Use of Cab-O-Matic is simple: - Zip up the files you want cabbed (including optional .reg file)
- Upload the .zip
- Click a few boxes
- Download your .cab!
If you want your .cab to include registry settings, include a .reg file in the .zip. The format for the entries is as follows: HIVEROOT\PATH\TO\YOUR,KEY,DATATYPE,VALUE; For example: HKCR\Test\Test1,Test,STRING,test;
HKCU\Test\Test2,Test,DWORD,1;
HKLM\Test\Test3,Test,MSTRING,this is a test;
HKU\Test\Test4,Test,BINARY,00101110101; You can now also use BINARY and MSTRING (multi-string) datatypes. Support for program menu shortcuts is now also available for .exe files in the .zips Suggestions for use Not sure what to .cab up? Why not start with something simple, like a few registry settings! As you can see above, the format of the .reg file is very simple so creating a .cab of your favourite reg tweaks couldn't be easier! Why not put the serial numbers of your favourite apps into a .cab, so you don't have to manually register them every time you hard reset? Why not even re-pack an existing .cab and tailor it to your liking? You can use the free tool MSCEInf to extract and existing .cab and then use Cab-O-Matic to re-pack it! |

Right, so, as you can see, I've had a bit of a spring clean and basically re-done the whole site :D It's now leaner, meaner and ready to take the onslaught I'm guessing it'll recive once I publically release the world's first online .cab maker for Windows Mobile devices, entitled Cab-O-Matic....catchy eh? ;) |

Virtuemart (1.1.2) allows shoppers to leave a message to the seller via a "customer_note" textarea. The value of this, along with all other $_POST variables gets shunted into the $d array. The issue comes when customers hit return in the textarea to get a new line. This "return" is stored as "\r\n" but when $_POST['customer_note'] is added to the $d array, the slashes are stripped out, leaving just the "rn"....which can be confusing for the recipient of the note. Now, you could spend ages going through all the code and finding exactly where $_POST['customer_note'] gets added to the $d array or you could simply do this: In /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_checkout.php, find: L990 'customer_note' => htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($d['customer_note']), ENT_QUOTES ), and change to: L990 'customer_note' => htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['customer_note']), ENT_QUOTES ), Simple! Now when you receive an order via email, if your customer has left a note, it will make a bit more sense ;) |

So early yesterday evening I got a rather cryptic contact submission here on nedge2k.com regarding a new WiMax enabled HTC device. Needless to say, this had me pretty excited. This morning, I got the pictures and some info...so here it is! What we have here is the "HTC T8290" (code-named HTC Quartz) and it is due out on the Russian WiMax network, Yota, very soon - so I'm told. Some specs as follows: - 3.8" 800x480 WVGA LCD
- GSM+WiMax
- 802.11g WiFi
- Bluetooth 2.0
...yes, specs are a bit thin on the ground but I'm told to expect more info soon! So what's so good about WiMax? Well, think of it as having ADSL2+ on your phone! From the pictures, you can clearly see this thing is connecting at speeds around 14meg, impressive! More info as I get it. Many thanks to my anonymous tipster for this great scoop! UPDATE: Courtesy of sim-unlocker, it would appear we have some further specs! - Processor: QUALCOMM(R) ESM7206A @ 528MHz
- Cellular networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100
- Cellular Data connections: CSD, GPRS, EDGE, 3G/UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA
- TouchScreen: WVGA 480 x 800 TFT 3.8 ” (65536 scales) MDDI Samsung S3CA460
- ROM: 512MB
- RAM: 256MB or 128MB
- Mobile WiMAX: 802.16e (chipset Sequans SQN1130)
- Wi-Fi: 802.11b/g with VoWLAN capabilities (VoIP enabled)
- microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash and SDIO support
- Built-in GPS
- Built-in accelerometer (GSensor)
- TV-Out
- 5 Megapixel Camera
- IrDA
...pretty much what you'd expect from a new device - excluding the WiMax of course! Nice to see a decent camera included and, interestingly, the comeback of IrDa?
