Add new program problem?

[Grizzly_MV]

Hi. I started using the WPI tool and so far I find it very nice. I was already working on a very similar solution in our company here to simplify the unattended installations, but this tool will save us a lot of dev time!!

I've been able to customize it to make it work from a network, and adapt it to our needs. There's one "problem" I found, which is also there in the original version.

When I add a new program in the list (from the Config screen), how could I get the Categorie box filled with the existing categories ? I mean if we check a program that is already in the list, the categorie box will have None and Other (which are by default, even in a new one) but will also have all other categories used by the programs in the list. I'd like to be able to have the exact same box filed when I add a new entry in the list. any ideas of if it could be possible, or what lines of code to add?

My guess is it miss some code in the CreateConfigRow function in the ConfigWizard.js script, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right now, we are having some spelling errors that could be avoided with the box filled properly. ex: One existing program could be in Home Applications. Then somebody add a new app and will type Home Application (without the S at the end). Having the list, he would have been able to select Home Applications from the list and avoid having that kind of human error .

you know thats an interesting ideal, it would make things faster if you could premake the sections then when adding the cats just use a drop down menu to add them into what ever cat you like..

ive always been kinda annoyed with having to type the cat out every time i add a new program ..

maybe kel has a good answer for this one..

This question has been asked before and as of yet no answer has been figured out. I am still looking into at least making a set of "suggested" categories to choose from.
