GaVrA Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) IMO i really dont need this... Also i really dont like the thing they are trying to force this like a must have thing without offering old skul manual edit's... I really like to see what is going on on every mod, where does edits go and such, also i do think that there is heck a lot of pp who will love this mod, but like i said i really dont like not leaving option for manual edit's... Now i have to read xml file if i dont want to have this mod installed... If someone thought that this could be like with universal mod installer, well IMO they are wrong... All i want is that in "Fresh Install.html" files an option for manual edits of files... Nothing else... I salute to mod creator for making it easyer for a lot of ppl, but i think that there is also a lot of us who like old skul... :P I thinkg Gorbo even learned php that way... :lol: EDIT: Just saw, when clicked on "Perform Edits" it shows what edit's must be made... :P Yay!

Trialgan Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Just saw, when clicked on "Perform Edits" it shows what edit's must be made... :P Yay! Exactly what I was about to say :) The manual instructions are still there, and you don't have to use the system to do the edits automatically at all.

GaVrA Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Well in all those "Update's" i never saw "you don't have to use the system to do the edits automatically at all." :P As you can see i opened this topic before installing this mod... hehe...

GaVrA Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Well i still dont know how big impact shall it have on IPB world, but as for me, well, i recently upgraded to 2.3.5 and i think this pic say it all :D http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/6813/nonameyj0.png All manual edits... :D What i think i might like about this is those backup's... For example, 5 mod's have edit's in 1 file, what is happening then with these backups? Ofc they are all install with [boT] File Editor... I mean look at time track of when you install mod's(which require edit in same file): 1. 19:00h first mod first backup 2. 20:00h 2nd mod 2nd backup 3. 21:00h 3rd mod installed, and guess what? 3rd backup is created so what now if i want to uninstall 1st mod(19:00h)? Which backup will it use? If the answer is #1 then that is a problem, couse edit's for 2nd and 3rd will be lost... Or am i missing something? And then what if different mod's have same place for edit's, i know i had problem with "Adriano__Block_Forums_from___View_New_Posts___1.2" and terabyte's "(T23) Group Format 1.1" in one file... :) I think it was action_public/search.php Either mod creators will have to be very veeery specific about the edit's or it will mess up everything... I know when i was installing adriano's mod, there was one edit where i had to replace entire function with his one, just becouse he didnt specify egzeckly where are the edit's necesery. I mean i understand him, he just say "replace this with this" much easyer then find this, then that, after that add this, etc... So just my 5 cent's about this whole thing... :) I hope you understand all this... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialgan Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Unfortunately yes, the only way to uninstall the first mod is to revert to the first backup, but with automated file editing, all it takes is a few clicks to redo the other file edits :) If the File Editor cannot find the line(s) it is searching for, it will display a notice saying that the edit needs to be done manually instead of the line numbers and check box to perform the edit.

I know that then i would love this... :D Know with 30+ mod's install i have several files that were edited, well, several times, and ofc i have several backup's of same file from different time line's... Very very hard to keep track of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialgan Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Unfortunately the only way I can think of doing that would require a lot of disk space, and I don't want the backups to be taking up a huge amount. [boT] File Editor | My Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management terabyte Posted May 30, 2008 Management Share Posted May 30, 2008 Imagine a mod like my "(T23) Group Format" using the File Editor instead of manual editing :lol: In a situation like that with 57 file edits could be very useful but the main problem is if you have a lot of other mod installed on the board that can broke the search routine and then you have to do edits manually... :P Board Rules - Available Products - Need a Custom Work? < Don't PM me for support, post in the forum or submit a ticket from the client area instead! > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaVrA Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Imagine a mod like my "(T23) Group Format" using the File Editor instead of manual editing :lol: ye, that is why this mod is great, but also "(T23) Group Format" is the only mod i installed that require more then 2 min of job... :D It really remined me to my phpbb2 days... :lol: In a situation like that with 57 file edits could be very useful but the main problem is if you have a lot of other mod installed on the board that can broke the search routine and then you have to do edits manually... :P Like i said, that and backup's are my mine concern... If that could be made in way i described previusly i would simply love this mod... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
