New way to browse the downloads section
« on: February 13, 2014, 10:06:22 am »
http://omnimaga.org/files/
In order to make Omnimaga's download section more complaint to the calcpkg project that TC01 is working on I quickly threw together an interface for it that makes it seem like it's a folder structure on the server. The folder structure is dynamically generated from the database every time you view it, so when a new upload is approved it will show up on the list!

You should just make a gCn client for calcpkg ;P

Thanks Eeems!

I haven't posted about calcpkg in forever here, but I've been working on it on github recently, as you can see. Hopefully the next release of the software will have support for ticalc.org, Cemetech, and Omnimaga (and will happen sometime soon!)

The existing gCn/Sandpaper bridge to ticalc.org actually uses calcpkg as the backend to lookup file info and fetch files, so there's no reason somebody couldn't write an Omnimaga bridge as well. (Once I actually get Omnimaga support working, that is, but it'll be trivial to do).

EDIT: I would, obviously, recommend using calcpkg to do this instead of writing everything from scratch, but I'm kind of biased. :P

So, this didn't take very long. :D

This definitely is not perfect though. Even from the output above you can see one obvious problem- my command line interface isn't working very well. There are other problems; the "info" command has not yet been implemented, and filenames with a space in them are causing issues. But these should all be easy enough for me to fix.

Thanks again Eeems!

I should probably update the old calcpkg thread on Omnimaga as well...

A little bug report: I think that for files which used to be direct downloads, if they were later replaced by an URL (such as a forum attachment or ticalc.org page), on your page the original download will still be shown instead of the URL. For example,
http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=847 (redirects to forum attachment)
http://www.omnimaga.org/files/User-Contributed-Calculator-Games-amp-Development-Tools/TI-84-Plus-C-Color-Edition/ (shows the last file uploaded before the switch to URL upload)

In addition to that, the file will be 0 byte and not work.  I had the same issue happening with the Doors CS 7 link (showing an old copy of DCS 6.2) and the CSE "Zelda" game.

I'll have to delete the file then. This isn't a bug with my software, it's a data issue.

I'm not sure there is really a good way to support files that are just links to other places in calcpkg anyway, unfortunately. :/
