i can't get any modules to download from loose-screws. it important because it has at least two modules shellfront doesn't have mzScript 0.9b12 aka jam4 & lsmath 0.31.

i have the correct line in the rc

*NetLoadModuleSite "http://loose-screws.com/download.php?filename="

i have no idea why it doesn't work

TIA

you should set each *netloadmodule lines to point to the exact link; like this:

*netloadmodule mzscript-0.9b12-jam4 http://loose-screws.com/mdownload.php?id=198

Ooops...

This also fails i already tried that :( i tried doing this too

*NetLoadModuleSite "http://loose-screws.com/download.php?filename=" ".zip"

and setting order to to no help :(

the correct code to d/l mzscript-0.9b12-jam4 is

*netloadmodule mzScript09j4 http://loose-screws.com/mdownload.php?id=198

still can't get lsmath to d/l even with the same stuff :( and i have now loaded
icondesk 0.55 (via NLM) and it can't find the desktop window.

loose-screws uses weird names for a number of modules. I don't know what to suggest other than only using modules that are available at shellfront (or bugging the respective site owners, but they're probly pretty busy). :(

You shouldn't have to put the id= url in like that... it's not wrong (though if you have to use the right name then it isn't doing any good), but that's not really what the url there is intended for.

But if you do (and it works), you should use shellfront-style names: mzscript-0.9_beta-12-jam4 because that's the "correct" name.

I guess I don't understand everything Rabidcow says :)

it didn't work with shellfront style names and the Loose-Screw url. :(

Well, this is my netloadmodule section (I've tested it with an empty $modulesdir$)

*netloadmodule jdesk-0.711
;*netloadmodule grdtransparent-1.1_beta_1
*netloadmodule jkey-0.37
*netloadmodule timer-0.5
*netloadmodule wndman-0.15
*netloadmodule one-0.5 http://loose-screws.com/mdownload.php?id=203
*netloadmodule lsxcommand-1.8.4
*netloadmodule rainmeter-0.9
*netloadmodule vtray-1.06
*netloadmodule rabidvwm-1.01
*netloadmodule layercut-1.72
*netloadmodule xlabel-2.2
*netloadmodule popup2 http://dot5.todoroff.com/popup2.zip
*netloadmodule textedit-2.52
*netloadmodule lsdynamic-1.61
*netloadmodule geekamp-1.9.7
*netloadmodule lswchanger-1.2
*netloadmodule mzscript-0.9b12-jam4 http://loose-screws.com/mdownload.php?id=198
*netloadmodule literunner-1.0

*netloadmodule subclass-0.1

*netinstallmodule taskbar3-0.306_alpha-3
*netinstallmodule tasks-0.92-b3
*netinstallmodule traytasks-1.7

verbalshadow: That's what it sounded like. That means that NLM is unable to use that URL, so it isn't doing any good. I dunno, maybe it doesn't follow http redirects or something. (Don't ask me, I'm just stealing IE's download code.)

You'll have to stick with loose-screw's odd names (assuming you can guess them) or manually download the zip to $NetLoadModuleZipPath$, where you can rename it if you really want to bother. Otherwise there's only bugging/patiently waiting for web site owners to get their archives up to date. :)

Smurth: Don't feel too bad, I don't understand everything RabidCow says either :)

i figured it out. it has to do with the order of the *netloadmodulesite if loose-screw is second things act really funny but if its the first line it ok. like so

*NetLoadModuleSite "http://loose-screws.com/download.php?filename="
*NetLoadModuleSite "http://www.shellfront.org/modules/"

i'm not sure if this is a bug/feature or i'm just confused

and loose-screw links work no problem now

timing out is killing me this was a double post

the "double-post thread"...

Hm, order shouldn't matter since it shuffles them around anyway... I'll take a look at it in a bit.

I really don't understand anything: when I switch to OTS2 few weeks ago, I've deleted all the moduledir stuff to be sure modules are correctly downloaded.
Now, I'm about to post my theme, I've installed the last "Litestep Installer" to start from a newbie point of view and I can't make netloadmodule download mzscript-09b12. I'm using this:

*netloadmodule mzscript-0.9_beta-12-jam4 http://loose-screws.com/mdownload.php?id=198

Update: humm, it should be due to the update of netloadmodule. I have tried with quotes surounding the url and it works

Update: aaarrrggghz... it worked. Now, it doesn't work anymore. It would be simplier to upload mzcript-0.9b12j4 to shellfront.org

Ok, I tried:

!netinstallmodule mzscript-0.9_beta-12-jam4 http://loose-screws.com/mdownload.php?id=198

The installation failed. I clicked download again, this time it worked.

Something is not right here. :(
