KeyWord Search Code Pack

rcrumbaker — Mon, 28 Mar 2005 18:56:00 GMT

http://www.myitforum.com/articles/14/view.asp?id=8503

We have gotten a few requests to update the Keyword Search Feature of the Code Repository. We listened to your requested and are pleased to announce a New Code Pack.

This database is basically the same exact database as the original Code Repository, that has been previously posted, except that it has an improved KeyWord Search Code. It also has a few table additions/changes and a new form (frmExport).

The default form is now set to the Export form. This database can be used by itself or you can export all code items to your copy of the Code Repository. The process for exporting the code from this Code Pack to your database is very simple and should be self explanatory.

The KeyWord Search Code Pack can be downloaded from here. The download is approximately 910 KB.

Please send an email to scriptingdb@yahoo.com if you have any questions, suggestions, feature requests, want to contribute code, or want to provide some general feedback. We will look into implementing user requests in future releases of the database. We encourage everyone to provide us with feedback so we can create a database that will benefit everyone.

Here is a list of all the various Code Repository links:
Code Repository Original Version
No scripts, blank version of the Code Repository
TechNet Script Center Code Pack
SMS 2003 Code Pack
Mouse Over Correction
Do-IT-Yourself Code Pack

Instructions
You can do one of two things when you see that dialog box.

Option 1. Import all the scripts into your current Code Repository
If you choose the button that “Click Me” is pointing to (Export to my Database)

You will then be prompted with a Would you like to continue Yes or No Prompt. This prompt is informing you that there are changes that are fixing to be made to you Current Database. Click Yes.

Now you will have to browse to the original Code Repository Database.

Click Open

The Program will start exporting the scripts from the Code Pack to the Original Code Repository. It might prompt you to verify that you want to import files that are already present in the Code Repository. The choice is totally up to you as far as if you want to have a few scripts with the same name in the database or not. Typically I will click YES to import any of the scripts that might already be in the Code Repository.

Click Exit

Now you can open the Original Code Pack and find all the newest imported files from this Code Pack along with all the files in the Original Code Repository and any files that you have imported into the database.

Option 2. Change the Code Pack into a stand alone Code Repository for the KeyWord Search Code Pack

If you choose “Change Startup Form” then it will change the Database into a Stand Alone database.

Click on the Change Startup Form

You will be prompted with a Select OK to continue or Cancel screen, Click OK

Now click EXIT (on the KeyWord Search Code Pack Export Screen)

Reopen the Code Pack.

It will now open as a stand-alone Code Pack - Code Repository.

Code Repository - We want your scripts

rcrumbaker — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 16:30:00 GMT

We are working on releasing a myITforum Code Pack, containing all the great scripts from the myITforum group. In order to try to collect as many scripts as possible, we will be giving away 1 copy of Windows 2003 Server to each of the two top donators of files. The scripts must be ones that were not included in any of the Code Repository Code Packs or the Original Database. The scripts can be any of the following file types: bat, cmd, hta, html, ipf, js, jse, kix, mof, pl, sql, vbe, vbs, wsc, wse, and wsf.

Here is a link that has all the articles relating to the Code Repository on myITforum.com http://www.myitforum.com/blog/rcrumbaker/archive/2004/12/01/178.aspx

Here is what you need to do to get submit your scripts: If you are using the Code Repository already, it is pretty simple -

Go to the Advanced Tab

Check the box to Only Export my items

Click on the Export Button

This will dump all your scripts into the Current Default Folder (Which by default is C:\myITforumcodes, but you will need to verify this)

Then zip that folder up and email it to me

The deadline for submitting scripts will be March 23, 2005.

MMS 2005 - Presentation on the Code Repository

rcrumbaker — Mon, 31 Jan 2005 19:13:00 GMT

LS35 myITforum Code Repository

Speaker(s): Ron Crumbaker, Dan Thomson

Session Level(s): 400

We are the myITforum version of Microsoft's Scripting Guys! I'm Ron Crumbaker; and this is my partner Dan Thomson! We're going to show you The Code Repository, Various Code Packs for the Code Repository and Various Resources as examples of what we do, and how these will help you in your day to day job. Oh, and BTW, the Code Repository and the 2000+ scripts included with all the various Code Packs are free!' The Code Repository is myITforum version of Microsoft's 'Do it yourself script center.' Microsoft's version only stores VB Scripts. The myITforum Code Repository does that but also works with SMS 2003 custom reports and MOF files, Batch Files, Command Scripts, HTML Application, HTML Documents, SMS Installer Documents, Jscript Script, Jscript Encoded Script, Kixstart Scripts, Perl Scripts, SQL Scripts, VBScript Encoded Scripts, VBScript Scripts, Windows Script Component, Wise files, Windows Script Files, MOF files. Not to mention it has the ability to add any type you want. It also has additional Code Packs that you can download and load right into the database, or used as stand alone databases.

Code Repository call for Code Pack Scripts

rcrumbaker — Mon, 31 Jan 2005 16:16:00 GMT

We (Dan Thomson and I) are wanting to gather up some more code so we can release another Code Pack for the Code Repository.

http://www.myitforum.com/blog/rcrumbaker/archive/2004/12/01/178.aspx - Code Repository Links

We are wanting to collect as many scripts as possible so we can get them included in our next Code Packs.

If you are willing to share any of your bat, cmd, hta, html, ipf, js, jse, kix, mof, pl, sql, vbe, vbs, wsc, wse, wsf files then please forward them to me as a .zip file and I’ll add them to the Code Pack.

If you could provide a brief description of the what the file is used for, then I will include the description in the Code Pack.

If you already have files in the Code Repository you want to share, then export them out and send them to me. The export process will export the description and all the other information about the script.

Thank you!!
