[Page] Allow user to enter URL or choose default

[Panarchy]

Hello

How do I create a page allowing user to enter in the URL to download a .zip archive?

I want either a default URL where you can see the text (but user can edit) or a dropdown menu or radio buttons to choose between Default and Enter URL.

I will be using the InetC plugin.

How can I build this interface? (I will be using NSIS MUI)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Chip D. Panarchy

You need to create a custom page with nsDialogs. The nsDialogs readme has an excellent tutorial: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/nsDialogs/Readme.html

Thanks, that method worked for the non-MUI interface, but I can't seem to get it working in MUI...

Can someone take a look?

Thanks,

1. You need to put the custom page command inbetween the other page macros.
2. You don't create a custom page in your custom page function. Please follow the tutorial in the nsDialogs readme, as I pointed out before.
