I'm not sure what process others use for uploading lua scripts. Filezilla? Anyway I've thrown together a vb app (windows)to download, edit and upload again to Livebox.

If anyone is interested I can email it.

Hi Magill, Nice app! gotta

Hi Magill,

 

Nice app! gotta love VB for automation, i spend a lot of time working with it for automating my daily tasks in and out of work :)

 

I personally use Notepad ++ to edit my scripts and Winscp to upload / download

I'd missed this

Heh. I'd missed this post. Gotta like the old VB. This will help folks who aren't very comfortable with a unix environment.

I'm kinda 'old school' - just telnet onto the Livebox and edit directly with vi from there.

just been playing ...

... this works well.  Would it be hard to make it load/edit xap-livebox.ini as well?  Then I can stop using my

weird Filezilla ftp - wordpad - ftp - dos2unix routine.  Yes I can use vi but keep making silly errors and confusing myself.

Regards

editing xap-livebox.ini

Hi Kim

I can add a button to download the ini file, but unless I am missing something I have never needed to edit this file as everything can be modified via the gui.

John

Update..I've emailed you the updated version.

thank you

Thank you for this.  Yes you are right - I do everything via the GUI.  However it has crashed on me from time to time leaving me with a mess in the ini file.  Deleting the whole entry for say the xlively upload does work but then reentering 15 items takes a while - particularly with my error rate.  Using the backup/recovery system works well of course - now I am remembering to backup BEFORE I start making changes (well usually!).

Regards

Kim
