Slax build - restore

written by Tomas M. 2 years ago

Some time ago, I wrote about a feature implemented at slax website - to save a selection of modules from your build for later. Today, I finally coded the second part, essential for the whole process - so you can now upload your build.txt back, to restore your selection.

It is also possible to use a GET address to achieve the same, so after a little work you can easily create links to selection of modules. The URL looks like this:

http://www.slax.org/build.php?action=restore&ids=1,2,3,4,5,6

As you can imagine, you may put any ID numbers in the URL and it will recreate your selection. This way, you can send a tiny URL to your friends with your preselected modules, and they can see them directly and download the ISO or TAR easily with modules from your selection.

I hope somebody will find this useful.
As usual, thank you very much for using Slax!

Tomas M,

It appears that you put the wrong example URL in.
The GET address works correctly when build.php is substituted in the place of modules.php .
