Hello!!
i have made a script that allows to have several menues with different
configuration, and you can change to a new menu during blackbox is
playing.
it's very usefull be able to work with a specific menu.If you are to
use internet you can change to your own internet menu, if you want to
draw, you can change to the graphic menu...
I hope you like it.
What's up
Changemenu is a very simple script make in bash.
How use it
---------------
The only function is to do envairoment blackbox better.
Blackbox use .blackboxrc for take info about users menu. User menu is
make middly TAG. "Changemenu" include a new TAG into menu that do appear a new
folder whit all menues. You can configure the menu to your prefer menu in real
time.
It's more usefull to can work with a specialicity menu. With
"changemenu" you can work with internet menu if you are useing internet,
graphic menu if you are working in graphic aplication...
Contents
---------
"Changemenu"is in "Chinstall" script. This script create and change some files.
If you execute "Chinstall", you can see this:
-h : Display this help.
-v : Display the version
-u : Uninstall
-z : Delete uninstall information
-i : Install
Installation:
--------------
During installation the script do this:
1. Modify the session.menuFile line in .blackboxrc, addresing this line to a
link file named "link".
2. The "chinstall" program extracts itself sources in order to generate
"changemenu" script. This script is been installed in /bin/ if you are
UID=0, else in $HOME. If this file already exists in the handable path for
user then no install "changemenu" file.
This script is used to find the path where are the menues and to change the
link for pointing to $1 parameter.
The reason that makes necesarilly find the path each time is :
a) The program this way can be played for different users.
b) There are programs that change the path of menues.
c) Anyway this proccess is quite fast
3. The "chinstall" script make two menues examples: internet and graphic
and change the standart menu, including at the same time, a new folder with
all menues.
4. The "chinstall" script open a menu-of-menu file. (see bellow how to
include menues).
5. The "chinstall" script change itself to keep the uninstall information.
6. Creates in $HOME a Log file with all install changes.
* Onces the program has been installed you have to click on reestart in
Blackbox.
* The script can be install as many time as you want but it only keeps
the uninstall information the first time.
WARNED: If you want change or delete the uninstall insformation, you have to
play "chinstall -z" and the script will be reseted.
Uninstall:
----------
The uninstallation undo all said above. The uninstall information is deleted
too.
Only if you are UID=0 you can delete "changemenu" script of /bin/, but it
will warn you that could be another users playing it.
* The uninstall information ( -z ) will be deleted automatically if the
script doesn't find a previous installation ( The chinstall script was
modificated before with uninstall information)
Add/Delete Menues
-----------------
To add a new menu file you only have to follow :
1. It creates the new menu file into the menues folder. ( You can see the
path in .blackboxrc ).
It's important that the following line be included into the new menu:
[include] (path_of_menues/menu-of-menu)
2. Edit menu-of-menu and include in the follow:
[exec] (NewMenuName) {path_of_menues/NameOfNewMenuFile}
3. Restart Blackbox.
Anyway it's easier to see the example menues.
BUG REPORT:
When it changes to a new menu you have to click restart in Blackbox. That's
make it cool-less.
The only way I find to change the menu automatically is modificating the
Blackbox sourcer but it's not a clean way.
Although same times when you change to new menu it change automatically ¿?
Can anyone explain me it ?
The reason to make the program in bash is to learning it.
I'm not programer expert so any constructing critique will make me feel
better.
Any problems, ideas or help:
