In my Inno Setup project, I have some file in the [Run] section with flag postinstall, so Inno Setup creates a check box for this file in "finished" page. And now my question is, how to access properties of this check box (like Left, Right, Name,...) in Code section? I want to add some other component under this check box on run time.
The checkboxes on the "finished" page are not individual controls.
All checkboxes are just items in WizardForm.RunList of type TNewCheckListBox.
For similar a question, see Custom TLabel not displaying on FinishedPage in Inno Setup.
Please suggest step by step, how can I add a new module position in opencart 2.0.1.1 admin with the default ones?
Your new module will be displayed on Home > Modules page. Now click on the green
button next to your module to install it. Once the page refreshes , click on the blue button to edit it.
Enter the details in edit form of module and save it (make sure you set the Status as Enabled). Now you'll get the notification like , "After you have installed and configured a module you can add it to a layout here! "
Click on the link "here!" to redirect the layouts page. On this page you'll see the various layouts. Click edit next to the layout in which you want your new module to be displayed.
You can see the table having columns like: Module , Position , Sort Order
Now click on the Blue '+' icon at the right bottom to add your module, new row will be added. now select your module from the dropdown, set the position you want and provide the Sort order.
At last save the changes and thats it.!! you've new module positioned in your layout. just go to layout page and check it will diaply the module.
I'm trying to understand InstallShield (2009)/InstallScript on the fly, because I'm modifying someone else's installation script.
One of the dialogs during the installation procedure previously had one textbox on it, asking for a SQL Server instance, assuming a certain database name. Now I've just completed an enhancement enabling you to choose any database name, not just the default, and I need to add a field to this dialog so the user can input the chosen DB name. Monkey see, monkey do, just make a new control and duplicate and adapt whatever functionality the form had for the first textbox - easy enough, right?
Umm... problem here. It seems that the "SdShowDlgEdit1" form is a generic thing that gets shipped with InstallShield, and is used all over, wherever you have a dialog that needs one textbox. Change that form, and it changes everywhere that it's called... so now I have a spurious 2nd textbox appearing all over my installation wherever there was a single text box before.
Oops. Undo changes, and change the reference to "SdShowDlgEdit2", which is - you guessed it - InstallShield's standard form for dialogs needing 2 textboxes. Now that would be great.... excepting that the previous developer got there before me and added a "browse" button to that form for a place where he needed the 2nd text box to contain a folder path. I don't want that "browse" button, and I can't delete it.
So I think, why don't I create a custom form of my own, and not get under anyone else's toes? So I clone the form, rename the new instance to "EnterDbDetails", delete the "Browse" button and make the form look just right.
Then I go back into the InstallScript to redirect to "EnterDbDetails" and discover that the EzDefineDialog function requires me to pass in the "Resource ID" of the form. Now what was it again... 12018... great... fill in all necessary details, compile, build, and give it a whirl. Looks lovely, all the right default values are filled into the two text boxes - but hey! Why is the browse button there? And why is the text on the labels not what I set?
Back to InstallScript, check the Resource ID - turns out that the original "SdShowDlgEdit2" also has a Resource ID of 12018. Well, that explains that nicely. Silly that InstallShield allows you to have two forms with the same ID, but whatever... So let's go back to my "EnterDbDetails" form and change the ID...
... but the Resource Identifier property is read-only! WTF?
So now I can't use any of the standard forms, and I can't use a custom form because it won't let me change the resource ID.
I am stumped. Can anyone please explain how you are supposed to do something like this, which really ought to be the simplest thing in the world?
Creating New Custom Dialogs in InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Projects
Quote from the site (2015 edition) :
To create a custom dialog, you need to perform the following general steps:
Use the New Dialog Wizard to add a new custom dialog to your project. For more information, see Using the New Dialog Wizard to Add a New Custom Dialog to an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project.
Add controls to the dialog. For more information, see Adding a Control to a Dialog in an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project.
Create a script function that loads the dialog into memory, displays it on the screen, handles the end user’s interaction with the dialog’s controls, and closes the dialog when the user is finished with it. For more information, see Using InstallScript to Implement Custom Dialogs.
To create a new dialog:
Open the Dialogs view. The Dialogs view is located in the User Interface section of the View List.
Right-click the All Dialogs explorer and then click New Dialog. The Dialog Wizard opens. Click Next to dismiss the Welcome panel.
In the Dialog Template panel, click Interior Wizard Panel, and select the Let me insert this dialog in a User Interface sequence check box.
In the User Interface panel, select Installation in the User Interface Sequence list. In the list of dialogs, select InstallWelcome. Based on these selections, InstallShield will insert your new dialog in sequence immediately following the InstallWelcome dialog.
In the Dialog Position and Condition panel, leave the default settings, and click Finish. Your new dialog appears in the Dialogs list.
Right-click the dialog and select Rename. Rename the dialog WelcomeBitmap.
Using the same technique, you can insert additional dialogs in your installation’s user interface.
In this step, you will modify the WelcomeBitmap dialog that you just created:
First, create a bitmap (using a program like Microsoft Paint) that measures 300 by 150.
Open the Dialogs view.
Expand the WelcomeBitmap dialog’s node. Click English (United States) to open the Dialog Editor.
Click the Dialog Bold Title text box at the top of the dialog. In the Text field, type Welcome Bitmap. This changes the dialog’s main title.
Click the Dialog Normal Description text box at the top of the dialog. In the Text field, type Displays my welcome bitmap. This changes the dialog’s description.
Click the Bitmap button on the Dialog Control toolbar and use the cursor to drag a box on the dialog. Set the Height to 150 and the Width to 300.
In the File field browse to the bitmap file that you created in step 1.
After rebuilding the project (by pressing F7) and running it (by pressing CTRL+F5), the Welcome Bitmap dialog will appear after the Install Welcome dialog.
You need to edit the ResourceID (to something unique) in the Dialog table which is found in the Direct Editor under Additional Tools section in the Installation Designer.
By custimizing standard InstallShield dialogs, like sdWelcome, sdFinish and sdFinishReboot you will be able to use the dialogs default script APIs with the performed customization's
I am using Joomla 1.6.5 with default theme "Beez2 - Default". I have created a top menu item with type as external link which has link 'index.php?option=com_sample'. When i click on this menu item i can see the output of the component 'sample'.
But on the left side there are few menus like User Menu, About Joomla, This Site. I want to remove that whole vertical panel so that i can use more space for my sample component.
I tried to search in administrator panel and on google but cant find anything to remove left panel.
How can i remove that panel? what code should i write in sample component file to make it not display the left panel..
Please guide me.... thanks in advance.!!
You need to set the menu not to appear when your component is the one used. Remove the show in all pages setting in the menu module.
On the Joomla frontpage i want to have this kind of menu
Every item has a title and description and links to some article.
This list must be available for modification by administrator.
Is it possible to do it? I know how to modify menu to look like this, but standart menu doesn't support descriptions.
One option is to make it like so:
Make ordenery menus using Joomla! menu manager
Then make modules for every menu item and add menu link title and description
Make all menu link title on the module linked to the orginal menus you made on the first step
Unpublish menu module and publish these modules you just made into to the same place where was menu module
