^/

if it isn't too dumb a question

sdjf

If I knew were they were, in the senses of the url, I would be able to wget the ones that I needed.

To answer your question: the simplest way to explain is for me to ask you to google for zaurususergroups aka ZUG and go to the link. You'll then see a page with various bits of info and prominent links. The links include these forums, zaurusthemes, the ZUG feed(which thankfully has been restored) and the ZUG Downloads. If you click on the Downloads link you get a menu which offers you about 200 files. These files range from scripts through various ipks, roms of all sorts (the majority for the 5500) and useful development files. They also include a zipped copy of the Sharp Rom 3.10 and 3.13 files for the desktop. I mean the files for syn and usb drivers.

The problem is that the links don't work

I hope that eventually the links will be restored. Some of this stuff is very hard to find. Some people have recently asked about them and it would be so easy to direct them to the downloads.

Cheers

PS Some of the links are referenced from ELSI, ZSI and other software libraries. The fact that they don't work is a problem there also.

In a rush, so don't have time to paste the lines together. I think I see what you may mean.


In:

http://www.zaurususergroup.org/UpDownload
+index-req-getit-lid-243.phtml

I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member
function Execute() on a non-object in
/home/.nika/offroadgeek/zaurususergro
up.org/includes/pnSession.php on line 368


Clearly they just haven't updated the address or code references in that file since the move?

Spot on!

If you have a quick look at the headings you can see that there are some useful and interesting files.

I tried the above url
http://www.zaurususergroup.org/UpDownload/
It didn't work, so I went to the main page
http://www.zaurususergroup.org/
and clicked on [ZUG Downloads] and got to the page using this url
http://www.zaurususergroup.org/UpDownload.phtml

You're right, none of the links on that page work.

I was also suspicious of the "phtml" but saw on google that a phtml page "is a Web page that includes a script written in PHP".

I'm thinking, though, that if I really want an ipk, I can always get the exact filename from the index page for the feed, and then wget it from the feed.

Problem is that even if we can wget the ipks, we still don't have the links to the home pages, etc.

But sdjf,

they aren't all ipks.

If you notice in the 'menu' for the downloads the ROM section? Under the Sharp Rom it says there are 16! Largely thanks to albertr, there are all the roms for the 5500 from the original 2.? to the 3.? This might be of particular interest to you?

Under tkcrom there are various release candidates of the 5500 rom and a version for the clamshells. Also available the Sharp applications as ipks if you wanted to use them with the tkcrom.

Similar groups of applications for some of the other roms.

Scripts, zipped up copies of the 5500 cd, the jeode java, opera ....

All in a nice convenient location and at the moment unavailable!

Cheers, and to any admin who has the time...Please restore this useful facility.

[sdjf]

Ya caught me be lazy about perfecting my post.

I know the ROMs are supposed to be there as well, and that it is an essential resource for the community.

Sigh. I hope more people are helping InSearchOf with this.

ISO Just to say I am very grateful for your efforts

It sounds like you are feeling as frustrated as I am!

Possible tactic? Shift this forum to the top position

I did try a pm to offroadgeek.. no response so far


PS sdjf.. I thought you were aware of that.. Just using your response as an excuse to bump!

Wow, glad this thread was created. I hope someone is able to get this issue
with (at least) image attachments to open correctly. It makes it very painful to
try and catchup with what's been going on with the Z and see folk's screenshots, etc..

I am working on it, but I'm kinda stuck right now. I need the latest version of IPB and I dont have access to the customer portal.

As soon as I get it, the problem should be fixed (hopefully).

[Meanie]

as a temp work around in firefox, what I currently do is install the Force Content-Type plugin, and add the following regular expression as a rule:

http:\/\/www\.oesf\.org\/forums\/index\.php\?act=Attach&type=post&id=*

then I assign image/jpeg as the new mime type so I can just click on attached images to view them.
in order to be able to download attachments, I set the mime type to application/zip, but the attachment is always saved as index.php so you need to rename the file afterwards.

now if i get really desperate, i could hack the Force Content Type plugin and make it read the real content type of the returned attachment and set it automatically, but I am hoping the forum gets fixed soon so i dont need to do this....

Any progress on fixing the attachments? Renaming index.php to some incredibly long name is getting very old!

PS Anything happening with the downloads?
