Don't use the slider... Know about DblClik on History. The prob with History is the most recent is at the top so I always have to clik grey space first to bring it to foreground. I keep just enough of the checker visible to see the hyperlink.

Yeah, I know... pet peeve.

I have a solution for the using an existing window problem. I just made this change and the slider opens a new window.
quote:
Howard,

you should be able to get the desired behavior by changing the following
registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic

It normally has the value

WWW_OpenURL

Changing it to

WWW_OpenURLNewWindow

will make sure IE will always open a new window for VPM sessions.

This is the same setting that is being used when you type e.g.

start http://www.ActiveState.com

on the commandline. It will also reuse the most recently used browser
window. With the registry change above, this will open a new windows as
well.

Ron,
Thanks for the tip.

As for the script hammering the net connection, if it runs on the server hosting this board, it would never see the wire.

Howard,
Thanks for yours too.

Yes Les, it would not see the wire if run against folders, but I have seen the code, and currently (unless Howard has already modified it drastically) does rely upon hitting the server from a net connection.

Folders has nothing to do with it. Since the name resolves to its own address it would be like http://localhost/ as the address is in the same subnet and ARP would resolve internally.

Try it on a laptop with IIS running and no LAN connection.

I have no knowledge of the file/directory structure used by the UBB software. If I knew the file naming conventions and formats, the program could definately sift through the raw data files if the program were to be executed locally on the UBB server. This would be fast indeed. (No UBB overhead)

This implementation uses an HTTP client.

Jens, as stated above, the pages at my site are only temporary to gather comments such as yours regarding the naming format. The problem I have now is that the name is ripped from the subject line. Some do not have ()'s. Other do not have any code to post, hence no ()'s in the subject. I need to review each line yet and alter the code to handle these special cases.

As for the missing ";" at the beginning, that is a definate bug and will be corrected this weekend. Thanks for noticing it.

I think I'm going to be in the doghouse tomorrow. [Frown]

My wife went out of town and her dog decided to follow... The dog is a ten year old oversized German Shepard that did the same thing before. That time a neighbor called saying he spotted it a few miles down the road.

If I don't find the dog before she gets back, there's a doghouse with the vacancy light flickering... I better go take a drive around. If she asks, I was gone for hours, eh. [Wink]

Jens, your ";" bug has been squashed and the website has been updated.

UDF library collection

{edit}

The FileProps UDF did not load. I will be investigating the file structure and adjusting the program to account for this unique data format.

Howard, Jens, Les, others...

I may be mistaken, but I thought I remembered at least a couple of UDFs where the author posted updated code further down in the posting. This code extraction appears to only grab the first post. If the newer code is further down, you would never know it by looking at this list.

Is this possible? or have all the UDFs been cleaned up in regards to this?

Checkout HASH(). I am trying to get ALL the code in the thread. So far I am part way there. Still tuning the loops and regular expressions.

The guidelines call for the code in the first post to be updated and this is something that I am strongly in favor of. I don't think the program should dig deep. Rather the author should be encouraged to revise their posts or the moderator may do so if the author fails to comply.

Don't get me wrong!

I'm in favor of only having the 1 page of relevant code. I'm simply expressing that I don't think that it currently is that way.

I agree with you Les, but that does not make it so [Roll Eyes]

Hopefully "most" posts are done that way and kept up to date that way.

Jens, I really did fix the ";" bug you voiced concern about. After fixing another issue, I re-introduced the missing ";".

I'll get this right eventually.

Howard,
Instead of coding around a whole bunch of exceptions to compensate for deviations from the standard, perhaps an exceptions list that the moderator could use to flog the authors or to simply edit the post to conform may be beneficial.

After all, standards are only effective if followed.

Someone once said "the great thing about standards are that we have so many to choose from".

Good thing. Did you have a long enough phone cord get connectivity from the doghouse? [Wink]

When I built my house I wired the rooms with Cat5 but neglected to do the doghouse.

Note to self: Self, when wiring garage, remember to include Cat5.

BTW, did you get a look at that DLL? How do you feel about hosting it in light of not being able to get the author's permission? Do you plan to do a client DLL similar to your admin DLL? Maybe you and Shawn should compare notes and come up with a 'swiss army knife' DLL.

I plan on looking at the DLL after I cut the grass this afternoon.

I am now fighting a Comcast FTP problem that causes much delay when trying to update the UDF files. [Mad]

Howard: No worries about the ';' bug.

General UDF Comment: I started introducing a VERSION header into my UDF while I modify them. We might want to make that part of the standard header structure.

Also, the header structure should be a comment section as part of the code and not separate text above the code section, it makes it easier to copy the header into my UDF library.
