Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 9, 201312 yr Hello , Right now in order to download any IPB package , we are required to follow many clicks. We also can't directly download files via wget to our servers. Is there any way that you can implement allowing wget usage so that we can fasten downloading IPB packages ?
January 9, 201312 yr Presumably, the problem with enabling WGET would allow people WITHOUT subscriptions to also get the files ?
January 9, 201312 yr Author Not necessary , they can easily implement methods that can prevent unauthorised access.
January 9, 201312 yr Author I think you'd be the only person to use it ;) There is a possibility , but i really don't want to believe that :)
January 10, 201312 yr :smile: 32 clicks to download my suite or a simple wget with credentials passed .... uh... yeah, Sign me up. Um, no, I have 0 use for automated installer/upgrader, I prefer to do it myself and always have.
January 10, 201312 yr I'd prefer git / svn access over a static download..... buuuuuut I already know the answer to that ;)But I would like to see fewer clicks to get the downloads.
January 10, 201312 yr You can already do that. EDIT: On a sort of unrelated note; Why show the first "list" of categories when there's only one? "IP.Board and <somethingsomething>". Just go straight to the list of files.

Just go straight to the list of files. That link is not functional anymore. I tried both on my mac and 2 different test server and in no case secure_hash can be found within the downloaded file. Though thanks for supplying the link.

Looks like they override the IPB wrapper on the homepage now, and /clients/ isn't returning anything, but skipping straight to the download link does. curl "http://www.invisionpower.com/clients/index.php?app=downloads&module=display§ion=download&do=do_download&id=22"

File 'ID' is correct, direct url works, just won't spit the whole thing into the zip.
