Please find attached a patch against 1.18 svn r783, which :
1. Updates the Dutch (nl) translation ; 2. Introduces a new option, 'Font Width Multiplier" ; 3. Adds a new option in the main menu : "Browse Web".
(2) allows you to define a multiplier, which allows the SC menu entries to be completely filled with text (instead of capping after approx. 26 characters). 1.0 is standard behaviour , 2.2 allows for a complete fill. This parameter is defined in the new Config entry : Advanced Options > Miscellaneous.
(3) lets you browse the web (e.g. daily comics, newspaper headlines, links to your local MythTV, deep-linking, etc.). The content is created just like the Radio Bookmarks module : IE-style .url files, and a Media Location with the new Media Type "Web".
Note : I finished the patch while 1.18 was being released. As such, the database modification which is now included in database/update_118.sql needs to be manually applied (or wait for a future SC release, if Rob approves of the patch).

Re: Browse Web - 2007/05/31 04:42Didier,
Please could you send me a zipfile with the actual files in - for some reason TortoiseSVN refuses to apply your patch to my working copy

Strange ; the diff was generated with the Eclipse Subclipse plugin.
Sidenote : I wonder whether anyone uses Eclipse (with Subclipse SVN) + PDT (PHP Development Tool) : it is fully cross-platform, and it now supports the Xdebug protocol too. Additionally, it supposedly allows one to debug directly from within Firefox (see also the Xdebug helper extension). There is a Trac connector for the Mylar plugin too ...
I noticed you already included most of the patches in r788.
Please find the remaining patched files included in the attachment (config/config_misc.php , config/index.php, lang/en/en.txt, lang/en/nl.txt). The only new file is config_misc.php, the others are slight modifications.
Please note : in /index.php, I deliberately did not include the internet_available() check for BROWSE_WEB, in order to allow local intranet browsing should an internet connection not be available. I guess this is quite a superficial situation anyway, so completely at your sole discretion.

Re: Browse Web - 2007/05/31 07:59Strange ; the diff was generated with the Eclipse Subclipse plugin.
I'm not sure which is to blame - the fact that Subclipse included absolute references to your files (instead of relative to the repository) or that tortoise was unable to apply it.
I noticed you already included most of the patches in r788.
I loaded the .patch file into textpad and manually hacked it

Sounds interesting, You don't know of any tools that allow you to do refactoring in PHP do you? I really need to do some cleaning up of the swisscenter source
In /index.php, I deliberately did not include the internet_available() check for BROWSE_WEB, in order to allow local intranet browsing
I did consider this, but then I thought, well, its more consistent if disabling the internet connection option on the config page disables ALL of the options listed below it. And how likely is it that you'll be accessing a local website and not have internet connectivity? (maybe I'll add a parameter to override it that you can change in the "expert options" page)
Thanks for the modifications

The patch has already been added in the development version, changeset [788], so will be included in the next release.
To retrieve a current development build, consult the wiki.

As you're running a development version and not a point release, the database update in database/update_119.sql (see also this) is not automatically executed (as it does with regular updates).
You'll have to modify your db manually with the abovementioned update.

Re: Browse Web - 2007/07/13 14:45OK....I'm too impatient to wait for the next release. What steps do I need to take in order to get this working now? If it's easier to recreate the db, that's fine.

(add an entry to you language file located under lang\ : BROWSE_WEB = Internet)
create some .url files (IE shortcuts) and store them in a directory
add this directory as a Media Location with category Web
(*) My files are located here: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Simese\Data\
Update: It does work via my browser, but not via the Pinnacle Showcenter 200, I get the error "Cannot connect to server PC. Please press "A" to continue"
Update 2: a website on my media server network works
