Link Websites at the end of installation.

[kukomamasan]

Hi all,
I wonder how you can add at the finish page of the installer, to show a window of links to urls with descriptions that users meight wanna goto?
i know

Function .onInstSuccess
Messagebox MB_YESNO "Wanna visit Website?" IDYES +2
abort
ExecShell "open" "http://www.somesite.com"
Functionend

will give the option to open 1 link, but if i want to have like 5 link shown on an page ? that users meight wanna visit, how is that done?

create a custom page and present the links on that page; either InstallOptions or the new nsdialogs will do the trick.. look into those

[Yathosho]

you can use

code:
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK "My webpage"

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_LINK_LOCATION "http://bla.com"

or

code:
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_TEXT "My webpage"

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_FUNCTION CallWebpageFunction

the first shows a link, the second a checkbox. both are documented in the MUI docs.

Yathosho - those only allow one single link, however; if you want multiple links, base MUI defines and macros won't do

I tried the new nsdialogs, but it only show me the links, was not able to click on them, and then ie would open them ? , it was just in an ordinary text form, not what i wanted.

i read somewhere in the forum, that placing an url in an text box would automactialy be an clickable url, but not in my case?

assuming you are using a current version of nsis the following will work

code:


Var Link

Var Link2

Var Link3

;--put vars above before your custom nsdialogs page code





;--In your nsdialogs page where you had the text control put somthing like these-----------------

;--Create first Link ----------------------------------

        ${NSD_CreateLInk} 10 10 213 16 "Visit our website for more info " 

        Pop $LINK

        ${NSD_OnClick} $LINK onClickLink ;<--function to execute when link clicked

;-- End Create Link--------------------------------------------------



;--Create second Link ------------------------------------

        ${NSD_CreateLInk} 10 25 213 16 "Visit our forums for help" 

        Pop $LINK2

        ${NSD_OnClick} $LINK2 onClickLink2

;-- End Create Link------------------------------------------------------



;--Create third Link ------------------------------------

        ${NSD_CreateLInk} 10 40 213 16 "visit our examples page" 

        Pop $LINK3

        ${NSD_OnClick} $LINK3 onClickLink3

;-- End Create Link------------------------------------------------------



;--after your custom nsdialogs page function is ALL done put something like these--------------







Function onClickLink

Pop $0

ExecShell "open" "http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page"

FunctionEnd



Function onClickLink2

Pop $0

ExecShell "open" "http://forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=65"

FunctionEnd



Function onClickLink3
