An other version of my YSTools, for SMF.

SMFTools is a batch file to make backups of SMF (in ZIP archive), remove SMF (does not delete database tables!) and more.

I have not yet made the add-on feature as the project is just started.

Currently done:
- SMF File Checker (when no PHP file is found it is executed)
- Tools added
- Option select screen
- Remove SMF
- Backup SMF
- Wget for future versions
- add-on support
- SMFTools add-on manager (add-on)(removed in 1.1 and later)
- Themes
- Settings.php generator (only for 2.0! 1.1 support will come later)
- Emera skin

What needs to be done:
- SMFTools kit (canceled)
- Emera skin upgrade

If you have any suggestions I am glad to hear these.

This works with:
- SMF 2.0 RC3
- SMF 1.1.11
It will be updated when a new version releases or when the add-on manager needs updates.

Screenshot (click to enlarge):


About add-ons:
Add-ons are pieces of software that can be installed "in" the other software.
You run the installer and the add-on manager gives the actions.
You still need to add some code yourself.

Code (changelog) Select

1.1 Beta (RC1) (installer only)
- Coder mode now in seperate file.
- Copying now in seperate file to make booting faster.
- Design upgraded to Emera-skin*.
- Added special Coder Mode commands.
- Added Coder Mode readme.
- When no name is set prompt the user to set a name (at first run, it is saved temporary. Edit SMFTools.bat to set the name, or go to the settings to set a temporary name.).
- Installer now creates shortcuts for SMFTools and SMFDownloader.
- Added Generate Settings.php (buggy).

1.0.3 Beta

- SMF installation now also goes into the Sources folder
- SMFTools Add-on Manager installed
- Fixed ALOT of bugs

SMFTools installer 1.0 Stable

Can't extract the file?
You will need WinRAR.
Download it from here.
Then, download SMFTools.rar and right-click it.
Click "Extract here".
SMFTools will be extracted.

If you guys have any suggestions I am glad to hear them.

News:
Updated to 1.1 BETA!!
Removed Kit.rar for a while.

Notes
Code (CleanTemp notes) Select

Do not use the CleanTemp feature when you are having problems with SMFTools or the temp feature -- redownload SMFTools instead.
Using it without any reason may be fatal to you, as a temporary backup of your SMF installation as of before modifications made with SMFTools is stored there.
If you want a backup of your SMF database, use phpMyAdmin and back up the database.
Code (SMFDownloader bugs) Select

- SMF 2.0 RC1 and RC2 won't download correctly. Please wait for bug releases.
Code (What does SMFTools do? (gotten from the About page)) Select

SMFTools is a simple Batch file that can operate with SMF (Simple Machines).

Once SMFTools has started, you can use the default options. It has a build-in file checker so you don't have to worry about missing files.

With the build-in features you can download, remove or backup SMF. SMFDownloader is included, it can download SMF for you with the help of WGet (GNU).

If you are ready to try SMFTools, you can download SMFTools from this page.

Hidden feature: options
Type "options" in the Version Select screen to set your name and the design of SMFTools.
Oh my, it isn't hidden anymore now...

SMFTools Support Forum
Go to the support forum
Work in progress!!

Code (Emera skin about) Select

It sounds interesting! Thanks for letting us know, looking forward to the first version of it. :)
To-do lists are for deferral. The more things you write down the later they're done... until you have 100s of lists of things you don't do.

(sorry for triple posting)

I have made the first add-on.
It allows you to download SMF straight from a batch file.

It is uploaded to the first post.

I thought about doing something like this but with far less features a while back. Looks good - I'll try it out ASAP ;)

Maybe someone who is too lazy to use IE or Firefox or Opera or what ****** is on earth.

I cannot get batch to read databases without the user needing to install the forum on his own server...

But having any suggestions?

I've fixed the Sources mistake.

I didn't realize earlier that SMF also uses the Sources folder and thus SMFTools got merged into SMF.

Do NOT use the Remove SMF feature please! (If you already did, you can recover by redownloading SMFTools).

I've fixed more, and added more, such as a Temp folder, that copies your SMF installation to the safe place.
Replace it back when your forum becomes unuseable after SMFTools has modified it.

Added:
- SMFTools Connection Tool
- SMFTools CleanTemp Tool
- Replaced Sources folder with SMFTools folder
- SMFTools GUI now can communicate with SMFTools Batch.

What needs to be done before 1.0.4 release:
- Change the database to be lighter.
- Fix the SMFDownloader feature. (replace Calling it with Starting it, making WGET useable).
- Add more functionality to SMFDownloader.
- Fix new feature in SMFTools Add-on Manager.
- Convert BAT to EXE. This is for better performance.

What needs to be done on this page:
- Add add-on download link.
- Add images.

What needs to be done on the SMFTools page on yoshi2889.co.cc/forums/ :
- NOTHING, SITE CANCELLED AGAIN

At the bottom of the first post.

First download SMFTools.rar and then the optional add-on update SMFDownloader.bat, replace the old one.

I can MAYBE make it say that when SMF needs to be updated...
like when you type in 2.0 RC3 and RC4 is out, but I'm not sure.

The error codes are already handled.
This is no C# (I'm a total noob at these things). This is MS-DOS aka Batch.

I'm gonna release the complete SMFTools package today, I hope.
