Shoshoni Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) I've been putting down some work and this is what came out:This package includes the following:QuickTime Support,Shockwave Flash 8,Adobe Reader,Java Applet support.----- Browser Config -------I made a few customisations to to the default settings:- Browser Cache will be deleted upon exit. - Homepage = Google- Open page in new tab option is now disabled. If you open another instance of Opera it will open in the same window. I've changed a few more things but what's mentioned above is pretty the main thing. Download LinkHave Fun! EDIT: See post below for another download, That package enables you to make your own. Edited December 19, 2006 by Shoshoni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid as a rock Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 sounds great!! i dont know if this is unattended possible but could there a button added for people to switch to IE (there are some sites which dont work right with opera 8.5)http://nontroppo.org/wiki/CustomButtons#webdev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash&Burn Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 What is open page in new tab option? Do you mean "Open in new page" or "Open in new window"Cuz I certainly use open in new page all the time.And I also start up a new window to organize tabs at times as well.

Solid as a rock Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 i think the topicstarter could better write a howto unattended install opera 8.5 with al his stuff, so everyone could do to what he/she want with unattended opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoshoni Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 It's like your clicking on a link. Then its opened in a new tab instead of the same tab (all pages are tabs). It's a bit confusing but to put it simple: you end up with numerous tabs.i think the topicstarter could better write a howto unattended install opera 8.5 with al his stuff, so everyone could do to what he/she want with unattended opera. Thanks for the tip! I'll check if if I can work something out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash&Burn Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 @ ShoSHoniOk but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, and when you want to "force" a link to open in the same tab, all you have to do is rightclick & choose "Open"Generally sites will force a new page, when they link to something off site, and if you set your preferences to have all new tabs open after the current tab, instead of [last tab], that works just fine as well.Anyways, latahs.

Shoshoni Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) How-to guide NOTE: I do not have any programming experience at all, but I have tried it anyway because I'm here to learn! I've created a batch file and a AutoIt file for the opera setup.Here's the how-to guide:At the end of this post there's a download link for you. The zip package contains the following when extracted:The Plug-insI've spotted some nice little info on the Opera website: These instructions were written for Opera for Windows. General plug-in installation instructionsDownload the plug-in and start the installation programIf given a choice, install the plug-in for use with Netscape, and not Internet ExplorerFollow the on-screen instructions and complete the installation of the plug-inCopy the plug-in's ".dll" file(s) to Opera's "Plugins" directoryGo to Opera's Preferences menu and choose PluginsPress the "Find plugins" button or close Opera and open it again to automatically find the plug-inOkay you can get your .dll's from several places. I got the most of them out of my Firefox plugins folder!Place these in the program\plugins folder.Opera SkinsPut the skins you downloaded inside the profile\Skin folder. Make sure they're zip files.Custom settingsInstall Opera for a single user (very important!!) and configure it the way you want it (including skins, bookmarks, plugins and settings).Next thing, take the opera6.ini and opera6.adr files from the C:\Program Files\Opera\program\profile directory and place them inside the profile folder.Installing Opera silentHere's an AutoIT Script: (change the 'Icon creation' the way you want it to) ; Launch app.Run("ow32enen850.exe");; hide windowsAutoItSetOption ( "WinDetectHiddenText", 1 );; Initial Setup ScreenWinWaitActive("Opera 8.5", "Welcome")WinSetState("Opera 8.5", "Welcome", @SW_HIDE)Send("!n"); LicenseWinWaitActive("Opera 8.5", "Software License")WinSetState("Opera 8.5", "Software License", @SW_HIDE)Send("!a"); Directory InstallWinWaitActive("Opera 8.5", "Select Installation")WinSetState("Opera 8.5", "Select Installation", @SW_HIDE)Send("!i")Send("!n"); Icon Creation;------------------------------------------------- Remove the ";" below to disable the option.WinWaitActive("Opera 8.5", "Icon Creation")WinSetState("Opera 8.5", "Icon Creation", @SW_HIDE);Send("!s") Adds icons to the start menu ;Send("!d") Adds desktop icon ;Send("!q") Adds Quick Launch icon Send("!n"); InstallationWinSetState("Opera 8.5", "Ready to", @SW_HIDE)WinWaitActive("Opera 8.5", "Ready to", @SW_HIDE)Send("!i"); Quick startWinWaitActive("Opera 8.5", "Installation Completed!")WinSetState("Opera 8.5", "Installation Completed!", @SW_HIDE)Send("!r")Sleep(1000)Send("!f")You might need to modify the window captions to your language but that shouldn't be much of a problem.When you're finished, use the 'aut2exe' to compile your script. Name the file: 'ops.exe' When your done, delete the compiler and your .au3 file. _______________________________________________If you wish you can wrap it up again and make an sfx or leave it as it is now. Make sure that you launch the install.cmd no matter what method you use. Please, Please, post corrections / suggestions if errors come up. I'm not experienced but on this forum people are. I have other things on my mind for the coming weeks but I'm able to read your reactions.DownloadHave Fun!

Solid as a rock Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 How-to guide Of you wish you can wrap it up again and make an sfx or leave it as it is now.

I have other things on my mind for the coming weeks but I'm able to read your reactions.DownloadHave Fun!It is not clear enough for me, what must be written in the SFX installer (comment)? Also you have included Aut2Exe.exe, it dont work, get a error: "unable to read in AutoIt stub file (AutoItSC.bin).".But i have already install AutoIt on my pc, so this is not a great problem. you write also something about plugins and skins. i believe there were skins and plugins in the rar packet on rapidgear but the maps are empty.Do you know how to add a button as if inIE?

Zxian Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) Wouldn't it just be easier to use the silent install switch of /s rather than the autoit script? You'd have to remove the icons you didn't want, but you can do that in your install.cmd file after the installation is complete.EDIT - After downloading and extracting the file, that's not the directory structure at all! What did you use to create the MSI file? Installsheild?EDIT2 - You could make the package even smaller by using 7-zip. I've got it down to 3,753KB so far.

Zxian Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 if reading the comment of that package: SFX Maker Homepage: http://sm.davidcornish.comi dont care how to install it, /s is fine too, but i want to know how to install a button of Opera silently, read my first or second post in this thread for more explaining I had a look at that program... it's basically just a nice front end for keyotime's guide (using Zip instead of 7zip). Doesn't really explain how the directory listing in the installer is different from Shoshoni's guide.As for the toolbar, look at the "standard toolbar.ini" file in the /profile/toolbar folder. Here's an example of my standard toolbar file.Opera Preferences version 2.0; Do not edit this file while Opera is running; This file is stored in UTF-8 encoding[INFO]NAME=Opera Standard (Modified)[Pagebar.alignment]Alignment=4Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=4Collapse=1[Personalbar.alignment]Alignment=0Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=2Collapse=1[Status Toolbar.alignment]Alignment=0Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=4Collapse=1[Site Navigation Toolbar.alignment]Alignment=0Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=2Collapse=1[Document View Toolbar.alignment]Alignment=0Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=2Collapse=1[Start toolbar.alignment]Alignment=0Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=2Collapse=1[Customize Toolbar Custom.content]Button0, "Bookmarks list dropdown button"="Show popup menu, "Browser Bookmarks Menu", , "Bookmarks", "Go To Homepage""[Document Toolbar.style]Button type=2Button style=0Large Images=0Wrapping=0Maximum Button Width=0Grow To Fit=0[Document Toolbar.content]Button0, 69240="Rewind + Show hidden popup menu, "Internal Rewind History""Button1, 21209="Back + Show hidden popup menu, "Internal Back History""Button2, 21235=Stop | Reload, , , 21210Button3, 21211="Forward + Show hidden popup menu, "Internal Forward History""Button4, 67675="Fast Forward + Show hidden popup menu, "Internal Fast Forward History""Address5[Browser Toolbar.content]Button0, 21204=Open documentButton1, 21205=Save documentButton2, 21206=Print documentButton3, 21208=FindButton4, 21212=Go to homepageButton5, 69682="Set alignment, "hotlist", 6, , "Panels" | Set alignment, "hotlist", , , "Panels""Button6, 21215=Tile verticallyButton7, 21216=CascadeQuickButton8, 67676=Start listening | Stop listening, , , 67677 | Stop speaking, , , 67678Button9, "Save as CHM"="Execute program, "savepage.exe", "%u", "Save" & Save document with images as, , , , "Save document as""[Browser Toolbar.alignment]Alignment=0Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=2Collapse=1[Hotlist Panel Selector.content]BookmarksTransfers, 1[Hotlist.alignment]Alignment=0Auto alignment=0Old visible alignment=1Collapse=1I think the key part to look at is Customize Toolbar Custom.content. You should be able to add your button there (or just copy/paste your current toolbar.ini file here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
